GunnarRunnar, to news in Elon Musk appearance at Valorant Champions tournament met with boos, crowd chanting 'Bring back Twitter'

At least he puts them to use. I bet he's sad all the time.

GunnarRunnar, to nottheonion in Donald Trump campaign raises more than $7m by selling mugshot merchandise

Who are you giving credit to?

GunnarRunnar, to til in TIL that Jim Carrey was paid $7 million for ''Dumb and Dumber'', while his co-star Jeff Daniels made just $50,000

While I don't think it's as straight forward calculation as Norgur thinks, you're forgetting that star power has marketing reach beyond just name recognition on a poster. People want to hear from them. They give interviews, promote at events and give status to the movie: It will be featured more in media which in itself means that more people will hear about it (even if they don't choose the movie based on that name) which means they're more likely to consider seeing it at a later date as they recognize it.

GunnarRunnar, to asklemmy in What psychopath architects are still designing bathrooms that you have to pull the door open in order to leave?

If I'm sure about one thing, it's that people are disgusting. I'd much rather avoid touching the door after using the toilet when my hands are clean. And even in the case that the door is disgusting, you can wash your hands both before and after.

GunnarRunnar, to games in BioWare lays off senior writing staff as part of its recent job cuts

That's the story of almost all EA studios. Respawn afaik has kept their senior staff but also have expanded too much for me to believe there's a "Respawn identity" anymore.

What's funny that happened with Bioware and Criterion, too.

GunnarRunnar, to moviesandtv in Mayim Bialik Declines to Host ‘Celebrity Jeopardy!’ Amid Strikes, Replaced by Ken Jennings

I thought Ken Jennings was a cool dude. This doesn't feel like a cool dude move.

Scabbing or not, it's semantics, but supporting the strike seems right to me. Though like you mentioned there's the rest of the crew to think about. Maybe they need this check.

GunnarRunnar, to linux in Linux players getting banned on Apex Legends again

It's also worth giving them the benefit of a doubt. It might be just a bug or an oversight.

I don't see how player data even would be worth risking GDPR fines. But at least you don't have to worry about it.

GunnarRunnar, to linux in Linux players getting banned on Apex Legends again

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives individuals the right to ask for their data to be deleted and organisations do have an obligation to do so, except in the following cases:

  • the personal data your company/organisation holds is needed to exercise the right of freedom of expression;
  • there is a legal obligation to keep that data;
  • for reasons of public interest (for example public health, scientific, statistical or historical research purposes).

GunnarRunnar, to asklemmy in What is your favorite insult in your native language that doesn't exist or cant be directly translated in English?

Well he is wearing a hat with hands.

GunnarRunnar, to linux in Linux players getting banned on Apex Legends again

You can't delete your account if you're banned? Seems a bit iffy.

GunnarRunnar, to news in How Did That Flagrantly Illegal Raid on a Kansas Newspaper Happen? The Editor Has an Idea.

But does that actually hurt the ones responsible?

GunnarRunnar, to technology in Generative AI boom "could come to a fairly swift end"

This will greatly enhance the intelligence of future generations and make education accessible to almost everyone on earth at a similar high level.

You mean at the current ChatGPT level? Because I'm unsure if the future versions will be open source or open access, if not surely it will just raise the disparity in education.

GunnarRunnar, to worldnews in Spanish FA president criticised for Hermoso kiss

Yeah, might. It's good good to question it even if that's the case. Maybe next time someone will think twice about doing something similar if it's not consensual.

GunnarRunnar, to asklemmy in If you knew you were going to get Alzheimer’s at 65 would you have kids?

If I'm 64? No way. If I'm 30? I don't see why not.

GunnarRunnar, to technology in AI-Created Art Isn’t Copyrightable, Judge Says In Ruling That Could Give Hollywood Studios Pause

I wonder could you interpret this as AI created movie script isn't copyrightable but the actual filmed movie is. That would invite some weird competition, like we've seen over the years with the copycat movies.
