So a fake sexual assault story that can be viewed as funny is OK now? Thanks for the heads up.

gjghkk,

I recently watched an interview with an academic woman who trolled the academia with completely wrong things in his papers, and yet it was approved. Academics, and scientific data is not so objective as it may seem from the outside.

Legendary PC developer says Denuvo is “a punishment to the consumer” (www.pcgamesn.com)

Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future,...

gjghkk,

I acknowledge that this isn’t going to be a popular opinion in a piracy sub, but the main reason people hate Denuvo is that it works.

You act like this is some hidden secret lmao. You should change your name to Captain OBVIOUS.

gjghkk,

Hating is a strong word. Dislike, maybe.

gjghkk,

Yes, of course. But what has that anything to do with employees? Developers are not employees, they are the developing company.

gjghkk,

It’s still a choice. I have been on the bad end of these deals and I just said no. I was fired and all.

I don’t think they hate it, they just not prefer it. But saying the word “hate” means that it is their line that they won’t cross, which is false.

gjghkk,

The developer company has a choice. They rather maybe not prefer it, but that’s what it is. But saying the word “hate” is wrong.

gjghkk,

i did use dlc unlockers to play a multiplayer game, and nothing ever happened, and i uninstalled after i get bored with it. But it might not work on Stellaris.

gjghkk,

I think people are less excited for new games than it used to be.

gjghkk,

Playing cracked games helps spread the popularity of said game.

Newsflash: Humans also sacrifice pieces in chess. Chess engines are mathematical beasts that are designed for these things only. But what is more important: Chess engines also needs to be made by humans.

gjghkk,

I use them all, but whatsapp prevails all, because Whatsapp was there first.

What’s more important is that we know whatsapp is not the only device, and can be easily replaced.

gjghkk,

In my country whatsapp messenger can and will be seen by the government if there is a request. Have heard it many times. I don’t think any messenger or anything you write is actually secure or actually private. We just came to terms with that.

gjghkk,

Capitalism, its bubbles and inflations.

gjghkk,

Yea you are on to something. Care to share?

gjghkk, (edited )

kurzgesagt is also political. The video about vegan food threw me off.

I cannot trust someone on certain issues if this person is biased against some of these issues. That is the world today. It’s ok, downvote me, I’m not against veganism btw, I don’t care what people eat, but I truly do not believe in certain number presented even though I do believe that animals are treated very harshly in this capitalistic world because of profits.

gjghkk,

I hope that too, but I’m less optimistic. We live in a capitalistic world.

gjghkk,

piracy is not discouraged, because with games and such it helps easily to escape the war and have easy fun without paying.

gjghkk,

There are many reasons for inflation, but the biggest in Capitalistic economy is the interest and that there is no Gold the money is tied to. Basically, they can print out as many dollars as they want. There is no Gold standard.

gjghkk,

Every other post is about that site. It’s like getting a new girlfriend but constantly talking about your ex.

Where is the question? If you were sincere, which I don’t think you are, you could have worded it much better. For example: “Is it better if we do not talk about that site…?”

gjghkk,

Sincere question, how do I use the block feature, I mean, can we filter out certain words? I only know of blocking of users.

My friend sold his Video Game Collection, it just made me have a midlife crisis at 29. Is this normal?

My friend and I collect old video games. But all my physical media just sits on my shelves and collects dust. Why do I even collect them? I literally just emulate everything. Is there a purpose to what I do? People ask me why I collect and I never have a real answer because I don’t even know. If I never play my stuff, is it...

gjghkk,

There doesn’t need to be a real reason, sometimes we do things just because we feel like doing them.

This all sounds like good, but it isn’t.

What if we need to feel a purpose to do things? I am not a hoarder, just because of this reason. I only play or buy games that me or my children would play. Because hoarding, for the sake of hoarding doesn’t make sense to me.

You say that we don’t need to have an excuse to do things you do, and I disagree with that, because to feel good about my actions, I need to make sense of my actions. Otherwise it all feels purposeless.

gjghkk,

. Yes, emulation is a thing but doesn’t quite beat the experience on the original hardware IMO

Depends on which hardware. I have had more fun with emulators than I had when I was a child with a real NES, because I could play more games with an emulator, and was easy af.

gjghkk,

let people enjoy their game collection or whatever holy shit

Where tf did I say people shouldn’t enjoy their life, why are you putting words in my mouth. I only said that people rather should do what they think it purposeful instead of doing things that feels purposeless. I think that people can enjoy their life for the better, if they do things that are more purposeful instead. If collecting things makes them enjoy it, let them.

Either be against that, instead of getting a straw-man argument.

Life is purposeless!

Disagree with that statement, but I don’t want to get into that, as that is not the subject.

gjghkk,

It isn’t wealth that breaks or makes it. The system, and in this case the shareholding system makes it or breaks it. Valve owner Gabe is insanely rich (in the billions I assume) yet, because the system he put up, it is consumer friendly.

The system is the one, not the people.

gjghkk,

The point still stands though, you can easily filter out anything you don’t want to see.

But I doubt the same would apply if it was owned by shareholders.

gjghkk,

A future change in leadership could very easily lead to it going public and then all the regular bullshit follows. Don’t just assume it’ll always be great; always be ready to jump ship.

Ok, but what has that anything to do with what I said?

gjghkk,

I am having pretty big dreams. I know it because sometimes I don’t get out of the effect after I wake up. But I forgot after 5 minutes or so. Today I woke up, and I remembered initially. It was some huge legendary tale or something, or it felt like it. But I woke up, and knew I would forgot. Maybe I should write it down so I won’t forget it.

gjghkk,

I disagree that trademark should be abolished, but agree that copyright is made so rich can hoard their money without worry, because others can’t copy their ideas.

Trademark is: Your distinguished name, brand, logo, etc so you can be distinguished and can be recognized. A copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to copy, distribute, adapt, display, and perform a creative work, usually for a limited time.[

gjghkk,

The detoriation of the subreddits. Lots of subreddits, especially now, are not good moderated so very low effort posts, lots of reposts and toxic comments being rampant.

gjghkk,

I downvoted, and got banned. Worth it. Wish I was banned for "mistakenly calling her Empress, or “yo big girl” or something to troll her.

gjghkk,

Football manager.

gjghkk,

So what lol. It’s still better than Linux.

gjghkk,

To be fair, I was trolling the linux users, never used linux lol. As seen by my voting, i succeeded.

gjghkk,

If someone wants to join facebook, just go to that webpage, and if you want lemmy, then come here. I don’t get why we have to have a centralized social media platform for all the internet…

gjghkk,

As a Muslim, it is already forbidden to implement artificial scarcity. So as a Muslim, it’s not an opinion, but objectively wrong, because God said that it is wrong.

gjghkk,

I will warn you: We believe that there is good and wrong, and not humans, but Allah (god) is the one who created us and Allah is the one who decides what is good and what is wrong.

So basically what is wrong and what is right is pre-decided by Allah, so we don’t have to decide if something is bad or not, because Allah already gave the info of that to us.

gjghkk,

Instead of John Oliver, every post must include a link to this site (lemmy).

OK mateys, let's talk about direct links. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The original /r/piracy was purposefully gimped because Reddit received DMCAs for any random thing and didn't even bother to follow up. Since we're in new waters, I want things to be a bit more relaxed, but there's a limit on how relaxed we can be, without starting to get lawsuits, which I will not be able to fight off. I also...

gjghkk,

I suggest to post any links here encoded in base64 (see 64decode.org/) It’s easy encryption/decryption.

That way the DMCA crawlers can’t get to it. That is how some forums operate, and I love the idea.
