ban it for children

Banning shit from children in the biggest Nanny State the world has ever known? Really?!?!

Old, but still relevant:

I was watching a video recently from Coincident about a demo from Okuplok running through his own map.

there was a gap in US music IP law for like 40 years for anything from before the system was nationalized in the 70’s

The system is still shit, especially for music.

The poor already don’t have copyright laws, and the rich continue to have their safeguards. This is already how it is.

What? You think those laws on the books are for you? No. Only the rich get to enforce those copyright laws.

It’s even worse than saying there’s no copyright laws, because the poor think they have them.

Why think hard when you can have somebody think for you?

Who runs the verification service? How is that paid for? How do you know the verification service is trustworthy? What happens if they have a blue checkmark and it turns out it’s not accurate?

First rule of the Internet

Narrator: They could.

Starfield? Try Fallout 76.

Hell, Fallout 4 was still not a great game, but at least it was functional and had a story. As soon as they announced that there was zero NPCs in Fallout 76, I knew that they COMPLETELY lost the plot, and the point of any of their previous RPGs.

Wtf happened to bethesda

That’s exactly my point. Reddit is still shit, and you can’t exactly fork the data, because they’ve locked down the API.

Bluesky could do the exact same thing.

Imagine getting sued by Nintendo because you said the word “Nintendon’t”.

Those pussies couldn’t even put out their tag line without having some legal blurb at the bottom.

Oh noes… my registered trademark!

Bluesky is centralized but it seems like its design is committed enough to open technology that it would take them a long time to walk it back

Let’s not forget that Reddit’s code is open source. Just because their technology is open doesn’t mean that the data, usage, and network are protected.

Wow, this “journalist” had no idea what games programming was like back then. Yars Revenge even used its own code to display the neutral zone. There were a lot of creative tricks like that to save on memory and CPU.

Tanks!

Had a ton of fun with that one when I was a kid.

WTF, Germany?

This is a big part of why fair use is in such a bad state right now: no predictability in how courts will rule on it as a defense, plus no way to keep you out of courts in the first place.

That’s not completely true. Fair Use has four declarations that you must pass, so there’s at least some definition to how it would play out in the courts. But, it’s not a definitive rule of law, so yeah it’s not going to keep you out of the courts.
