I cannot tell you how much better it feels to click a link to an android app and it opens github and not the play store.

Even the trees had were a bad move, no one should ever have left the oceans.

All of my amazon packages come through UPS or the postal service. Not really sure how much interaction they actually have with Amazon

Was it an Amazon branded delivery truck? Sounds more like a shipping company fuck up if not

I have never not been able to pirate a book, if you're interested. Book piracy is super super easy

I only support book piracy because most of that money goes to a publisher anyways, and Amazon gives credits because they take a huge cut anyways when people do pay out of pocket.

I mean, yeah, for some of us it's apart of the experience to see a game change and grow over time and be apart of it. It's nice when developers respond directly to you and even take your ideas into consideration. It's nice being apart of a community, too

I get this if we're talking AAA millions of dollars dumped into a game and it goes early access, but EA indie games have been a blast for me for years.

I think the main issue many people are taking is that these fakes have been around for a bit, but NOW there's a call to legislation when it's a billionaire that's the victim.

Of course it's a problem and I've said before that this needs to be discussed on a legislative level, but even I'm rolling my eyes that it took a literal billionaire being exposed to it to have any impact.

Not even just a technical security standpoint, why would you put a live camera up when someone else legally owns the feed?

I've had discussions and people claim it's no different because other systems can be hacked and you have a phone with a camera that can be remotely accessed, etc.

But those things are illegal, the people using Ring are knowingly putting up a camera where someone else owns the footage. They aren't hacking, they aren't stealing. In fact, they're letting you borrow the footage anytime you check the camera yourself.

We really need like a consumers union type organization. I know it would require work, but I guarantee if millions of people got the "Hey just don't have Netflix for a couple months and we'll get what we want" memo, then millions of people would have stuck together

Can you imagine the ego stroking it must be to have an entire genre named after your work?

They probably could have had a case against the first game to market itself as such, but I think once the terminology gets utilized as a "common term", you can't do anything. It's why Nintendo in the 80s and 90s was so fucking adamant on pushing parents away from calling any and every home game console a Nintendo

Fromsoft would have 0 ground if they wanted to today, but honestly, again, I think it's one of those things thats such a pedestal that there would be no reason to go after it.
