I’m 1, and no, not really. But that’s more for ethical reasons.

all right everyone let’s expend extraordinary amounts of energy and time fighting with people over whether this section of internet whiteboard should display a fascist flag or a corporate advertisement! what an incredible use of time!

She lets Triss escape though, font of goodwill that she is.

better than Triss deserves to be fair

If you write something, you own the copyright, period. There’s no registration process or anything like that. If you made it, it’s yours, legally. And the only process involved to exercise your legal rights would just be proving that you’re actually the one who made it.

Of course, none of that makes it certain that no one will claim it as their own or use it for something you don’t want. As a general rule, just assume that anything you don’t want used in a way you don’t like simply shouldn’t be put out into the public at all, regardless of what kind of license you package with it. If you’re an average person and not a billionaire good luck exercising any kind of legal rights for intangible stuff like written words.

It is generally a good idea to include with anything you put out there some kind of license, which could be as simple as a .txt file that says “Made by [name], free to use for xyz purposes with abc caveats”

For a book stuff like that can go into the first or last couple pages that usually include all sorts of random boring information and publisher credits and whatnot

Just keep in mind that hard drives do not last forever. They’ll last a few years of regular use, maybe up to a decade if you’re lucky. Storing media on a hard drive is not like having a box of books in your basement, your kids aren’t going to be able to use them in 40 years.

It was only a matter of time before Google put their foot down and insisted that you can’t have a good experience on YouTube. Its time is coming.

i love hearing about this kinda thing, im sure your kid will be glad to have grown up this way once she’s got the hang of it :)

what is that apostrophe + s doing in the title? Who wrote this? A malfunctioning AI?

Alice what are you doing

because “itter” does not share any sounds with “federated” the way “eddit” does

Hmm, $1 million? That sounds like a lot of money. How much money do they make in a year, I wonder? Oh, $1.6 billion. Okay, so the people responsible for this deliberate scam they pulled probably didn’t even notice the fine. Sweet. Functioning system.

Remember friends, a million seconds is about 11 days and a billion seconds is about 32 years. They fined Razer 11 days of their 50 years of revenue. Wowee! That’ll show 'em.

whereas I’ve configured Firefox on their Linux laptop not to keep any cookies after the browser is closed.

Why? Does this person care about privacy? The average person would much, much rather just have the cookies for exactly this reason.

I only really use Youtube to watch like a couple specific channels and sometimes to look up music. I could easily fill that space with something else.

Eragon is likeable despite not being very good. Probably its greatest strength is just how sincere and inoffensive it is. You can really feel that the author was just a kid writing some fantasy stories. I think there’s value in that.

and Harry Potter tricks a slave owner into freeing their slave.

That happens in the books too. He only does it because the slave owner is a mean slave owner, though, not because slavery is wrong.

lmao good fucking luck

no you’re getting it confused with the crash can

ublock origin on firefox hasn’t blocked in-player twitch ads for me in years. i just never use twitch because of it though

I’m absolutely ready for steam deck competitors. The steam deck is so goddamn good and it can only be beneficial to experiment with this idea more and get more brains working at it.

Yeah, this shit’s just weird all around. Don’t ask for money, but swap the site to invite-only because people aren’t giving you money? Calling it invite-only, but offering no path or conditions for getting an invite? Calling it invite-only but saying that it will at some point be open again? Giving no explanation as to when or why it might open again? If it costs too much money to be open why would it open up?

Just weird. Use your words, people.

Northernlion is great for indie games. He plays all sorts.
