Thanks Microsoft for spotting that, and thanks to Google and CloudFlare for blocking or redirecting Polifyll.io network traffic.

Credit where credit is due.

Namaste.

This is what corporate speech control looks like, kids. Not even once.

Beware conservative governments. They pussyfoot with nationalists, fascists - and worst of all - lobbyists, the backstabbers of democracy.

Hideo Kojima is not real, he cannot hurt you… Only emotionally.

Ah yes, DRM… burn it down, burn it all down

Poor Russians get the front lines, rich Russians get a new vacation home… why did they get rid of the Tzar again?

Biden 2024 - wear an union around your belt

Ok, then let’s not think about it then. Seems like a good idea… /s

And actual slavery.

Yes paramount that you and yours understand that the big publishers are garbage.

They don’t want any downtime from tracking your ass.

You start to wonder how many CDN’s have been compromised in the past, or if they have actually been discovered. Maybe this company did it the stupid way and got caught and someone else has not been caught.

Also, aren’t there sum checkings implemented client side, or does the server give you the sum if you select the “latest” tag? I seem to remember there was some sort of checking, but I dunno.

This seems like a bit of a vendor lockin situation.

Well of course they did, either that, or they’d need to prosecute them selves lol

Uhhh pre-modern architecture is uhhh inherently uhhh socialist and is therefore uhhh classified as terrorists.

Neo-liberals, probably.

We’ve been trained to react to sales more or less, since before Steam… but what, am I not going to get that AAA game for $8 that was $70 3 years ago? I mean it sucks balls, because all good AAA games don’t go down in value - in fact, if we look at Elden Ring, GTA, RDR2, they increase in price over time.

If we had a piracy statistic, we’d probably see how much money publishers are losing at this strategy, and that the only way they can ever prevent piracy is by promoting authoritarian regimes that will take away your rights if there’s as much as an R2R file on your system.

So yeah, the gaming market is dumb by default. When publishers cry their salty tears about their intellectual property being pirated, my eyes roll back into my head.

You’re telling me a program you developed 8 years ago, that receives nominal updates, is still worth full asking price, even when the teams and the developers have moved on to other projects and you’re not actually putting that much money into it? Gtfo here. Oh no wait, that was rude. Let me rephrase.

Awwwwww :3 piwacy owie, UwU? Maybe adjust pwicing? No? No sympathy for you, because I don’t have sympathy for grifters.

Here’s a careful reminder that “public domain” is not a worldwide thing ^^; in fact, very few countries have a public domain.

In some cases, if you try to publish something as “public domain” from a certain country, it is invalid - because their judiciary does not define public domain as anything.

It maybe considered public domain, until you die and someone wants that copyright, in which case the family takes precedent over the estate - full stop.

There’s a difference between countries that have common law (US and UK) and those that have civil law (the Nordics), so yeah.

But CC is valid license pretty much everywhere, with a few exceptions.

…I get a “Forbidden” error on all those tags ^^; Apparently they are not publicly available.

BUT COOL! I’ll be giving Floorp a spin then :)

We’ve come a long way since FBI normalised warrantless wiretapping in the 1950s… oh well, on with the bomber jacket, off to some three letter building with a satchel full of love… in Minecraft.
