For me, when the trust is gone, it's gone. But if there is a time limit for you. For example 5+ years. You do you. It's your computer. I remember it when it was fresh on the Reddit sub.

1 time is enough for me.

Thanks Limewire, even though you used to put virus on my computer.

I think Twitch has gone to shit lately, because of their decisions, but I don't know the numbers. Do you have any info about this?

Capitalism is in the end, fighting for monopoly. They rather lose money in foreseeable future, and probably ever, than allow adblockers do their thing for small user-base. Because they want max. control. I can only assume companies that do not go to arms race with their consumers are thee ones that aren't public traded companies.

Make your own works and have it your own name on it. But everybody can copy from eachother.

I as a Muslim, do not believe in patenting ideas already, because you can't deny copying ideas. But most Muslims don't know about this, unless they actively ask this question. You can also not restrict someone else with what they do with after you sell your product to them, unless it's something haram you want to do of course.

But, and there is a big BUT here, you can't copy someone elses brand. You can't put someone elses name on it and sell a product without asking for permission first.

Also, neither USA, nor any other country is following the Patent law when it comes to things when it really matters. Power and politics matter, and if you think about it, it is hypocritical of them to apply the patent law when they want and not apply it when they don't want, but if you think about it, patents are actually made so only rich gets richer and poor people don't copy it from them. It's to protect the rich.

I actually don't think it works. It's better if we retaliate in the same way Israel does.

What 7 October taught is the hypocrisy of our leaders. I am specifically talking about Muslim leaders and Erdogan, but in general I think this is also true.

So which github projects are interesting?

In my country, we had been saying that the government was doing business with Israel, even though they were condemning on every public forum. It took only 1 journalist until the whole public saw the hypocrisy. 1 journalist against all TV channels and internet trolls. (Here 95% of all TV channels are sponsored by government).

I remember telling this years ago, yet this man, who also had to leave the country for his other journalist work said it at the right time with the right tools.

So, what I get this is, don't stop telling the truth. Even though nobody listens now, people will when the right time comes.

Base64 decode:

Which handheld devices are better regarding experience and easy piracy? Im asking because I might want to look in to that.

true.

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

Or even better: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/pcreleases

All I can say is that I manage a team of people and frequently get the following two messages: “I don’t want to come to the office. I feel very isolated working by myself at home - oh my mental health.” What are we supposed to do with this?

So your team of people work in the office? And they rather work at home? What's exactly your point?

Exactly. I think it has to do with the old way of thinking. They might think that working in office is more productive.

Yup, I was thinking of Earthbound when mentioning the Final boss.

I’m curious to see if AI tech can actually help fight some of the bullshit out there

Those AI are the best ones to produce fake scientific papers. It's a cat and mouse game again. Those who can detect bullshit can produce the best bullshit.

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.

In the past, some publishers intentionally spread the fake game, where there were annoyances, or limits in the game, there was one where it bugged out or something when you came to the endboss, etc. The weird thing about this is that the p2p community just went with it, and there wasn't a correct version much later on. Everybody just shared the faulty game.
