Two things:

  1. Do we know if fuels the urge to get real children? Or do we just assume that through repetition like the myth of "gateway drugs"?
  2. Since no child was involved and harmed in the making of these images... On what grounds could it be forbidden to generate them?

You need to toake into account that we're talking about a Kirby game here, which are all 2/2.5/sometimes 3D platformers. So The real effect of Dolby in such a thing would have been close to zero.

oh, it was the racing game? I must have gone through the text too quickly then. Yet, if we're pragmatic: How many people would have really enjoyed that game (which wasn't stellar to begin with) more with properly encoded surround sound, and how many would have enjoyed it a tad less because of the annoying logo spam on startup? I don't think Surround-Sound-enjoyers were the target audience for that one.

luckily, most games are easily modded: Just put a 1-2 frames black video file where the brand logos used to be. Done.

I got the impression that “removing” means removing before it was really implemented. Like, it was planned and decided upon, but it wasn't ready. He checked the license and went “nope, not having it” and scrapped the feature. It doesn't truly become clear in the text, of course, but that's how I read this.

Publishers will like a database because it can be modified. If they were forced to implement such a system (thus abandoning all 'sell the same game to the same person twice' for different platforms), they'd oppose a blockchain system hard, since it would make it pricier to:

a) publish seven bazillion versions of any given game
b) revoke ownership of games just because it's cheaper to do that than honor the deal they made with customers
c) correct any data-fuckups they will inevitably make because they went for the cheapest route possible to implement this, and it went pear-shaped from day 3 onwards

I'm very much on the database-side here as well. I work for a Telco company here in Germany, and we use several such databases that are regulated by external bodies and government agencies to communicate between carriers (for number porting and such). Works great overall.

I don't get the premise of posts like that. We scold Google and other corps for not following the laws they are supposed to follow (data protection for example).and then we scold them for daring to follow lawmakers, when we don't like the laws they follow. Which is it?

Norgur ,

So we want Google and such to ignore laws when we think they should be ignored? Who decides which is which then?

Or Trump up some wild charges about tax fraud or something

It's very premise is the polar opposite of interesting or innovative. It's pretty much the white bread of Linux: incredibly bland, but will fit into everything that requires bread.

How can this be damaging if you ain't trying to sell it to us in the first place?

Norgur ,

Oh no, don't get me wrong. I'm boring and annoying at the same time in both situations. It's not one or the other. It's both, constantly

With my G604, the rubber sheet on top of the mouse comes loose after 2 years or so. Started again yesterday. Once it starts to disintegrate, I'll just leave Logitech behind for good.

Noticed it stopped working yesterday, wasnt at home so I couldn't really get into it, just checked the docker logs via portainer on the go and was like "wtf is this error?!" Was relieved when I learned what the issue was and that it's just a restructuring of the containers.

While it can be unnerving that they don't shy away from breaking things in order to improve the service, it's actually a very good thing and keeps the app from getting bogged down in some "but backwards compatibility"legacy code hell (wonder what some people in Redmond would know about that). Let's just hope that they never publish an update that permanently breaks things when you haven't followed a very strict weird update procedure or something.

Hey, 'Muricans, how come we need to pressure every company into compliance for you?

Norgur ,

That's a message for the Brits then. As long as the USA are a almost daily reminder as to why completely private healthcare is a really bad idea, mist countries that have public healtcare will probably be very hesitant to even discuss shit like that.

Yet, ideas being obviously and utterly stupid hasn't stopped the Brits very often in the past, has it?

In my eyes, Piped and such are the ideal solution, not peertube. Not, because peertube is bad, but because with using Piped, you can have your videos and you can have them on a FOSS surface, but leave the nasty tasks like paying for enough storage to host all those videos to the data guzzlers who get denied their return. Some real Robin hood shit right there.

I love how at the time if me answering there are exactly two replies one telling OP that their statement about ADHD is inaccurate and one telling OP that their statement about autism is inaccurate.

Found the backend dev. "CUT THIS AESTHETICS NONSENSE! GIMME THE VARIABLE CONTENTS ALREADY! WE'RE 3.54 NANOSECONDS BEHIND!"
