Pretty sure if someone publicly compromised TSS to that degree, people in the jailbreaking scene would be bouncing off the walls.

And here I am with a fresh iPhone 13 that I was hoping would come on 15.4.1, but actually came on 16.6. Staying put, hoping for a jailbreak one day.

In fact, you should feel no shame about actively preserving your particular copy of those games. You never know who has a release that has not been preserved. Piracy is preservation. The only reason works are preserved tomorrow, is because

Oh come on, as riddled with pitfalls as Unicode decoding is, you think it's an easter egg when the string "this app can break" or "hhhh hhh hhh hhhhh" can also trigger the bug?

The question is, essentially, "should bitmap fonts be copyrightable". In many jurisdictions, they are not. In the US, this has been black-letter law for several decades. A purely mechanical image reproduction of a typeface does no

Piracy is not theft. Theft requires the owner be deprived of the thieved property. Piracy does not do that. If a pirate duplicates a work, no lawful owner of a physical copy, nor rights holder, is deprived of that work. The rightsholders st

You would be incorrectly generalizing. I believe cash is a pillar of a stable society, and I also believe that the way most Western nations treat their homeless and poor is varying degrees of bad and disgusting.

This is a modern invention. Kids of that age routinely explored the world on their own in the before time. Then social media happened, and everyone thinks that everyone else is a risk. Everyone thinks they're doing good when they call

Quite honestly, I don't give a single fraction of a shit what the advertisers want. As someone with ADHD, I find their entire industry to be quite ableist towards myself and others for whom focus is fickle.

I was talking in a general sense there. Also, DC does have rights to past output, the "new" public domain rights are for the general public to create stories in the universe using the unique creative elements that Willingham for

It's not legal, but it's always moral to pirate the output of scumbag leeches.

It's the entire entertainment industry, and they've been doing this since the very beginning. Peak corporate entitlement on display.

Then perhaps a corporation should not legally be considered as a person, at any level of law.

Yet, that is what they are planning on doing.

They have literally said they're not going to do this because their install tracking does not give them any personally identifiable information.

by LocalH 3y ago
Unless they’ve walked it back, they even seem to be claiming that pirated installs will count. How is that even legal? It’s certainly not moral.

Few people who upload old video to YouTube have any clue what they’re doing, and even without the watermark, these videos were most likely not archive-quality. It’s exceedingly rare to see all 60 fields per second preserved.

Red is still a particularly hard color to accurately represent, just not as hard as it used to be. The bleeding and chroma crawl that is most visible in NTSC red, has been replaced with at best half chroma resolution, and depending on how t

"going to somewhere they don't need to" - that's a pretty poor threshold for whether a protest is reasonable or not.

AFAIK, C64 software cannot detect the difference between normal and warp mode in normal circumstances. Warp mode speeds up the emulation, but all of the internal timings are still accurate to the C64 in a relative sense.

I'd rather use their services and block their ads, if I'm honest. Ad supporters talk like blocking ads is literal theft , which is absolutely laughable. It's further away from theft than piracy, which is also in no way lite
