do you pronounce the singular and plural of Reese’s the same?
what is the plural of LEGO? we asked a fan and they asked if we were cops
not having good chinese food nearby to order is so depressing
why have all the trans women in Washington State not taken over Sappho
@aescling @coriander @Satsuma anyway an important piece of the plot of the book takes place in a store called “Pinn’s Accoutrements” so i got to hear Simon Jones say the word “accoutrements” many times
@coriander i mean only like romance authors and new york times opinion writers and food journalists / cookbook authors but
@aescling @coriander @Satsuma look i listened to the Amulet of Samarkand audiobook a lot as a kid
@coriander if people can sprinkle their vocabulary with random french words to look smart i think you can have a few german ones, as a treat
@coriander anyway i think everyone has a phase where they are like “maybe international markets are kind of bad and we should discourage those”, for one reason or another
and they’re not even necessarily wrong! but Not Like This
@coriander every thirty minutes we would be like “but not like communism! because that didn’t work!” and then go on to describe something else which was just like communism
@coriander i’m not saying we had GOOD ideas but we at least identified the PROBLEM
@coriander see it was me and this mormon kid, and we were like “well obviously people starving is bad, so we need to find a way to get people food when they don’t have money, so maybe the food should just be free” and it kind of escalated from there
@coriander oh when i was in 10th grade i thought the solution was the elimination of the dollar in favour of a state-planned economy where labour was directly traded for goods and services
but called something different than communism, because that’s bad
@mxashlynn the only person who can REALLY help you understand copyright licensing is a suitably experienced lawyer. but for your entertainment, here is my layman’s understanding:
• promoting commercial things on a page which hosts CC NC content, where the CC NC content is unrelated to the commercial things, is ok. for example, i think wikipedia can (and does) throw a fundraising banner on a page which includes a CC NC image. the primary purpose of wikipedia pages is demonstrably not to fundraise, so them linking to a fundraiser from time to time is not a problem.
• using CC NC content specifically IN an advertisement for a commercial thing is probably commercial, even if the advertisement itself is freely available. i wouldn’t do this.
the question for you is probably whether you think your webpage falls in the first or second category. are you being primarily informational, and some of that information happens to involve commercial affairs, or are you trying to obtain a commercial advantage by having a website? who can really say, other than the courts? unfortunately many questions of copyright can’t be determined until someone sues to find out.
as a footnote, putting advertisements (not your own, but other people’s, like DoubleClick) on a page definitely makes it commercial. this isn’t too relevant in 2024 because nobody does that anymore, but it was relevant in the early days of CC, when running ads on your blog meant you couldn’t use any CC NC content. youtube has the same problem. this is why it is encouraged to really think twice before licensing something as NC.
@wallhackio @aescling wheres that philosophy tube
@wallhackio @aescling i mean judith butler is correct so everything after the first two sentences was valid
