I don’t get your argument. So because it’s “new” according to your grand cosmic scale, it doesn’t exist at all?

You can say “I think intellectual property is a dumb idea” and I’d love to hear your arguments for that, but to act like it isn’t real just because we came up with the idea relatively recently, is just asinine.

Copyright has no basis in human culture or history.

It’s exited before any of us currently alive, so that’s a pretty absurd notion. Unless human culture and history ended ~300 years ago?

Unlike physical goods, information can flow and be copied freely at a fundamental physics level.

The electricity and silicon required to make this happen are not free, on a societal or physical level. There is a tangible cost to this transfer, even if you’re ignoring the social construct of copyright.

I think this issue comes from a misunderstanding of “free”, possibly conflating it for “trivially easy”.

Rather than develop a system that rewards digital artists based on how much something is used for free

Feel free to come up with such a system. I think you’ll find that a rather difficult task.

Its a scarcity based system

In what way?

but it is still not the same as stealing since it does not deprive the artists of their original copy.

The artist has ownership rights to all copies, not just the original; it’s literally in the word “copyright”.

Theft is more than just physically removing a non-fungible item. Depriving owed earnings is also considered theft, hence why piracy is considered theft because there is a debt owed for the pirated media. If you believe in wage theft, then you believe in IP theft.

Yeah, that’s what’s always bothered me about the drive for the highest-fidelity graphics possible. In motion, those details are only visible for a frame or two in most cases.

For instance, some of the PC mods I’ve seen for Cyberpunk 2077 look absolutely gorgeous… in screenshots. But once you get into a car and start driving or get into combat, it looks nearly indistinguishable from what I see playing the vanilla game on my PS5.

I’ve actually seen this recently at some stores, usually just for the self-checkout section.

But but but but but my shadows look 3% more realistic now!

I mean, a burst bladder is the currently-accepted cause of death. There were some suspicions that he was poisoned, but I believe they examined his remains multiple times and concluded that the burst bladder is the most likely explanation.

Now, whether that’s because he intentionally held it or had some other preexisting condition that caused his bladder to burst, may still be up for debate. But I’d have to imagine that if there were signs of any other causes, it would have been found in one of the exams they did. But the lack of any other medical evidence, combined with first-hand testimony, kinda only points to one reasonable explanation, which is that the story is true and his situation was a medical outlier.

I love how all of this was just to avoid asking a family member “hey can I change some settings on your router to fix the Wi-Fi?”

The lengths I’ll go to just to avoid human interaction. 🤣

Sometimes you just need to do some good old fashioned percussive maintenance. :)

My example: I fixed a wifi interference problem by adding more wifi interference.

I’m currently staying at a family member’s house for a few months, and need to use their wifi to work from home. After moving all my belongings in, I soon realized that I wouldn’t be able to work on this network, because of how intermittent the connection was. My phone, laptop, and PlayStation would all disconnect about once every 1-2 minutes. It was so severe that it took me over 2 hours to play a 40-minute video due to the consistent freezing.

And I guess everybody living here just must not use the internet that much, and have just kinda accepted this as a fact of life and nobody’s tried to fix it. This would be something I’d normally be able to resolve by myself, but because this isn’t a network I own and control, I’m not going to go changing their router settings. And since I’m a guest in this home, I’m not gonna go drilling holes to run ethernet to my room, either.

Using a wifi analyzer, I was able to spot the immediate issue: There were about 30 networks in the area mostly with pretty weak signal, but all on channels 6 and 11. There were only 2 networks using channel 1, and they were weak. The router I’m connecting to is also on channel 11, and I can tell right away that if I can get it to switch to channel 1, I’d be all set. But, since this isn’t my network, I can’t just tell the router to use channel 1, even though it should’ve automatically switched a long time ago. But it’s just a crappy ISP-provided router, so I can’t really expect much of it.

So I hatched up a plan, and took an old router of mine and piggybacked it to the router here at the house. My router uses a web app to control its settings, so all I needed was for the router to get an internet connection via ethernet and I could control it. Once my router was online, I was able to log into it and force it to use channel 11, the same channel as the home’s router.

The sudden appearance of a very strong connection on the same channel (since it’s placed just a few feet away) caused the home’s router to finally switch itself over to channel 1, which was still largely free of any signals. Now the router is working flawlessly, and all my devices, and everybody else’s at the house, are staying connected seamlessly.

I agree. I think a big part of the issue is that going out to do things is just so expensive these days. There aren’t any “third places” for people anymore.

Both, and also neither. The creator can have their own vision, the collective crowd can have their own, but you as an individual can have an interpretation outside of either of those. And none are any more valid than the rest.

Fuck off, liar.

This guy again.

EDIT: Can’t find a proper cache and the thread was deleted by OP and not mods so it doesn’t appear in the modlog, but Googling OP’s username brings up a snippet of his previous small-penis humiliation kink post: https://files.catbox.moe/kgbkzb.png

This is fake. OP makes new accounts all the time and posts humiliating questions in AskLemmy and NoStupidQuestions, making everybody else non-consenting participants in his sexual kink. This is the same guy who has made posts about having small feet and an engorged belly. He is getting off on people believing his bullshit.

Admins need to ban him from the instance completely.

Check out The Finals! It’s made by a bunch of ex-DICE devs who went and founded Embark Studios. Totally different vibe from Battlefield, but it still has the environment destruction and fine-tuned gunplay they’ve always been good at.

A possum.
