It’s acting like a library. When the current laws and political systems would prevent libraries being invented now, it’s a sign that the laws are bullshit. Not that libraries are wrong.

They acted like a regplar library: only one person was able to play concurrently. If that’s not ok, then all libraries should get sued.

IA, on the other hand, are pretentious pirates.

Homie, the IA is an archive. Their first and foremost aim is to make culture and knowledge available to the masses. You should read the blog entry. It’s not like they’re distributing the latest Marvel slop.

I am in this picture and I don’t like it.

This is me on my first PC that I built myself… and Windows XP lacked the S-ATA drivers. Suse worked fine, tho.

The zines from the nerds of the 00’s.

When the actual xbox 360 game looks less like the xbox 360 era game.

Actually, some chromebooks can become very cool linux laptops. That means you can get a system with coreboot on relatively recent hardware (instead of a thinkpad from like 2012).

This is the n-th cartoon of this bland style.

• the lack of a proper punchline

I think the difficulty curve of Johto in G/S is quite relaxed until you get to do the rest of the gyms. Maybe that’s why emerald feels like such a slog.

Wake up, Neo

That’s the one that’s really easy to hack, isn’t it? Now what?

… for faceswapping? O.o

I’d rather not create something like this

Here’s the wikipedia definition

Plagiarism is the representation of another person’s language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one’s own original work.

So, I’m afraid that my definition is closer to consensus than yours.

If word gets out that you used a ghostwriter, you’re gonna get in trouble for plagiarism. That’s the thing they’ll accuse you of.

While consent is a part of why plagiarism is shitty, it’s not what makes something plagiarism. You can check it the other way around: if I’m legitimately quoting someone, do I need explicit consent, or is it implied (if it’s published work)?

About the BSD stuff: yeah, it might not be illegal and consential, but both of these things aren’t necessary for plagiarism.

What are you talking about? I’ve given you several examples of plagiarism outside of a legal concept, which means that there are non-legalistic definitions.

Here’s another one: copying someone’s homework is plagiarism. It’s not illegal, though.

I’d argue that most acts of plagiarism are actually legal, but can result in getting your title revoked. That’s not because of an IP law violation, since you don’t have ownership of an argument in an academic text.

Letting a ghostwriter write an academic paper is plagiarism, too, btw. How would that make sense in an IP law context, if the ghost writer not obtaining the IP is the whole point?

I think your legalistic view of the world is quite limiting.

It’s not illegal to rephrase what someone wrote in a book and pass it off as your own work. You can’t “own” a cultural analysis. It’s still plagiarism.

I never made a MS account, so I no longer own Minecraft since they stopped accepting Mojang accounts.

My sibling in christ: you never owned Minecraft, then.

If you’re only interested in singleplayer or can convince your friends to move: There’s a free, open source alternative called Luanti.

There’s more than a legal definition of plagiarism.

Plagiarism is when you sell the work of others as your own without attribution. There are bucketloads of examples of legal plagiarism.

I’m pretty sure that everything H. Bomberguy discussed in his plagiarism video was legal, for example.

Ok, then call it “plagiarising”.

That channel kinda seems like part of the anti “woke” bandwagon outrage tourist.
