yea but the posix sh set syntax is atrocious so not supporting it is doing you a favor

or saying “turd”

wow, a whole 0.2% of their revenue? that’s gotta sting.

then… what about denmark?

i like the implication that the main reason a dog was allowed to play was that they managed to get the jersey on him

oh do they finally prevent me from adding new games to the wishlist until i’ve actually played some of the ones i already own?

what is that thing in the first panel?

they can compensate with more muscles

…please

right, who needs muscles when you’re forklift certified

☑️ i’m in this picture and i don’t like it

why not get an ambernic or something?

i don’t remember much about the dlcs, other than one of them being a tower defence game for some reason?

aaaahaha, the “tv at your parents” filter.

i’m thinking back to the blu-ray decryption key thing, where a key was spread in the form of a flag and therefore didn’t count as copyrighted material. of course live broadcasts use rotating keys anyway so it’s not possible to do that.

a streaming site can be a private thing if it is gated by some kind of login, so that’s also a way of getting around the issue.

what complicates it even more is that we here are even allowed to save media from any source for personal use, and we pay a “private copying tax” on all storage media purchases because of that. RAM included. what constitutes “personal use” is also a bit diffuse but seems to hinge on whether it’s for profit.

so technically, as long as it touches a storage device, and as long as it’s not publically available (e.g. passworded or something), and i am not charging for it, it should be entirely legal here.

it’s weird when it comes to broadcasting though. they send the match footage to everyone over the air, but only those who pay get the decryption key. so is the footage the ip, or the key? furthermore, if i pay for the key, then let a friend watch at my place, is that ip theft? if i go to their place and re-stream the footage from my house so we can watch from there, is that ip theft? if i leave but they keep watching, is that ip theft? if they get a friend to come over and watch, is that ip theft?

the definition seems to be that hosting a restreaming service (“pirate iptv”) is ip theft, but narrowing it down isn’t really possible.

there was a study here a few years ago by a digital rights company that estimated how much iptv piracy cost the rightsholders. using their numbers everyone in the country would have had to pay 200€ a month for tv for the result to make sense.

so yeah ip theft isn’t fun, but when the big corporations constantly lie about it and go after people who isn’t even aware they’re doing it i tend to side with the consumer.

funny, i seem to remember apple’s on-device scanning being extremely overzealous a few years ago.

god i can’t wait for century of steam

i mean i can, that’s what’s gonna make it so good, but you know

also what asinine dev team manager is “optimizing for output”??? that’s like the worst idea. it’s like judging carpenters by “most nails used”.

voice-dampening? as in, it moisturises your breath?
