This from the company that bought Rocket League then removed the Linux support that it already had :thinking face:
Honestly I'm kinda impressed with it. It's a reference to the iconic apple super bowl add from 1984
Knowing hellworld this is probably the catalyst for what will escalate into a William Gibson style Corporate War that will consume the whole planet
I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself - we are creatures that should not exist by natural law... We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, that accretion of sensory experience and feelings, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everbody's nobody... I think the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our programming. Stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction - one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.

I have to say, I'm really thankful we can actually talk about these things with libs jumping in and being stupid.
I'm of the opinion that we should instead focus on harm reduction and knowledge gathering. I think we should become a scholar-artist species that spends its time trying to learn everything about the universe.
I think that is what we call communism/anarchism and that socialism is the way to achieve that.
Gotta love getting children to support your side in a lawsuit between billion dollar companies over a videogame
I don't care enough to look it up, if anyone knows, why did Apple block Fortnite?
Does Epic not want to pay Apple it's enormous share or what is going on?Pretty much. To avoid paying Apple 30% of all digital transactions in Fortnite they introduced a direct payment option in-app that allows you to pay via your Epic account (that you use to log in and links to their online store). Apple reacted predictably. Epic seems to be trying to raise an army of online Zoomer kiddies to fight their PR war with Apple.
Understandably, it is pretty outrageous the money Apple rakes in with this.
Good that finally someone pushes back on that shit.It's the classic capitalist catch 22. Someone should absolutely push back on things like this but the only ones with the power to do so are other corporate megaliths that aren't much better.
I will never support ep*c after they snitched on me to my isp for torrenting unreal
When you torrent you essentially make your IP visible to anyone else who is downloading/seeding that content. To get around this, people get VPNs or seedboxes to hide their IP, or only download from a private tracker.
they sent a DMCA notice to my ISP who then told me to knock it off or they'll cut off my service. The game was just alright, I don't think I'll be replaying it any time soon, but I'll be keeping the file for the rest of my life out of spite.
So their software somehow detected that you were torrenting something illegal? Sounds kinda very invasive to me. I won't be running their shit anytime soon that's for sure.
no, the public nature of torrents lets anyone see who is downloading any torrent, as long as you have access to that tracker, which everyone does in the case of public trackers (you can even see this yourself with most torrent clients). they then take that list of IPs, find what ISP owns each, and tells them "at this time and date the user with this IP downloaded our content illegally, please do something about it." fortunately most ISPs don't actually give a shit since they're more interested in collecting service fees than banning users; their only obligation is to notify the customer every time this happens, and disconnect service if it happens a certain number of times.
They might have run their own torrent like a honeypot? Idk
