Believe it or not, “It’s only illegal if you get caught” isn’t how copyright works.

Microsoft actually was going to allow that starting with the Xbox One.

IIRC, the way they were going to implement it would be to make a license transferrable X times a year. They were also going to allow free sharing of digital games to friends that had been on your friends list for at least 30 days.

But then people freaked out over it when they showed it off at the Xbox One reveal due to the fact that digitally-purchased games would have always-online requirements to keep people from duplicating games by installing them, disconnecting from the internet, then logging in elsewhere and sharing the game with a friend.

So after the backlash they pulled the plan. And that really stinks because they still have always-online requirements for digital games. You just can’t sell or share them now.

Yes, but you can’t use their assets to make other games or products.

You can add whatever you want to Skyrim, but you can’t add Skrim to whatever you like.

I’ve enjoyed my VR but rarely. When I game, I’m usually doing it to relax. Getting everything up and running, clearing space, etc so I can wear a device that makes my face sweat while I thrash about isn’t relaxing.

VR is the gaming equivalent of going to a fancy restaurant with a formal dress code. It’s nice once in a while, but most of the time I’d rather just make a sandwich and stay in.

Even worse - they knew full-well that it was a medical office by the point this happened. He was just poking around the expensive shit when he lost his gun.

And then he burned probably millions of dollars when he pushed the purge button.

If the city is also the utility provider it’s stupidly easy.

I’d eat a hundred well-done steaks from Denny’s topped with ketchup if it meant we didn’t have to deal with Trump again.

I just add 1 to the number at the end of my password every time they force a change.

I’m on 18 right now.

Last time I went to one (2020), the shelves were 80% empty, and what they had was mostly karaoke machines on consignment sale.

It was super depressing.

Let’s just say I have an office job and still manage to drive 35,000 miles a year.

Let’s not be too hard on them. They have a rich history of working all over the world in a variety of roles.

After all, what other company can you name that helped operate Japanese internment camps in America and Nazi Concentration camps at the same time?

They’re making islands the size of continents out of trash!

They made a chemical that will prevent Covid in most cases, and Corporations are trying to keep from paying for it!

When was the last time you had to pull over because of all the bugs hitting your windshield? They’re killing all the insects just so they can have your money!

As much as I love them, I’d love to see it keep the same tone to attract the crazy conspiracy-theorists, then poison their minds with factual information presented as if it was deep-state conspiracy revealing secret knowledge.

Want to know the best part?

Federal judges aren’t required to be attorneys, so even if she’s disbarred she gets to keep her appointment as long as the Republicans refuse to impeach and convict her.

They’re trying to argue that an EULA isn’t binding because they can’t sign away their rights, and thats legally incorrect in this case.

Recognizing reality is different than endorsing it.

And that’s the one we can refuse to buy.

But let’s be honest - people won’t. They’ll buy it in record numbers - just not on Linux.

What rights?

You’re buying a license to play a game. Rockstar is not obligated to ensure it’s available to you indefinitely.

They implemented this 10 years after the game’s release. It’s harder to vote with your wallet at that point.

Government employees providing government services have to provide them to everyone. It isn’t a private business where you can just refuse service because you don’t like someone or their message.

What if the postal worker thinks abortion is murder. Should they be allowed to refuse to deliver mail for Planned Parenthood or the ACLU?

If a county clerk is opposed to homosexuality should they be allowed to refuse to issue a marriage license to a gay couple?

Motherfucker I work in development. Telling someone they can’t have their pool equipment pad in the side setback or that front-yard fences have to be 80% transparent isn’t exactly sending them to the gas chamber.
