You can’t prove a negative

*blinks*

You are calling me the “dumbass”, here? 😅 Both logic and philosophy say this perspective is wrong, and also, funnily enough, if this were true (as in, it’s not possible to proof a negative assertion in a burden-of-proof scenario) then that very claim could not be proven either? Because “You cannot prove a negative” is, in itself, a negative assertion.
Luckily for us this is of course wrong, and you can prove a negative. Especially in matters of fact, since you could find a list of current filings of Microsoft and hence show that no, of all their ongoing lawsuits, there are none that are targetting developers (which is not the case, it was easy enough to find two cases without digging any deeper).

And I mean, this doesn’t do shit to exhonorate Nintendo here, but let’s not pretend Microsoft and Sony aren’t constantly running hundreds of legal cases and multiple will be targetting developers of all sizes. They’re just avoiding big press about most of them.

I mean from how they speak and post, their ability for language is reduced to the Twitter-level of communication.

Microsoft and Sony aren’t currently trying to sue other developers into the ground

[citation needed], because given their size this feels more than just unlikely.

Yeah but while it ain’t for me at all (I prefer written news), I know a lot of people do enjoy this format.

🤮

Yeah? Why was that ever in question in this context?

Yeah the exceptions are rare, and then many like HuniePop 1 and 2 or Subverse lean intentionally into overdone slapstick.

(That being said HuniePop I can’t recommend enough, easily the best match-3 out there completely ignoring the porn parts)

And then you usually get “But the sex isn’t realistic!!!”… yeah? Neither is the violence, unless you are frequently the Doomslayer or something?!

Like, how is that even an argument. How can violence in games be preferrable to sex?!

Of course, but whether you’re decentralized or not has nothing to do with whether you as someone running a service has to decide for themselves whether to block Mississippi users or risk legal consequences?

Each instance still has an owner. Just like the Bluesky CEO, they need to decide whether the (legal) risks are worth it to them and whether they can cover the (legal) costs if needed.

For any individual instance owner, this changes nothing.

How come plenty federated stuff is also blocking people then? Apparently that alone does not help?

As evident by Lemmy instances not doing the same thing. /s

There’s a difference between being decentralized and doing something illegal, you know?

Entirely understandable. Like you say, it’s not your fight. This is more so if one creates something and isn’t even from the US, if the wankers in a specific US state elect shitty government, that’s not on you in a wholly different country to go up against.

It uses an anti-cheat that is loaded while the game is not? What is this and why is anybody playing it at all? O.o

Ahahahaha. 😂 That is just brilliant. The kernel anti-cheat deadlock.

That’s fascinating. Why where those like it? To not slide around so easily?

Very limited use case of course (long-tube bowden style feed mechanisms aren’t that common any more) but damn is it cool for that case!

I request all districts are now Penrose tiled using the Einstein hat!
