I use Lemmy and YouTube. when Lemmy content dries up, I watch a couple of things on YouTube before I begin doing something productive

release the report!!! 🙂

rather than an empty, performative stunt.

looks to me both parties are enjoying themselves in the photo, doesn’t look empty or performative at all. if Dave Coulier was cool with it, thats all that matters imo

spot on. I’ve had enough of tipping. I have gone out to eat and anywhere i get service so much less this past year, but it has been worth it. I’ve saved money and sparked interesting conversations with people in my circle when I bring tipping up. this is a weird hill for me to die on, but I do not care anymore.

how about a discount from the restaurant because I was polite to my servers and was not a disruptive customer? no, because that doesnt make any sense lol

tipping has creeped its way into everything and has turned us against each other for a batshit insane concept that should have never been normalized.

if they want more money, charge more money. this guilt trip at the end of the bil they force upon me at the end of my meal is just so insane. they’re just asking me to give them more money for no reason, full stop.

I think they’re working on it, I could have sworn they said they were but a quick Google search shows nothing for me…

I saw someone posted bazzite as an alternative to steam os, but I’d just rather wait for whatever valve puts out at this point. I trust them to make it happen a little bit too much lol

is this not what the steam deck os will eventually offer? cause I can see myself using that on my desktop eventually

what do I look like, the fuckface whisperer?

OOF. that’s considered a classic now? 🪦

I have the artbook lying around my place somewhere…

ai music is so soulless, just take a listen to any of it. spotify users have to wake up and jump ship. don’t reward them with this bullshit by giving them money.

we have to start voting with our wallets to fight back against nonsense like this

this is a great question. for me, it would be going to bed at a responsible time.

I actually had that thought yesterday. my younger self would be so sad about me cutting out precious video game time, but I literally can’t focus on my job if I get tired halfway through the day.

but my younger self would not understand how lucky my life currently is, and that “sacrifices” need to be made to do the best that I can in life since many people do not have the opportunities I have. I got very lucky.

yawn. wake me up when he joins a social media site not owned by a corp.

its a one season show and that’s it, imo

as someone who made their own instance, talk about it to family and friends and try to convince them to jump on mine, I definitely have not given up. your completely valid talking points are null and void unfortuntately, my social circles are unable to get people they interact with to jump ship as well. they just want their family and friends to see their posts and don’t really care what’s going on behind the scenes…

Its me trying to convert people to use signal all over again, but i won over many of my colleagues and family by telling them to jump on signal as my birthday gift years ago… maybe I’ll have people sign up as a Christmas gift for me this year lol

give up social media? nah that’s too hard for people lol.

I would say… yes! you never know who you are really talking to, so I would never take anything personal someone says to me online, no matter what was said to me.

these are just words on a sceen that can be written by someone who is unwell mentally, as normal people don’t bring other people down during a discussion.

it takes awhile to get used to this, but once you do, the good conversations you have online will (hopefully) outshine the bad ones. good luck!

page not working on my phone, it keeps blanking out shortly after the page loads. have to try it on my desktop later but thanks for the link!

lmao

gotcha, thanks for clearing that up

Since we are going to take a deep dive on this, I attempted to read a Wikipedia article on this court case. I stopped reading after the second sentence since the top of the wikipedia article does not support your claim, at all.

from wiki:

The court determined that Galoob’s Game Genie did not violate Nintendo’s exclusive right to make derivative works of their games, because the Game Genie did not create a new permanent work.

the game genie did not create a new copy of a video game, an important distinction. what is a ROM if its not a new, permanent file and what does this court case have to do with my previous statement?

agreed!
