Re: Re: Re: One thing confuses me about Nintendo, though.
Hey, I buy a new Genesis FPS or RPG homebrew every few months. They come in real cartridges in real cases with real art and all.
And many are quite good!
Well, they didn’t steal it. Did they? Assuming they used free software, you can’t steal what is free.
That’s like putting stuff on the curb and posting free but only if you were born on feb 29th. Then getting up in arms when someone born on March 1st takes it.
What they may have done is violate a software licence. Not theft.
Well, maybe the parent acted this way because they knew school administrators and police officers could be weaponized this way.
Or, more likely, knew and supported the bully and its family.
Keep in mind this would likely be no different if the police were not on campus and called in.
Think about the school’s position. What would happen if the child went back to class and got the crap beat out of her?
Or if she stood up to and, as often happens, beat up the bully?
And if a further incident happens the school is then at fault for not removing the girl from the situation in the first place.
A case could be made up to criminal negligence or criminal endangerment
Such situations are caused not because of police involvement but because we don’t have strong anti-bully laws.
Bullying is, even at that age, still often criminal level intimidation. Threats of, and actual, violence.
But they wiggle their slimy little shells of existence through the loopholes.
Focusing on the “over reaction” of cops and the school ignores the real problem in such situations as this.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Why should triggering a panic be legal?
We have very strict historical building laws in this country. I think that’s all it comes down to. There’s a few thousand historical theatres nation wide. All fairly small. Most in off the track small towns.
And I’m not talking about fire safety diy. I’m talking about fire prevention systems.
Everyone has a smoke detector in every room. And it will beep with enough smoke or heat. Or whatever.
(I always figured we’d be out of the building or burnt to death before some of these went off)
Most don’t have suppression systems though. And few have connected alarm systems.
It’s lost its meaning in chain theatres but the usher/caller still has the job of safety in these small locations.
unhealthy that Facebook remains such a popular option so as to dominate that market segment.
Maybe. I’m not sure I really agree. Largest public? Maybe. Most visible? Sure. There’s what, 7bil people on Earth and 6-some have some level of connection? Their own or access to…?
And how many on Facebook? Twitter?
That politicians and talking heads are too ignorant, or too challenged, or too out right stupid, to use other services…?
Sites like Ars and forums like Tom’s have discussed the bizarre divide in the past. At any given moment there’s over a billion IRC connections.
Sounds like competition to me!
Blogger, WordPress, Newz? Hundreds of millions of active posters each.
And that’s not including the non-DNS services. The “deep web” of smaller self hosted servers that are nothing but IP address sites.
And no, that’s not the “dark web”.
Want to add those in? Onion. Garlic? Pear?
How about pea protocol.
All of these pull hundreds of millions of users monthly.
I haven’t done the search myself but I wonder what the traffic is Reddit vs twitter?
I’ll guess it’s close.
Reddit is a web 1 holdover. Still going strong.
Vs Web 2.0 twitter.
As the youth move into professional life, we’re watching them slowly move off the main platforms in general as well!
For all the focus on the big 2 social sites today, it reminds me of the omg reaction to each social advance since the 70s and CB and short wave.
I’m no fan of the big 2. I don’t use Facebook at all. I’ve long forgotten and lost my overly complicated password and don’t care enough to reset it.
Twitter, I don’t post. I have it because everyone in public seems to think it’s the only way to get a message out.
But I don’t post anything myself. Just the occasion thumbs up like thing or an lol or funny.
An old George Carlin set comes to mind.
“If it’s undisputed—what’s all the fighting about?”
Big? Yes! Public? Yes. Majority? Barely. Only? Not at all.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Here they go with their principles again
I like erotic pictures. But that’s not the point.
If a site chooses to let nazis have a thread/topic that’s their choice. And if they don’t, that’s their choice.
And they can have an erotic picture topic or not. Also a private choice for the site.
And those choices are legal regardlof your preference.
Given I’ve seen Parler toss free speech out the window when far left dems started muckraking, I don’t trust anyone who claims “free speech”.
