Caveat: I am not an employment lawyer.

Oh I bet any money that Russian, China, Israel and other spy loving countries had one or two infiltrators in that group dropping bugs and trying to stick malware into laptops.

Yeah, sure, he’s “pissy” because Twitch Turbo, Prime and taking a cut of subs (on top of ad revenue and the rest) isn’t enough monetisation and people that do any one of the aforementioned (and even all three) are STILL seeing ads DESPITE no ads being the selling point of each.

Theoretically, nothing has changed. In fact, content creators on ANY platform (Twitch, Youtube, Facebook, Mixer) have always been responsible to obtain licenses for any copyrighted material they stream.
Music. Art. Even the games themselves, and yes, also for those that are deemed abandonware or which platforms and…

Hard disagree. The streamer’s brand is helped by associating with a known piece of pop culture, the clip. The clip is from another property that isn’t owned or licensed by the streamer. I’m not a lawyer, but going through the four factors of fair use, there’s not a hugely strong argument here.

So aside from Epic potentially actually feeling some pain, what has changed since the last court ruling that Apple has every right to toss Epic from their store?

He isn’t exactly asking for everyone... He is asking for himself and “hopes” it becomes open for others. He doesn’t care if it does or not. He gave them two weeks to decide, while they worked on all of this orchestrated BS. Epic is only interested in getting there first.

Pronounce Bay-Gull. 

There is a simple and disturbing reason why people behave the way they do. A teacher once showed a small group of us interested in science that human intelligence falls in the shape of a statistical bell curve. The middle is the highest and represents average intelligence most people have. To the left is lower…

I’m old enough to remember this, but it was a very different, far more innocent age.

It’s just bad marketing, and pretty offensive to large swaths of fans.

That wasn’t satire. the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues is satire.

Agreed, with the small caveat that I can’t think of a point in history when people didn’t have to be careful with satire. Satire generally rides a thin line. On one side is the risk that the satire become real; on the other is the risk that the satire earns quick disapproval. The sweet spot is somehow making fun of a…

“Usually anonymous” seems a little misleading. Virtually all tracking activity includes your IP address and other unique IDs which are not at all anonymous!

A few things here:

I still don’t get the Greta craze.

Its definitely more of a whole “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation, I’m just wondering if the exact same thing would have happened if one of the players ended their interview by shouting “Fuck Trump!” or something similar.

The window seat has the window. The aisle has extra elbow room. That’s why you pick either window or aisle. The middle seat is fucked.

The relationship is not glorified. It’s continually presented as horrifyingly unhealthy.
