Yeah, well Aralβs my name as a human being and my petroleum company namesake can go take a flying fuck because trademark law does not apply. First time Iβm seeing this notice. The Internet is for people not corporations. Maybe itβs time we remembered that and starting implementing laws to ensure it before we lose it altogether.
Whatβs worse? I Want My Name showed it to me as taken when it wasnβt. WTF, folks? Going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume itβs a bug.
@sheogorath It's textbook antidisintermediation. Github is like a posterchild for it. I mean to build a locked-in, centralised, proprietary platform, on top of a decentralised version control tool, hosting half the world's libre software source... pretty fucking wild.
it's really amazing how much a person can grow and change in a lifetime. like for example, 20 years ago i was really into loud guitars and sad lyrics, and now i'm really into acoustic guitars and sad lyrics
A good article by Zeynep Tufecki on the restrictions and control exerted on things that *technically* we actually own.Β By manufacturers like John Deere and Apple. www.wired.com/story/right-to-repair-tenants-on-our-own-devices/ #RightToRepair
@frank I also noticed another issue when setting it up just today on my main site - you need to make sure your author page is not being redirected to your homepage - WP AP needs the profile page to work. Yoast is a culprit for that.
I'm just writing a blog post about the setup, publishing soon hopefully :)
