The U.S. Solicitor General has urged the Supreme Court to accept Cox Communications' petition in a landmark piracy liability lawsuit. The USSG argues that ISPs are not necessarily liable for pirating subscribers and warns that the current precedent may lead to disconnections for many innocent subscribers. At the same time, the USSG urged the court to deny a petition from the opposing music companies, which seeks to expand the current liability verdict.

Real men get plastered, then show up to work to juggle 50 objects in the air and nobody says thanks you or sees their face.

Sharing information on social media is common for many people nowadays, but it's not always without consequence. In some cases, simple 'likes' can be used as evidence in court, as a Florida man recently discovered. His Star Wars and Minion 'likes' were presented as evidence to support allegations he may be a prolific BitTorrent pirate.

You should assume that dbzer0 will eventually get a legal request to turn over records.

I would like to add terminal sounds to my computer. Think the sounds on terminals in Fallout or Starfield. Has anybody already attempted the project and how did they achieve success?

With the April 2025 release of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, it feels like the era of Starfield is coming to an end. The latest original IP from Bethesda Game Studios, Starfield, got a considerably more lukewarm response than anyone could have predicted, and, at this point, it feels like Microsoft and Bethesda are trying to brush it under the rug. A rumored Starfield PS5 release was recently reinforced by a trusted insider, but after that, it seems like Bethesda's premiere space-exploration RPG will end up being grounded.

I'm guessing there is no way to use Lemmy without having javascript enabled?

If anybody is wondering what conservatives think, they haven't yet gotten their instructions for this particular case yet

at least not when using a public instance - they could fork the project to keep decryptable records on gov servers where the official gov instance would run

All the people in the chat were high enough that the government for free provided them with secure rooms in their homes so everything would be done through government hardware and encryption programs.

Steam also never took it's eye off the piracy ball. Offer up a service better than free piracy.

Just pulling from my memory:

  • Family Share
  • Easy controller support
  • Game Casting
  • Gameplay recording
  • "Invisible Login" for social network
  • Torrent from a local area network friend who has the game on their computer
  • (list goes on)

That is a terrible idea. The basic privacy advice is to use end to end encryption wherever possible.

Maybe it might even be a slam dunk life insurance payout.

No longer letting my family member rants about [insert today's Russian propaganda] go unchallenged.

  • Crime is going up. Oh no, can you show me a chart with a source? Can't be just something you find on the internet (they're always ranting that you can't trust the internet).
  • You can't trust the weather reports. They're just using the internet to make all that stuff up. Explain how the internet allows for a 100 fold increase in sensors that can report back to a centralized meteorology facility for number crunching
  • Ukraine shot first Explain a timeline of the Ukraine war
  • Moon landing was faked. (I actually like this argument the best because it's been so thoroughly debunked)
