What is it with corporations just buying stuff up for excessive amounts of money and then firing a bunch of people?

Unity spent $1.6 billion on Weta Digital and then did absolutely nothing with it, fired most of the Weta people, and are now doing mass lay offs. What’s the point? Why buy it all if it’s just going to be shut down and then fire people?

And piracy sites.

That’s an actual nightmare

Not that there’s anything wrong with newpipe, just additional information:

Sponsor block is now avaliable on Firefox mobile app. It even works for YouTube videos that are embedded in other sites.

eBay restricted my account permanently and won't help me with it

I’m a casual eBay user. On rare occasions, I will sell household items when I no longer use them. Well, I went to sell my Nintendo Switch on eBay and found out my account has been restricted indefinitely selling. When I tried chat with the customer service agent, they provided a name of some entity that I don’t recognize in...

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

I had my ebay account restricted the same day I made it. Was really confused and frustrated as I had made the account to buy something

So I just made another account with my same email address just without any periods, have had that account for years. Still no idea why I was restricted at all the first time and not the second…

Gin? Genetics? Giant?

Do you pronounce Origin like Oregon?

I personally find arguing pronunciation as entirely pointless when there are many words in English that get pronounced different based on a multitude of factors.

People also like to argue it’s an acronym, but do you pronounce NASA the same as you pronounce the first letter of each word of National Aeronautics and Space Administration?

Honestly? Just say it how it makes sense to you.

Overdraft fees could drop to as low as $3 under new Biden proposal (apnews.com)

The cost to overdraw a bank account could drop to as little as $3 under a proposal announced by the White House, the latest effort by the Biden administration to combat fees it says pose an unnecessary burden on American consumers, particularly those living paycheck to paycheck....

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

My sister has an almost identical story with that bank.

“Hows your mental focus?”

“Oh its focused. I says it’s, uh, I thinks it’s, uh, I - I haven’t - look. I have trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself, even to my own head the number of years. I no more think of myself as as being as old as I am than fly. I mean it’s just not, err, uh. I haven’t observed anything in terms of - there’s not things I don’t now that I did before”

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off (www.ign.com)

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get ‘Comfortable’ Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off::An executive at Assassin’s Creed maker Ubisoft has said gamers will need to get “comfortable” not owning their games before video game subscriptions truly take off.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

My argument against this is that at least I own a license to the game rather than just a subscription. Steam still has and updates games that were made unpurchasable a decade ago. Hell, people still play rocket league on steam.

This is a separate argument altogether. Theres “own physically” and theres “own a license” to. If you own it physically and your physical media corrupts (which happens often to digital discs) did you own it any more than if you had it on steam? It’s also illegal to make a copy of a console disc, btw.

What the article is talking about is not even obtaining a license for at all and games just being attached to a subscription

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

100% this. Agents of the state want to feel like agents of the state. They get excited at the opportunity.

We need police reform.

I mean

The Bush family rigged W’s election against AI Gore. Why did that get swept under the rug?

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

Personally, I find it no different than how there are multiple websites and multiple forums on the internet. Reddit, stack exchange, other types of forums dedicated to specific topics, etc

You DONT need the “best” source of content, you don’t need to be connected to everyone, you don’t need to have access to all information all the time.

I was just talking about that movie a few days ago

It started off alright, I was thinking “damn is this really a Michael Bay movie?”. It seemed like it wanted to ponder on the human condition and maybe do a bit of 1984-esque discussion on human rights, etc. Philosophical stuff that Bay isn’t known for

Then a big green Xbox advertisement, suddenly there are explosions and the people who have never even seen a car or motorcycle are doing high speed chases on the highway, so much action, etc.

It was such a jarring turn of events that it actually felt like the two parts of the films were made by two different people

Was this article AI generated?

It would change who the sentence is saying spoke the Inside Edition

I think it’s one of those things to purposely craft a point of engagement. Now you’ve made a comment about it

I’ve been seeing a lot of morrowind references recently

You can play it on your phone now days, woth mods even

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug OP ,

I’ve looked into Code Server, which is a github project I’ve found for self hosting VS Code, but it only works on Linux

Are you saying VS Code itself has a built in self hostable option?

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug OP ,

Ah, I missed this somehow when digging through the git page

Thank you

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

That’s not the take away you should be having here, it’s that a mega Corp felt that they should be allowed to create new content from someone else’s work, both without their permission and without paying

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

Meta stealing intellectual property and utilizing it for corporate gain is not the same as normal users pirating content. They are so far apart that it warrants its own discussion and cannot be lumped in together.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

And that’s the issue I in particular have. It’s a double standard and not only that, they’re using it to generate money for their own tools

It’s not the same as some kid pirating photoshop to play around with, or a couple who is curious about GOT and want to watch it without paying HBO.

This is a separate issue and I hate that this place is so reddit like that trying to talk about it gets “hurrr dur I guess you’re mad because AI and meta are just the current hate train circle jerk hurrr i form my own opinions hurr”

Like, no, I’m upset because this is a whole new topic of piracy use.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

I really have to thank you for an educated response

Marijuana meets criteria for reclassification as lower-risk drug, FDA scientific review finds (www.cnn.com)

Marijuana has a lower potential for abuse than other drugs that are subjected to the same restrictions, with scientific support for its use as a medical treatment, researchers from the US Food and Drug Administration say in documents supporting its reclassification as a Schedule III substance....

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

This is the politician way.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

That was implied, yeah

I remember when Fox News got called out for reusing migrant caravan footage for several years in a row but saying they were all different caravans

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

How many of your devices actually support this?

My comment was more a rebuke at the headline than the article

Why would we have eyes on something that won’t be reasonably useful for years?

"Formerly known as GameShark, AI Shark is set to redefine the gaming landscape with its revolutionary AI-enhanced technology,”

Also the date has been “debunked” as “just a guess” by ai shark.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

Dude so many of you are just fucking incapable of seeing it as a joke, it’s supposed to make you chuckle, not go “well actshually”. This isn’t a legitimate argument, this isn’t something scientific article, just fucking chuckle or don’t, ffs

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug ,

The guys making $32 a day on Chinese ships don’t get paid enough to care, that’s why it’s so easy to smuggle stuff to begin with.

It weird to think just how much prominent internet culture originated on 4chan in the earlier days of memes

I refuse participate in credit. I’ve never checked my credit score, I have never been in debt to a corporation. All of my debt as been to individuals.

Whenever I talk to other about this to other people they just keep pushing the idea that I should know my credit score “just in case” (despite the fact I own my home already, bought it on owner finance) and then go on a speech about how I should get a credit card and and use it and pay it off every month to build my credit slowly over time.

I 100% understand that my individual situation, having bought a car by paying it over a few months, and buying a house on owner finance directly from an individual, aren’t solutions that just anyone can use and it requires a great deal of luck, which is not the point of my comment. My point is that so many people think credit debt is actually necessary, that it’s required. They keep trying to sell me on the idea, but I just don’t see it. I don’t want to be in debt for 30 years to buy another home, I have 0 fucking interest in that. And yet, I’ve had at least 10 instances where someone tries to sell me on the idea of credit like its a DARE style anti Marijuana video from 2005.

I mean, no fucking wonder houses cost so much (and by extension, rent). It’s not the fault of those in debt, it’s the fault of the system who convinced them they NEEEED to be in debt.
