Not quite, but pretty close. You still hold copyrights in anything protected by copyright for example. They just have a perpetual license to use your work. We really ought to be working on laws to protect privacy and limit corp content piracy without explicitly clear opt-ins.
He misspoke.
He meant “total genocide.”
Ah yes. Hasbro, whose executives are raking in millions, have just laid off 1100 people two weeks before Christmas because “they gotta get leaner.”
Hasbro, who tried to renege on the OGL.
Unsurprising. A shame they own D&D.
Never was there a more appropriately named CEO.
Israel is not a protectorate of the US but an independent and democratic country whose citizens are the ones who choose the government
Okay cool, can we stop supplying weapons and Intel now?
I’d be interested in seeing the number of E2EE enabled accounts used for criminal activity versus the number of regular ol’ free Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook etc accounts. Governments absolutely have a hate-on for E2EE, so the police calling out these services specifically raises questions of motive.
Not that we should not be shutting down criminals… but this sort of framing tends to suggest that E2EE services are inherently criminal enabling, and that does not feel like a mistake.
Oh, so he only wanted to be a dictator for the FIRST day. Got it, sir.
That anyone supports this fetid fecal stain is beyond my comprehension.
As we look at usage of that and the number of people that were redeeming those and using them, it was just not a feature that was available in Crunchyroll and isn’t in our roadmap.
I’ll translate corporate dickhead for those in need.
“We determined that the number of people who would be impacted would be low enough to avoid real blowback, so we decided to fuck those people in the Crunchyroll with a rusty Buster Sword because really, who cares what some anime nerd thinks anyway?”
Ideally, they would be forced to honor the “forever” promise in perpetuity. Alternately, forcing them to issue physical copies of equivalent quality to every impacted customer for every title they were to have “forever” access to would be reasonable. Plus, you know, a massive ‘acting like complete dicks’ penalty for trying to pull this nonsense.
Probably the most relevant line in the entire article:
a series of polls have suggested Biden will narrowly beat Trump in the November vote. But with eight months to go, and the polls so tight, this could change and a number of polls have also indicated that Trump will win the election.
Whether Biden wins or loses is going to come down to how well he engages people in key states. Outside of the “blue no matter who” crowd, people have decidedly mixed feelings about voting for a candidate whose strongest argument is that he isn’t Trump. Everything from events in the weeks leading up to the election to the weather (which affects Dems more than Reps) will matter, so rather than leaning on polls that suggest a victory… it might be wise to end those behaviors and policies that have human rights advocates concerned.
