Not that a date in a file really is valid evidence, but the point is to define when the copyright occurs. If i come back and say "well i did that same thing before you did" them it would make your copyright invalid.
I've always been amazed when i get a new "seasoned" project manager and they try to really work on making all the tracking as efficient as possible so they have tons of metrics.
...and then nothing happens. We don't look at projects and tasks and figure out which work would be best for which team members based on past experience. We don't do any sort of optimization. We just track "velocity" and our estimates on release end up more dependent on how new the tech or the concept is (not knowing what we don't know) than anything else.
I think its less about not understanding and more that these concepts only work in unrealistic scenarios that aren't real. It's the same with Agile. They never address the actual issue and try to work around them which never works.
What I'm amazed about is that ads even work at all. Especially when they are white noise. I've never once clicked on an ad to go see more about the content because I'm here to watch a video.
The idea is that if you wanted to fight a big company with lawyers you'll either lose because they will delay till you're broke, or you'll win but the lawyers will get most of the money. If you have a legit issue they would honor resolving the issue without anyone having to spend time, money, and publicity in court. It means you might actually win one of these times. The joke part is we already have an unbiased arbitration system...our courts.
This is legal, currently, because this is basically a non-disclosure. We will deal with our problems outside the legal system and no one will talk about it. We do this in other cases but its usually human to human, not human to massive corporate entity.
I was always more of a retro gamer even back in the day. 80s and 90s playing MUDs or Atari and getting an SNES late to the game. My computers were always hand me downs from my parents so i never really got into the best games when i was a kid.
But when i got that issue of PC Gamer with the demo of what Halo was going to be like, with the dinosaurs and cut scenes built into the engagement with your targets...wow i wanted to play that.
In the original release of Myst you weren't necessarily prevented from stumbling upon things you would find as you follow the progression. My parents got me the game and i ended up clicking on everything and found the last room where the whole story comes full circle....well before i hit up the individual book worlds.
Oh of course. Half of the staff at any of these types of apps are looking for a huge sell out which requires bastardizing the concept. I just wish for once one of these apps would stay true to their original stated purpose. Ride Share means you're going this way for a reason too, not just to be a taxi.
All of my gaming is super retro or low tech. I do have an XBoxOne but i rarely use it. Computer is old so games on there are mostly old old stuff from the 90s and early 2000s.
Hardware wise i have an Anbernic 353V that I do a lot of retro gaming. Not a huge fan of the Gameboy style setup but its a good cheap machine.
My kids have Switches and thats what kicked me from supporting Nintendo after they go obsolete. The Joycons on one suck and I've replaced the connector hardware twice now. The best version is the Lite but you cant connect it to a TV which is dumb. Their family sharing is broken (wife has digital game, i havs DLC, we are SOL).
I feel like HURD is the generational starship of operating systems. Will never be completed in my lifetime but eventually my great great grand children may some day use it.
Think less about time sharing and more about using all the computers you own together.
You would have a netbook with no compute power as your UI sitting on your couch. You could connect to your beefy desktop to do all the computations for your video editor or playing a game and never have to be sitting at your desk.
You could also have a big file store device with lots of drives to store stuff.
We can do some of this now, I ssh into my desktop from my couch and have a NFS in the basement. But they all operate as separate devices that i have to really work at getting to operate together. Plan9 was designed where you'd just pick devices off of the network and the tasks operated normally. Pick your video card, local or over the network to the beefier GPU.
Yeah yeah the standard pedantic response to web services who use ads.
But how about a real response? People want to block ads and still consume content. If you feel the cost is too high then shouldn't people watch some ads and block others to only "pay what you want." Everyone seems to want the service for free and then cry that when you don't pay your get your videos.
Explain how this is different than going to a grocery store and then being pissed they wont let you just walk away with food without paying?
Not sure how an IPFS option would work. I get the bandwidth issue slightly goes away as we'd all kinda share that cost but not really. IPFS isn't really free storage. Of all media shitty compression video is big and anyone who forgot to tune their torrent upload and accidently seeded something for too long knows you'll run out of monthly bandwidth allotments very fast.

If you update then you add an additional date.
