But if you abolish #copyright, there will be no #FreeSoftware. The GPL and all free software licenses, as well as #CreativeCommons licenses would become invalid, unenforceable, and obsolete. That doesn't sound like a better world to me.

I try to focus on finding content on the journey...
nostr:npub144umq2dp88td86x4l9xtk4vaasgafnc7q2yqh4qvf0tzc4zyfdgq98qcsm Might be getting tangled up in terminology here. The sandwich is a good distraction from the journey but sometimes one has to make choices about the journey itself. Maybe I should have said “wider picture” instead of “long term”? I dunno.

And even if it doesn't work? Sandwich!

There are three things that make me happy: time on my motorcycle, time with a curled-up cat, and when I do stuff that makes me useful.
I’m at the #makerspace right now so no bike and no cat. This is a great place for the third option. However, I’m supposed to be fixing problems on the website so the odds are not in my favor.

It's time for the every-three-months ritual of "forgot to renew my certificates and now I can't get or send email”
I designed and printed this #TVCoG bath bomb floating diffuser for our Program and Events Manager Liz's birthday (a couple days late). I tested it to make sure that it floats at least for a few minutes but I have no idea how it will work with fizzy bath bombs. So Liz's birthday present is basically that she gets to beta test my design. #MadeAtTheCoG #3DPrinting
Tech Valley Center of Gravity's July HATCHED event is going to be an Ask Me Anything (about Prototyping) with Troy Fischer. Troy showed us his workshop and projects a few times during lockdown when our social nights were done on Zoom, and I always found his stuff inspiring. https://www.meetup.com/cdiemny/events/294211150/
Organizer dividers are about the simplest things someone could print so I’m almost embarrassed to “show off” this #3DPrinting project. But the payoff for a few minutes of printing is having more space to organize the zillions of tiny things I have here in the workshop and that’s a big deal to me.
It sure is nice when, after months of tweaking and hunting down error codes, I can just send a file and it prints. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a ton of tweaking for me to do, but being able to get some things printed here at home with the printer I (re)built is really gratifying. #3DPrinting
