  • 70% of games that require internet get destroyed

  • You're damn right I don't like it, I especially don't like how it destroys art history, which is why I'm part of this campaign to make that practice illegal.

  • It's astonishing to me how even right here on Lemmy so many people still misunderstand what this is about with comments saying that piracy fixes it or that downloading the game installer solves the issue. The games where those things are options aren't what this effort is about, this is about games like Darkspore, Defiance, Tabula Rasa, and our prototypical example The Crew, where there is no one who can play them no matter where, how, or when, they acquired the game, it is impossible to play for anyone, the whole piece of art has been destroyed.

    Honestly if we can't even communicate what the movement is about to those who aught to be our base it really does not bode well for gaining any kind of wider traction.

  • If you can't or won't let your cat outside then don't get a cat. A zoo keeping a cat, big or small, inside with no access to outdoors would rightly be charged with animal cruelty.

    What will the prison of the future look like? Prisoners will be able to be implanted with the memories of the victims of their crimes • VIDEO

  • You just renamed prisons to "rehabilitation centers", you're advocating prison reform not abolishment. Saying that you want to get rid of prisons will just make people think you're an idiot.

  • I'm not getting how this is any different from regular photo ID. The article mentions how it would be stored on the passengers phone but that's just E-ID, which is also far from new. Is this just some random company trying to advertise their system for automated ID checks?

    There will be no peace in the region, not now, not in a hundred years. Not until the last man has slain his last enemy will that holy land be free of violence.

  • Okay sure I'm not gonna say he's wrong because sure given that arresting the head of state of a powerful nation would carry immense consequences I can believe that most countries would just rather not do it, no matter the severity of the crimes, as he said that's just realpolitik.

    But to freely admit that you would ignore your legal obligations when you didn't have to is just so fucking stupid!

    My point of view on this is that the ICC is an arm of the rules based global order, which was constructed by and in the interest of "the west". Which means this statement delegitimizes the ICC therefore degrading western interests, so it real damn idiotic for the leader of Belgium to say this since it's essentially the capital of "the west"! Politicians may have a reputation for doublespeak but that's because there are a great many truths you simply can't say if you want to further your political interests.

  • Putin to conscript 160,000 more Russians for war with Ukraine

  • Putin to conscript 160,000 more Russians for war with Ukraine

    Jump

  • The last round of conscription was meet with uncharacteristically loud pushback from the russian public so pushing ahead with even more is interesting. Is the kremlin that confident in the effect of it's propaganda? or is it just that desperate?

  • US prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione

    Jump

  • That's seems pretty damn ballsy of them since unless they are extremely confident in the jury selection it's practically guaranteed to result in a hung jury if they know that finding him guilty will result in the most severe verdict.

  • Russia: Ukraine has a ‘sovereign right’ to join EU — but not NATO

    Jump

  • It does and the actual wording is in my opinion a bit stronger in the EU guarantee, but I believe politically it's viewed as much weaker since the EU is fundamentally a economic/trade union and not a military one like NATO. That is to say, the EU could still exist without such a clause, but for NATO it's the entire reason for the organization to be.

  • Russia: Ukraine has a ‘sovereign right’ to join EU — but not NATO

    Jump

  • That's a rather odd change of tone since the statement not only definitively states that Ukraine is a sovereign nation but it also outright encourages EU membership for Ukraine which comes with a similar military defense guaranty to NATO, though importantly it of course does not come with US backing. At a guess I would say that they are trying to preemptively position themselves as the "reasonable" party in the upcoming (on-going?) negotiations.

  • India: Why a nation of 1.45 billion wants more children

    Jump

  • Indeed this is a problem that basically all rapidly developing countries have/will/are facing. Japan is famously struggling with their aging demographic right now, China is coming in 10-20 years, Russia is gonna have a particularly nasty time in about 30 years, Italy quite a bad one in just a decade. Plenty of emerging economies like Egypt, Philippines, and Rwanda are likely having their booms right now. At the same time many western countries have benefited greatly from immigration smoothing out their age demographic brackets since immigrants tend younger.

  • India: Why a nation of 1.45 billion wants more children

    Jump

  • Here is India's population pyramid.

    There is a clear swell in the population aged around 20 years old which will be fantastic for the country in the next few decades as they will have a surplus of people in the most productive years of their lives, growing the economy massively. However, right after this glut of workers there is a rather sharp decline in population which means that once these boom time people start retiring, and therefore no longer producing economic output, they will then have to be supported by the suddenly much less numerous younger generation. Meaning there will be more people living off of the work of fewer, that won't be comfortable.

    That's why they want more babies, to lessen the blow of an aging population.

  • NATO must shift to wartime mindset, secretary general warns

  • My dude you are Dutch, if the russians make it to the Netherlands for you to shoot at then the west will already be ashes.

  • Israel and Hezbollah both claiming ceasefire violations on Day 2

    Jump

  • I really wonder how Hezbollah are going to take effectively ceding territory to the Lebanese Armed Forces(LAF). The agreement apparently mandates that after the 60 day transfer process that LAF, alongside UN forces, become the sole military presence in southern Lebanon, an area previously held by Hezbollah. While the two forces are "friendly" at the moment it also wasn't all too long ago that they fought on opposite sides of the Lebanese Civil War, and to me it's looking a lot like this agreement will push them closer to resuming that conflict.

  • Sweden urges Chinese ship to return for undersea cable investigation

    Jump

  • The ship already is effectively detained. For the last week it's been anchored in Danish waters surrounded by military vessels, at this very moment I count 5 German and 1 danish military/coast guard ships within a few km of of the Chinese Yi Peng 3. This article is basically just Sweden asking for the ship to be moved to their own waters so they can more easily investigate, the motivation being that the cable was damaged within Swedish maritime borders so they should be the ones leading the investigation.

  • Opinion: Hololive refusing to credit their talent is messed up.

    Jump

  • Clip from Doobys debut stream where she talks about various personal details. She doesn't outright say her name but she deliberately drops more than enough details that anyone can just look up her IMDB.

    Yes there is absolutely a problem of stalkers and harassment which is why it should obviously be up to the talent themselves if they want to be credited by their real name or by an anonymous stage name, the important thing is that they own the name and can therefore use it in contexts outside of hololive.

    I think talent should be able to use the publics knowledge of their work with hololive to further other projects, that's the whole point of being credited, to build fame to drive audiences to their future endeavors. These are professional performers often at the start of their careers, building an audience is often even more important than simply having the experience, movie studios don't pay Tom Cruise millions just because of his acting skills, they do it because his very name is valuable and will increase viewership. Credit holds tangible value which the hololive talent are being denied.

    As for the specifics of the contract, obviously Cover doesn't publish those for general viewing, but based on the talents behaviors around the subject we can infer quite a few things. Some talent when speaking independently will sometimes allude to "their other job" or some such and lean on their audiences knowledge to fill in the blank, but they will always stop short of mentioning any specifics, no names, no places, and they will never say "hololive". And this holds true even after they have left, which I find particularly concerning. From this we can infer that the contract is fairly strict in the non disclosure department. Of course this is ultimately all speculation and conjecture but given that none speak openly about it, it seems unlikely to be of the talents own choice.

  • While ideally you'd want a column for serving size, package size, and per 100g, if you're only gonna have one it should definitely be the per 100g since that's the only one that allows you to easily compare between different brands and products.
