Plagiarism is obviously a word with very strong negative connotations. If you want to discuss the technology and it's differences between a different solution that tries to solve the same problem and not accuse someone of stealing, it's usually best not to use this type of language in general.
I think the best solution is to sell monster energy drinks that the players would have to chug to prove they're real gamers.
Funny thing is that Threads is the new player who is currently dominating the microblogging market while Twitter is just watching. Technically speaking, Twitter is the one being "cucked" here.
It doesn't really matter though. It will take away jobs from people in creative industries that only creative people were able to do before. The end result is basically the same.
I'd love for something like a watchmaker simulator to exist. You'd get broken watches, and you'd be tasked to take them apart, clean them and fix them up. Basically, something very similar to those almost ASMR videos on youtube where someone restores those completely broken things into a pristine state.
Wouldn't the unfair advantage only hold water if they blocked unauthorized accessories only with online multi-player games and leave single-player experiences alone?
Yeah, I've read around their documentation and they have a pretty compelling reason why one should prefer search engines where you directly pay to the search provider instead of relying on third parties such as advertisers to pay for your search usage.
I pay for premium.
I spend like 20x time on YouTube compared to other premium streaming services, knowing the money at least partially goes to the creators and that it's usually a much larger source of revenue than the midroll ads (and the fact I spend like 40% of my watch time on an iPad) makes it pretty worth it to me. Other than that I use uBlock on medium/high, but if there was an extention that could skip the sponsor segments inside the videos themselves I'd use it in a heartbeat.
They have open sourced their client software and libraries, but the core of what they provide is closed source software that runs on their servers.
Copyright doesn't apply just to stuff copied verbatim though, it applies to a lot more. It really doesn't matter if it is or isn't stored verbatim. Translations and derivative works are not exact copies and still fall under copyright. Copyright even applies to broad things such as "a concept of a character" and this can result in some pretty strange arguments some copyright holders might use, such as "Sherlock Holmes that doesn't smile is public domain, but Sherlock Holmes who shows emotion is copyright infringement" as described here.
It doesn't matter if an exact copy of the book was made. It matters if the core information that book carried was taken as a whole and used elsewhere. And even though the data was transformed as statistical information, the information is still there in that model. The model itself is basically just an "unauthorized translation" of hundreds of thousands of works into a very esoteric format.
The whole argument of "inspiration" is also misleading. Inspiration is purely a human trait. We're not talking about humans being inspired. We're talking about humans using copyrighted material to create a model, and about computers using that model to create content. Unless you'd argue that humans should be considered the same thing as machines in the eyes of the law, this argument simply doesn't work.
It's an expensive high end GameBoy clone, basically. It uses some specialized hardware (FPGA) to run original GB cartridges and can also run other retro consoles pretty well. It's a bit nicer than most other handheld emulator devices that are on the market right now, although it's limited in some other ways.
Not just that. Apple themselves beat Microsoft where they reverse engineered MS Office and played the cat and mouse game long enough that Microsoft released their office file format specifications publicly for everyone as a standardized format.
Most snes RPGs arguably aren't better for their length.
No one here says they have data that disproves it though?
Honestly I'm pretty sad even about the Bungie-Sony acquisition. I assume it was the first step in Sony refocusing to live service, with more than half of the SIE budget being allocated for them right now.
I mean you could describe basically every phone as this. iPhone is "just a regular phone with a locked down OS", foldables are "just regular phones with a flexible screen". Different people have different design sensibilities, to some this might be ideal.
Maybe it's because I'm not a native English speaker, but I also associate it with "behave" as well, which imo works with the goal of fostering a nice community.
Or allow you to accidentally skip cutscenes when you didn't mean to.
They're the "political cartoon" of gamers.
Hopefully this means backwards compatibility on digitally purchased titles. Would be silly if they still didn't have this figured out.
