randomthin2332@lemmy.worldto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Why is it legal to buy and sell used books/discs but illegal to buy and sell used digital files?English67·1 year agoThere’s a few things about this
- Many times you don’t own the digital good, you subscribe to it. No I’m not joking, that’s why services can usually take it away at any time. You normally own “a licence to play it on a single PC” or similar.
- This isnt apples to oranges per se. Selling digital goods is fine, it’s copying it. Similar to how photocopying a book and selling it would not be okay.
- It’s important to note there is a narrative push by companies too. They spend lots of money putting videos on every DVD saying “downloading is stealing” because if society thinks piracy and stealing is the same, it helps them litigate and make more money.
- Your idea of a lost sale is a hard one, from a media company point of view, it’s about making money. So if you can make people believe “a download is a lost sale” or “sharing a digital file is a lot sale” etc, then you can use that to sue individuals, isps, sharing sites, search engines etc and make more and more money while also having more power over your product.
randomthin2332@lemmy.worldto [Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•fucking jobsEnglish7·2 years agoLol I did not expect to see fucking Whyalla on here. Do a beachey! (They literally drive to the beach and back home LOL).
I always recommend connected airline when going through Alice/Whyalla because a fuck load of flights have been removed (rex?) and the Alice run was one of the typical ones Qantas allegedly was selling tickets for when no flight existed (and they’d swap you onto another one).
randomthin2332@lemmy.worldto Australia@aussie.zone•Brad Pitt in a chicken suit and rating friends: jobseekers believed ‘condescending’ courses required to get payments4·2 years agoWas in Centrelink, the courses are typically “how to write a resume” or “how to do a job search”, typically something quite generic and usually simple as it needs to cover all walks in life.
You typically aren’t told that you can sometimes apply for actual courses because it seems like their goal/kpi is based on getting any job asap not on you studying for the next 6 months.
randomthin2332@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something small you can do almost (if not everyday) to improve on yourself?2·2 years agoI have this habit too, it’s like a thought bubble in my head that adds context on top of the original sentence. I wonder if it’s a trait for something but never thought it might be programming related.
randomthin2332@lemmy.worldto Starfield@lemmy.zip•Does anyone else get the feeling the pronouns option was just bait?English2·2 years agoHonestly I feel like that’s probably just to save cost from getting multiple takes of the same audio. Make it generic where possible.
But I do feel the pronoun is similar to my character design. Something I chose at the beginning of the game, and hardly noticed ever again.
randomthin2332@lemmy.worldto Starfield@lemmy.zip•i still cant get over how PG the Astral Lounge is.English4·2 years agoI thought it was hilarious to be honest. The game spent so long telling me about how anything goes in Neon, and how it’s such a crazy place and people can do anything like some party planet. And astral lounge to be the Pinacle of that party planet full of possible debauchery.
I legit took my time before going there for an interesting crazy reveal.
And it’s just some random place with neon signs and a club that is less risque then walking down the street.
!I couldn’t believe Todd got me again!<
randomthin2332@lemmy.worldto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•If forced to choose one retro console forever what would you choose and why?English3·2 years agoAt some point, all consoles will be retro consoles :p
!Gameboy Advance, just so many great games I’m still to play!<
randomthin2332@lemmy.worldto uBlockOrigin@lemmy.ml•Is blocking 3rd party scripts and frames worth the hassle?9·2 years agoEnd of the day it kind of comes down to you. We’re typically trying to choose between privacy and functionality to get a good balance. But many companies have realised that they can wear you down if they try.
Think of the cookies law, it’s meant to make sure you can easily stop websites from using cookies to track you if that is your decision. Instead companies make it so toxic and hard that most people just click accept.
For me, I’m even more likely to use blocks on websites that try to get around it, because I thinkt they deserve revenue even less. But for you it might make a world of difference to just be able to open up a page without hassle and be less annoying then an actual ad.
He’s the one who put up the flyer (hammered the flyer up with a nail)
randomthin2332@lemmy.worldto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Sydney Metro: From North Sydney to Barangaroo in under three minutesEnglish2·2 years agoSort of, the metro line started with Epping to Chatswood (that’s how I see it anyway) which to be fair is still fairly rich. You’re right that north Sydney to brangaroo are like the rich rich area.
There is more lines coming though, one from Westmead (west) to the city, and another way further west (st Mary’s) to the new airport line.
You’re right though, that west doesn’t always get the best. And as someone who used to work city to Chatswood the train was typically better and less issues then when I worked out west (Parra).
randomthin2332@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which video game did you bounce off of at first, but then tried again later for it to become one of your favorites of all time?4·2 years agoMass effect
Tried it twice and thought it was soooo boring. Then one day I figured I’d give it a final go and omg I fell in love with the whole franchise.
randomthin2332@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk vows ‘thermonuclear lawsuit’ as advertisers flee X over antisemitismEnglish522·2 years agoEh you spend your whole life getting away with anything because you have the money, you end up starting to believe your own bullshit.
One of the reasons so many people are rich is because they make money off the smart or the hard working. You never do the work yourself because you legitimately aren’t the best person for the job.
I think Elon bought in too much during the wave of “I’m a tech genius who put a car in space, make electric cars and spaceships” and I think he actually believes he did that instead of the countless and thankless hours of all the real professionals.
The problem with this thinking, is now he feels like he ^needs to do something. Just like that micromanaging boss who doesn’t help at all and just spouts random nonsense thinking it will magically make it go faster. But instead he’s just self sabotaging the process.
This is what happens when you start to believe your own bullshit. If he was smart, he should walk away and let the professionals handle it.
