Journalism has been dead for ages. Now, satire (like The Onion), that's informative.

This is felony level bait-and-switch going on, here. This really should have criminal charges attached to the perpetrators.

Lots of pro-Russia bots in here pretending to be concerned about ~~their sudden inability to sneak backdoors into the kernel~~open source.

  1. It came with the machine.

  2. There are a few things that still don't quite work as good in Linux.

Now that I think about it, the cause-and-effect here is probably being viewed all wrong.

What likely happens is that a game comes out to overwhelming expectations, and the greater those player expectations are met, the more word-of-mouth gets around about the game. Thus, games that deserve to do well make more money, and pirates are less motivated to work on a crack right away.

If player expectations are not being met, the less success the game receives, and the more motivated pirates are to crack it (driven by their disgust at bad software).

The above scenarios probably do a good job of accounting for 20% of the revenue for a game.

Degenerate robosexuals isn't something to get your panties in a bunch about. The real worry is when people modify the useful chatbots to provide more interesting insights into creative sexuality. There's a subject braindead journos can't even contemplate, yet I doubt I'm the only one thinking about it.

I still love Ubuntu, but I understand people who hate it. Ubuntu definitely ain't for everyone.

It's not.

The 5th Circuit remanded the case to the district court for a new trial on damages. Record labels can expect a lower payout because the appeals court said they can't obtain separate damages awards for multiple songs on the same album.

Denuvo is worthless after a maximum of 12 weeks, is basically all this proves. Who knows the minimum.

Here's the thing, though. Even if Trump somehow won the election, Elon Musk will still likely get indicted and get stabbed in the back by Trump. That's kind of his thing. Trump doesn't care about anybody but himself.
