how do I make use of my invention to make money if some rich mass manufacturing company can come and simply copy my design?
You mean how do you get a monopoly on an idea so you can be another piece of shit taking advantage of morons who don't know any better? I'm sure the useful idiots would be glad to give you tips on how to fuck them over so they can live vicariously through you while working service jobs. Watch.
Anyone who honestly believes that necessary work wouldn’t get done without copyright and patent laws is a moron going to bat for people richer than him. It’s unfortunately the default state for most of us at this point.
If you can't protect your own ideas, you shouldn't have billions of dollars of taxpayer resources to protect them for you.
All the resources wasted enforcing copyright and patent laws, which themselves exist solely to increase the price useful idiots have to pay, could be spent doing anything else that is actually beneficial for us.

Schnauss doesn't rewrite the rules and has even gone on record as saying that the techniques used by classical composers for traditional instruments translate very well to making music with electronics. Instead of expecting something that tries to set itself apart as much as possible from what came before, I'm referring to artists that build upon the ideas of the past.
Another artist who you've probably never heard of that fits this bill is William Orbit. He's already bigger than Schnauss and way more recognized because of his collaborations. I guarantee if you haven't heard of him, you've heard a song he's collaborated on.
Listen to some of his solo stuff: Hello Waveforms, My Oracle Lives Uptown, Strange Cargo 5. He actually 'recently' released a new album called The Painter and I highly recommend it. It's the same concept as with Schnauss. They don't ignore what came before; they learn from and integrate it into something more.
I think the longevity of the Beatles compared to Elvis coincides with how much younger they are. Sure, they're not "that much younger," but the difference seems to linearly relate to their staying power; I'd expect the Beatles to be as relevant as Elvis is now in a few years.
That's not to say there's no chance for a brief resurgence of any of their music. Look at how fusion from the 80s made a comeback a few years ago. It didn't lead or change the direction music is going, but people could still find value in it after the "been there, done that" phase has passed.
Fairly diverse. I try to avoid the censorship and propaganda across the spectrum as much as possible.
The fediverse isn't quite there yet thanks to mod abuse and agendas, but it has the potential to be a bastion of free speech where truly diverse ideas can be available for all to see and partake in.
Just about all social media and mainstream news is shit because of censorship. You either see it, or you don't. There's a culture that people are being conditioned to uphold, and anything that threatens said culture is suppressed as much as possible.
Nothing that's a 'hit' in the modern day will have any of the staying power of say, Beethoven.
Even now, hits are dead within a few years. The average person is being conditioned to only 'consume' entertainment that has been recently released.
To hopefully drive this point home, notice how Weird Al parodies have more staying power than the songs he's parodying? Nobody thinks this will be the case when a song is new and the consumer bandwagon is being told to like it.
I'm sure people thought, say, something like SAIL would 'stand the test of time,' but it's actually cringe as fuck to listen to now. That's not going to change as time passes.
Notice how Elvis, the 'king of rock' has no staying power? I'm sure if you told people that he'd be irrelevant now a few decades ago, they'd look at you like you're crazy. Meanwhile, literally nobody gives a shit about Elvis unless they're trying to be different or for whatever reason had his music shoved down their throat.
There is contemporary music that will stand the test of time, like from Ulrich Schnauss and Felix Laband.
I figured it out, and it surprisingly is possible.
ChatGPT was able to walk me through it. The big issue I had was that I was trying to connect using my own machine, which does not work. However, trying to connect using my phone did work. I also had to bind my VPN's local IP (it's different than the one that displays in the app) for nginx to work.
I could verify my VPN's local IP with ip -4 addr show. It's the entry with tun0.
http {
server {
listen LOCAL_VPN_IP:VPN_PORT;
server_name localhost;

I agree with him.
You're probably insecure.
