I’m no lawyer, but it seems to me when it comes to legal cases you want as many facts stacked in your favor as possible, and as few facts stacked against your favor as is possible. Because at the end of the day some jury or judge will decide one way or another, based on facts and prejudices.
It was bewildering to me in the moment that when TOTK was leaked that they didn’t restrict themselves from working on the emu to handle TOTK. It was some nod and wink “breath of the wild” improvements coming in all of a sudden.
Like… for real? If I were the project lead I would’ve banned discussion and development about it until after launch. And part of the legal filing from Nintendo is that Yuzu’s own telemetry shows that Yuzu devs must be aware of piracy because they can see games being played on the emulator pre-launch. Make of that what you will.
I canceled Prime in 2021. The expedited shipping is nice and all but it really just felt like paying rent to someone I don’t like nor want or have to pay rent to.
I wish there could be good, honest transparency on these figures. Figuring out which streaming service actually best funds musicians is almost like playing with a Ouija board.
I remember people giving Spotify shit for increasing their monthly price from 10 to 11. It was the first price hike in over a decade. That doesn’t seem devastating or bad or wrong.
Compare it to something like Disney plus and how drastically they increased the price since service introduction
I will hit the like button on a video I really like. I will comment if I have a question, but not to simply join in on the “discussion” for the purpose of engagement. I will subscribe if the channel is actually good. I won’t do these things because a voice in the video suggests it to me, but because I finally decide, “This content author actually makes something worth watching.”
I have about 50 channels subscribed. Of those, about half are actively uploading videos. Of those, about half upload videos very regularly, and the others very irregularly.
You better watch out.
You better not try
To pirate movies I’m telling you why
Motivated rights holder’s coming to town
He sees what you’ve been viewing
He knows when you’re online
He knows if you’ve been sharing movies
So use a vpn for goodness sake!
did i hit a nerve with disney adults, or something?
I’m just curious, did you downvote me for some reason? Or was that another onlooker?
Because the service is now 75% more expensive than what it cost when introduced only four years ago.
New protected classes just dropped: fascists and landlords.
Bobby Kotick’s alt account?
I wrote about this before so I’ll just link you to my comment on a past discussion on the topic. https://lemmy.ml/comment/2128815
There are a range of viewpoints on this topic in that thread, too.
In my view if it is from an indie I will try to pay for it. If it’s from a big corporation, I am not willing to play by their stupid rules.
Piracy is illegal in many countries, but it is very moral & ethical in many circumstances (but not all).
I unironically love your reply, because there are like 20 ways it can be read and replied to. That’s a good one.
My eternal wish has been for Paintnet to be on Linux. Pinta is pretty good but Paintnet is actually good.
That sucks. Good luck convincing them, or good luck if you failed to convince them and have to use spyware.
Yes, this has been a long-standing point of stupidity in my mind. It’s clearly inconsistent.
