It’s such a garbage argument when you can just counter with “okay then, release software which allows the public to run them for themselves”.
There are plenty of famous games, including Minecraft (only the most famous game in history) that manage to do that just fine. Acting like it’s impossible just so that you can force people to buy the next game is bullshit.
It’s a weakness in the sense that there are times this place turns into a straight-up echo chamber…
But when there is actual debate going on, it tends to be a lot more civil than on other sites (most of the time)
You make a good point. Even disregarding how well known Itch is, their registrar acted woefully incompetently by not even attempting to contact Itch.io about the takedown request (which is what Brandshield should have done in the first place)
Don’t be fair to them either.
Iwantmyname acted incompetently, but so did Brandshield, who decided to go straight to the nuclear option of a registrar takedown, rather than issuing a takedown request to Itch themselves
Yeah, if Iwantmyname are so neglectful as to pull the entire plug on your website over a singlular copyright claim, then I’d move right the fuck along too. They’re clearly not a trustworthy registrar.
To make things worse, Itch.io isn’t exactly a small company either. If this happened to someone smaller, with less outreach to fight back with than Itch, I can only imagine they’d have no recourse against this neglectful behaviour.
So Funko issued a non-apology blaming Brandshield.
Brandshield issued a non-apology blaming the registrar (Iwantmyname), and saying their AI tool definitely had nothing to do with it
And Iwantmyname hasn’t even put out a statement.
Fucked all around, yet it seems nobody will be facing consequence for this except Itch.io who got their website nuked out of nowhere.
Though if I were Itch, I’d get a new registrar ASAP.
While I honestly believe nobody can get that kind of money ethically, the fact that he actually put his money where his mouth was on philanthropy whike still alive, and almost all anonymously, is very admirable
It goes to show how morally bankrupt these people are that it takes the fear of death being out into them to get them to do something even remotely good/ethical.
It also unfortunately proves, once more, that violence can absolutely be the solution.
You’re not wrong. It is literal objectification of people haha … Just not in the way the OP meant
Of all the traditions one could use to point out objectification of women, statues was not it. People really do just like getting frisky with statues, regardless of gender
One of mine will let me do it, on her terms of course. The other bolts if you even think about it, despite being the more aggressive headbutter
I hate to side with big tech, but they’re not wrong… DNS poisoning is ineffective when pirate sites can just change domains, and users can just change DNS provider or use a VPN. It’s a cat and mouse race that’ll be ultimately impossible to win
Damn, I meant quint but put quad by accident. Should’ve known better.
Though Pentafecta is actually way better
The only thing I disagree with here is Win8 being apparently better than Win10.
Win8 was really damn annoying to use without a touchscreen, and while Win8.1 did help, Win10 was by far the better implementation of PC Metro IMO.
Having said that, Win11 is exactly where it needs to be. It’s all of Win10’s worst traits cranked up to 11 with a heaping of it’s own bullshit and spyware on top
Congratulations to Suigi getting the quadfecta! After watching Karl’s videos on Suigi’s 120 and 70 star records, I knew it only had to be a matter of time until he’d conquer them all.
Well if we use JD Vance’s Razor, it checks out to me.
You wouldn’t post it if weren’t true, right @obscur_e@lemm.ee
I’m honestly more inclined to agree with longer interpretations, as I’m sceptical that he was enough of a natural at all the skills he demonstrates in the movie to have perfected them all in just 6 weeks
I hate to tell you OP, but there’s just about 0% chance that’s gonna happen. Rich people want someone to make an example out of, and the government is all too keen to do it
