Unless the police are an entirely independent organization, they can still receive orders from the top directing them to seek out fines even if they’re not the ones who directly benefit.

Visited his HOME
Further proof that anyone who wants anything to do with Nintendo modding should do so completely anonymously. Treat it like you’re hacking a government system or something damn.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
IIRC this is what is currently protected in American law, but the problem is that in the time between now and the Sony/Bleem lawsuit Congress passed the DMCA, which has a provision making it illegal to bypass copyright protection. When emulating any modern console, you are naturally required to bypass the copyright protection on the game, which Nintendo would argue makes it illegal to do.
Maybe you could get around this with some kind of emulation scheme that requires the console to be plugged into your PC, like the emulator uses the console’s official hardware for the copyright check and then just takes over rendering the game.

They’ve been doing this for a long time, and it definitely has a depressive effect. Even a big gaming youtubers like Videogamedunkey has commented on how every single time he does a video about a Nintendo game it gets demonetized, and while he can afford to take the financial hit every now and then there are plenty of mid-tier creators who can’t.

I love that game, but I fucking hate the remake’s artstyle. Its completely put me off from trying Echoes even though the premise and gameplay of that one seem right up my alley.

The capchas getting really bad on Mullvad almost made me give up on using a VPN. But then I learned about Buster.
This is my third post in a row shilling for this browser extension lol, it’s so good.
- Comment on AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs 1 month ago:
There’s a browser extension, but it uses an older technique of requesting the audio captcha and then parsing the words, which is probably more energy efficient.
- Comment on AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs 1 month ago:
Same. That’s why Buster is my most recent must-have browser extension, alongside such greats as ublock and sponsorblock.
- Comment on Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it 1 month ago:
Ugly people are still making it, pop acts have just figured out that if you make a pretty person pretend to sing it it sells better.

If you’re buying $1000 worth of lumber $50 to ensure it gets home undamaged is cheap.

Every time BTC crashes I say to myself, “I shouldn’t bet on it coming back, this will surely be The One.” Nope, currently higher than it was before the last one.

Anyway I think the meme should be updated with Newton, since that follows the theme of “groundbreaking and famous physicists”.

Frankly, George Orwell is part of the problem. Aside from a brief stint during the Spanish Civil War where he supported the CNT-FAI, he spent the overwhelming majority of his life supporting the British Empire and relentlessly hating Communists of all stripes, to the point where even the British government told him to chill the fuck out because they were allied with the Soviets. His books aren’t immensely popular in extremely right wing countries because they have a left wing critique of government overreach, they’re popular because they are anti-government in exactly the same vague and malleable way that all populist right wingers are.

The whole Western world is at this point, it’s so depressing. Even when the left seems to win democratically people like Macron nakedly abuse their authority and caucus with the fascists over the social democrats.
- Comment on YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog 1 month ago:
I remember subscribing to YouTube Red when it first came out (and had a reasonable price), literally the first video I watched after subbing included an ad for YouTube Red in it. I was so fucking pissed lmao, thank goodness for SponsorBlock.

Tons of the problems of modern day matchmaking could be solved by this, but if players are running their own servers then they can just have their server give them the items they want, which means no more premium currency purchases for R$.
- Comment on We lost Keanu 1 month ago:
Graham Hancock is a fraud who pushes a baseless conspiracy theory about an ancient civilization that spanned the globe that was destroyed before the last Ice Age. He’s successfully siphoned money away from serious archeological work with his specious bullshit, and right now he’s doing a series called Ancient Apocalypse where he pushes this hypothesis on Netflix. Looks like it’s going into Season 2 and Keanu Reeves appears in it.

Man I’ve often been confused at jobs too but the difference is that I’ve kept pushing through until I either figure it out or they fire me. So that’s my advice in this hypothetical, fake it till you make it.

ad revenue and shady services
So as long as there is money to be made?
- Comment on Very thankful 1 month ago:
Fair
- Comment on Very thankful 1 month ago:
Shady shit happens specifically because there is money to be made. If everyone around the world stopped paying for porn, full stop, then the only porn that would be made would be passion projects from artists who want to create for the sake of it.

Hezbollah isn’t just a military organization. It’s a political party. The majority of those pagers were in civilian hands when they detonated.
- Comment on Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way! 1 month ago:
kill individual fighters
They killed like 1 fighter in exchange for wounding a thousand civilians, including at least one little girl who died. The pager shit is every bit as indiscriminate as the bombing.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Right. I was saying that Hexbear isn’t a cult on the same level as the named examples, that it’s just some people with a different view of global politics than the norm, in response to a commenter who insisted that they were a dangerous cult that should be stamped out.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Any state can, but many don’t. And the point here was to explain why I don’t believe that blaming famine deaths on Mao Zedong is a justified position to take, when the cycle of famine was ended under his watch.
- Comment on Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills 2 months ago:
When I was a kid they taught penmanship too. I was awful at it but then when I was an adult I had a job where I actually had to use those skills and I was glad to have them - same thing with everything I learned in Home Ec. I think all of those classes are extinct now, based on how people talk about school never teaching them anything actually useful.

We were talking about cults, I brought them up as an example. I could have just as easily used Scientology.
