  • Sony is deleting 551 movies and TV shows you bought on PlayStation, because you don't really own your digital purchases— John Wick, Paddington, and Terminator 2 are among the titles–no refunds offered

  • If they had to write "lifetime means 2 years (or whenever we feel like it)" in big letters above the works "buy" or "purchase" it may affect their "sales". They can write whatever they want in small print, they shouldn't have told customers it was buying.

  • Interesting, if other countries have less driving accidents then it may be worth considering lowering our legal limit. That is, if we can actually detect something is affecting them. Unless the driver is already driving erratically then we must presume the effects of any drink or other drugs isn't affecting them. Mandatory testing or randomly pulling people over to test them would be a gross over-reach. We trust people to change their own break pads, I trust them to know if they can drive on painkillers.

  • If you can drive safely then go ahead but if you're impaired by too much of anything that you would drive poorly then don't. I thought this was common sense.

  • "Think of the game-devs needing to make money" says a fat cat talking about a tool forged from game-dev's labour without compensation and disregarding any social contracts (i.e. copyleft software licenses).

  • "We must do X at any cost to the user because others will do it and get the money"

    This mentality has driven the games industry to become psychologically manipulative, subscription battleass and absolutely proprietary.

    Maybe the irresponsibility is in ourselves for giving those game companies money.

  • Also apps can outgrow what the author(s) can do and need to be adopted to continue progress. Or you'd rather work on something new or spend time with family. Or the app is finished, no need to add more features and the code is there if you want to fork and maintain.

  • Electronic voting can be subverted at scale without a paper trail leading to you. People are going to notice you trying to hide the big ballot boxes up your t-shirt.

  • Perhaps, but lack of competition ain't helping. It's not like anyone can just start making them.

  • Electronics are superior to paper for many tasks but voting for your share of representation in government ain't one of them. Without indentifying who voted for who (red flag) and verifying it then you can only hope the software was counting properly at run time and not subverted. You can watch people miscount paper in real-time and call them out.

  • Widen the scope to consider downsteam users (the dev's user's users and beyond) and now the potential lack of any software freedom makes it freedom muchtheless.

  • I'd like to think that is so but some here will argue non-copyleft licenses are "more free". Ime they don't reply after I point out that's the freedom to deny others freedom.
