  • By this definition of entitled, I'm not entitled to be alive once I walk outside, because I should have known the risk ahead of time.

    Lol what the fuck?

  • We might be condescending due to braindead users like this:

    You're not entitled to a working computer once you execute a free program?

    Despite grasping legal obligations at the age of 9, taking responsibility for your own actions seems to still be a struggle. Good luck.

  • Whenever you choose to run a program that has full access to parts of your PC that may cause issues, you are the person who chose to do so.

    Just run apps in a sandbox if you don't want to risk having to reinstall your OS in a worst case scenario.

    The developer owes you nothing.

  • Ordering your hardware from China makes it a tad bit easier to shoehorn backdoors in it.

  • While true, legislation can wreck this predatory shit overnight as well.

  • Can it be played co-op?

  • Could you elaborate as to why you feel that a mainstream platform should exist which doesn't care if the content uploaded to it is stolen?

    I get DMCA trolling, and that fucking sucks, but copyrights are important for the artists and creators trying to make a living from making content.

  • Point: regardless of the HOW it was made, the process of figuring if it infringes on something is the same. It's still not always easy and due to the shittyness of current IP laws, even long time professional artists sometimes make mistakes.

    In the end it's just about money.

  • We're actually importing as much as the lines from Sweden to Finland are currently able to support.

    Guess what country is on our east side? Yeah.

  • The math has been done multiple times. The batteries don't pay themselves back, and also need to be replaced from time to time.

  • If only there was some way to find out prior to selling stuff as if you made it. If only. Darn it!

  • The same way you can tell if you repainted a Banksy yourself. If you don't realize, and monetize, then you are liable for a copyright lawsuit regardless of the way you created the piece in question.

    And if noone can detect similarities beyond influences, then it's not infringing anything.

  • The whole "article" was downright crap.

  • He was detained by public servants for breaking the laws of the community, and then attempted to injure them because he doesn't handle "no" well.

    It doesn't matter if you are autistic or a rich entitled kid, or druggie, you play by the rules or you suffer the consequences of your choices.

  • If you make 5k and spend 4k a month, while having 5k savings, that's not pay check to pay check. Close though, but what the term implies is 0 surplus, all that you make goes before next pay.

  • Are most people honestly living from paycheck to another? I find that quite difficult to believe. Then again I'm Finnish and not American, so that's probably why I can't see the big picture from a local pov. Just seems.. baffling.

  • My take is that there's nothing wrong in saying leave, or people leaving. But I also agreed that it's not possible for everyone, or not all want to - until perhaps something is too late.

    I don't understand why the people who can't/won't/don't want to take offense from it, when it's a viable option for many.
