This has not been determined in courts and your willingness to speak so confidently about it speaks volumes.

The overt hatred people here feel for Russians would make an antisemite blush. This is on the same level as calling random people Schlomo.

This is just being intentionally obtuse. Everyone knows that 65% generally means the game doesn't even run on most devices, crashes constantly, or has some other serious flaw. Ridiculous.

What is the connection between these two statements? Are we supposed to presume that someone who apologizes on Bluesky should never be fired? Or did you also read the article and thought this was important information?

This is a great illustration that nothing you ever do will be good enough without people whining.

Meta did this and got caught. It's one search away. Did you make chatgpt write all that gibberish?

We need a "come on" clause for these absurd headlines. Come on.

Do citizen Venezuelans want gang members here just because they share the same homeland?

Companies need to be reminded that their operation is subject to our own ToS, the law, and it supercedes theirs. We can change it at any time and the sycophants defending any legal behavior aren't winning any favors. The behavior you see on HN playing defense for violations of privacy is disgusting, but I'm glad it's out in the open for everyone to see how far they'll go.

They exist because they've embedded themselves in the process and are hard to get rid of. If you want to buy a specific house it's already set up for you to find a realtor and the homeowner has already agreed to pay them a fat stack of cash. I needed a realtor to send an email, he dragged his feet then went on vacation, and I ended up overpaying to beat offers that showed up later. Rent seekers.

I can't stand these one like twitter-style bitchposts. It already starts off obnoxious and sarcastic, and for what, defending Rockstar from the evils of Dreamcast homebrew?

Comments like yours are why ycombinator has a horrible reputation. It's a worthless dismissive truism to shut down a legitimate complaint from a creator who is being screwed around by bad laws and bad applications of bad laws. Yes, we know we don't have rights, that's why we're complaining.

Are we trying out car analogies? How about instead of backup cameras, which are consistent and provide extra information, you have a camera that randomly guesses things around your car? Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wildly wrong, but mostly it doesn't affect your driving speed.
