I had my ebay account restricted the same day I made it. Was really confused and frustrated as I had made the account to buy something

So I just made another account with my same email address just without any periods, have had that account for years. Still no idea why I was restricted at all the first time and not the second…

Gin? Genetics? Giant?

Do you pronounce Origin like Oregon?

I personally find arguing pronunciation as entirely pointless when there are many words in English that get pronounced different based on a multitude of factors.

People also like to argue it’s an acronym, but do you pronounce NASA the same as you pronounce the first letter of each word of National Aeronautics and Space Administration?

Honestly? Just say it how it makes sense to you.

My argument against this is that at least I own a license to the game rather than just a subscription. Steam still has and updates games that were made unpurchasable a decade ago. Hell, people still play rocket league on steam.

This is a separate argument altogether. Theres “own physically” and theres “own a license” to. If you own it physically and your physical media corrupts (which happens often to digital discs) did you own it any more than if you had it on steam? It’s also illegal to make a copy of a console disc, btw.

What the article is talking about is not even obtaining a license for at all and games just being attached to a subscription

I find tracking all individuals way more dangerous long term than the effects of unmediated internet use.

Parents should be more involved in children’s digital use.

Does outlawing Marijuana stop minors from accessing it? No, I started smoking young. Does requiring an ID stop minors from drinking alcohol? I’m sure many of you will attest to underage drinking

However, tracking everyone doing everything, tracking whatever they say whatever they look at. That impacts everyone, not just minors.

I think it’s one of those things to purposely craft a point of engagement. Now you’ve made a comment about it

You can play it on your phone now days, with mods even

I’ve been seeing a lot of morrowind references recently

Ah, I missed this somehow when digging through the git page

Thank you

I’ve looked into Code Server, which is a github project I’ve found for self hosting VS Code, but it only works on Linux

Are you saying VS Code itself has a built in self hostable option?

I really have to thank you for an educated response

And that’s the issue I in particular have. It’s a double standard and not only that, they’re using it to generate money for their own tools

It’s not the same as some kid pirating photoshop to play around with, or a couple who is curious about GOT and want to watch it without paying HBO.

This is a separate issue and I hate that this place is so reddit like that trying to talk about it gets “hurrr dur I guess you’re mad because AI and meta are just the current hate train circle jerk hurrr i form my own opinions hurr”

Like, no, I’m upset because this is a whole new topic of piracy use.

Meta stealing intellectual property and utilizing it for corporate gain is not the same as normal users pirating content. They are so far apart that it warrants its own discussion and cannot be lumped in together.

That’s not the take away you should be having here, it’s that a mega Corp felt that they should be allowed to create new content from someone else’s work, both without their permission and without paying

Prime because I work in a remote area and buy a lot of Amazon, and HBO Max because one day my cell phone carrier decided to give it to me for no extra charge on my plan.

I use Jellyfin and torrents for the rest.

My comment was more a rebuke at the headline than the article

Why would we have eyes on something that won’t be reasonably useful for years?

How many of your devices actually support this?

I think it’ll be 90% idiocracy and 10% Capitalist Star Trek
