People who say this are usually consuming misinformation and propaganda and don't know it. Anyone outside of those echo chambers can clearly see how it's dangerous and harmful to democracy.

I feel like we are glossing over the fact that I doesn’t matter that fact if someone is young or old,

Actually if you're talking about congress and the supreme court, I think age limits would make a lot of sense. After all, the people in these positions are deciding how the rest of us get to live. If they don't represent the generations they're governing over, it's inherently unfair. I think anybody who isn't of working age shouldn't be allowed to govern, as that's always the most important demographic for the country.

I'm jealous. Mine watches far-right extremist content on tiktok and youtube. What's an affordable hobby that wouldn't make an insecure man-child feel emasculated?

paternalism

Whenever I see someone complaining about this on the internet, I imagine they're an angsty teenager mad that their mom doesn't let them get a face tattoo.

Another far-right shit hole

They are using Signal

I just had a thought: are the Signal people MAGA? I don't think these paranoid criminals would be using something outside of their control if they weren't certain wouldn't be compromised. I also don't think they're competent enough to self-host and distribute up-to-date app binaries to everyone on the team.

..and if Signal is supporting of MAGA, doesn't that mean they're a risk for anyone critical of them? Even if the app is end-to-end encrypted, anyone just downloading the app from an appstore is one automatic update away from being compromised.

She's talking about angels coming from south america and africa to help trump win an election. Sounds to me like the church needs to be investigated for illegal immigration and voter fraud.

Lots of lunatics on Lemmy.

The good news is that there are a lot of people obviously breaking laws and colluding in and around the Trump admin, so when Republicans get wiped out in the coming elections we may see a lot of them going to prison. No democracy-ending political violence necessary.

kagis

As a Kagi customer myself, I will never not downvote this.

Idk why you're being downvoted since everything you said was right.

I think it just got popular because younger gamers don't know how to use computers, and Discord was easier to use than everything else. The client also looks much nicer than mumble, and overall has better on boarding. The mumble homepage for example looks like a developer site.

We're both armchair lawyering, so I don't feel like continuing this discussion. I'll just quote a part of your comment that I think is silly, both in the claim that is being made, and the confidence with which it is being made:

So, as strange as it is to say, most uploaded videos of a game is in some murky legal territory.

Are you referring to Suckless.org and their Nazi controversy (which was successfully removed from Wikipedia)

I copied those files into my home folder years ago and wiped the partition for good.

I was being sarcastic, fuck big publishers and big tech (Bethesda is both now), pirate all their shit, and shit on the game online so other people don't buy it.

Although I'll admit I couldn't wait, and bought the remaster as soon as I saw it. Oblivion is a special game for me, and this remaster definitely does not disappoint.

I’ll wait for a cracked version.

Piracy is bad! But just so you know there are already people downloading a cracked version of the game illegally today! Can you believe it?!

If something that would normally be copyrightable is leaked, then the only people who have legal rights to that work are still the original owners. Anyone taking/sharing it is breaching copyright.

It's like you're trying really hard to contort the discussion to make it seem like Nintendo has solid a case here. All the protections you're talking about apply to works regardless of when or how they're released. From the point of view of copyright law, a "leaked" recording of a game is no different from a regular recording of a game. Afaik, the guy in the OP isn't being accused of sharing leaked game files.

If you're trying to say that a recording of a video game is not considered fair use under copyright law, then I give you the existence of Youtube and Twitch as counter evidence.

I know some people have a misguided view...

Maybe, but I don't see how that's relevant here, unless you're implying I have that misconception. If that's the case, please point out which part of my comment lead you to this conclusion.

You're actually unwell then. Seek professional help because Nintendo is not your friend. This is going to blow up in your face some day, and it is going to end poorly for you.

Mental health issues are complicated and suicide is awful, and idk you or your situation. Whatever happened, it's good that you're still here, but this religious devotion to a corporation is fucking disgusting. When you find out that Nintendo employees laugh at people like you during their lunch breaks, will you still feel like they're your angels? How much labor have you given to them, both in the form of money you earned to buy their products, and online activity to defend their honor?

Don't give yourself to a corporation like this. If you were saved, Nintendo weren't the ones who did it.

I call Nintendo my angel of salvation and the mother I never had, but I’m just being realistic.

Upvoting just for this.

This argument is nonsense. Why don't they go after regular review channels and streamers? What difference does it make that the game is streamed before release vs after?

Nintendo isn't your friend. Every minute you waste defending their honor online can instead be spent finding real friends IRL

So? Maybe there's a case against him for regular piracy, but streaming a game pre-release doesn't seem like anything remotely close to copyright infringement. If anything, it's journalism and protected speech.

If a leak causes damage to Nintendo's marketing plans, then Nintendo shouldn't have let it leak in the first place. That's negligence on their part.

Of course idk the full story here. Not showing up to court and handing Nintendo a default judgement is stupid.
