Epstein’s island wasn’t even the first private island set up for sex crimes focused on pedophilia. It’s just better known because it’s tied to the president. This is a case of ‘I know two things: Epstein and waffles. This isn’t waffles.’
Most assuredly not.
No. No fun. Fun-seeking got us into this horseshit. Learn to be satisfied with pleasant.
How about a 100% cut on in-app purchases. And a 100% revenue tax. They shouldn’t exist.
Not to be overly pedantic on the internet but something’s availability being ‘dependent on where’ is definitionally ‘not everywhere.’
Public wi-fi is definitely not everywhere, but yeah, either you take joy in sharing the knowledge you have or you end up being a bit rude to prevent being asked.
No. Economics is the child of math, not a sibling. It’s only half math. The other parent is philosophy/creative writing. That’s how you end up with the myth of barter and trickle-down, the stuff based on speculative storytelling, that refuse to listen to math.
Can you still access the info by hitting edit? It was possible last time I checked. Even so, yeah, I’m thinking a transition to bitwarden is not a bad idea.
End corporate personhood. IP laws have become malign corporate distortions of reasonable artist protections. No company should be allowed to ‘own’ anything, but certainly not IP. A company has no intellect, thus cannot have intellectual property.
As for this case in particular, selling a mod is absolutely not infringing on the IP of the game it is attached to any more than selling a clip on bookmark/magnifying glass/book light (a tool attached to a piece of media to grant the user a useful extra functionality/greater ease of use when interacting with that piece of media) infringes on the IP of the author.
Mostly just toys.
If you can’t rely on them more (not ‘just as much,’ more) than the people who would do whatever the task is, you can’t use them for any important task, and you aren’t going to find a lot of tasks which are simultaneously necessary and yet unimportant enough that we can tolerate rolling nat 1s on the probability machine all the time.
The point was not that empire is not villainous, simply that the ‘history will not be kind to’ sentiment is mostly pointless ressentiment. All it does is mollify the slave with the pretense they will get their reward after death and the oppressor will get their punishment. The empire does not care. The ones that care about history will write the history they want the world to remember after their death and live the life of the wealthy conqueror until they do.
A certain subset of people do. There are still lots of Brits who not only don’t hate the idea of empire but think it should come back. There are even people in the former British colonies that romanticise that history. There are people now, and will continue to be, who look at the history of empires, conquerors, and tyrants, and cheer for the ‘great men of history.’ Maybe one day that might change, but it’s going to be a while, if ever.
Didn’t they have ‘drivatars’ in that racing game years ago at this point? An AI imitation of a player should not be patentable.
Sure. Just like how we all villainise Rome, the British empire, the Khanates, and other violent militaristic cultures of conquest… and, of course, no one would look back fondly on governments that enacted policies of hate and murdered their citizens and others… Oh, wait… /s
It’s Debian. Let us know when you have your first real issues with it, probably some time in 2037.
Quite. Some of them make it as difficult as possible, requiring the request to be physically printed and sent in via the post. Some hide the information regarding how to make the request as obscurely as possible. And essentially none of them treat it as a ‘and don’t collect any more’ request so they just start up a new collection on you the next time you do basically anything with one of their ‘business partners.’ Allowing people to request deletion is just the excuse they use to keep collection legal when it shouldn’t be.
Never question the customers’ reasons for buying.
If you’re wanting to use software that’s most easily available on different distros, why not just use Distrobox? If you are just wanting to change the UI, why not just switch DEs? If you really need to be able to randomly switch away from/to system level differences, what are you doing? What would necessitate that?
Then I can’t get in, much less sit at a table.
The researchers, desperate for a cleric to support their party, then attempted to teach Kanzi how to play DnD.
Kanzi, being a bonobo, then humped the imaginary object and asked for more snacks.
