That’s pretty crazy. It still boggles my mind that they were allowed to do a lot of the shit they did on that set, the “rat liquid breathing” scene is still fucking insane.

What I think will be interesting to see is how they decide to handle the spy gadgets. with the existence of modern technology a lot of the spy gadgets portrayed in the early films come of as pretty silly in part because obviously the technology didn’t exist at the time but now that a lot of it genuinely does it would…

1st: The issue with jobs for EVs is that a lot of the jobs for EVs are in the suppliers rather than final assembly. for every job taken from final assembly you are getting one in battery and motor production. so while it looks like there are less people employed under EV manufacturing in reality it is about the same.

Yep, it’s the ramblings of someone who remembers the EV1 and has decided that is where we are 20 years later.

It sounds like Netflix wanted an excuse to terminate the contract and then realized that they didn’t have the rights to the bible that parts of the sequel film/game now rely on.

whether it makes it to court is one thing but in court so long as the mod maker has the receipts to prove that they are not distributing anything they don’t have the right to then they are good. 

Oh fuck off with that history bullshit. historically 75% of the population in the US wasn’t allowed to vote that doesn’t make that fine now.

I agree that he can charge for his work regardless of its effort (and this one is low effort, it’s just an adapter pattern to relay FSR calls to the DLSS API, with a small config UI to tweak DLSS-side params)

Night in the woods is a must play game, so damn good.

Yep, it's like some people never had to install a weird version of direct X when they installed a new game. As long as all the licenses are correct and followed for what is being distributed they are in the clear.

That does not matter. Excel is useless without someone else’s data, google the massive search engine is completely worthless without other peoples data. Interacting with hardware/software is not illegal.

Except they are getting paid...thats the point of work.

meanwhile at Nintendo in the 90's: “what if we made Earthbound have copy protection that soft locks the game to look like a crash but when you try to restart it instead wipes your save files?”

“technically profiting off of someone else’s product”

Modding is work, it’s like trying to say you shouldn’t have to pay someone to tune your car because they are just modding your vehicle. it’s stupid on its face.

it really depends on the nature of the mod, if the package contains no copyrighted material (which most QoL/feature implementation mods do not) then it’s not actually derivative and can be freely distributed without permission.

The closer we get to the finale the more I think we are in for a twist:

Thieving from Thieves isn’t thieving.

agreed, I am loving all of this.

Accurate. I’m holding out hope that we get some changes once microsoft takes control.
