So uhh... hypothetically if one were to live next to a cornfield and acquire some seeds from said field cough somehow cough, would those purely hypothetical seeds grown in one's garden then constitute corn piracy?

Asking for a friend of course.

I hadn't thought about the Kofi banner thing, and this is anecdotal though my experience, but upon seeing that mentioned my mind immediately jumped to the Steam Workshop; at least with some of the games I play, it's very common to see some form of "Donate".

Setting that aside, the thought occurred to me of somehow tying something we're all used to seeing and interacting with - usernames - into something that if one were so inclined, could interact with somehow to pull up something like a QR code to their "donate box" of choice.

I have no idea how it'd be actually implemented, but it doesn't seem impossible that something like that could allow for both traditional fiat payments, crypto, or even links to "Yoder's Rent-a-goat". I mean, I'd work for a goat as payment, so why not.

QR codes themselves are pretty visually meaningless, and that physical step of the user having to scan it would be that "fully intentional" aspect that'd keep things from being somewhat predatory (thinking in-app payment type stuff).

I have no skin in this game, so just thinking out loud on this, is all.

On the one hand, people should be able to make a living.

On the other, places where every Tom, Dick and Harry has their hand out expecting payment for the most inane things (i.e. tipping culture, states where billboards are allowed...) turn pretty crap pretty fast.

Something to remember is that advertising on the internet was a slow-roll at first... until all of a sudden, everyone has ads and popups.

"Because I wrote it, and they took what I wrote and they are using it without asking me."

I'm using that, and I'm not gonna tell anyone where I got it from! MWahahahahaha!

For real... it'd make sense if it was some sort of original idea... but it's literally a generic descriptor made up of other generic descriptions. And not even in any sort of "unique" combination. You fighting this fight would be like trying to claim that someone copying any one of the above sentences is "stealing my work".

Are we really trying to claim that a vague, generic description is worthy of copyright? lolwut.

I'm fairly confident it's Obsidian, and not sure if the theme's even been changed, as the default Obsidian in dark mode looks the same. Not sure if Logseq uses the same icons like on the left, but Obsidian does for sure.

Yeah... despite the local Wal-Mart having quite the selection for the garage chemical enthusiast, I'd rather not publicly outline terrible ideas that could lead to others being severely hurt or killed.

Though I will throw out there that the access for the fire suppression/sprinkler system is usually fairly easy to access, and covers the entire store when it goes off, conveniently aerosolizing whatever liquids might be in the pipes...

Huh, after the 3rd time my alarm failed to go off, I was thinking I was going insane having thought I set it and merely forgot. But this is actually kind of reassuring, as at least I can rest assured it's not just me.

On the other hand, it has me thinking I should dig out the ol' reliable '80's GE alarm clock. At least that one actually goes off.
