Fuck Scott Adams.

The former president seemingly remembered that violating his gag order by commenting on witnesses could land him in jail

Oh, he remembered. He just thinks he's playing 4D chess by tweeting then deleting because "it doesn't count."

I've had Americans ask me the meaning of words I've used in a sentence. Like "what's tranquil?" (I'm non-native.)

I blame reading.

To me, bots are just noise if not summoned directly. Like when you're having a conversation with your friend, then a loud roomba comes in and tries to clean the very space you're sitting at.

"Hey bot, tell me facts about the article OP posted."

"Sure! [etc, etc]"

Versus:

"HEY I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T ADDRESSED ME DIRECTLY BUT YOU SAID THE WORD 'BUTT' 17 TIMES TODAY!"

Edit: Ok, I read the article. Yeah, him charging at the cop with that tool was a really bad move. I still think the situation could have been handled differently. Could have.

Tasers, batons, or just run away. Diffuse the situation. Imagine a judge saying "You charged against a cop with a gardening tool? Sentenced to DEATH!"

The boy didn't get a fair trial. He was murdered with no justification.

Yuzu may go down, but Nintendo hasn't learned the lessons of the Streisand effect and the hydra effect. The code is open source. 10 more projects will pop up the day after Yuzu goes down (IF it goes down.)

that let's you deepfake

that lets* you deepfake

I guess I'm woke, then.

as Firefox is the only browser that can't trace its lineage back to Apple and WebKit

What a slap on Konqueror's face.

Exactly my thoughts. "Let's jailbreak this, bypass that, circumvent that one thing..." Why do you subject yourself to this with a device you paid hundreds of dollars for?

As much as I'd like to have an iPhone, I'd rather not.

As an aside, it's the same thing with game consoles. Is the whole "you must be connected to the internet" thing still happening? That's what has been preventing me from getting a new xbox, for example.

You're not thinking deeper enough. Imagine a deep-faked Trump saying "Actually, I like Mexicans. It was all a joke. Borders open for everyone! And to all of you who gave me money, thank you haha suckers!! I endorse Joe Biden."

Edit: I also read the actual tweet. I think the author was responding to an "aha, gotcha!" moment. Someone posted a screenshot of them pirating his game with the caption "I love pirating indie games." It almost feels like a troll post. And the dev didn't bite the bait. He was like "eh, you do you. Devs gotta eat, sure, but you know what, culture should be accessible too."

Your argument is weak.

1. Ultrakill made the game to make money. Releasing a game "for free" for all makes no business sense.

2. Plenty of publishers do release games for free. Though they hope sell players' data, or ads or add-ons.

3. This dev is just one dev. Everyone else is free to do whatever they want.

So, there.

It’s pretty easy for him to have a chill attitude and say it’s okay to pirate his game after making nearly $100 million on it.

This is true. I don't see a problem with that. Give me $100 million dollars. It will be pretty easy for me to do neat stuff that doesn't necessarily bring me profits.

Edit: Downvoted by corporate suits. On Lemmy of all places.

Elon Musk

Who the fuck cares what this stupid idiot thinks about, anyway?

Interesting reasoning, but I prefer mine. I will keep calling it Twitter if only because its CEO fumes when it's being called Twitter. And I'm okay with that.

"Our Air Canada flight attendant punched you in the face for no reason, then our CEO kicked you in the nuts? Not our fault. They're independent agents."

I didn't downvote you, but you pretty much are repeating what OP said.

"I won't play this game!"

"Well, nobody is forcing you."

Yep, that's pretty much the same thing.

I don't find abs in women attractive. But if women want to have them, and others want to admire them, who am I to stop them?

People don't need to build model trains either.

The project started as a hobby. People can do what they want with their free time.

Wtaf is wrong with that portion of you population.

They would get along quite well with brexiters. Some segments of the human species are........ special.

So, if you study a map of a building, noticing that it has a kitchen at a certain place, then in go inside the building (without the map), and someone says "go to the kitchen," how do you know where the kitchen is? How do you imagine the paths, rooms, hallways to follow?

If I told you "a pink and brown dog," you can't "see" that dog in your mind at all?
