not OP but for me, I was banned from /r/pics for criticizing Teslas or something. But the criticism was in a Tesla sub, so there was some cross cub BS happening there. And my criticism was factually correct. “They dont test their cars in rain or snow.”

so im ok with that, and avoided posting or anything in /pics since its all BS and muted on my main account.

however, I swapped to an alt for some maintanence/engagement. and There was a post that came up i thought was from /oldschool cool, and made some comment about it (nothing related to tesla), just supporting the image… turns out it was from /pics, and I got hit with ban evasion. and account loss.

So stupid, that reddit pushed subs that you are banned from, if you dont activly mute them.

so with that, reddit removed a 200k karma account over 15 years old. I moderated and contributed to some subs about a rare dissease, since that was my technical expertice in the real world, so its a loss to that community.

overall that community can rot, under bot led admins

Its true. At least since 2013 rules change https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/aia_implementation/fitf_comprehensive_training_prior_art_under_aia.pdf

USPTO changed to first to file in 2013. I can onky speak to US for this change, as that’s where I am filing my inventions.

Since we are talking about US corps. I focused on US law.

And yes. You can scoop someone else’s water if you file before them these days.

If your company wants to keep its IP. It should be pusing you to file ASAP.

They can be both

Not how modern patents work. Its first to file now…prior art only works if there are simultaneous applications.

Asking for help at the last minute behind closed doors. What leadership

So desperate to propagandize the youth.

its because kirk pushed for the epstein files to be released
