His posture still says a lot, though.

Pizza in the middle, of course.

Considering anyone who isn’t an idiot already uses steganography for security, who is this for?

Better question: Who decides what software “piracy” even is?

Also known as “things we shrug about” and say “maybe we’ll understand these things one day.”

Nothing like hooking your internet up to literal wishful thinking.

This seems like a good time to remind people to update to yt-dlp 2024.11.18, if they haven’t already.

The classic square peg in a round hole problem.

Good thing they have plenty of 1s.

Pro tip: If your outcome isn’t achieved, do not riot on the steps of the Capitol.

Like wealth disparity, you see people claiming more and more within the realm of IP. Where does this sort of land grabbing end?

Don’t worry. Either way, there will still be elections. The real question is whether we start to see candidates “accidentally” falling out of windows or drinking poisoned tea, etc.

“The problem with sites that extract text from movies and other content is that they reduce people’s desire to pay a fair price for content, which can lead to people not seeing the official full-length movies, causing great damage to rights holders,” the anti-piracy group explains.

This argument is not very convincing, and I highly doubt there’s any evidence to support it.

I thought the garbage symbols were part of the humor of the title.

We should totally just go along with DRM, or they might decide to break other stuff. This is totally an innocent request, and far from attempted extortion.

Journalism has been dead for ages. Now, satire (like The Onion), that’s informative.

Now that I think about it, the cause-and-effect here is probably being viewed all wrong.

What likely happens is that a game comes out to overwhelming expectations, and the greater those player expectations are met, the more word-of-mouth gets around about the game. Thus, games that deserve to do well make more money, and pirates are less motivated to work on a crack right away.

If player expectations are not being met, the less success the game receives, and the more motivated pirates are to crack it (driven by their disgust at bad software).

The above scenarios probably do a good job of accounting for 20% of the revenue for a game.

Here’s the thing, though. Even if Trump somehow won the election, Elon Musk will still likely get indicted and get stabbed in the back by Trump. That’s kind of his thing. Trump doesn’t care about anybody but himself.

Nintendo are control freaks. They want nothing more than to have their own official “security” guards watching over everyone’s shoulder, finger on the trigger of their shotgun, as they make sure you play their games (not your games) in the Nintendo-approved way of playing their games.
