What if the Chiefs had drafted Matt Ryan instead of Glenn Dorsey in 2008?
It’s still jarring to see the Chiefs as a sterling NFL franchise. Long after Hank Stram urged his…

"With the deal signed, #Dorsey dove in.. he started back-chanelling with #Musk in earnest.. downplayed the abilities of #Agrawal, having named him only 5 months prior as his ideal sucessor.
"He is really great at getting things done when tasked with specific direction," Dorsey wrote.. Musk began directing Agrawal: Fire #Gadde. He viewed her as the architect of Twitter's #censorshipregime.
Agrawal refused."

#Dorsey und #Musk haben gerade ein paar provokante Tweets rausgehauen zum Thema “Geistiges Eigentum abschaffen”. Ich finde die Idee spannend und frage mich, ob jemand Literatur oder Forschung dazu kennt? Würde gerne mal rausfinden, ob schonmal jemand aufgeschrieben hat, wie so eine Welt funktionieren könnte.
I can't believe I would ever agree with these two, but I actually agree with #Dorsey and #Musk on this, IP law has always at its heart been a protectionist scheme. If all knowledge were freely shared, and no one could stop anyone else from using an idea just because they were the first to the patent office, I think the world would be much further along. I mean the other day I read where someone patented a stick shift in an EV. Why anyone would want a stick shift in an EV I can't imagine, but how is that an idea novel enough to deserve a patent? But the real abuse is where a pharmaceutical company patents a lifesaving drug and then prices it so outrageously high that no one who's not rich (or very well insured, in other words, rich) can afford it.
But won't somebody think of the artists and writers and musicians, you may cry? Well, the problem I have with them is that one of two things happens. In rare cases they retain the rights to their work and then they can keep profiting on work done once. If you were a builder (just as an example), wouldn't you love it if you got paid every time someone uses the building you helped build? But no, you get paid ONCE for the work you did on a given day, and never again for that work. Yet artistic types can keep charging over and over for work done once, every time a copy is sold (at least that is how it is supposed to work under copyright law). Of course in practice the other thing often happens, which is they sell the rights to their work to some huge corporation with IP lawyers up the wazoo, and they get paid a pittance compared to what the big corporation makes. Some mega-stars are an exception, but for every Taylor Swift there are a million musicians, some of whom had big hit recording, that are living in abject poverty, and in the mean time one of the big music companies continues to make money off their work. And heaven help you if you accidentally copy some of their work into some work of your own, because all those IP lawyers need to sue people to earn their keep.
For probably at least the last 50 years, I have believed the whole IP law structure is a scam and a way to oppress people and hold us back (I think we'd have had many marvelous new inventions and cures for disease if no one had to worry about infringing someone else's IP) and to transfer wealth and power to large corporations. Musk and Dorsey have they own reasons for wanting to see these laws abolished, which admittedly are also based on greed, but that misses the point that AI is showing us how fragile and unworkable the current IP laws are. For a very long time, I have said that if reincarnation is real (and I do believe it is, based on scientific evidence but that's an entirely different subject), that if I absolutely do have to reincarnate again, I hope I have some choice in the matter because I would want my next life to be on a planet where there are no IP laws of any kind, and no corporations as we know them.
Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’

"#Dorsey approved of #Bluesky being formed as a fully independent company in late 2021. All he wanted was a form of #socialmedia that could evade capture or control altogether, be it by advertisers, Wall Street raiders, politicians, or shareholders. A month after #Graber's lawyers signed off on the Bluesky paperwork, Dorsey handed Twitter over to #Agrawal."

#Europe is going for the #fediverse.
I'd like to thank #US #tech #oligarchs for slobbering at the crotch of #Trump. We couldn't have done it without you, you absolute fools.
Cue Celine Dion "My Heart Will Go On".

Auf #nostr lacht man sich gerade schlapp. #Elon #Musk sein #X hat #Jack #Dorsey gesperrt. Der Gründer von #Twitter, Mitinitiator von #Bluesky und #Bitcoin Spender an #nostr Da sieht man wieder wie wirklich wichtig ein dezentrales Netz wie #nostr ist. Dort gibt es keine #Zensur! #nostrkurs Teil 3

#FreeOurFeeds füllt mit einer Pressemitteilungen mein Digital-Bullshit-Bingo schneller als Heise in einer Woche.
Schon allein, dass man 30 Millionen Dollar mininum braucht, um einen zweiten (!) Bluesky-Relay zu betreiben, klingt für jeden der tausenden meist spendenfinanzierten Mastodon-Admins wahnwitzig.
Wie so ein Kuckuck legt #Bluesky dem #Fediverse sein Ei ins Nest. 🪺
I realize no one gives a shit about facts, but Jack #Dorsey became a billionaire when #Twitter got listed on the stock exchange ('went public').
Twitter became a Nazi platform when #Musk made Twitter private again (by buying it from the shareholders).
So no, Dorsey did NOT become a billionaire by selling to Musk.
FWIW: You can still not like him or have a problem with billionaires in general. But if you're going to make a fuss, you could base it on actual facts.
For ethical reasons.
Offensichtlich hat man #Dorsey aus der #fosdem 25 als Keynote rausgekickt. Bin gespannt was die Begründung ist. Irgendwie komisch. Als ich von "Protesten" gelesen habe, dachte ich zuerst:"Was? Der arme Poettering."
Aber wahrscheinlich ist er wirklich zu "arm" für Proteste 😂
Ich finds schade, manchmal höre ich auch gerne Leuten zu, mit denen ich nicht einverstanden bin.
It seems #fosdem removed the #Dorsey Talk from the Schedule and Dorsey itself does not exist anymore:
https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/speaker/jack_dorsey/
@larsmb #Dorsey's role in selling #Twitter to #PhonyStark, by itself, is enough reason to shun him.
Read #CharacterLimit by Kate Conger and Ryan Mac: https://mastodon.circle.lt/@dmitry/113189925728765853
Dorsey didn't just roll in his stake in Twitter into Musk's acquisition. He instigated the whole thing, and not just to spite the board that kicked him out. He wanted it to become a #NaziBar and resented people like Vijaya Gadde, Del Harvey, and Yoel Roth who stood in the way.
@eclectech #BlueSky is just #Shitter for #Dorsey fans...
