I disagree. Copyright is not bad.

What a dumb statement. Copyright has nothing to do with money. Copyright is for everyone.

The biggest problem with Ai is copyright.

I saw some permaban which does state its permanently deactivated, and not banned for a time limit.

That’s the 8 man (not sure about how many, but I think it was less than 10) helper team in the US which got laid off. They were only contracted and this is actually normal in the industry. Those articles are sensational. The main team in China is unaffected by this.

- Comment on Mozilla says its new Firefox terms don’t give it ownership of your data 3 weeks ago:
I also bookmarked the Librewolf Flatpak package. I consider to change my browser (Firefox) for the first time in 20 years or so, since its inception. I do not rely on the Mozilla account, so the switch should be easier for me. Passwords should be compatible I assume. In worst case you can export and import passwords.
- Comment on Mozilla says its new Firefox terms don’t give it ownership of your data 3 weeks ago:
They do not get ownership, but a license to do what they want with it. Giving a license does not change ownership, yes they are correct with this.
- Comment on Twitch’s new storage limits will purge huge swaths of Internet gaming history 4 weeks ago:
If they gave more time than just a few months, in example at least an entire year, then people could at least download those files before hand. Not sure how long this would take and how stressful this would be for their servers.
Is anyone actually surprised by this? How can you think Twitch is a longterm archive? Its like having backups on Microsoft or Adobe servers. Do not trust them and always have a backup plan! Not even YouTube is, because they deleted old unused accounts and therefore the associated videos. Not sure how far this gone though. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon/Twitch announces some premium service where all files will stay active if you pay a monthly fee.

A list of several boxarts for Suikoden: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/…/boxes
The PAL version uses the original art from Japanese release. I think it even improves on it by having a white background, which looks more classy to me: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/…/10236
- Comment on Marvel Rivals Director Shares That He And His Team Were Just Laid Off 5 weeks ago:
How many were laid off? Did they hire another people maybe? I would be careful with premature conclusions based on this single event. It would be hilarious if those laid off people go to work on Overwatch…

Given enough money, everything in the market is for sale. This is just a tactic to make the value higher.

As long as he does not make any money and it is not about a current gen game, its not as bad as you might think. He does not directly use assets from Nintendo, as everything is self created. The only thing in the way is, that he is using the IP (Intellectual Property) and names. But you know what, there are thousands of fan made games like that - ton of them even using assets directly ripped off Nintendo games, and they are not sued. People do this kind of thing since decades.

Well I’m not going into all posts I dont like and tell them that I’m not interested into. Do i? If you dont like post, dont click. Or do not use this sub forum. Because its not just for you.
- Comment on Marvel Rivals Version 20250214 Patch Notes - Steam News (February 12, 2025) 5 weeks ago:
Why do people click the post if they are not interested? The title says it all. And I don’t post update notes usually, its probably my first time here. I posted this because of some noteworthy thing about supporting a specific Linux distribution, as explained in my post.
- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says 5 weeks ago:
Paid subreddits. I mean look at the free to play live service games, how people like to buy stuff that not everyone has. We can laugh as much as we want and think how dumb this is. But people are dumber. It will drive away some people from Reddit, most won’t care and just stay using the “Free” stuff. Some will pay for the subreddits.
Maybe NSFW content or support subreddits for paying customers.

Game Crashes
While we are at it, the game crashes my system after some time. It was even worse a week ago, when every second game crashed. Its so bad that if it crashes, then I have to hold the physical button on my computer; which is obviously not healthy. It happens more often in competitive. I’m on a modern computer with AMD+AMD system, using EndeavourOS. Other people have issues too and they have other PC specs, even using Windows. So its hard to say what causes this issue. Here is one tracking issue for Proton: github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8300
