People generally don’t want to make games free because often 99% of what makes a game good is not the software aspect. People like games for interesting mechanics, story, art, and music. Those aren’t things that generally haven’t worked well being free and open

FOSS generally works because people use foss to create end products, and have an incentive to contribute because it benefits them financially (and the side effects is that it benefits others too).

Making a game FOSS rarely benefits the creators since it is the end product, even if it benefits the game or community.

There are cases where it works though, such as rhythm games, where the end product requires immense collaboration, but those often exist on the borderline of acceptability (due to copyrighted music use) and they end up with a need to be foss since licensing 10,000 songs is basically impossible.

(Shout out Quaver)

It’s a combination.

Most captchas goals generally aren’t 100% prevention, it’s to put a workload in front, this makes spamming the site cost money, a bankrolled attempt could just as easily outsource the captchas to real humans.

DNS sinks can often cause elevated traffic numbers because the client is constantly failing and retrying.

I bet if you enabled it to test the numbers would drop dramatically.

So an HDMI connected device that is streaming Netflix is getting screenshot?

I mean, even if it wasn’t a streaming service, but let’s say, video game content, or a blu ray, that is still a violation, and of course, if I’m playing content I made, then it’s violating my copyright.

While trading in general is zero sum, if you believe the product you’re trading has intrinsic value, then no one needs to be holding a bag.

If I sell you a car and you get to use the car, you wouldn’t be holding the bag, because you wanted the car. This applies to stocks, and stock derivatives, as well as commodities.

The problem arises when there isn’t an intrinsic value (or the intrinsic value is very small), such as with NFTs or many cryptos in general.

There are cryptos that have some intrinsic value like monero, since they have fungibility and a use case, but most do not.

Emulate?

The steam deck didn’t exist when the switch came out, it innovated and filled a niche that turned out to be a severely underserved segment of the gaming market.

Nintendo struck gold with the switch, and a ‘switch 2’ likely isn’t going to cut it.

It’s not like Nintendo is infallible, remember the console before the switch was the Wii u.

If your video can be replaced by a title, it probably wasn’t with watching

Tbh I wrote that comment moments after waking up with my eyes barely open.

So it’s HLE?

I hate writing and reading xml compared to json, I don’t really care if one is slightly leaner than the other. If your concern is the size or speed you should probably be rethinking how you serialize the data anyway (orotobuff/DB)

No I don’t, care to share?

Facebook’s Shadow profile on you doesn’t care whether you have an account or visited their site.

I don’t understand why you think I, someone advocating against pet ownership, would be for dog food?

Why do you keep animals shackled in your home, perform surgeries on them, remove their agency.

Having a pet at all is antithetical to vegan ideology, and making a decision about their diet (without their consent, because animals can’t consent) is exactly what you are attacking others for.

Don’t want to feed a cat meat? Easy solution, don’t have it as a pet, it’s not your choice to make in the first place.

Yea and that’s more than half of the cars driven in the United States.

I mean, how do you think websites work? Of course your mouse and keyboard events are available, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to interact with a website at all.

Esdf requires more dexterity and is generally less accessible.

I’m an idiot and misunderstood which key bind was being talked about

Zeitgeist could refer to the past though.

Nirvana was part of the zeitgeist of the 90s.

PGP can also do that, properly implemented, a PGP key with a large web of trust, can be just as effective at making immutable certified statements without having this weird cash based speech thing that crypto has going for it.

The fact that every single action you do with crypto involves spending money is ridiculous. I don’t mean the scams and stuff, I mean, every single thing, every transaction, every smart contract, every interaction, who wants to play around with a system that just pilfers your cash from you just for the privilege of exploring it.

At least with aws I can run code locally before they rob me.
