A lot of companies have been trying to sue them and are trying to tarnish their name in any way possible because their case is already shaky at best. The whole "monopoly" thing despite competition existing and Valve only being on top because they're the best feature wise stuff.

Sorry you're being downvotted by the misinformed. It's not even in the format for ChatGPT, especially the part about being out of tokens. It's been pointed out already that that is psuedo-code, not actual code. It's meant to look like something ChatGPT would say.

It's a troll/ragebait account.

This isn't news. At all. This is basically reporting on "the hacker known as 4Chan".

Ummm.... If you own the game, making backups is perfectly legal. This isn't piracy, this is hacking. I agree that most movie and game downloading IS PIRACY. This is not. It's piracy if someone rips the files and distributes it. If they rip it for themselves, it's not.

So yeah, it actually is a murky area here. You'd be going after everyone under the assumption of illegal activity vs actually targeting those commiting piracy.

So if you don't have any records then you can't prove it was done properly and the assumption should be on the fault of Boeing.

As a custodian who is often treated like I might as well be invisible, this can absolutely happen. Those who show even the tiniest bit of respect to us are often the only ones and it is greatly appreciated.

Some dude was ranting somewhere recently about GitHub and "I just want the damn exe, not a bunch of stupid code". It became a bit of a meme.

I'm so sick of this revisionist bs. Plenty of us were outraged then and warned of EXACTLY this. Y'all reaped what you sowed. Now micro transactions and paid early access are the norm. We screamed and yelled to "vote with your wallets", and by god, you did. "It's just a few bucks" is the most common one I hear. Well, now EVERYTHING is "just a few bucks".

You won.

A whole bunch of you never went to quirky toy shops as a kid where this was the norm. They know EXACTLY what these are. The whole story and mystery is just to excite kids into buying a 5¢ piece of plastic. It's even hinted at in the story(they make a funny noise). Someone did correctly point out that these are just a musical instrument, played by swinging them around.

As it stands now, you can download all of Wikipedia for offline viewing. It's not restricted in any way. And since Wikipedia is looking for objective truth, not opinions, I'm not sure what benefit federation would do. You want it centralized, not broken up. What happens when two instances decide that their version is the only correct one?

I just don't see any benefit. This feels like when everyone was slapping "blockchain" on things because it was the current buzzword. What is Wikipedia failing at currently that decentralizing it would make better?

What's also nice is that due to the lower amount of users, when you do find these people who can never take anything seriously and just spam, blocking them instantly cleans up your comment sections all over the place.

I'm all for jokes, but they get to be too much. I'm so sick of reading a long "history" of something that ends with "Source: I made it all up". Especially when it's in an informational community. I've been somewhat liberal with my block usage and it has improved things greatly.

Also consider blocking people who mass post dozens of articles all at once but don't comment. They tend to flood communities with posts that don't get much response and are no better than the bot reposting accounts. Especially when they post the same link to 5 different communities and it's all that shows in your feed.

Bed sores are caused more by lack of care than long hair. It's an excuse. A properly attended person won't have an increased risk from long hair. If it was truly a concern, it could be put up in a bun/ponytail etc.

This is the same Israel with their elite mossad forces, yes? "Meat shields" are a poor excuse for indiscriminately bombing a city block when you have elite spec ops units. They don't do it because they have no other choice, they do it as a threatening show of force. "Fuck with us and we'll kill anyone even near you".

There's a middle ground that doesn't involve slaughtering innocents.
