Or you’re out of ammo, more packed at the bottom, so you run and throw things out onto the ground to get to the box (the box is locked with a circle of tape that you need a knife or key to cut)
- Comment on I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title got stolen on Steam and they plan to release before I do. What should I do? 1 week ago:
I mean, large software developers are fighting over game mechanics, but they have salaried legal teams, and general need to “not look weak” in terms of protecting their IP. On your scale, I would only take sure-shots, such as protecting your IP’s name on basis of using it long before someone else.
Just in case, I’m not a legal specialist, but I have some general knowledge on this (some from uni, some from working in marketing agencies who create and develop brands, naming, copy, for others) - Comment on I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title got stolen on Steam and they plan to release before I do. What should I do? 1 week ago:
The trademark question is the strongest - the name can absolutely be protected, especially if there are multiple timestamps everywhere (you posting about it, git, steam, your assets with the game’s name, whatever).
If your game was in some developer’s area on Steam for a long time, just go and write to them right now, explaining the stolen name situation. If it’s not like this, the name issue can be resolved in court in your favour, and you have a case.
But speaking of the game mechanics, story, or anything like that, it’s hard or impossible to prove anything, so you can only rely on your game being better and attracting more people. You do what you do, and the “thief” will give up eventually - Comment on 1 week ago:
I’m a product manager in software development, and I’m vibecoding some stuff as a hobby (like i made chartsgoup.com/ because I’m trading stocks and I wanted a convenient tool for myself).
Usually working with Claude is like with a real developer - you ask to do something, it does the work, it’s almost alright, so you write a list of stuff to correct, check the result, correct again, etc, until it’s done.
With Fable it was suddenly like this: “Do this” - “Ok, done, and I also found problems in my initial code but they are also fixed.” So the majority of the usual back-and-forth was removed, the quality is really good. I am not sure if any random person is able to make a good app or web service now (experience is still needed to formulate your ideas, plan stuff, make decisions, etc), but it’s much closer to that. And it’s already answered that US govt thought that Fable is too good for non-americans, Anthropic couldn’t really make it work only for US citizens like that, so they shut it down until the situation clears up - Comment on 1 week ago:
Not sure how they did a rollout worldwide, but in Denmark I was offered to try it like 2 days before it got shut down. Just enough time to see how awesome it is :/

Claude managed to see the irony and compared the statement with “Chrisians secretly controlling Vatican”.
- Comment on Old Americans who voted for Trump(who fucked their health-insurance) after hearing that healthcare in Europe is free: 2 weeks ago:
Oh, if you mean taxes generally, than in Denmark, 36% of my money I never see on my account. And the healthcare is slow, and in some cases I would have to prove that I have problems, and no, painkillers and “walk more” don’t help. But if something serious will happen, yeah, I know I’m safe

- Comment on Masturbation among birds is ‘natural’ and should not be punished, say experts 3 weeks ago:
My parakeet was fucking a swing perch in his cage. It was hanging perpendicular to another perch, so he would grab the swings from the side and go on his rodeo.
But personality was important to him, so every 15 seconds he would run to another “floor” where he had a mirror, say his version of “oh baby yeah it feels so good, call me your bird!” and then would run back upstairs to continue - Comment on The Matrix 3 weeks ago:
The Matrix is a Rambo 3 remake. Living in a cave and eating slop is an allegory for shooting explosive arrows into a bridge.
Still worth it.

I also do that, so I thought that this is a meta meme about Ben Affleck not using AI (thus his laptop lid is shut), because he has all the muny already.

I mean, if you create any precedent of prosecuting someone over “bad words”, you are fucked long-term
- Comment on Should hate speech be protected under freedom of speech laws? 5 weeks ago:
Putin and his friends absolutely deserve to die. I’m not really killing anyone, but I can say that (well, outside of Russia, because freedom of speech doesn’t work there). Freedom of speech allows me to say how exactly I don’t like him and his gang.
Also, from reading about cases where people were jailed for something they have said - if it’s allowed to prosecute people for anything, somebody might try to mess with your words to make you look guilty. For example, the law regarding “rehabilitating nazism” was used to prosecute people who were saying something about USSR working with nazi Germany in the beginning of WW2, or similar. Examples (sorry, too long to type so It’s llm summaries:- A person in Perm was fined 200,000 rubles for sharing an article that mentioned the “joint attack on Poland by the USSR and Germany” in 1939, which the authorities portrayed as “rehabilitating Nazism.”
- A woman in Smolensk was fined for posting a historical photo of her home under Nazi occupation, where a Wehrmacht flag and soldiers appeared in the background.
So if you make a word or a concept “bad”, someone will try to use it maliciously, at some point. It doesn’t help when court is not independent, that opens up a road to charging many people you don’t like on daily basis.

Multiple crypto exchanges allow you to issue a card and pay for usual stuff. I don’t use one now because I don’t have savings in crypto, but I did buy groceries with BTC. They were actually traded to euros first at the moment of payment, but it didn’t require any additional steps from me.
