That's the whole thing about browser fingerprinting too. Take the set of internet users who have a particular version of a particular operating system, a particular version of a particular browser, having a particular set of typefaces installed, having a particular language preference, and you'll find yourself in the intersection of all of them.

I know. Rockstar acquired the rights to Max Payne at some point before releasing Max Payne 3. Remedy couldn't just include a character they didn't own, but they couldn't stop Sam Lake being Sam Lake either. Plus Casey being the knock-off of two out-of-universe characters is funny.

Wait, hang the fuck on...

the ease in bypassing software that restricts their speed to the legal limit.

As opposed to the insurmountable difficulty of pressing the car's accelerator pedal a bit harder?

it's okay, just tell the AI to reproduce that image one-to-one. The result definitely doesn't have enough human authorship to qualify for protection.

Philip Banks

Ah crap, it's real. Banks wants to empty the banks, fill our streets with banks, and run a bank making operation out of his banks.

Alan Wake, Control, and especially Alan Wake 2. AW2 even has a legally distinct Max Payne with both the likeness and the voice of the original.

Doesn't mean they stopped pushing their own shit in places that they have no business touching. I mean:

> apt install firefox
> look inside
> snap

And then there's Ubuntu Pro. https://feddit.org/comment/2001630

(edit) I just realized that I could've expressed the first point using proper English, but my idiot brain immediately chose memes. I think I'm beyond help.

They also make it unreasonably difficult to move a wiki to another platform, even if the wiki's owners and the community want it.

I recently discovered that you can paste image data from your clipboard to a post or comment field, and it will upload the data and generate an embed link. I assume, since the clipboard is ephemeral, that the data is uploaded and stored on the server immediately.

What happens then if the embed link is removed and never used, but the file isn't deleted by the user? Does it just sit around in storage, collecting dust and taking up space, or is there some sort of garbage collection that detects unused files? What happens to embedded files if the post/comment where it is embedded gets deleted?

It might not look like anything special, but I spent an embarrassing number of hours on this rice, mostly on the non-graphical user interactions. The layout is a custom master-stack implementation, the groupbox widget is an almost complete reimplementation to support a more flexible styling on multihead systems, the Nvidia GPU monitor widget is completely my own, there are popups and context menus out the ass, and there is a persistence module that saves dynamic data (like layouts and group names) between sessions.

Tomorrow I'm moving to Wayland and I might not have the patience to get Qtile running again.