But:
I’ll say this. One site has proven to be somewhat consistent in their lack of removal.
Bitchute.
And that shows minimal hands off still can work.
product which can only be fully used by ignoring their recommendation that the driver needs to remain "fully focused“
That’s just it though.
I have “adaptive cruse” on a family vehicle. And quite a few friends have it.
Wonderful little invention. But you don’t take your eyes off the road.
I can’t for the life of me figure out what makes these idiots think they’re in a sci-fi movie.
Granted: mine freaks out I’ve a leaf! Dinging and making the seat squeeze and vibrate.
But still!
Exactly.
The republicans run around screaming they’re being censored. Doesn’t matter. Private property, private service.
1st amendment doesn’t apply.
Dems run around demanding more censorship. Fuck you. Fuck deletionist scum.
Right now only MAFIAA shites are exploiting it but it’s still a hole in the law. Eventually some smart politician (I know, oxyM) will come along and exploit that.
The one thing this site did was force me to actually research 230. Change my mind. That’s partly you, Stephen, Mr Devil (my?).
The rake away, after reviewing many many dozens of legal filings: everyone in DC is so full of each other’s shite they speak only crap.
But here’s a real concern.
The question now is who figures this out and acts on it first.
Because everyone in congress thinks they’re some sort of grand prophet to a better way.
As a generic example:
YouTube was informed by user fukcyoutube that the video at andj72jsg5js was in violation of [name law] for displaying [name content]. As such YouTube knew or reasonably should have known that the content at andj72jsg5js was in violation of [name law] and is therefore liable for hosting said criminal material.
Only partly. I still don’t think it goes far enough. We need an absolute immunity to platforms.
Right now user reporting of other user content could be construed as knowledge. The whole “knew or should have known” doctrine.
The fact that Google beat sites that nobody ever used does not mean that Google "cheated"
Oh, don’t misunderstand me. I don’t think they cheated at all. They just had better people selling the product to the money.
In fact I point to, retrospectively, the biggest problem Beacon had was they trusted everyone and demanded nothing. They were the usenet on ramp platform in CIS, the search supplier behind the non-web services searches on AOL. And the default search for Conext set-top devices.
Google just was better at yelling pay me. 🙃
MySpace wasn’t exactly popular as much as it had been a group of targeted audiences.
But LiveJournal and Blogspot?
All three are still going strong.
VK rivals FB in reach per capita.
somehow monopolies
Because they’re ignorant? I wouldn’t begin to do so.
Which is why XBox One was a massive success after the 360 beat out the PS3... wait...
Sure, there are exceptions. And you chose one of the most hostile consumer markets to find one.
But generally, marketing brand loyalty is a real thing.
One covered in college courses across the globe.
Just head over to Amazon and type in “brand loyalty”.
People like what they like. They get hooked on a system and don’t want change.
About the only way 230 could be replaced with something better would be a regulation that protected a company from legal ramifications if they didn’t moderate at all. As long as they took down illegal materials when notified by law.
230 has a tendency to support and forward moderation.
Which was the intent.
It protects a platform from responsibility for missed items when they actively take down other things.
The only way to truly make that better is to shelter a platform from repercussions for ALL content regardless of their choices of moderation, including none.
Yes. But rely on does not mean the driver gets to ignore responsibility.
This article literally looks like it came out of CNN or Fox in how much it pushes only half the truth.
Idiot drivers are idiot drivers. Full stop.
Be interesting to see background dmv reports on if these idiot crashing auto-drive drivers had incidents in manual drive cars. I’d bet a good few have.
The same fools who read their books in a Tesla are the ones who read a book or paper in rush hour traffic and claim ignorance when they rear end someone.
‘It’s not my fault the author wrote a good book: blame the author!’
‘It’s not my fault I drank a dozen pints and fell asleep, blame Tesla!’
Seriously. There os one single place to put blame in these “accidents”! The idiot behind the wheel. Or not when they climb in the back seat.
