Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

  • The use of the words 'buy', "own" or 'purchase' in connection with DRM rental should be an international felony, and grounds for immediate break-up of businesses that use them.

    • X appears to be juicing MrBeast’s views to woo the YouTuber to the platform, pushing video upload into users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad

  • Suddenly it's 1960.

    Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Google have replaced ABC, NBC, PBS and CBS.

    Your "personal computer internet appliance" is a black-box running rented software, just like in the 'dumb-terminal time-sharing' era.

  • Correct answer.

    Using any form of biometric 'login' under the US's "justice" system is supremely ill-advised.

    • US broadband grant rules shut out small ISPs and municipalities, advocates say

  • When the dust settles, it'll be just like Ma Bell in 1975: There will be the "Internet Company" just like there was the Phone Company, with a probable 'bonus' of an extra "National Internet Corporation" modeled on the BBC.

  • The SEC or FTC or someone should sue Reddit for using the word 'decentralize' in connection with a feature that's only available within...Reddit! I don't care how many 'blockchains' and other buzz-terms they surround it with.

  • Usual info-free article with clickbait headline. Tinfoil-heads will call it a "troll / honey-pot", designed to attract and identify 'troublemakers'.

    And from that comment section, it's working.

    • Reddit beats film industry, won’t have to identify users who admitted torrenting

    Jump

  • Nothing on Reddit can be proved to have come from a "user", and it's been that way since the "Great Spezzing of 2016", where 'spez' admitted to falsification and alteration of 'user' content.

  • I wonder if it was done on purpose after it came out that the Pentagon had typo'd ".ml" instead of '.mil' and exposed a lot of sensitive emails...

    • Amazon saved children's voices recorded by Alexa even after parents asked for it to be deleted. Now it's paying a $25 million fine.

  • ...Behaviors and lifestyle choices. They do not rise to the immutable characteristics that qualify for civil-rights protection.

    And yes; I've seen the sleazy Wiki edit that attaches "perceived" to the definition of "immutable". 'I just have to believe...' belongs in a child's fairytale book.
