  • When I buy a game, I’m thinking of buying the experience, not the underlying mechanisms.

    you don’t have the info and machinery you’d need to make your own identical bicycle.

    When you pirate the game you are making an identical copy of the game

  • Releasing the source code would allow anyone to copy AND modify or extend the game as they see fit

    So just like when you buy a bicycle irl and you are allowed to customize it and set it up as you want. Are you saying we shouldn't be allowed to modify goods?

  • Without the source code there's no way to know what you are running, ever heard of a spyware named red shell?

    I would also like to compile my own binaries for my own system

  • A house isn't software, it's more like getting handled the blueprints of the building. They already have access to the property what's the difference if they have the blueprints or not

    Zelenskyy fires recruitment officials for accepting $10,000 bribes to help Ukrainian men dodge the draft: 'bribery during war is treason'
  • Objection. I would argue that Saudi Arabia ranks #1 in corruption, violence and terrorism and since we are at it i would also want to point out that the west is a partner of SA and sell them plenty of weapons.

    Russia’s troll farms out here complaining about every other country, when they are globally causing the most problems.

    Is Russia the country that spends more money on psyops and propaganda?

    Arguing who's less of a criminal or less of a dictator sounds like hitting the bottom of the barrel anyway and it's exactly the game these warlords want people to play.

  • Peace through superior firepower is something illogical that does not make much sense. There will be peace once "fighting for your country is always a good thing" propaganda is no more.

  • Fighting for your country is always a good thing. Its your country, your land and your people and they deserve to be protected.

    Russia propaganda.

    Drafting is there to protect the state and its government at the expenses of people.

  • I'm sure this is a common topic but the timeline is pretty fast these days.

    With bots looking more human than ever i'm wondering what's going to happen once everyone start using them to spam the platform. Lemmy with it's simple username/text layout seem to offer the perfect ground for bots, to verify if someone is real is going to take scrolling through all his comments and read them accurately one by one.
