  There are no applicable laws that I know about, and as a voice actor I am similarly concerned. There is a lot of focus on this in the industry atm, but we all know how glacially slow government moves. SAG-AFTRA and NAVA have this as a focus currently, and I'm watching with interest.

  Thankfully there are alternatives out there, and we should be using them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify just changed TOS, giving them unprecedented rights to create "derivative works" from audiobooks⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They don't. The message right now is to boycott Spotify.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA flop Immortals of Aveum reportedly cost around $125 million, former dev says "a AAA single-player shooter in today's market was a truly awful idea"⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone stole $40 million of EA's money and didn't advertise another horrible cashgrab?

  "I'm not even mad, I'm.. impressed!"

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minister quit ‘because he could not afford rising mortgage costs’ on £120,000 salary⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean you're right haha, but while I hate to be that guy, this is from Britain, where ministers are members of government, not the church.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I like women but I also like cock but I'm not otherwise attracted to the male body at all. Wtf is my sexual orientation?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally agree. I'm not sure why everyone focuses so hard on determining how many letters there are in their alphabet. 5 years from now it might be totally diff. It would be so refreshing if people simply said "Here's what floats my boat today"

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cory Doctorow wants to wipe away enshittification of tech⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there ARE other ways to combat this, and the main one is ending activist investors that empower the Jack Welch pump and dump doctrine.

  If someone wants to invest in something because they like it, they should be able to do that. What they should NOT be able to do is overwhelm a company they may or may not even like with dollars and then tell the company how to run its own business. If you don't like what a company is doing, you SELL YOUR STOCK.

  It's this incessant worshiping of the shareholder that is step # 1 of enshittifcation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cancelled two weeks ago, and while it's too early for me to have a fully informed opinion, so far I've noticed that if you just hold items in your cart until you reach some kind of threshold (and I admittedly don't know what that is) you can get free shipping anyway.

  It's almost like I was paying all that money just so I could one off order anything on a whim. I'm an adult, I can exercise impulse control and stick it to Amazon in some small way by doing it. Win/Win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should this be in unethical life pro tips⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oddly specific haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, we gotta trick the rich into letting us eat them.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They did. The people were starving to death. The woman's complaint was that her friend had talked her into eating their sons... but to eat hers first. When the time came to eat the friend's she played clueless about his whereabouts. The king was understandably upset at the state of affairs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha those are hornet's nests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's with the 'Thanks' people?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks is a less formal thank you.

  Maybe OP thinks that someone is dissing them by being informal?

  Dunno

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, learning how to make/grow things yourself and forming a community of others who do the same thing for different items is the most revolutionary act you could do in this world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to make two groups of fanboys twitch simultaneously.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No one expects the Reaper Inquisition

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Plague Tale: Innocence is free to claim on Epic⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Had an eye on this one for a long while. Can't wait to play!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NASA uses laser to send video of a cat named Taters over 19 million miles⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Video beamed. Video intercepted by aliens. Think cats rule earth.

  They're right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So I tried Lethal company... and didn't like it. Does it get better eventually ?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate horror games too, but I like my friends so... when they all wanted to play I joined them.

  Then I found there was a man-in-the-chair role and the rest was laughter filled history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The Day Before" makers Fntastic are shutting down.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  you can say that again

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I add baking soda to lemon juice and water or use carbonated water is the carbon the same as the CO2 in the atmosphere?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention that CO2 was previously captured before you can even put it into your drink. taps temple knowingly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Bethesda Responding to Starfield's Steam Reviews Is Part of a Rising Games Industry Trend⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what bothers me the most about the developer responses was that they sounded like Chat GPT.

  Like you get past the first paragraph and you already know what the whole 4 more paragraphs is gonna say, just in a different way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games with characters you miss most after completion.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mass Effect for sure. I miss my friends.... so I play every couple of years to say hi xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  When a corporation is willing to lose billions of dollars to capture an audience, effectively locking out any competition, and then counters any possible avenue to blocking their monopolistic stance, your first statement shouldn't be about choice, because there isn't one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Unity felt the need to “rush out” its controversial install-fee program⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how they blame Unity's shortfall on acquisitions, but make no argument whatsoever that perhaps acquisitions should be more carefully considered with regard to the bottom line.

  Will Microsoft also bend the knee to China for gaming $$$? We'll soon find out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Gaming is much better on Linux thanks to Steam, but having lots of problems with more recent games and their cursed launchers. I try and remember that Gen X had to figure all this stuff out with early versions of Windows and I should resurrect the same determination that got me through back then... but I'd be lying if I said it was easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 12 May Require a Subscription⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe this will finally convince the world to move to Linux Mint