Because you didn’t make it. I’ll grant that western ideas about intellectual property are weird and inconsistent, but I’m taking it as a given that we hold that idea in common.
The right of the author is to be the one who decides who creates the copies, but it definitely isn't to decide who gets to use the copies in whichever way. Traditional libraries existed for millennia and honestly wouldn't be able to operate under this thinking.
When I was using Gnome on a laptop, I really enjoyed the PaperWM tiling manager extension. It's not exactly something that can be used with a mouse, but it's a really pleasant touchpad/touch first multitasking interface, where instead of having traditional workspaces that are constrained to the size of your monitor, you basically get infinite horizontally scrollable workspaces that are a joy to navigate with a touchpad.
Honestly these days it's much more difficult to find a good pirate copy compared to getting a working copy you pay for that yeah, if I put in the effort to pirate a game, I'm going to play it. Though I do enjoy having a really large steam library, so I usually just buy something just so it grows.
The free trial with a 100 searches makes it pretty easy to figure out how much you actually search online and if you're not a power user, that 300 searches plan is pretty OK. If you work in tech, that 10$ plan is definitely enough - in searching pretty much constantly and never got above the 800 searches the 10$ plan used to offer (now that plan has 1000 searches in it).
Beehaw doesn't have downvotes enabled. We try to be positive here.
It's a toy for people who are interested in hacking/pentesting. Sure, you can do everything it does with a phone, but without the toy like aspects.
Tbh you can do literally everything that a PC can with a phone. Doesn't mean that a phone is the most fun to use for whatever you're trying to use it for.
I really hope that Austin will make his voice heard a bit more even after ShillUp returns from his break. This seems like a pretty well reasoned review.
They're perfectly capable of running old games, they proved it times and times again. They just don't want them to be backwards compatible so you have to buy them again.
Going to live as a digital nomad. Living in my eBussy camper van, traveling with my Ducati Futa electric bike.
The edition that contains the physical goodies (watch, steelbook etc.) doesn't come with the disk but a digital download though. Honestly I never understood why they'd ship a steelbook without the physical game, but it's pretty common these days.
It's not "just you", but it's simply burnout from the genres you play these days. A lot of people experience it from time to time. Either stop playing for a while, or expand your scope to different genres. Not only are some amazing indies coming out all the time, but you'll also find incredible older games that way.
I really enjoyed Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon. It's on PC and consoles, but if you have Netflix on your phone you can play it there as well.
I really enjoyed the BT stealth sections, but the sections with MULEs or Terrorists never really felt that stealth wast the best approach there, mainly because of the level design just being so open.
It's called War Remains, and it's basically just a 15 minute VR experience without any real interactive elements. Works really well as a complementary piece to Hardcore History though.
There's Alyx. Other than that, not really.
There's a lot of games that do come close though, but never really reach the full potential and kind of still do feel either like proof of concept demos (Lone Echo, Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners), are just a very simplified arcade experience (Beat Saber), sims (which do work great in VR), or ports of non-VR games that can't by definition fully utilize the full potential of the platform, even with hand tracking added in.
Brave is based on Chromium, not Firefox.
Dual screen was a great feature with a handheld with two tiny screens. They tried it with WiiU on the home console and it was a massive failure. The Switch maybe doesn't have dual screens, but the single screen is bigger than even the 3ds screens combined and they managed to port almost all WiiU exclusives to it with minimum loss of functionality.
Maybe the revolutionary feature was the added screen real estate the dual screens allowed for instead of there just being two screens.
Open https://wefwef.app in your mobile browser, open the share slid out menu or however that menu is called and click on "add to home screen". That's it.
I really can't stress how good PaperWM is in combination with a touchpad. I wouldn't recommend it at all on a mouse-only environment, but when you can use multitouch gestures to scroll through the workspace it works really well.
That's because Mastodon doesn't have direct messages. It is not a chat platform. You can bend the privacy settings to publish posts similarly to DMs, but no one should use it as such.
