How many embedded DRM-controlled news article videos are you watching on your living room tv though?

Obviously it’s only a fraction of the overall DRMed content out there but it exists, most notably for live sports that TV stations stream for free on their website but require paid subscriptions when using streaming apps.

Then I won’t watch those, simple as.

Doesn’t change facts for millions of others.

🏴‍☠️ Well 🏴‍☠️ I 🏴‍☠️ don’t 🏴‍☠️ care 🏴‍☠️

Random clips on the web are DRMed these days, like news articles with an embedded video. Many CMSes just DRM all clips. Totally BS but I’ve seen the video frame staying black on a bunch of sites now.

People who connect TVs to the Internet only invite malware. They usually don’t receive big fixes after a few years and tend to spy on all watched content.

Pretty sure DRMed content refuses to play on those.

If meeting sales projections fails, heads roll. Literally.

Generative works cannot be copyrighted

While that is generally true, a derivative work of a copyrighted work is usually copyrighted by the original author (see remixes of music where the remixer only partially owns a copyright for the remix but the original artist does as well). That is what makes generative AI so risky. A court could order “This is a automated modification of work XY, thereby the full copyright lies with the author of work XY.”

Then use a free OFL-licensed font. Or cooperate to commission your own fonts to share among this consortium.

Really a non-issue if you’re not stupid.

No, Fuchsia is a completely new OS, not using the Linux kernel at all.

damn, I was fine turning it down before finding out it had AI at the core.

“AI at its core” is a BS marketing phrase. Obviously there is no AI in the actual operating system core.

If the permission was necessary, the Flathub package would enable it by default. I can’t remember ever having a bad experience with the Flathub package.

When I first read that the ship a dedicated Distrobox container just for Steam, I was utterly confused as to what the benefit would be and I still cannot see it. Maybe the Bazzite developers dislike some of the restricted permissions of the Steam Flatpak or maybe they just want to package it on their own but the benefit for the user escapes me.

I’ve read another comment and then I realized it’s because of Bazzite’s Game Mode session. It’s a special login session and not just Steam in Big Picture Mode. Flatpaks cannot be used for this kind of specific use case.

I still had to go multi-arch on my x64 Debian system, leading to a lot of problems…

That’s what Flatpak is for. 32bit crap is moved into its own corner without interfering with any system level stuff.

(not super important but overlooked here) The “horse” is a woman

I’m sorry for accidentally misgendering a grown adult who’s still naked with a young girl riding on top. I guess that triggers a different fetish then.

(definitely important) The scene was only an unfinished scene still being worked out

True but they still thought it was a great idea to depict this scene and then only change their minds not because they realized their mistake but because it works better with an adult doing the riding story-wise.

I definitely think Valve should have handled this more fairly.

The reviewer asked for a playable copy after being unsure from screenshots and text alone. I think that’s pretty fair.

Never heard of them, nothing of value lost

Me neither but popular doesn’t necessarily good or unknown doesn’t mean bad but to first come up with a scene of a young girl riding a naked man, then to model this, and in al that time not thinking that this depiction is seriously fucked up (they only changed this scene later because the scene “works much better when delivered by an older character.”

moralists see nudity and think it can only represent sex - meanwhile, by the screenshots, it represents dehumanization.

Except in the review build submitted to Valve there was a young child riding that naked man.

Feels like some key piece of information is omitted here tbh

You mean the key information im the middle of the article that I quoted in a comment 15 minutes before yours?

In the early build reviewed by Valve, day six featured a scene in which a man and his young daughter visit the farm. The daughter wants to ride one of the horses, resulting in an interactive dialogue sequence where the girl rides on the shoulders of a naked “horse” while it’s led by the player.

Young girl interacts with naked man and you saw no problem with it…

“The scene is not sexual in any way,”

Maybe not to you but that doesn’t change the content of what you submitted to Valve.

the young character was changed into a twenty-something woman. “Both to avoid the juxtaposition,” it explains, “and more importantly because the dialogue delivered in that scene, which deals with the societal structure in the world of Horses, works much better when delivered by an older character.”

Cool, the review build still featured a young girl riding a naked man and you thought that was a great idea…

How is that an SoC feature?
