- Comment on You Pay For It, We Own It - Sony's $7.9B Lawsuit 1 day ago:
You speak of copyright infringement. Some people call it IP theft but in reality it has nothing to do with stealing in the traditional sense of the word (such as stealing a bicycle). You can’t actually steal something that’s still there after you “take it.”
- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 1 week ago:
I asked my coworkers who are mostly black and Puerto Rican (some of them even converted to Islam; none of them seem like atheists). They all agree that Trump will abolish taxes on overtime and forced child support (they swore that they would still pay for what their children actually need; I guess I gave them a “look”). Honestly, I couldn’t find a real source of Trump even promising these things. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was made up on social media.
It seems that many non-white urban folks voted for Trump. It seems most people just want a promise of food and shelter if they put in the work (people are working so many hours now). There’s probably a logical reason why neither party has a platform anymore.
- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour 4 weeks ago:
I was thinking more of uninstalling this 81 GB/hour game and enrolling in flight school (if you have data cap overage fees). But I like the way you think!

If you have small data caps, it may even be cheaper.
- Comment on Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked 4 weeks ago:
@smeg@feddit.uk showed me where I was confused. I thought YOU were calling this a moral issue; I just understood your comment wrong.
I am well aware of how Nintendo treats emulator devs, game modders, organizations that make better games in the same genre, and full blown ROM distribution websites exactly the same even though only one of these groups of people are breaking any laws.
- Comment on Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked 4 weeks ago:
Thank you for clearing up my confusion. I felt I missed something. (Also, I didn’t post that, I was just confused by the one who replied to it.)

What did I get flipped?
- Comment on Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked 5 weeks ago:
No, if more than two people are mad at something, it’s because of the hive mind or Russian trolls.
- Comment on Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked 5 weeks ago:
The wider Youtube community is pretty upset Nintendo is trying to get rid of Palworld.
- Comment on Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked 5 weeks ago:
Why wouldn’t torrenting the source code of proprietary software would be a legal issue? I don’t care of you do it but I’m curious why you only think it’s a moral issue.
- Comment on Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc. 1 month ago:
I own Temtem. I also love Dragon Quest and its side games. Pokemon was very inspired by those games.
- Comment on Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc. 1 month ago:
We’re saltly because all of these rich people truly got to skirt copyright laws while regular people got in trouble for “digesting the same digital bits.” They even get to resell any work that has been processed and mixed with other works as long as it comes from their AI…
- Comment on Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc. 1 month ago:
If Temtem is a Pokemon ripoff then Pokemon is a Dragon Quest V ripoff. All these games involve collecting monsters through battle. Can anyone really patent “monster catching RPG?”
- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 2 months ago:
Yes, those websites have Trump content as well but is it a majority of the front page?
- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 2 months ago:
Lemmy pulled a CNN. Basically, all Trump news again.
- Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit? 2 months ago:
No company owns every single Lemmy instance. That’s the only guarantee you are getting; however, that’s where all of the tiny differences come from.
- Comment on I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. 4 months ago:
I don’t do photo editing (Gimp) or drawing (Krita) but I have followed many aggregated blogs such as Planet KDE, etc over the years.
I got the feeling that most people have a hard time moving or transiting to Gimp. I have seen some posts from people who love Gimp but they seem to be a miniority. On the other hand, I got the feeling the drawing community love Krita and think it’s worth learning. Krita even shows up in unexpected places such as Godot tutorials on YouTube.

- Comment on Windows 10 and its shortage of "Never shove this screen in my face again" buttons 7 months ago:
At this point the EU should just set a timer for complaining that Microsoft uses Windows’ large market share to force services on their users. I do like efficienct governments.
- Comment on Steam :: Introducing Steam Families 7 months ago:
I understand now and that does make sense. No point in undercutting your competition if you can’t pass those savings to the customers.
- Comment on Steam :: Introducing Steam Families 7 months ago:
Doesn’t Amazon do this with every product?
- Comment on Steam :: Introducing Steam Families 7 months ago:
Epic gives me free games and I still don’t like them… The “problem” is Valve is Steam-rolling the competition because people want to give them money.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 10 months ago:
Valve is viewed in an extremely favorable light in the PC world (and Valve deserves it). Therefore plenty of gamers take Epic throwing around their Fortnite money to get exclusively for their barebones launcher and game store very personally.
- Comment on Restaurant Bill 11 months ago:
It actually makes me realize that I should ask for the service fee ahead of time to merge due I can afford to eat at such restaurant.
That’s what a service fee does. Hides the true prices.
- Comment on Gen Z is forcing a workplace reckoning that should have happened years ago 1 year ago:
Works fine for me. I use uBlock Origin on FIrefox.
- Comment on What games have the best mining/smelting/forging components? 1 year ago:
The only one I liked is the Monster Hunter series.

Hopefully we see this with more FOSS going forward.

Perhaps it is time for big companies to start funding Godot?
- Comment on Introducing the Epic First Run program 1 year ago:
Darn… There goes my evil plans.
- Comment on Introducing the Epic First Run program 1 year ago:
It’s a win win for everyone I care about. Developers get 100% of their revenue, Valve gets competition, and we can download those games over and over so Epic pays for outrageous server costs with no profit in sight.
