Obligatory I am not a lawyer, this is just my opinion.
A let’s play is a derivative work. You can claim fair use, but that’s hard to do. Fair use often boils down to a question of ‘does the derivative work compete with the original enough to cause a loss in sales?’ Think of when people film themselves watching a movie for YouTube, without cutting anything out and barely commentating over anything, meaning that someone could watch their video instead of the movie and get almost the same content.
In this case, he filmed himself playing the entirety of a visual novel. I think it’s fair to say that for a lot of people, his let’s play could absolutely substitute for playing the game, thus losing sales for the developer.
Can you elaborate on what that means? “Universe is not locally real”? How do we know what is real? What precisely does ‘local’ mean? Real relative to what?
I need to go to bed, I misread that as “Ahsoka is simultaneously the northernmost, westernmost, *and” easternmost US state."
37 minutes later…still here.
You should try Space Engine. It’s a program to explore the universe, based on real telescope data. It also has the ability to procedurally generate galaxies, planets, and stars in unobserved parts of the universe.
There’s a giant ball of extremely hot plasma in the sky and we aren’t supposed to look at it. What is it hiding? Surely if someone managed to look at it long enough, they would see the truth!
Wow…this summary had almost nothing to do with Ukraine…
Sorry bot, you usually do a good job, but not this time.
Probably the same reason they use the word “model” instead of just calling it an embryo. They don’t want to make it sound like they’re experimenting on an actual human embryo (even though that’s basically what it is). That’s the real ethical question here. At what point does this become experimentation on humans? This also steps into basically the same problem as the abortion debate, which is more heated than I’d like to get here.
It’s not a balanced meal without an Epyc 128-core CPU, a terabyte of RAM, and a custom one-of-a-kind case.
We’ve been pointing out that Zelenskyy is Jewish since the beginning. You know, for day five-hundred-and-something of the three day special military operation, that’s a pretty good comeback. /S
He won’t cover it, not enough mascot horror.
I once saw a computer at my workplace with over a year of uptime…
Wow I actually love this idea. There could be some common symbol in the crests to denote what kind of open source license they follow (GNU, MIT, etc), affiliation with other software, all sorts of cool stuff.
If the world is going towards simplified logos, gotta at least make yours good. Firefox did that. Can’t complain.
Yes, but portals violate basic physics anyway.
A portal that faces downwards into another portal is effectively a perpetual motion machine. Drop a ferromagnetic object into the loop and wrap some wires around the loop, now you have an infinite electric generator.
Agreed. That was my first thought.
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
B since all movement is relative.
This was a triumph.
I was so confused, I thought that said ‘overcomplicated Borg’ and thought I was on Risa.
