It is. It's called Compulsory Licensing.

There is also an FDA Shortage list (most countries have a similar list).
A drug on that list gives the government additional powers to allow companies to work around the parents.

I think this is why there has been so many "off-brand" weight loss drugs recently. Novo Nordisk had supply chain issues with semaglutide, triggering governments to allow other manufacturers

What if companies lobbied and depositioned that oil consumption wasn't bad, greenhouse gasses don't matter, and that climate change wasn't real? All while having evidence to the contrary.

Like, a company does a thing. Turns out it was a bad thing, but - as an industry - lied under oath and paid money to have it all swept under the rug.

AI companies seem to be marketing their thing as a bad thing, idiots drink the coolaid and make it a bad thing.

I think we are early enough in the adoption cycle before it becomes incumbent.

Oh, and 2 programs side by side and you have to jump between menus of both of them for whatever reason. The whole "1 menu per desktop" is frustrating

Is it decoupling content from presentation? I bet it's decoupling from presentation.
Which is why LaTeX is so popular for scientific papers.

Although I struggled to read the article.

"who you are near" does.
Someone that has recently purchased something might talk about it.
Someone that has commented on a news article might talk about it.
Someone has a panic attack and googles what to do about it.

This is what it smells like to me.
You won't own a computer, just a terminal.
You won't own software, just access to it.
