The colours have only partial relevance to whether it’s more or less ethical in the context of piracy. The colours signify more what is better for that category specifically. Having no DRM is better than not, supporting a creator is better than not, having it availble to buy or rent is better than having it discontinued, as a few examples.

Green = Good for that category, Red = Bad, Yellow = Mixed, Grey = Not good nor bad.

Rentlar ,

Seems also like writing the total amount underneath the “Amount Enclosed” box instead of inside it is supposed to mean something special.

Rentlar ,

They investigated themselves and we’re happy to report that they found nothing wrong.

Rentlar ,

It’swhat they get for “Biten” the hand that’s been feeding them for months…

Rentlar ,

It’s a good game since release that you can tell has had a lot of love put into many elements. If Industries and mass transit were your favourite DLCs then those are integrated decently in the C:S2 basegame.

Performance was downright awful at release but has gotten to a reasonable level.

There are a lot of elements that are still far from refined. Some parts still feel shallow and lacking depth. Some of the depth is there but just hidden from us giving us little clue of how it functions, and some unexplained bugs coming from that. I would like way more information on how the land value, rent and demand are determined, who is ordering what commodity and how it’s getting there.

Rentlar ,

Does it come with the random fly that hits the windshield?

Rentlar ,

Did you see the news The Crew is Shutting Down their servers in April? If you bought this game, and live somewhere where your consumer protection agencies might have teeth you could help this guy put up a defense against companies bricking games you paid for.

Rentlar ,

Calhoun’s MCAS might have been set incorrectly 👀

Rentlar ,

Well Blizzard isn’t going to see my money any time soon then. It’s unfortunate because I love Starcraft but they don’t want me to purchase any of their stuff because apparently “purchase” means nothing to them except to suck money out of apathetic drones.

Also the SC2 Arcade mode recently had an exploit that leaks IP addresses due to poorly filtered text rendering.

Rentlar ,

Thank you Mr. Skeletor. It is important to get the occasional outside perspective on living from an undead evil villain. Nyeh.

Rentlar ,

What I love about both Toronto and Montreal’s downtowns is that you can experience it from above ground outside (like what you see in the photo) and from the inside (the PATH in Toronto and la RÉSO/Ville Souterraine in Montreal).

Great photo, thanks for the share.

Rentlar OP ,

Source of the Non-Credible Take, I just help provide missing evidence, that’s all :)

Rentlar ,

It’s the year of the Red Star OS desktop!

Rentlar ,

I finally upgraded my phone after 7 years. I had trouble picking out a phone that didn’t remove everything… no headphone jack, no sd card slot and we’re supposed to call that an upgrade? (What I got still has those thankfully)

Rentlar ,

Yeah. I paid about 650USD (900CAD) knowing I’d keep this for a few years. I’m still not going to put it on financing.

Rentlar ,

Only armour on the top half of your body counts towards your defense stats, so this loadout optimizes running speed.

Rentlar ,

I’m glad you are here and having a great time participating in the Fediverse!

Rentlar ,

Google removes the “market” so they don’t have to be forced to compete with it.

Rentlar ,

My living room’s ceiling is leaking.

The statement above is investment advice.

Rentlar ,

Oof it’s pride and accomplishment all over again.

America’s Magical Thinking About Housing: The city of Austin built a lot of homes. Now rent is falling, and some people seem to think that’s a bad thing (www.theatlantic.com)

If you want to understand America’s strange relationship with housing in the 21st century, look at Austin, where no matter what happens to prices, someone’s always claiming that the sky is falling....

Rent doubles: Get used to it, renters.

Rent drops 7%: Oh, the humanity!!!

I assure you, it’s a high-grade, premium latinum blend!*

*90% gold, 7% soybean oil, 3% latinum.

The bot has determined that Brady deserves it.

Rotating banners on /r/piracy (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hey mates, recently I’ve developed a tool to use the GenerativeAI on the AI Horde to created random avatars and banners on lemmy. To keep things spicy, I wanted to deploy to rotate the /c/piracy banner daily, as I’ve done in a bunch of other communities like !stable_diffusion_art and the lemmy.dbzer0.com....

Rentlar ,

I really don’t have a say as a user on another server, but I’d think you should do what you want because a pirate is free.

Plaster AI generated images everywhere on the background.

Change the webui font to Comic Sans except set the letter h as Times New Roman.

