Yeah you are reading into my post whatever you want to read. I was always talking about them complaining "He got zero dollards for it." as if he was in any way entitled to that. I'm sure it sucks for the user that Twitter just took the account but I really don't give a crap about the Twitter shitshow.

Yeah we should totally expect decency from the social platform filled with Nazis that is run by a billionaire edgelord catering to them.

Then you might actually be in a different thread. One guy believes this is the same as the bank taking their money and never returning it and another one believes this is like taking people's belongings because they enter your property.

Is there a precedent for Twitter buying an account "back" from a user? IIRC all deals regarding Twitter accounts have been made between users.

Because a celebrity has clout to make a big stink of it. The headline isn't only "Mean twitter took account from user!" but contains "He got zero dollars for it." as if he was entitled to that in any way.

Yes that’s literally what everyone is saying. We aren’t asserting “rights” on twitter or something.

I believe that too, but look at the replies - there are people who literally believe they own their account or compare it to personal property or their bank accounts.

Absolutely true. But apparently the headlines for this event are all "he got no money for it!"

You might be surprised to learn that you do in fact not "own" your Twitter handle and Twitter is not required to buy it off of you if they want it.

I agree with all of this. I just think it's idiotic to complain that they didn't pay him. Twitter handles are not "owned" by the user and the platform can and will do with them whatever they like at any time.

The "dumb thing" to complain about is that they did not pay him any money. It's a dick move that they took it but I don't get why anyone would think they would buy it off the "owner". He was offered some gestures and apparently expected them to want or take it.

TIL the original user of the "@x" account owned it and brought it to Twitter who then took it from him.

Yeah they even offered him some bullshit as compensation that they were not required to. Don't expect decency from a huge company like Twitter.

Contrary to Twitter banking is regulated and governed by actual laws. It's a completely different beast. Go ahead and google who the owner of the money in your account is and how that is regulated.

Yeah why would they pay the "owner"? It's their platform they do whatever they want. What a dumb thing to complain about.

Ah I see, I have misunderstood. I checked and you are correct that it is not possible to download anything but the original file.

Jellyfin does hardware transcoding.

Time Commanders - a British show from quite a few years ago where they had a group of 4 people play Rome: Total War against the AI to reenact a historic battle. With two of the contestants acting as generals and the other two "control" the army - by talking to a guy on a computer playing the game.

I think they deliberately avoided contestants who were somewhat familiar with the game but it just sounds super fun and they had an awesome screen-table with an overview of the battle. They should make a revival with a current game and just have experienced players act as generals to fight against each other with some of their friends acting as lieutenants.

I give up my space on the ship for someone who can appreciate the company

Should have gone "Fuck Reddit" instead. No one outside the bubble knows who or what a u/spez is.

Pirate is definitely out - I don't really care to be surrounded by guys 24/7 on a crowded and dirty ship. Samurai maybe but I'd go with "Cowboy". Has the best chance for a somewhat modern life and many chances to meet women...
