Yes, a few: In late 2017 and early 2018, I started to learn sleight-of-hand card magic and am now able to perform a number of illusions and flourishes. I'm not particularly great at it, but its enough to entertain most people a little.

If the first one wins, that would mean that if an artist produced something, someone else makes an NFT even though they don’t actually own the art, then sometime later the artist wants to create their NFT, they’d be shit out of luck.

So you have two unique NFT's claiming ownership of the same piece of art or tweet or whatever. Maybe on different blockchains, maybe not. Now what? Which one is the "real" one that conveys said ownership? How do you prove whi

So just create your own NFT that claims you paid $10k, without actually paying $10k. That's the problem with this, there is no authority regulating which NFT's were created "correctly" and which aren't. For example,

An NFT halting problem? The NFT points to a thing that only exists if the NFT doesn’t point to it, or something.

So? If they sub contract the work out to someone else, they are still the ones ultimately responsible.

My cognition right after the gym isn’t great, I find I basically need to switch off for a while and relax. But my cognition the next day seems improved if I go to the gym.

My contracts either stipulated set work hours or was contract work for which I billed for the hours. If the project is completed outside of the stipulated work hours or not billed for and not using company resources such as computers, then

For work sure, but it also sounds to me that it was built during personal time. If I use my own time to make something, work isn’t getting it without paying for it. I don’t care what the contract says about personal projects (although I‘ve

I looked into Decentraland about a month ago (because someone I know was going on about it) and to me it looked like what I remember Cybertown [1] was circa 2000, except with NFT's. I wasn't very impressed, even visually, it looke

So? If google arranged that on their behalf, its google's responsibility. Doesn't matter who they subcontract or delegate to.

Yes. DRM always hurts the legitimate users more than the "pirates". Same with disabling right click or otherwise trying to prevent downloading images.

And even if they figured out some DRM method to prevent screenshotting/screen recording, I can still point my phone camera at my monitor and capture it that way, if I really want to. There is always a way around whatever they try to do

Also not a car: I have a speaker bar and the touch volume controls drive me crazy to the point that I've decided I will never again buy a soundsystem without proper buttons or knobs for volume.

I personally don’t play many, but generally you won’t see any performance difference. Do check ProtonDB to see if the ones you have in mind work as expected. Typically games that are rated platinum work as well as on Windows, Gold typically

Dunno what you mean by peripherals, at least ones that don't work on Linux, but the other two categories work just fine. Gaming has come a long way thanks to Valve and their work on Proton.
