Because touch screens are cheap and put the onus of design onto the programmers of apps.

The Red Dwarf bit on this is great

Stark made the suit with no help. He doesn’t need a specific suit because he has the skill to invent whatever he may need.

At this point, Peter can’t make himself a suit like that, so if he is nothing without it, he can’t respect the power it brings. But he isn’t nothing without it, which is what Stark is trying to teach him: not to rely on power of others.

Self host and buy the albums

If Amazon didn’t pick up The Expanse it would’ve been cancelled at the point it was. I haven’t read the books, so I can’t say how well/poorly they followed the source material, but I enjoyed that it got the extra seasons.

I’ve never heard an ad mid-sentence. Surely that’s an error on the podcasters side. Don’t they have to mark the timecodes for ad placements?

New tab tools.

You can even do a trick to make it your home tab

I plan to live forever or die trying

You agree to the licence terms when you purchase the software. If you disagree, don’t buy it.

Or just re-enter the story from a different point of view. The SGC sends another team to Destiny, we join whatever is left of the old crew, and they spend some of the first episode talking about the stuff that happened off-screen during the time gap.

What is this based on? It sounds like something that would be against even the most basic licence terms.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I’m asking about whether the concept of “you are allowed to play pirated games if you own a physical copy of it” is based on any legal truth.

I’m aware that the emulators are largely completely legal as long as they don’t package console bios’ with it. That’s why you have to go find a pirate bios to make your emulator run

Do you have anything to back that up? Or is it just “trust me bro” that kind of proves my point?

Did that claim have any actual grounding in reality? Or is it just an urban legend that keeps persisting?

The ones that pay are the ones running the ads. If the content creators have to pay, they will be the ones doing ads. This is how AV content has worked since the dawn of broadcast radio.

If you’re good at what you do, it’s not hard at all. Doesn’t even feel like work. The one thing it takes from you is time. Long long days, time away from family. It’s wonderful but it’s a doozy of a price you pay

That spelling really changes the vibe

So, just like FFXIV?

You are conflating copyright and patents. Copyright is protection for the expression of an idea, like the art design. This is a patent issue, which is a protection of how something works.

If somehow I patent a vague mechanic like “a method of selecting weapons with the directions of an analogue stick or mouse, presented as an 8 direction on screen circle.” Then I could sue Red Dead Redemption and Batman Arkham, despite there being no copyright infringement with whatever game I made with that feature.

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times!?
