He wrote and directed that quarter of it, so it counts in my books, but I hear you on the OP’s list.

I disagree on the order, but you forgot Four Room (Penthouse – “The Man from Hollywood”).

- Comment on Top EU Court’s Advisor Explains Why Video Game Cheats Are Not Copyright Infringement 2 months ago:
Computers work with 1s and 0s. We have decided as a society that certain combinations of those equate to being copywritable. This ruling seems to be saying the result of a calculation cannot be copywritable? Wouldn’t creative tools like movie editor or photoeditor disagree? So then is the ruling actually saying these specific values used in this instance are not copywritable, changing the health to 100 for e.g., because there is no human creativity in the result of that value?
So if a programmer used an original work of art to define the state of health in the actual code, and verified the value matches the 1s and 0s that represent that work of art (thus it only ever comes down to boolean check in the logic side, and the value of the variable is never set to something simple like 0 to 100, it was using a huge amount of RAM and a very slow comparator operator.
Yea, I went there.

I’m not explaining it properly. Imagine instead of 100 hp, there is apple bananas. That isn’t really a mathematic representation in the same way that the cheat code can change. It would be a copyrighted work of art. It wouldn’t be trivial to build an hp system to do this (in fact it would be a large undertaking), but I am not asking about practicality, just what the law would find.
- Comment on Top EU Court’s Advisor Explains Why Video Game Cheats Are Not Copyright Infringement 2 months ago:
I mean what if you didn’t use 20/100 for the value, you used a symbol (in the code as the value). Would it still apply?
- Comment on Top EU Court’s Advisor Explains Why Video Game Cheats Are Not Copyright Infringement 2 months ago:
What if the health values are human creations like special symbols or works of creative art?

I went to physical media (legally acquired) and spent countless hours format shifting to self host (Jellyfin) and never looking back. At this point if I can’t buy it, I don’t watch it.

Probably the “but”. I agree that both are exploitive and they should all be called out on it.

- Comment on Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? 5 months ago:
Cell to Singularity is a great little mobile game that does have microtransactions but are easy to ignore/avoid. I played through it several times and may need to dust it off for another playthrough. Great music too.

Honestly why didn’t EU include all mobile device operating systems or just all operating systems with greater than some number of users?

- Comment on Microsoft’s VASA-1 can deepfake a person with one photo and one audio track 7 months ago:
Entertainment might be pointless to some. I dream of having an on-demand Netflix that will generate whatever type of content I can imagine on demand, or better yet already know my preferences and all I have to do is tell it my mood and it will start playing something I would like.
- Comment on Microsoft’s VASA-1 can deepfake a person with one photo and one audio track 7 months ago:
Other than the obvious malicious uses of this technology, it could be great for multimedia, great for creative control for cast, great for virtual meetings to always look “your best” (as determined by each individual, e.g. clean-cut pristine, and/or preferred gender, and/or favorite anime, etc.). There are also use cases to hear letters spoken by a lost loved one, or replace the Three Stooges with politicians. Tons of “safe” use cases that I am looking forward to.

According to Le Chat,
The author you’re thinking of is Neal Stephenson, and the book is “Snow Crash” published in 1992. In the book, he coined the term “ractors” for actors who perform in front of motion-capture cameras to create lifelike animations. He also predicted the use of CGI and AI in filmmaking to create movies with long-dead actors.

That seems like a crutch instead of a real feature. I have even just thinking about having to manage that. What if you want info from sites you do not already know about? Seems like finding new things through search is basically dead anymore.
