what’s on the parent’s right bicep? it looks like the three arrows but mashed up with the big line go up
I love this thing where buying something has been replaced by buying an alterable, revokable license to access that thing. It lowers costs and adds flexibility for producers, which allows them to save money, and they pass that savings on to me in the form of higher prices and my shit that I paid real fucking money for just disappearing one day. Then they explain that I never really “owned” it despite the fact that they use the word “own” in the marketing material, because it’s also legal to use words that have known definitions in agreements and then later explain that you were actually using an entirely different, secret definition of that word that’s actually the opposite of what you very purposefully implied.
The requests were made under the guise of anti-terrorism laws
Remember this the next time someone in government says “We need tough anti-terrorism laws”. They also get to define what counts as terrorism, so anyone inconvenient can be destroyed and the public told “We’re just keeping you safe from terrorism.”
even then, it’s essentially paywalling your rights. you need to go to court, wait for the matter to be adjudicated, hope it works out in your favor, run out any potential appeals, all while paying attorneys and not being able to do something you’re legally entitled to do. If you can’t do all that, then your rights are moot.
which tv manufacturer was it that updated their eula and if you didn’t agree it bricked your tv?
I can’t help but think that if this sort of thing proliferates that it will essentially hamstring reviews. This particular agreement might be just because the game is in alpha, but it’s part of a broader trend of ToS/EULA wishlists that are so restrictive that they’re probably illegal already buy in order to test that you have to go to court against a huge, overpaid legal team which leads to people having their basic rights violated.
I WAS THE FIRST TO ADD A 9 TO A C NOW EVERY ACOUSTIC COVER FROM 1988 TO 2004 OWES ME $6
Sexual assault victims have a time limit. Copyright infringement “victims” do not. Tracks.
any time I ask fleetwood mac fans what makes them special, it’s always that they were really awful to one another, and the person telling me about it always gets really excited like I should be impressed that they were really awful to one another.
not my experience at all across 3 separate companies. Ime senior engineers are the highest level that still spends most of the day heads down most days, and that’s why I’m gonna stick it out at this level as long as I can.
your company has money for no one above mid-level engineers to be actually building the product?
rules aren’t there to be enforced, they’re there so that when you break them you take a second to think about why.
This doesn’t reflect my housemate’s experience in Italy at all. Evidently if they detect an American accent in your “buongiorno” they’ll just spend the rest of the day mocking you in Italian and occasionally just yelling “DONALD TRUMP HAMBURGER TRANSGENDER” at you.
How do you propose bootstrapping a dedicated community? Genuinely asking, is the plan for there to be a dev-hosted service for a while until the community either develops or fails to develop, then to hand it off?
what’s your solution for online matchmaking in a squad shooter?
not sure which ones, but at least one charges you per day for the length of your sentence even if you’re let out early
the strength in being vulnerable enough to accept outside help
Get out of my head. I lost my first apartment because I refused to ask for help when I needed it. I wasn’t evicted, but when they turned our power off the landy decided he wasn’t gonna renew our lease. I had to get humble and move home, then I was able to finish my degree and get a new career (I went tech instead of medicine but the parallels are there). Now I’ve got the dopest job ever where I’m respected and well paid, I’m married, I own a home and I’m happy.
there’s a difference between being willing to take an arrest and getting arrested for something stupid. that’s like saying that the point of an army is being willing to die for your country, so the best and bravest are the ones who enlist and then immediately commit suicide. be willing to take a hit, but be strategic about the hits you take and avoid taking a hit for no good reason. it’s about getting the thing done, not proving that you’re super legit.
