"the cloud isn't tech it's a rental company" is a pretty dumb take tbh.

Like, if you're trying to argue that AWS (or gcp, azure) services don't provide technical solutions that aren't available otherwise you just don't know what you're talking about. Is it expensive, yeah it definitely can be. But cloud is much more than server rentals at this point. Want a host that gives you bare metal? Great there are 'rentals' to choose from. I can see arguing SaaS hasn't really 'tech', but PasS and IaaS provide technology and solutions to problems. I hate Daddy Jeff as much as the next guy but AWS is very much 'tech'.

I agree with the sentiment that his actions should preclude him from running, but felon disenfranchisement is something that isn't talked about nearly enough and I think it's absolutely insane so many people lose their RIGHT to vote.

You say everyone hates then but honestly it's really not true. Plenty of people are annoyed by ads, others tolerate them, sometimes people even enjoy them (see Superbowl shit or people sharing meme ads and commercials) and honestly that's part of the problem. Ads have been a part of so many people lives for so long they can't even imagine a world where they aren't constantly bombarded by ads and having them privacy exploited for corporate gains.

Personally I'm vehemently opposed to ads and go out of my way to block them in every way I can, but fundamentally many people don't see them as an issue or are too attached to the corporate teat to try voting with their wallet to suppress the problem.

racist, wife beating

What's with the redundancy?

Yeah but they're extremists and terrorists who want to control all aspects of the media, stop women from having rights over their bodies and return to their place in society serving men, criminalize everything that goes against their religious beliefs and restrict voting and democracy to preserve their 'values', carry guns with them everywhere and fanatically praise their leaders.

Err, there's some differences somewhere I'm sure..

even a conservative judge would have their hand forced by the law and public interest

Lol. Yeah, because the law and public interest has stopped them before.

It's for the person paying for the hosting and maintaining the server to decide what they want their server to do

When I see comments like this I always have to wonder.. so, you don't oppose the government using it's resources to support the well-being of it's citizens. So then what is making you conservative? Your desire to oppose other fundamental rights and liberties of others? Wanting corporations to continue to steal from the wealth of the many for the sake of unimaginable wealth for the few? A fear of others who freely exist with other values then your own and the inability to cope with their success? Or thrive in their perils as a way to compensate for the inadequacies you feel in your own life? The desire to maintain the status quo of women and minorities being subservient to old white men? To control other people's bodies or worrying an unhealthy amount about their genitals and what they do with them?

Idk, great question. Maybe it was the cult leader?

[Twice impeached, ex] president donald trump repeatedly said he wanted his supporters to fight Congress on accepting the electoral college results that showed Joe Biden won.

“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators, and congressmen and women,” Trump told his supporters shortly before the Capitol assault. “We’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”

The words Trump used to urge his supporters to show up and “fight” on his behalf Jan. 6.

'We will stop the steal' 'We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn't happen' "You will have an illegitimate president. That is what you will have, and we can't let that happen." 'If you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore'

“Let’s have trial by combat,” said Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, warming up the crowd for Trump.

Hmm. Who was leading this failed coup?

cries in proprietary

[–] sudo 6 points 1 year ago

The lawsuit against them is regarding allegedly using 'trade secrets' and proprietary assets from Nexon, where a number of the team members previously worked. After Nexon killed Project P3 the IRONMACE devs left the company and started their own game based on the premise of an extraction dungeon crawler. After seeing their early success in alpha, Nexon got jealous and sad so the submit a frivolous lawsuit with a cease and desist / DMCA takedown on DaD on Steam.

When claiming stolen assets in their initial filing, Nexon cited publicly purchased engine store assets which is obviously ridiculous.

Both IRONMACE and Nexon are based in Korea so they are still in their legal battle there and as such DaD isn't currently released in Korea. I guess the US case is either dismissed or at least the cease and desist was lifted.

Long story short, nothing to do with Bethesda or elder scrolls assets. IRONMACE made an awesome game and their old employer is sad they can't cash in on something they didn't contribute to at all. All my homies hate Nexon.
