Don’t forget about the comic she made downplaying the seriousness of male r*pe on mens mental health awareness day, and the arguments she participated in under her own post with male victims of SA.

I’d argue it does more damage to directly contribute to triple A gaming companies by buying the crap they release than to abstain from paying for games altogether. People deserve to enjoy things without having to contribute to corporations to do so.

I know you’re probably referring mostly to indie developers though. The thing is that this feels like a moot point to argue because we have no real way of knowing how much piracy directly harms a game developer. Maybe an indie game would have performed better had someone not “cracked” it. Maybe it would have performed worse due to people who are unwilling to gamble by spending their money on a revokable game license not discovering & publicly praising it. In reality I think if it’s a good game with effort put into it, people are going to pay for it regardless - not everyone, but the vast majority of people who would be playing it, even if just because they don’t know how to pirate

Look like, I assume, even though I had no pictures of myself or anything that could be mistaken for one on my profile. But he wasn’t wrong about me being fruity so 🤷‍♂️

Still don’t understand what the california roll part was supposed to mean though

If it helps, people seem to be a lot more open to questions and discussion here than on sites like reddit. Its pretty refreshing.

With the AI stuff, they are not just copying the work, they are stealing small creators livelihoods as well as the efforts of their labour.

They’re also distributing the work and making profit off of it. This isn’t really comparable to someone pirating a game in the age where digital ownership is near dead and every other new game is $60 with game breaking glitches on release

Funniest way to get permabanned

And even though there was actually no threat of violence, disputing the ban will do nothing because there are no humans reviewing the ban appeals (speaking from experience)

Yup. Was permabanned for “advocating for violence” by saying a certain green hatted man was justified in his actions. And before that, a week long ban for directly quoting Rump’s unhinged rambling during the debate to make fun of what he said.

The fact he brought up his pardon umprompted as if he thought it would be his get out of jail free card makes it hard for me to feel empathetic. Especially since there’s a real possibility some cops have let him off scott-free in the past just because of his involvement in J6.

Limiting them yes, paywalling them though?

I’m not trying to unilaterally defend the decision, it’s just not going to make me personally switch browsers. From what I’m hearing a lot of the viable alternatives are forks of Firefox anyway.

Look up Twitch Ad Solutions, there’s a github page where you can find a couple different options. The Alternate Twitch player another commentor mentioned is what I use because I like the adjustable chat and auto-collect bits feature

I haven’t bought Burger King since they started running that annoying fucking whopper ad, literally what pushed me into finally installing uBlock

Thanks I’ll read up on it :)

Do you have any sources about anonymized data being easy to de-anonymize? I’ve been hearing a lot of conflicting stuff regarding the policy change so I wanna make sure the information I’m getting is accurate. But yeah if Firefox implements more anti consumer policies like this I will probably be jumping ship.

Am I the only one here who’s pretty much okay with this? I do wish they’d clarify exactly what they mean by “Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about ‘selling data’),” but having my anonymized data sold so that Mozilla can continue to operate (combined with Firefox being the best browser I’ve used in terms of both performance and flexibility - ability to install add-ons from sources outside of the Mozilla store, for example) - seems like a worthy tradeoff to me.

They also have an option to opt-out of data collection, which I do wish was opt-in instead, but with the way every other mainstream browser operates I’m just happy the option is there at all. Let me know if there’s something I’m missing here though.

I was just saying the other day it feels like he gets through all that needs to be said in the first half of the video and then spends the rest ranting/reiterating himself. But I think he has good talking points
