Ah, thank you for that context, I didn’t see any mention of Patreon in the article.

Not that this would save the average person from litigation hell, but does Nintendo actually have a legal leg to stand on? What would make a (free) mod any different from any other artistic expression?
Also assuming the mod creator didn’t do anything crazy like rip assets from an existing Pokémon game.
They reported 9.9 billion in profit for their third quarter last year, so I think 458 minutes of profit from that quarter.
I assumed 90 days in the quarter, or 129,600 minutes.
So dollar or minute wise, that comes out to a 00.35% penalty to that quarter.
Edit: Which isn’t even close to the 36 minutes in that article, so I’d err on me being the wrong one.
Edit 2: I think I see the difference, I was looking at their profit, not their revenue.
Sometimes I put stuff somewhere “safe”. Which means I’ll find it 2 years later.
Nomads from Cyberpunk 2020/2077 were not on my bingo card for this year.
The guards that patrol the ice wall.
Entirety of NASA. Entirety of NOAA. Meteorologists. Cartographers. Everyone who works on Google Earth. Every engineer who works on satellites, rockets, and planes. Physicists.
However, I do think 10% is probably too high an estimate. While these are a lot of people in a lot of areas, they represent pretty small demographics each.
Hallucinations while half-asleep are a well known phenomenon, so it’s very possible.
If you’re trying to know for certain, that’s harder. You’ll have to consider a lot of things. Not all of them are likely, so how much digging you do is dependent on how concerned you are.
Do you live alone? I assume you do, or already asked the people you live with.
Are all your exterior doors and windows locked? Is anything missing or out of place? I think you’d have already noticed if you’d been robbed, but this is easy stuff to rule out.
Do you have functioning Carbon Monoxide detectors? Do you have sleep apnaea? CO can lead to memory loss, sleep apnaea can contribute to sleep paralysis.
Have you seen your door open while half asleep before? If this is recurring, you can do things like place hairs in the door that will fall if it opens.
Have you done a sleep study? This can help determine if your REM cycle is frequently disrupted and if you need something like a CPAP.
There may be a better way, but I use the option to extract the file to a new folder with the same name as the zip file.
In my opinion, when you prioritize money over values, it’s just bigotry with more steps.
At least the end result is the same, even if the motivation is potentially different.
The original design of that bench is an art piece protesting the commercialization of life (although it may have been implemented seriously in some place where they missed the point).
Ironically, I’d expect a person living on the street to have actual coins capable of operating the bench more often than most people.
For a while there was a persistent myth that black people had an extra muscle in their leg that allowed them to perform better at sports.
It’s kind of similar to phrenology in trying to justify racism.
The “recycling” in Soylent Green is due to global warming and overpopulation causing a bunch of food scarcity. It’s definitely prescient in that way, but also weird in the context of the diagram.
One time Anakin lost R2 in a space battle and insisted on a rescue mission. He was told no, because it’s a droid, and then Anakin had to explain that he never wipes R2’s memory banks and R2 has accumulated massive amounts of sensitive intel for the Republic military.
What Anakin doesn’t mention is the alarming amount of info R2 has on the Jedi, Anakin and Padme’s personal life, Naboo, the Senate, and whatever Separatist data is in whatever systems R2 is hacking into that week.
At that point, Leia giving R2 the Death Star plans is basically par for the course.
I’d never heard of Subsync before and I’ve just spent the last two hours fixing so many subtitles.
I’d had good results using SubtitleEdit to offset subs and set sync points before, but this tool is on another level. I might actually need to go back and use it to polish up a few subtitles that I got mostly right, but not quite.
Good explanation, thank you. It looks like fair use is a lot more limited than I had thought. And obviously not worth the risk for the average person to try and use as a defense.
