  • Unity bans VLC from Unity Store.

    Jump

  • Why is it bullshit? AFAIK, Unity wouldn't be able to comply with LGPL without supplying their own source code, so then this would be the only logical outcome.

  • Instagram finds that AI Mr beast scams do not go against community guidelines.

    Jump

  • Yeah, no. Instagram was done enahittifying LONG before the term was coined.

  • Ah right,it only shows desktop usage. I remember reading that at some point Antarctica had the highest percentage of Linux users of all continents.

  • If Olivia Rafferty here (they only one I defended) is a nazi collaborator, then sure, by your logic, I must be too. And thanks to the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, you're one too.

    Congratulations. At this point the term has lost all meaning, and we're all nazis.

  • ...So I Finally Quit Spotify

    Jump

  • You definitely don't have to. But if you were actually trying to, let me assure you that equating the reading of a harmless blog post to paying a hotel would not have done the trick.

  • ...So I Finally Quit Spotify

    Jump

  • If you’re fine with supporting a platform that welcomes Nazis with open arms, fine, you do you.

    Now you're basically implying that I'm a Nazi-sympathiser. I find that a cheap tactic and highly offensive.

    That's my issues with these kind of oversimplifications and guilty-by-association-fallacies. Before you know it, everyone is Hitler. I'm not supporting anyone here. I read an article about Spotify on a blog, nobody gained any measurable financial worth from that.

    I don't think we're going to find a common ground here. Have nice day.

  • ...So I Finally Quit Spotify

    Jump

  • The person who wrote the article we're supposed to be discussing in here is at least 2 degrees away from the nazis. At what point does it become circlejerk?

    The Lemmy instance you're on is linking to a substack and is collecting donations, but you seem to be fine with that. So I guess the threshold is 3 degrees?

  • ...So I Finally Quit Spotify

    Jump

  • If you have an adblocker, and you're not visiting any of those nazi sites directly, but do derail a comment section about a totally unrelated article? I say it is, yeah.

    Then again, I can be pretty petty about circlejerks.

  • Ah, that saved me a click. Let's make it permanent.

  • 'The Last of Us' Was the Most-Pirated Show of 2023

    Jump

  • So, back to the original question: what makes you think that using public torrent trackers are not representative of the bigger picture?

    Yes, obviously not being able to use private stats from private sources narrows the scope, but what makes you think it cannot be extrapolated? Personally, I think that private trackers or usenet would paint the same picture, and niche providers would be too small to make a dent in the stats.

  • I don't think it said just 1 specific torrent provider. But even then, as long as it was a decently sized generic torrent provider, what makes you think it would not be representative of the bigger picture?

    The reason why Apple is still successful while other tech companies continue to dig their own graves

  • Poor fellow didn't get enough attention, so now he's trying this way. Block and move on.

  • Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful.

    Jump

  • By that same logic: it costs a couple of cents to burn a dvd or to transfer a few gigabytes, yet games costs $60.

    All the commenter above you is saying is don't mix up the cost to develop with the cost to mass produce,

  • Apple removes app created by Andrew Tate

  • I stop reading after that since those are made up words.

    How did you manage to read any words before those?

  • Cruise CEO says SF ‘should be rolling out the red carpet’ for robotaxis, threatens to maybe leave town

    Jump

  • I never said better than the average driver, I said better than human drivers (preferably by a long shot).

    So let's say that means... Better than 90% of all drivers. That isn't going to cost lives, it's going to save them. Not to mention improve traffic flow.
