The people who insist on conflating permanent DST (where we switch once and never switch back) with permanently keeping the current model with all the health detriments involved is wild.

I’m with you so far, but I question how that’s still not the publisher’s fault and their liability.

The main reason is because it seems that when the publisher puts the game up for sale on steam, that entity chooses whether or not to add game play data including music and trailers. So they are choosing to give that information to Valve and giving Valve permission to use it. Which means they are the ones who don’t have the legal ability per their license to do so but did so anyway.

The best I could say for this lawsuit with those facts is that Valve is guilty of taking their word for it that they were legally allowed to use the posted video or audio in that way.

If I license something and my license includes certain provisions for distribution but not other provisions for sale or advertisment, then I choose to advertise, then I should be liable for that breach not the venue that I used as the mode for advertisement.

This is like suing a billboard company for posting an ad with artwork I didn’t properly license for the advertisment space.

I don’t like people but I like them more than I like AI.

I also grew up in the 80’s when you’d ask an older sibling to beat the boss for you.

I would rather pay another human being to TeamViewer in and beat the boss.

Good Lord.

They weren’t the only airline to give pushback against the use of air tags, but they seem to be the only one being accused of attempting an outright ban.

Are airlines still actively disallowing the use of trackers like these to track luggage? Because they were very unhappy when apple users were using air tags to do this and instituted policy against it.

There are people in the world who think addiction doesn’t exist full stop. That’s part of the reason I used gambling addiction as an example.

You aren’t going to convince people who don’t believe. It’s not worth it to try to remind them because they aren’t going to change their mind unless they experience it in their real lives.

But the problem here is that the aim of this group isn’t to bring awareness of porn addiction, and advocate for the people afflicted with it. The main aim of this group is to further their religion based vendetta against the porn industry. That’s actively harmful to people like you who have an addiction. Specifically because it makes other people take you less seriously.

And yet here you are trying to (at best) hitch your sail about pron addiction to an article and discussion about a group that are actively harming you, who also did a bunch of illegal shit to people who studied the group and released information about it that wasn’t flattering to them

Those illegal actions include doxxing and inciting people to sexually assault one of those researchers.

Maybe read the room.

We put legal caps on who can gamble and where not because it can be addictive but because it can have damaging affects on anyone who uses money because it is a game of chance, at which you can lose, and it requires an adults ability to make decisions about property (where the law doesn’t recognize the property of minors).

Fundamentally what you are arguing is that there are people who have an addiction and you want advocacy for those people, at the cost of the freedoms of other people, because that’s exactly what this co-opted group is trying to achieve. That’s why you receive pushback against your comments.

Addiction is a psychological medical issue. If you have an addiction it’s very likely that you need medical help to deal with that addiction and treat/overcome it. That doesn’t mean that lawfully people who don’t have that addiction should be forced to put themselves in danger to have whatever materials you happen to be addicted to.

I don’t think businesses are going to be getting any CPU’s to make new PC’s during this shortage either. The average budget laptop cost has skyrocketed.

CPU upgrades? What CPU’s? Are the CPU’s in the Microcenter with us, Microsoft? Can you show us on the shelf where the mystical CPU’s are?

Is the shortage a mirage? Our imagination?

Yes, I’m sure we do, but while things like Battleye and Easy Anti-cheat, and so on do work on Linux to an extent, but they don’t really have access to the Linux kernel.

I don’t think that people are demonizing them for attempting to migrate to Linux.

I’m pretty sure (because of my own reaction to this news, as well as the other comments) that it’s to do with people’s dislike of kernel-level anti-cheat and EA’s attempt to bring that to Linux.

I’m still not gonna buy games with anti-cheat, EA.

America hasn’t won a war (or conflict even) since WW2.

He’s a man shaped entity with the brain of a dementia riddled geriatric because that’s exactly what he is. That man has so many health conditions the only reason he’s not dead is they’re fighting over who gets to kill him.

1. This means they had to verify my teenager is a kid. I don’t want it collecting information on my child.
2. This means that they also have verified I’m the parent or legal guardian of said child meaning whether I use Instagram or not they are collecting information on me, and I don’t want that either.
3. The algorithm for Instagram is a major direct contributor to suicidal ideation and this does nothing to fix that.

No thank you. Burn it with fire.

You mean Xitter doesn’t hand over data without a warrant when it can harm their products?

Or just ignorant.

And potentially inhibiting both the manufacture of the COVID vaccine and MRNA vaccine research as a whole.

Not exactly. Princeton NJ and the surrounding areas are quite wealthy. The wealthy/elites have decided they don’t want their places polluted or to subsidize the costs of these data centers. It certainly wasn’t Newark and Camden that fought and won this.

They may have done, but if you’re referring to the kidnapped woman who’s footage was pulled from the backend after they said she didn’t have a subscription, she had a Google Nest Camera.

I wouldn’t doubt that Amazon does this too but Google is just as bad if not worse.
