Here’s one example of this system in use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_name

Edit - I realize I probably misunderstood the question. But as said in another comment, it’s just a swap if we’re not talking about patronymic/matronymic naming systems.

A lake of pigshit

I was trying to find information about this restriction. It seems it applies to cash and relates to Danish banks’ ability to implement AML controls. https://www.nationalbanken.dk/en/what-we-do/notes-and-coins/exchange-of-danish-cash-abroad

I have a non-verbal inner voice which gives meta-commentary on my verbal inner voice. If I want to think about what I’m thinking, that’s what is going on.

Ah! Well, apologies.

Nokia sealed their fate when they spent $8bn on NavTeq. Switching to Android would have made the purchase valueless, and the people responsible for the acquisition were still in charge.

Uh, it’s been coined for decades now.

Interest rates rose above 0% for the first time in a decade and suddenly profit became more important than growth.

Edit: actually I’m wrong and it’s more complicated than that, but in essence the era of free money came to an end. Interest rates were increasing before 2020 in very gradual increments, but then went to zero, also accompanied by a lot of money being injected into the system.

So the sudden change at the end of the chart is what caused the regime change driving the trend of growth-driven companies trying to generate a profit - many not having a clue how to do it because they’ve never done it before.

I’ll see how the $50 AliExpress knock-off version works in a year or two

Iain Banks’ book The Business features an organisation where people vote for their leaders. It was quite credible, I thought.

Happened to me in 1997 but I didn’t mind

I’ve had my ubikey fido2 token knocking around on my keychain for about 7 years now. Scratched and beaten, works perfectly and never had a port damaged, it doesn’t put enough pressure on it.

Modest proposal, disenfranchise all normies. Utopia awaits.

It’s getting dark

The only theft going on is the ongoing theft from the public domain, due to corruption of copyright law by special interests enabled by law for hire. Your analogy is irrelevant as the marginal cost of operating a park for an extra visitor is not zero.

I will gladly take a position of moral superiority, because copyright has evolved from a very limited monopoly, intended to encourage creativity while balancing public access, into a licence for corporations to seek rent.

So, call it stealing if you like, I will sleep well tonight regardless.

But stealing is not owning so QED
