- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 1 day ago:
Seems like smartphones are generally used more often than PCs among younger cohorts compared to older. In Britain at least.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 2 days ago:
Going from decline to fall. To be fair it took Rome 200 years or so I’m sure the US will limp on for a while yet. But it won’t ever be what it was again.

I played Nier on Xbox so no playtime comparison on Steam.

It can handle way more than that can’t it? It’s analogue, I remember being able to set my crt to 120hz way back in the day.
- Comment on Why isn't free stuff (public domain/noncommercial) discussed as much as paid stuff? 1 week ago:
Because there’s no monied interests to pump the hype ahead of the rug pull.

- Comment on Why the 2020 video game Immortals: Fenyx Rising doesn't infringe on the trademark of the 2011 film Immortals? 2 weeks ago:
There could be a huge range of possible answers to this question. But we can look at the listings to get some clues.
IMMORTALS FENYX RISING Owner: UBISOFT ENTERTAINMENT (France) Nice class: 9, 14, 16, 18, 25, 28, 41
Regional Trademark Registration Region of filing: European Union Status: Registered (June 25, 2021) Number: 018409702
And
IMMORTALS Owner: Relativity Media, LLC (USA) Nice class: 9, 16, 28, 41 Regional Trademark Registration Region of filing: European Union Status: Expired (November 12, 2020) Number: 009520024
Now there is some overlap between them. The Nice classes, which denote which product/service categories the words are trademarked within, however within a single Nice class there can be a variety of products.
Fenyx rising’s trademark is still active and we can see it was refiled in June 2021, with some previously expired trademarks of the same name having expired in November 2021, whereas Immortals expired in 2020. Without going into the details my best guess is that the initial filing was more limited and has now been expanded to cover more media.
But the big one here is the characteristic word. By adding Fenyx Rising, it could be argued that in addition to the material differences between the trademarks that there is enough separation to ensure there is no risk of confusion from audiences. There are also multiple Immortals trademarks which could make that would in and of itself less defensible depending on the potential conflict.
Finally we can’t discount the possibility that the two parties came to a pre-arrangef agreement to exist in the marketplace side by side. This often happens and unless one is a long-serving distinctive trademark then usually parties can find a way to agree.

- Comment on XXXX Capitalise On Great Northern Going 'Woke' By Saying Gay People Should Be Banned From State Forests 3 weeks ago:
From the original actual news article:
Christie explained that he sees the term “woke” as referring to a “new age of thinking that’s quite left and quite Green” but isn’t factual. “It’s based on the surface on good principles — let’s protect our native bush. But then when you actually are educated and you look into a little bit further, it’s like, no, that actually doesn’t make sense,” he added.
Somehow in these people’s thinking they’re the educated ones. They know that state parks are good but national parks are bad. Smashing up the bush with your diesel soaked 4WD protects the environment. I see echoes of the old ‘carbon is actually good for the environment’ in these weirdos.

We still aren’t even close to repairing all the damage from Black Saturday, let alone being at the point of ‘recovery’.
I do disaster relief and our organisation is at operating at its limit to cover everything that hits us every year.
I can’t imagine how our infrastructure is meant to cope with more of this happening more often.

The natural result of selling off our national infrastructure. Who’d have thunk it.

You think modern houses — more glue and plastic than solid timber — aren’t going to explode into flames? Modern suburbs are tinderboxes.
- Comment on Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries? 1 month ago:
I absolutely don’t agree with your perspective.
AI is just another way to ensure control of the means of production stays in the hands of capitalists.
It empowers the techno-feudalist monopolies to put further pressure on more industries, not content to own a portion of every retail purchase, every digital payment, and every entertainment property. They now get to own a portion of every act of creation, every communication that could possibly challenge their power.
They can subvert any act of independent impactful art by copying it and remanufacturing lesser versions over and over until the original’s impact is lost. And they can do it faster than ever before, cashing in on the original creative’s effort and syphoning returns away from creators into their own pockets.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 1 month ago:
The atomization of society. The process of a society breaking down into smaller, isolated units, where individuals are self-interested and self-sufficient. It can lead to a feeling of being alone even when surrounded by people.

I’ve got no problem with the communists. I like having a part of the internet that isn’t completely commoditised and filled with ads and people trying to sell side hustles. I hate the search function.
