He sounds like me accusing people of hacking because I lost in a game.

I love these jokes where they cross over horror and mundane inconvenience

Small ISPs have zero interest in enforcing piracy. They don't want to lose the customers on their highest tiers. Comcast though, they suck

"our data" buddy UGC is not yours. You just have a license to display it. I hate this guy

You can install Linux on a flash drive to test it out. Or spend $50 on a SSD and just have both

I did all my default sub modding on Apollo. Also Reddit has been trying to bribe mods into doxxing themselves "oh we have a gift card and stock for you, just tell us your name."

Yes they do. And they'd need to look at your source code to prove you copied theirs. It'd be basically impossible to prove unless you were stupid enough to have the GTA V source code on your work machine.

Peep the code on a website, and they'll have no evidence and the case will get dismissed for being frivolous. Do you think Rockstar is omniscient? People look at the source code, then leave the company for a competitor every week.

Code can't even be patented, so unless you copy some propriety process for computing physics or something, that they have a patent on, then they really have no legal standing.

This meme of "don't look at it" is very ignorant to the reality of professional software development. Our memories aren't wiped when we switch jobs and they'd have to prove you didn't pick that idea up from another job, a forum, a colleague, or even a dream.

Self hosted Minecraft server for socializing. Mod the shit out of it

Factorio if you want your kid to have a severe addiction.

Red Alert 2 because I want the world to play it.

Ace Combat because it's hype and plays well with a controller.

True, but that's why you do a trade union instead of a company union. And programmers have a lot to gain. These companies, shareholders, and CEOs rake in billions that could be going to employees.

A programmer will make a feature that saves the company a million dollars and they'll get paid $100,000 to build it.

Now is the best time for programmers to unionize. Do it when you already have leverage to make sure the good times stay good. Otherwise, we'll eventually be as replaceable as drafters are now.
