       @jigbean @pixelfed Single Words can’t be copyrighted.It’ll be a trademark.

       @jigbean @pixelfed I think trademarks are fairly complex in terms of rules. Possibly that they are country dependent and so on.Possibly that using the word on its own, for financial gain might be the most risky thing. If it’s just a word as part of another then it’s probably more difficult to challenge.In this case, it’s probably just a company with lots of money, trying it on.

       @jigbean @pixelfed Personally, if it’s the name ‘Meta’ in question, I would rename stuff as ‘Feta’, maybe make some cheese based presets.

       @jigbean @pixelfed Though there are laws around using certain cheese names I think. If you call your product “Cheddar’ but it doesn’t come from the UK, then you may run into trouble.

       @jigbean @pixelfed I am looking forward to Zucking Shithead taking on the polyamorous community next for using the word “meta”.

       @science_quotes On the basis that you have asked about scientific *progress* and that progress can be made in understanding science without it being peer reviewed, my answer is that it depends on context.If the methods are scientific, then the presence of data pertaining to whatever is being studied, is valid, and potentially useful regardless of its accuracy, even just to eliminate possibilities. This I think amounts to progress on some level.

       @science_quotes I which case, I wonder if the basis of your poll is not really to determine if peer reviews are critical to scientific progress but there is a problem to solve or a decision to be made and that an option or options you have may not be peer reviewed.It may be that the non peer reviewed options could achieve the result you need and could be as valid as the peer reviewed ones.

       @science_quotes It could be that an initial study of something is not peer reviewed but brings forth data that can be used for further study that can be peer reviewed. Therefore the initial study could be considered as scientific progress.
