For the record, every game by that dev is incredible. One of them is still being worked on but should be finishing this year, and that one is free.

Quoting whitehouse.gov: "federal courts enjoy the sole power to interpret the law, determine the constitutionality of the law, and apply it to individual cases." The executive branch contains the police as well as the various other departments that investigate potential crimes and bring actions in court against those that commit said crimes.

Since this is the Internet and this sarcasm doesn't exist, the serious answer is that the court systems (ideally) do nothing but enforce laws. That is their job, they should be the primary organization doing that job, alongside the police sometimes, and they don't have any job aside from that.

Pretty sure early Netflix was competing with outright piracy, so they had to keep their prices down and their service convenient. Actually that is probably the best state for a digital market to be in, where there is a vibrant piracy community keeping companies honest with both their prices and services. ~~~_{Because fuck the law when all it does is fuck me.}~~~

It exists only as a consequence of two other requirements of the jury process. 1) jurors cannot be held accountable for any decision they make as a jury and 2) any not guilty verdict delivered by a jury is absolute and final.

What country does anon live in, where prison food and housing is free?

It helps a lot that that's revenue and not profit, so it ignores other expenses. Of course, I don't know how much that matters, but it is still enough to hurt.

That panel with the shadow of Saitama looming over the enemy ninjas is sick.

There probably are, but Saudi Arabia owns a bunch of land in Arizona and decided it was the perfect place to grow alfalfa, a very water intensive crop. That said, some farming does make some sense even in the desert, since it is almost certainly cheaper to have local produce than to need to import everything from places that have an abundance of water, even if that means building canals to water them.

Because it is maintained by a for profit company and because I believe it defaults to sending back telemetry data to said company, though you can opt out of that. Those are the reasons I'm aware of anyway.

It's ASCII for bb.

I've been going through the Talos Principle, trying to get around to actually beating it. I probably won't go straight into the sequel though, since I prefer to wait for games to go on sale.

Age of Mythology is one that I very rarely see talked about anywhere, it has a pretty good single player campaign. I also think more people should try out Caesar 3, albeit using one of the more modern fan made patches for reasonable zoom distances and other quality of life features.

The entire intro reads like a fucking joke.

There is a kind of precedent for this actually, back in the 90s when Microsoft got dinged for bundling internet explorer with Windows. This feels like it's basically the same thing.

Modded Minecraft is the best I can think of.

A standard I could see being applied is one that I think has some precedent, where if the work it is supposed to be similar to is anywhere in the training set then it's a copyright violation. One of the valid defenses against copyright claims in court is that the defendant reasonably could have been unaware of the original work, and that seems to me like a reasonable equivalent.

To be fair (somewhat) Win10 had the dumpster fire that was Win8 between it and Win7, so it had all the people upgrading from Win7 as well as everyone that had Win8. Not defending Win11 here, I'm never going to use it.

She's not the only one that was there. There were other people there that were murdered and other people there that were raped. Just because one was spared from that fate doesn't mean it didn't happen to others.

It is for those of us who care about our privacy. I for one don't want nebulous corporations with questionable ethics and data security policies knowing and tracking my every movement. And while yes, I recognize that to a certain extent that is unavoidable in this day and age, I don't condone it nor do I want it to be easy for them.
