Keep in my that “ingredients to a recipe” here refers to the literal physical ingredients, based on the context of the OP (where a sandwich shop owner can’t afford to pay for their cheese).

While you can’t copyright a recipe, you can patent the ingredients themselves, especially if you had a hand in doing R&D to create it. See PepsiCo sues four Indian farmers for using its patented Lay’s potatoes.

Wake me up when the “Congress” actually decides to take actions not just ask “questions” after the damage is done and money is made.

Right. Into Cryo-Sleep you go, then!

The post made me look him up (it’s been years since I’ve seen him in anything) and I just learned that good ol’ Lyle McDouchebag was a voice actor in Class of '09. TIL.

Sorry, I didn’t realize you were exclusively arguing in bad faith/trolling. I’ll stop responding.

You’re the one that decided an entire culture of thinking, feeling people are born objectively evil and can be killed en masse. And that’s fucked up.

I think that’s where the issue falls apart. You want them to be thinking feeling people who can change. They don’t have to be. If an evil deity creates Goblins, and makes them evil for whatever reason, they can inherently lack the ability to freely think and evolve.

And there’s nothing “fucked up” about it.

Look at some villains who are just objectively evil. People point-out the Adventure Time Lich all the time, and that thing is just evil. There’s no point trying to argue with it. No point trying to convince it to right its wrongs. It doesn’t care, because it’s just evil.

Why should a group defined by plundering travelers be more acceptable than a group defined by being short with green skin?

Because in a fantasy world, where we can know for 100% certainty that gods created life, it’s not impossible for those gods to have made a certain creature type objectively evil.

In some settings, Orcs are the way they are because their god is the last one to pick a place for them to live, gets pissy, and decides that “Fuck you guys! If that’s how you want to play it, my orcs are going to plunder the shit out of your guys’ lands!”

In other settings, there has to be some kind of cosmic balance to things, and some gods are just evil because there has to be a natural counterpart to good, and so the creatures they create are just inherently evil.

I think the issue is with this kind of debate is that that it’s referred to as “race”. We don’t really have a one-for-one on this IRL (because Goblins don’t exist) and we don’t refer to animals as “different races”.

That’s the issue, Musk and all think they are the resistance.

Pretty sure Stephanie was saying the people still using Twitter love to think they’d join the resistance, but won’t even stop using Twitter. Not that Elon thinks he’s the resistance.

Depends on the features.

Git has some counterintuitive commands for some commands you may want to do when you want to quickly do something. Being able to click a button and have the IDE remember the syntax for you is nice.

Some IDEs have extra non-native Git features like have inlined “git blame” outputs as you edit (easily see a commit message per-line, see who changed what, etc.), better diff/merge tooling (JetBrain’s merge tool comes to mind), being able to revert parts of the file instead of the whole file, etc.

the git integration in vscode which I discarded after few attempts to use

I’m going to be honest, I don’t really like VS Code’s Git integration either. I find it clunky and opinionated with shitty opinions.

There’s also the Hollywood celebrities episode. Tom Cruise is canonically in space in South Park. You just wouldn’t really know why unless you saw the banned episodes.

Yeah. I legally owned most of the seasons of South Park. Then their parent company was sold to whoever owns Paramount+ and I can’t legally buy seasons anymore. I have to subscribe to Paramount+ instead. I’m just gonna pirate that shit.

While I agree with most of what you’re saying, it’s also stupid to blame Microsoft for breaking your computer if you forcefully uninstall the Windows store, despite the fact that it’s needed for parts of certain updates.

A lot of the “debloaters” have no fucking idea what they’re actually doing and are uninstalling/disabling critical parts of the OS so the task manager shows less RAM usage (because God forbid you actually use your damn RAM).

You don’t find it at all suspicious that they claim releasing backend code would make it less secure? What kind of security product is not open for inspection?

No, because Proton has 3rd party audits all the time and they share the results openly.

Then it’s a good thing all of their products are fully functional and working as advertised, I guess.

Today we’re announcing a new end-to-end encrypted, collaborative document editor that puts your privacy first. Docs in Proton Drive are built on the same privacy and security principles as all our services, starting with end-to-end encryption. Docs let you collaborate in real time, leave comments, add photos, and store your files securely. Best of all, it’s all private — even keystrokes and cursor movements are encrypted.

Literally the second paragraph of the post (but I’m sure you haven’t read it, since you seem so busy replying to every comment here about how Proton is becoming Microsoft or something).

Let’s be real, using Excel as a makeshift database is probably still better than actually using Access lol

They can’t finish a single solution

Gee, it’s almost as if that’s the whole point of an ever-evolving SaaS platform.

Doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo, rii tii tii tiiiii

Their outside communication is nonexistent at best

Eh, they’re decently active on Reddit, I guess. They send the occasional newsletter regarding new features if you don’t unsubscribe (and they’re pretty good at not spamming with those, imo).

development speed is unbearably slow

I see people say this all the time, and while feature updates are kind of slow, I’m also not lacking anything, personally. I would appreciate it if they smoothed-out SimpleLogin’s extension, though. That thing is weirdly clunky to use.

Agree on the Linux bit, though. I’m surprised they haven’t put more work into that.

Overall, I’ve been a happy customer for a few years, personally.

I guess they could prevent you from doing that by:

• Creating a timestamp
• Sending you the ad
• Refuse to send you the rest of the stream until “Now - Timestamp >= Ad’s runtime”

Yeah, if you listen to any content creator talk about sponsorship revenues it basically eclipses all other form of revenue for them.

I think it was Pokimane who got tired of people donating money and then being assholes if she wasn’t basically gushing over them for hours, so she just went “You know what, I don’t actually need your Twitch dontations.” and just turned them off.

Content creators make thousands of dollars per sponsorship deal minimum if they have a decent amount of viewers. Bigger creators like Ludwig get millions for some deals (Redbull gives him a crapload of money for product placement, for example).
