From the perspective of the employee it basically is a gift (more a benefit).
Employees don't pay for stock in an ESOP; they're earned by being employed there (with different options for how they're divided, but restrictions so they aren't excessively dominated by the highest earners).
No smartphones in the street, or parks or shops, whatever, it’s their town.
Screw that. A town shouldn't have the authority to take away basic freedoms like that, even if literally every citizen directly votes in favor of doing so.
That's not really extra nuance, and is about discussing piracy.
The premise that an ISP has an obligation to proactively monitor traffic when they shouldn't even legally be permitted to do so is disgusting.
Even if you never buy an Arc card, a competitive Intel will benefit all gamers.
Only if someone else does for you.
Start documenting all their OSHA violations lol.
I'm sure they'll let you stick to the classic branch like TW3.
No one's screwing your over by making a version of the game that uses more up to date hardware.
It has nothing to do with DMCA. It's not copyright infringement.
It's violating an NDA on an unreleased product, and even if they can't actually get damages, the day they do it they never get a review code from anyone ever again.
I don't think that's really any kind of flaw. Not every project needs to be actively maintained.
It's OK to write something as a one-off because it's useful to you. It's OK to share that to other people with a license that allows them to use it for their own purposes without making a commitment to work on it forever. It's OK if it's never particularly useful to a general audience and only serves as a small convenience for other people who can follow the code and adapt it to their own purposes or make modifications for compatibility.
If 1% of products that are shared unmaintained save 1 other person some work and 0.001% serve as a jumping off point for someone down the line into a project that forms a community around it, that's still a net positive, isn't it? I'd try not to make promises I'll actively maintain it if I won't, and be descriptive enough to make it easy to find your project if you're chasing the same problem and easy to read/adapt the code, but making it available, in and of itself, is a service.
DRM is allegedly "copy protection", but in reality is absolute control over how you access content. Want to stream a movie on the wrong computer/browser? Fuck you.
Want to browse a website without 100 trackers injected to make sure everyone who might want to knows your entire browsing history? Sucks to be you. Want to block ads because there isn't an (web) ad platform out there that does the due diligence to avoid providing a substantial vector for malware? Nah. Need help from accessibility tools that Google hasn't white listed? Maybe just don't be disabled.
There's no reason to switch.
50 year old headphones are still basically fine except for the port changing.
I don't think that's a particularly bad place to draw the line. That's the bulk of the damage.
The problem is that for non-celebrities catching whether it's "based on a real person" or not is extremely difficult, and false negatives can genuinely be life changing. Regardless of whether you think people should be more free with their body or whatever "they're prudes" narrative you want (and eventually it may well be normalized to expect people to see you naked in more than just imagination as technology advances), at the end of the day people are taught to be embarrassed by their bodies and will in many cases be genuinely traumatized even on the less bad end of the spectrum of that kind of behavior*.
*As opposed to sustained harassment and badgering. One time is still very harmful.
None.
The actual "single core", "multi-core" were basically fine last I was aware, but they went so far into apeshit meltdown about the fact that AMD was offering better value than Intel with Ryzen (which is kind of back and forth since, but AMD is the reason I could get a 16 (real, capable of demanding single core loads too) core for $500 a couple years ago, not too long after Intel was selling 6 cores for more than that.) that it undermined everything else.
Anyways, UB's owner didn't like that AMD had good shit so he kept changing the "gaming/desktop/whatever" grade formulas to tilt the comparisons to Intel using more and more hilarious mechanisms. It started with a reasonable "you don't really benefit from games past 4/6/8 cores" and de-emphasizing super high core counts that hadn't really been an issue before, but it quickly degraded into obviously cheating hard by whatever means necessary to punish AMD, with even worse diatribes in the descriptions to match.
