I think we’d be foolish to not. From what I can find Blizzard gets over 25 million monthly users really consistently and that’s not including the rest of the store. Toss in Minecraft and Microsoft Store and I honestly would be shocked if Microsoft doesn’t hold more monthly users than Epic Game Store.

If Steam was as monopolistic as it is claimed by Sweeny, having exclusivity away from Steam would be a death sentence for a game.

Microsoft also owns Battlenet now

I want to defend the toilet paper for keeping shit off your hands while TPUSA is the literal shit

Just revoke the trademark in Europe

People are nuanced, billionaires aren’t just people, they’re a distillate of oppression. The amount of wealth and power people like Gates have is perverse, obscene, and unsustainable. With power comes responsibility, if that responsibility feels unfair, give up the power, he could decide to drop everything and feed the hungry.

Lemmy is dogmatic yes, and sometimes that’s really fucking annoying but billionaires aren’t people like you and me, they are disgustingly greedy to the point it is abusive to not just individuals but millions of people.

I think there’s more to it as well as every tool or technology has had an impact on human labor. A lot of the complaints against AI I have found are complaints about capitalism.

But on topic of the post I think noting when AI is used is good just like I’d like to know when it’s a picture of a painting or an actual painting being sold.

Don’t worry, the goal of AI is so that none of us get paid

How it feels around dudes who see you enjoy a caramel latte instead of drinking it black for some reason. Like bro, some Italian grandma drinks espresso harder than you ever have.

I fucking wish

Piracy has never been theft because nothing is missing. It’s not stealing or theft if someone takes a picture of my shoes and makes their own because I still have shoes.

Really, what don’t those people melt down over. They’re reactionaries, they by essence have to melt down over everything.

Pretty much everything does, even your car will and I would totally download a car if I could.

Bigger number to IP addresses because there are so many devices now some regions can run out.

You know you’re a POS when a piracy community cheers for copyright lawsuits

Many will recommend you use Stremio instead. You’ll probably want to use a VPN depending on your region though.

It doesn’t really matter as a PC does so much more than play games. It’s like arguing that a Nintendo Switch is cheaper than an a flagship smartphone. Ok, have fun trying to file your taxes, run blender, write code, browse the web, or backup media on your playstation.

But would it not be just as weird, creepy, and taboo for one to do it with non-nude and therefore non-pornographic material? Would pictures of feet being passed around not be just as weird but also not covered under this law?

We cock things up sometimes.

They shift sequentially though via the paddles on the wheel.

Corporations using open source projects to maximize profits is very common.
