What else are you gonna call selling someone's digital identity?

You're just a PR pawn for Twitter, but you're not intelligent enough to realize it.

The only person here being an idiot is you and those like you. Y'all think sticking your head in the sand will somehow make it all go away. Like it or not the shithead owns Twitter. Like it or not he's one of the richest people on the planet. Like it or not that makes his petty ass extremely powerful. Like it or not there are retards who take digital identies seriously and won't accept the line of "that isn't me, Twitter must've sold my account" as an excuse when a username you use elsewhere suddenly starts spouting neonazi propaganda.

Also I hope y'all are happy with this type of behavior because this kind of toxic behavior will kill lemmy in the long run, just like it killed every other Reddit alternative.. Y'all make Reddit seem downright positive.

What the fuck? What kind of simp would call the person they are allegedly dumping for an asshole?

All I said was that just because we hate him doesn't make news about him "spam".

So you think Musk ordering Twitter to engage in legal identity theft and selling user accounts like a hacker would is somehow a good look?

The only spam I see are the comments like this underneath every post referring to the one richest douche-bros on the planet. We get it. You hate the dude, but like it or not what he does has actual ramifications on real people and corporations. That makes him and his actions newsworthy.. Screaming on Lemmy about how you'd like to be an ostrich and stick your head in the sand till he goes away isn't gonna change that fact.

Unfortunately the US government already took note ages ago. Cross-Industry and general strikes are illegal in the USA.. This kinda thing can't happen here.

Not just that, but they get to charge $100 dollars more for the $5 of ROM while avoiding the support costs and reputation hit of idiots who force the SD card in the wrong way or blaming the device when the SD card is inevitably sheered in half after being forgotten about during a battery replacement.

Unfortunately every market incentive just aligns against expandable storage in phones.

I wish it was just the US copyright system that's the problem, some nations have worse copyright laws. In France for example architecture can have copyright, and renovations have a separate copyright from the original architecture.. The lights on the Eiffel Tower have a separate copyright from the Eiffel Tower itself, which is currently in the public domain. So while it's completely fine to take a photo of the Tower during the day at night you need to have permission from the copyright holder, and they have taken action against people who have taken photos of the Tower at night.

Then there are some nations where there isn't even a public domain and stuff never loses their copyright.

Many of these worse laws have been driven by US and EU trade policies and Trade Agreements mandating draconian copyright and intellectual property laws.

Copyright laws are just a nightmare writ large.

People probably took that as a passive aggressive attack against the app and a show of support for Google/YouTube's ad blocking policies. Try not to take it personally, people round here and back on Reddit always have their hackles permanently raised when it comes to issues like these.

Given that this is kingdom hearts and multiple worlds exist in that franchise and its possible to travel between them it's possible to have 'travel the world without leaving your home" and still make it so that the full game is only playable with GPS location. All they'd have to do is tie physical locations to worlds in game but then make those worlds navigable without requiring the user to move.

It says in the article why

The new game is a GPS based Action RPG with a new story that builds on the Kingdom Hearts storyline.. While the new game isn’t an AR title, it does use a player’s real-life location to figure out their location in the game’s map.

They do. And blocking ads in ad based services also violates the play store ToS.. No idea how GreyJey got passed Google's censors.

why the hell can't I watch with subtitles in the same language as the film itself? Holy fuck.

Probably because the subtitles have their own copyright separate from the film itself and Amazon likely doesn't have the license to the English subtitles outside of the USA. It wouldn't surprise me, music lyrics have their own separate copyright from the recording after all.

The copyright system is the biggest problem here. It simply isn't fit for purpose in the digital age, unless that purpose was to benefit a handful of legacy mega corps while harming independent content creators and stifling culture across the globe.
