Perhaps there’s a danger that, by normalising self-identification as a thief, campaigns like this might have unanticipated societal results.

I’d hate to see shoplifting/burglary/mugging stats climbing in a few years time.

Ah yes, a statement on copyright thanking someone for buying an authorised edition of Great Expectations, a book whose copyright expired in 1940 at the latest…

Not that I disagree with the rest of your comment, but

No way any normal person would say no to 2mil.

No way would I want the stress or weight on my conscience of having just stolen 2 mil.

In my opinion, anyone who would take that money is the abnormal one.

I watched his Hit and Run remake videos from the beginning, and it’s not really about the end product - he made it clear from the beginning that that project was never going to be released.

Mostly, it seems to be about selling his “learn how to make Unreal games” courses and Unreal plugins.

The videos were fun in their own right, to be honest.

Just make sure to add comments like

//Magic, do not touch

To make sure no-one accidentally breaks the spell.

I feel personally attacked.

The quintessential Amiga controller for me was the Cheetah Bug.

I never really got controllers that were designed to sit on a desk. For me, I always held the controller in my left hand while holding onto the stick in my right hand.

Edge also supports uBlock Origin, but because it’s Chromium-based it faces the same issues as Chrome regarding Manifest V3.

Actually, you’re right, but it couldn’t be closer. The show starts at 5:02AM on his fiftieth birthday.

Walter was in his 40s at the beginning of the series.

Oh. I’ll be off then.😔

Can confirm, just checked Disney+, all the episodes are there as well as the Finnish dubs (at least in Finland).

I don’t know where you are, but it looks like Disney+ publishes all the dubs as alternate audio tracks so there’s a good chance you can get it from Disney+ as long as it’s available in your country.

I suppose it’s all a trade-off, and each of us has to try to make informed choices based on what matters most to them. I don’t think there’s a right answer.

Qwant sends data to Bing ads, and didn’t tell its users about it for five years.

Yandex is a Russian company with strong government links that I wouldn’t trust in any way.

Bing Chat is great, and at work we use M365, so I can easily search for work content through Bing too.

Bing Rewards are also a nice bonus.

I think this is what other people have observed in that it currently still works when you’re not signed in. I’m sure reddit will “fix” this soon, assuming they want to stop people scraping data using the API.

I wonder if it would be possible to create an explicitly ad-supported instance of Lemmy that would insert unobtrusive ads into its feeds.

I do think there could be an audience for that if it meant the instance was reliable, performant and well moderated.

When you say karma, do you mean having visible post/comment scores or visible total user scores - or both?

I can see the argument against visible post scores as it can lead to dogpiling, but I do think it can provide a valuable indication for what the community consensus is around that post.

Regarding total user scores, I don’t see the harm at all.

Personally, I quite liked the feedback karma gave on Reddit.
