This is not about the legality of emulation, unfortunately, but about whether people have the rights to publish lets plays without a license.

Many suits in the gaming industry see lets plays as theft. They see people making money using their games and believe lets players should have to pay to license thst content, and that they should have the right to revoke that license if they don't like what people are saying about or doimg with their games.

I work in the industry, and I know people who work or who have worked at studios owned by every major punlisher in the west. This is a thing they all habe someone of import chomping at the bit for.

It's just that none of them want to be the one singled out as the first or only one attacking lets plays. Nor to be the one that shoulders the costs of having their position challenged in court.

This can't be a new thing. This was one of the conditions Nintendo announced when they dropped their stupid "register with us to be allowed to do lets plays" thing.

Oh, and it's not just Nintendo. All of the big publishers believe they own your videos that use their games. I've been involved in discussions with people personally who were trying to figure out how to demand licensing fees from YouTubers.

This is goingnto get worse before it gets better. This has been a traffic jam caused by everyone waiting for somebody to go first. Nintendo is just the one who has volunteered to be the first mover.

But I might be wrong; I feel 70% certain about this one.

You should downgrade your certainty. By a lot.

The expansion is an expansion of space, and therefore explicitly increases the distance between galaxies. It does not, and cannot increase the speed at whoicj those galaxies travel through that space.

Right now, there are galaxies moving away from us at rates higher than the speed of light, a thing which is physically not possible if the expansion is due to an acceleration of the galaxies themselves.

You've misunderstood things completely backwards.

Almost exclusively day-ta.

I'm a day-ta scientist who grabs raw day-ta from a tay-ta warehouse (using an interface that makes it look like a day-ta base) and manipulates it inside day-ta frames in order to do day-ta analysis. I also design day-ta analytics schemas.

Sometimes, though rarely, that day-ta warehouse holds rah dah-ta, though, and I can't tell you how it got there or why.

The case of remote work shows that the CEO class as a whole failed to pick up an innovation yielding massive benefits before it was forced on them by the pandemic, and have continued to resist and resent it ever since.

Hey, look! It's the whole of what's going on here. The bosses were forced into letting us have a thing, and, as a result, they will never accept us having it, and will do everything they can -- including destroying the business, if they're privately held -- to take it back.

They lost a minuscule slice of power over our lives, and they will never forgive us for that.

In false-friendly spaces like OP describes, people who are non-conforming can be singled out and treated poorly.

I quit my last job because they pulled us back to the office. That's going to be a lot harder to do next time becauee of BS like this.

Everyone just has to sit on their hands and strike in-office to drive home the point. Something that'll never happen in unorganized workplaces.

It's funny. Before ChatGPT 3 hit the internet and LLMs became this big corporate ~~white elephant~~ obsession, I wpuld get pulled into meetings with my manager to discuss the "harsh tone" of my emails.

Now my bosses are pushing for us to use LLMs for basically everything, and my emails are no longer an issue.

The Mozilla trick

What's that? I'm not spending any more money on ZeniMax games? And I'm getting a Margaret Thatcher Doom mod?

What a marvelous day it is!

He's Etobicoke Ralph Klein. This is his version of drunkenly throwing pennies at the homeless.

How many muscles in his back did he rip from the bone that time?
