Nope! It just inexplicably sucks

I like how your pronouns are "equipped". Got you a pocket full of pronouns. DOn't you drop them, or nobody will be allowed to talk about you!

Not necessarily. All DRM punishes paying customers, but some also punishes pirates. Very few games with Denuvo ever get cracked, instead the publisher removes it after a while because Denuvo charges a license fee as long as its in your game. E.g. the Hatsune Miku game on steam hasn't been cracked in the two years it's been out. So there's an argument for using it, even if it's a flawed one.

But these games already went without DRM for years. They're long since cracked. The only purpose this DRM serves is to make it harder for paying customers to use mods. Not pirates, they can keep using the same mods they've always used. This is literally for the purpose of degrading the experience of paying customers. That's what they mean by "only punishes paying customers".

I still do. Phones can be turned to view it either way. Screens can't. I'm not gonna ask my bud to get up and rotate his living room TV 90 degrees so we can look at my vacation photos. Plus, until we learn to levitate with our minds, the plane humans interact is and will presumably remain much, much wider than it is tall, so landscape captures more of it.

I noticed my posts on Lemmy.world stopped showing up to my account from that instance, and looking back, it seems like nothing I've posted for the last 4 days has federated.

Personally, I'm crippled, so even getting to the front door is a process. If a driver calls me and says I need to come down, I tell them no shot, I paid you to bring it to my door, so either bring it to my door or refund it.

If drivers are not getting paid enough to bring deliveries to people's doors? That's a conversation for the drivers to have with the company. The company says they'll bring it to me, and I expect the service I pay for.

In the interest of saving anyone else falling for the clickbait, the "1 Way" in the headline is "don't let kids touch magnets"

I've heard Firefox's inbuilt tracking protection often trips whatever detection method they're using, and like, I'm not turning that off for Youtube.

TL;DR a company called Zuma is trying to replace school busses with a fleet of smaller vans for 5-10 kids at a time to increase efficiency. "Like Uber for kids". The routing software did not handle the addition of a new city well.

The suspects were identified earlier this month as a 38-year-old man named Zheng and a 55-year-old woman named Wang, both from the Chinese autonomous region of Inner Mongolia.

So after all this time, the Mongols finally breached the wall...

TL;DR He was arrested for uploading a recording of the entire VN two days before the game came out, which, being a visual novel, debatably cost them sales from people who just read his video instead of buying it. It's a bit like if someone filmed themselves turning the pages of a new Harry Potter book before the street date so everyone could read it.

Seems to me that it's less "uploaded lets plays" and more "posted game footage before the game release", and they nailed him for anything they could.

I don't think piracy should be punished, but like, if you're gonna do it, don't post video recordings of yourself doing it before the game comes out my guy.
