Playstation should definitely be top - right lol
Wait has this been a widespread issue? I’ve only noticed this a couple weeks now, but I thought it was because the cat dropped my deck from the table 😶
What’s going on actually?
This is really interesting, but I got a bit confused by the language.
Can someone explain, what the “common mistake” being done by bad research until now is?
And what is the conclusion relating to alcohol use?
Even to the (insufficient, overblown) extent that it happens, lifting “the poor” Han Chinese out of poverty by putting other populations (Uighurs) under slave labour instead, is not the moral win you’re implying.
If an ethnic cleansing is part of the requirements, to stop committing humanitarian atrocities towards “the poor”, that’s still an atrocity.
Disclaimer, the USA, just like every authoritarian state, is also disgusting and criminal.
I’m getting the sense that you didn’t actually watch the whole video, because your only two points in this comment,
In the absence of IP laws, creatives would be able to create their works, but they’d also be competing against companies that have the resources to monetize, influence the general public, and kill the franchise through poor choices.
And
It’s really important to know that the vast majority of people aren’t going to have the goodwill to tip or otherwise support free works, and it’s even less likely if a large company does enough marketing to overshadow an artist.
, are answered during the video, and I don’t see you arguing the points made by him, you’re just straight up stating the opposite.
And your first point,
Right now, a majority of creatives don’t own their IP in the legal sense, and they can’t stop large companies from milking their works dry as a result.
, is about how the current system doesn’t work to protect actual artists, yet does work to protect large IP-pimping companies.
“Reasonable control” is only possible in the legal sense, not the real sense, so I doubt artists care about it, outside of monetisation, which is what we’re attempting to replace.
Right now as we are speaking, the art of thousands upon thousands of those creators is being stolen constantly by legally gray AI scraping by huge companies, or illegally by smaller merch leeches.
The internet makes data protection impossible.
The law, only prevents the most egregious kinds of ‘monetisation with someone else’s art’, and is unable to stop the rest, for practical reasons.
If artists didn’t have to worry about being compensated enough… Would they still want to have “reasonable control”? Would we still “risk” them being “demotivated”, from being unable to forbid others specifically from making money with their ideas?
I think the human drive to create isn’t that neurotic. I think this kind of “demotivation” only happens for the kind of human who has been abused for years by the rules of the absurd economy we live in. And that’s what we’re saying should change.
Hey hey now. Don’t hate the companies themselves. They’re playing the legal game in the exact, only way the rules allow it to be played. If they don’t, the law and the shareholders fuck them up instead.
Edit: I guess tone is hard to convey through text, so let me be clear:
Companies bad.
But also:
Just hate the copyright law itself, directly. Its only reason for existence is so rich fucks get richer, safer, and should be just abolished.
(45 minute video by Uniquenameosaurus, who also has done an incredible series of videos on the practical ethics of media piracy, with a focus on anime as a jumping off point).
In case it’s not obvious to anyone reading, fitgirl is not a working out guru, and don’t Google her directly, her site has 50 bajillion copycats with malware. Go to your neighborhood’s friendly piracy community, and look for her in the guides.
Yeah, that’s a toxic and underestimated cultural blight.
The joke itself was good, but thanks for the psa, not enough people think about that shit as the problem that it is.
… I don’t know if I’d call it sad, as much as kinda baffling. Vim was on every package manager list I’ve seen, under text editors… Big stylised letters, how does one miss that?
I feel like it’s someone who only uses Linux specifically for (and because of) their work, and has probably never tinkered and casually browsed around in it.
Yeah, I can see how that can be sad, like a person who doesn’t actually share your culture/hobby after all.
I mean… Young people don’t know things yet… Isn’t that normal?
I get feeling existential about the passage of time, but… Sad? Laughing? Maybe I’m imagining it wrong, but I dunno. Maybe I’m just the young person in this occasion.
And also justified praise.
There could never be a story like Nier Automata on any medium outside of gaming, and there probably is no story like Nier Automata anywhere else in gaming right now.
Also, clicking robots is pretty fun.
Did you just… Write 8g ram, implying it’s an amount small enough to belong on a school pc?
Not a connoisseur, so take what I say with a grain of salt but… Isn’t the appeal of it, the significant personal interaction? You can’t get that by ripping a couple vods. The ability to live chat (and throw paid messages their way), and have them respond, seems irreplaceable.
This would be true, if recording and labelling that work was free. But it isn’t, it requires effort.
Can someone fill me too?
Already not blind for the first half of the game because there was a wild Alpharad once.
Spoilers don’t hold power over my enjoyment generally though, so gonna I’m go check it out either way
Also I crave the difficult platforming.
Ooh, I forgot Hat in Time was a thing, I guess I should play it even if a little late
After a short read, the case is specifically “Steam is prohibiting developers from selling their games to other platforms, at a price lower than that of steam, and then pockets the 30% platform cost, due to effective monopoly power”.
Which, if true, is super bullshit.
