They just had to work with the companies instead of unilaterally injecting shit into their games lol.

As far as I'm concerned skippable ads are the same thing as any other ad. I use auto play for a reason and it's because I don't want to fuck with the remote every episode.

It will never get ruled on because the core concept is so obscenely unconstitutional that it doesn't matter.

It looks like they're using it correctly to me.

Server side anti cheat can’t distinguish good players from aimbots.

Neither can a rootkit, which should be unconditionally illegal and send CEOs to jail for putting in their product. There are no exceptions and no scenarios where it can possibly be acceptable for a video game to access any operating system anywhere near that level. Every individual case should constitute felony hacking, with no possibility of "user consent" being a defense even if they do actually clearly and explicitly ask for "permission".

If they didn't have the authority, why did you settle with them?

Noticing you failed to abide by the settlement you agreed to isn't new authority.

Taking away advertised features that literally one single person bought your game for is unacceptable.

OK, but it's also a pretend privacy browser that doesn't actually protect or respect your privacy.

lol the blurb is more than enough to convince me it's a waste of time.

That tone isn't useful.

Neither are infringement. Artists attempting to bully platforms into not training on them doesn't change the fact that training on information would be black and white fair use if it didn't have absolutely nothing in common with copyright infringement. Learning from copyrighted material is not distributing it.

If the court doesn't just ignore the law, which has nothing that could theoretically be interpreted to support the idea that training is infringement in any way, this case will be the precedent that sets AI training free.

And you, as an individual, should want that. Breaking the ability to learn from prior art is still literally guaranteed to disenfranchise the overwhelming majority of creators in all formats, because there are massive IP holders who have the data sets to build generative AI and produce unlimited "free" content, while no individual will be able to do the same because they'll have nothing to train on. If you think Disney has a monopoly now, wait until they can train AI on 100 years of 95% of TV and movies and no one else can make AI.

Yes? It's a full featured desktop OS. It can do most stuff you can do on Linux and most stuff you can do on Windows.

It can also, as an additional benefit, run iPad and iPhone apps unless the developer prevents it (if you have Apple Silicon), but I'm not sure where the idea that it's less of a desktop OS than the other two comes from.

The Good Place is the best thing humanity has done.

It's a different feel, but not completely, from HIMYM, but How I Met Your Father isn't bad either, and Hillary Duff is really enjoyable in that role.
