This highlights the importance of anonymity and things like federated spaces on the modern web.
The tendency for people to want to take credit for their work is also at issue here, but the old Internet has a stronger, “I am my username”, emphasis on anonymity and relatively little credit taking for creativity.
I think the focus on personalities, and on single platforms gives companies leverage over as a users and creators of the Internet.I think if we were less concerned about ownership and taking credit, and more concerned about distribution and access, we can make it basically impossible for companies to gain leverage over ideas.
I think also the modern, reactionary view of copyright law is deeply problematic and counter productive. I don’t think the online left quite realizes they can’t can’t have it both ways. Like I get the instinct towards protectionism of small creators, but I think that modern concepts of copyright are fundamentally flawed at both a fundamental legal.level, but also at a conceptual level for what they are ‘pre-supposed’ to protect.
Yeah not in a way detectable to radio telescopes though. If an atmosphere is stoichemetrically ‘far’ from equilibrium, this implies a biogeochemcical process that is pushing it out of equilibrium.
Oxygen very quickly gets reduced out of the atmosphere. Thats the whole point of it as a bioindicator molecule. There aren’t many other species of molecule that are such a clear indicator of the presence of redox reactions. Preter oxidative respiration, If nitrogen was the electron receptor, but its species like ammonia might be visible via radio telescope. Google great oxygen holocaust. We know photosynthesis was happening before then, but oxygen wasn’t the terminal electron receptor.
Oxygen would be a smoking gun, because you don’t keep oxygen in an atmosphere if something isn’t replenishing it.
I got the game and both DLCs for $8 on steam. An absolutely unbelievable deal for that much content.
This play-through, I made the mistake of beating one of them before I finished the main campaign, and now I’m so overpowered that the main quest isn’t super engaging. I’m trying to just knock it out now before starting over.
I had originally started it on the most difficult setting, and was only doing the main quest, but that was like, pretty tough because I was only like level 3 trying to finish the bloody baron quest. So I started over on a reduced difficulty and then made the mistake of trying to ‘complete’ areas before moving into new areas. I basically way over leveled and now pretty much everything weaker than god is paper and just melts.
Next play through I’m either going to try a ‘pure witcher’ play-through where I want to always make the ‘most-witcher’ like decision every time, or, alternatively, I’m considering going ‘utter fuckboi’ and just try to bang any and everything that isn’t nailed down. Either way it will be on the max of max difficulties. Speed running could be fun to but I want to have a 100% run before that.
