How crypto bros wrested Flappy Bird from its creator

Decadelong trademark fight culminates in new game hinting at "Web3 innovation."

[unpretty]

Court filings show that a company called Gametech Holdings filed a “notice of opposition” against Nguyen with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in late 2023, seeking to invalidate his claim on the “Flappy Bird” name. When Nguyen, who lives in Vietnam, didn’t respond to that notice by November, the US Patent and Trademark Office entered a default judgment against him and officially canceled his trademark in January, allowing Gametech to legally claim the name.

So if you’ve ever wondered how trademark and patent acts as a tool of US imperialism and Capitalist class-dominance, here’s a good example |:T

today in stupid nationalism: apparently one of the debates happening in canada right now is on if they should adopt the f35 (western standard stealth fighter jet on the cutting edge of all capabilities) or the gripen (fundamentally a swedish take on a gen 4 fighter which is. perfectly fine! but a generation behind what america and china both have) and for dumb antiamerican reasons this is being presented as an actual debate on which plane is better

[astronauticalaspirations]

It's stupid we're even in this situation, but maybe Canada should seize the opportunity to build their own Gen 5 fighter.

[bewareofdragon]

Yeah, "dump antiamerican" reasons. Because why not buy a key piece of defense from the country that's threatening invasion and actively trying to undermine the economy for reasons that amount to sheer pettiness? I can't imagine why that would be a bad move. But poor, reviled Americans, I guess. 😒

(You're also very late the party. The debate over whether to go with the Grippen or the F-35 has been going on for more than a year. The F-35 also isn't as great as the Americans love to claim either. Sorry, buddy!)

[galactic-rider]

What is actually really funny about all of this is the fact that the only nation that Canada has to fear an attack from IS THE USA. It never made any sense to buy even a screw from the US, military-wise, unless you're buying weapons to be supporting cast for the US global rampage.

All these industries with shortages of workers and they can’t figure out why.

Im proposing the hypothesis that the reason we don’t have enough doctors/pilots/bus drivers/etc is that maybe, just maybe, having your entire industry function as a lifelong hazing ritual isn’t the best recruiting strategy.

[transhuman-priestess]

Doctors are subject to 8 years of post-secondary education and are forced to work 48 hour shifts.

Pilots and other transportation workers have absurd hours of service requirements that start your rest period as “the moment you shut the vehicle down” and can be as short as 9 hours in some cases.

Railroad workers have to be available on-call 6 days a week and be ready within two hours notice. They don’t get sick time.

Retail workers have to keep a veneer of politeness against any and all abuse or they can be fired.

Truck drivers get paid by mileage and rarely see pay for shipper or receiver delays.

Work should not be designed to make you a miserable burnout and yet here we are.

[griffonatrix]

Airline cabin crew members basically only get paid when the plane is in the air.

Lots of transit operators are extra-board, which has almost all the unpredictability of being on-call but without the added pay.

Retail and front-line service workers are also frequently subject to irregular schedules with short-notice changes.

The more "essential" your job is, the more it's exempt from labor laws like minimum wage, overtime, and collective bargaining. And just to add insult to injury, they're the jobs that most frequently subject you to invasive surveillance and drug testing, because god forbid anyone spend ten hours in a warehouse where they aren't allowed to wear ear protection around screaming loud machinery and smoke a joint after they go home to try and dull the ringing in their ears.

Americans: “it’s like the vietnamese had some kind of mystery superpower death magic or something”

Vietnamese: “the americans weren’t trained to avoid pointy sticks”