Make everything pink, yellow and bright green so that copyright trolls manually viewing the site can’t see anything without being attacked by awful colours.

Do what your heart desires, db0. Embrace chaos, or don’t.

Not sure why people are surprised about AI images. You and this server have been using them for a while now. And many of your tools (e.g. Overseer) imo are great uses of AI.

Rentlar ,

No, you can “borrow” them and when you don’t give it back, just ask to put it on your tab as a representative of Uncle Sam. Or something like that.

@asklemmy What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?

Rentlar ,

As your local blundering idiot, I disagree.

Rentlar ,

Someone should make a comprehensive, easy to follow guide to Lemmy with the latest info and apps, and share it to Reddit including their r/lemmy. Same with Mastodon.

I’ve sworn off of Reddit unfortunately so I’m not going to post, but maybe if I make something I can ask someone to share it there for me?

Rentlar ,

It’s OK, it what I call… sharing your drink with the floor.

Rentlar ,

I was under the impression that they had fully shelved PvE for OW2. They basically lied and released the same game with a few tweaks to the match format. Was there actually any hope for even a pared-down co-op mode?

Rentlar ,

What’s even good about Bedrock edition? Been playing since the 1.7.x days, and Java edition has been consistently superior in my view. If nothing else, it’s better because the table with the floating book is called the Enchanting Table.

Rentlar ,

Smells like Spring Break in Florida.

Rentlar ,

Well, a quick reminder that Lemmy.world is not all of Lemmy. Nintendo, the RIAA, the MPA(A), and other lawsuit-blasting organizations would have to tackle every single Lemmy instance.

Sure, one threatening letter is all that’s needed to scare most server operators, but since there are a large variety of hosts located in jurisdictions around the world, it’s not as simple as taking out the big player like it might be for Reddit.

Rentlar ,

Transparency is there in the sense that the modlog makes clear that a lemmy.world admin blocked the community. If it were Reddit we’d never know how, just that it is blocked.

Rentlar ,

I’m aware of this broken promise. My comment is speaking specifically on a limited technical basis when comparing it to Reddit, which is what I mean by “in a sense”. I hope this clarifies it for you.

Rentlar ,

As time goes on, more people are going to start wondering why a video has warping video and sound effects added to a sped up or reversed video.

Rentlar ,

Oh boy, it’s happening! And sooner than I thought it would be!

Unions often wait for more than 50% of employees to voice support for a union before filing for a vote. Once the election process starts, management often holds mandatory meetings with staff to make the case against union representation, and that convinces some earlier supporters of the union to end their support.

This is why the Canadian province of British Columbia changed its laws in 2022 to card-check (single-step) certification which does away completely the need to have an election once 55% opt-in.

Rentlar ,

The influx of Steam users into our country would be a great day for Canada, and therefore the world.

Rentlar ,

We’ll see if Easy Anti Cheat’s statement is true in due time…

What I can say is clearly Easy Anti Cheat doesn’t stop other people cheating for someone.

Employees at Respawn started to be notified of layoffs at the end of last week, with the Apex Legends team in particular being affected. The layoffs are part of the 670 job cuts EA announced in February by boss Andrew Wilson.

At least a few of these people are the ones who would be able to find and properly fix the vulnerabilities within Apex Legends.

Rentlar ,

The camps from this plan will make 1930s Hoovervilles look like luxury estates in comparison.

Rentlar ,

This reads like a shitpost. The math is eh, okay, but the explanations are totally wrong. I won’t even try to figure out what “runs off watts” means.

Enough of any electricity source, using various converters can get any appliance working “technically speaking”, but in the end the amount of energy available at the source and the rate of consumption at the end and any intermediates. So “technically” an AA battery can power an industrial electric press, but only for a fraction of a microsecond, using a lot of charge storing infrastructure and with a lot of changes to get the tiny bit of DC into the machine requires to operate, likely 3 phase AC power.

A proper explanation would say a lead-acid car battery provides power at around 12V and electric camping fridges nominally operate around 12V so you can connect them directly and operate it (so you can sorta say they both run off DC volts?). If not you would need a buck or boost converter. The available energy of the battery (Watt-hours is a useful unit here) and the consumption rate (in Watts) of the fridge determine how long you can use it on the battery.

Rentlar ,

Saying “your fridge will run for 14400 seconds” isn’t very intuitive for people unfortunately…
