Given that everyone’s first assumption is that it’s about the US Supreme Court, obviously no. You have to meet people where they are.
Even for domestic US news, the same shit happens for state versus federal governments. Sometimes on websites that namedrop cities and politicians but don’t bother mentioning what fucking state they’re in.
As if misleading headlines are the audience’s fault.
“What if we redid the skeezy camera that nearly killed the Xbone, but pointed it at your children? We expect to sell one billion units.”
Yeah good luck with that.
Folks, they train on Disney movies. Intellectual property is not a factor.
“Ice Weasel. Love is the everchanging spectrum of a lie.”
Mozilla has been kinda stupid since the browser was also called Mozilla.
Nooo don’t you know this is fundamentally different from manually photoshopping the same joke?!
Confused, full of cheese, unsure of the day of the week
Coming Spring 2034.
Iteration is innovation.
Even combining existing ideas can explore and refine a genre.
That mushroom was load-bearing!
If you also named a project, you solved both hard problems.
Lucille: “I don’t care for Tetris.bas.”
Software path-tracing has been on my bucket list, mostly to test a concept: physically based instant radiosity. If an eye-ray goes camera, A, B, C, then the light C->B forms an anisotropic point source. The material at B scatters light from C directly into onscreen geometry. This allows cheating akin to photon mapping, where you assume nearby pixels are also visible to B. Low-frequency lighting should look decent at much less than one sample per pixel.
It doesn’t use any mappers or added chips. There’s quicksaves, a level editor. jump-in two-player co-op, and SNES mouse support.
I have not been arsed to add music.
All both of them?
Or like a hundred million?
Sony pulls this shit with every new Playstation, through the ingenious and difficult process of not making enough. “PS3 sold out at launch! New shipment sold out again! And again!” Meanwhile they’d moved fewer total units than the 360 in the same timeframe, but Microsoft made one big shipment instead of three small ones.
I guarantee you’ve been unironically smug about “only a sith deals in absolutes.”
Fuck software patents.
Copyright made sense when it was a decade or two. Industrial patents seem basically functional. Trademark’s mostly truth-in-advertising for consumer choice.
But software patents aren’t about how you do something - they’re claiming the entire concept, in the broadest possible terms, and killing it. Straight-up murdering that potential. It is denied the necessary iterative competition that turns dogshit first implementations into must-have features. Nobody’s gonna care in twenty years.
Entire hardware form-factors have come and gone in a single decade. Can you imagine if swipe keyboards were still single-vendor, and still worked like in 2009? Or maybe Apple bought them, and endlessly bragged about how Android can’t do [blank], because fifty thousand dollars changed hands in the 3G era.
How many games would not exist, if Nintendo had decided they own sidescrollers? A whole genre, wiped out, because a piece of paper says those mechanics are theft.
I think the majority of Lemmy users are American or expect American news to dominate. The thing you’re complaining about only happens because of that.
