we don’t know that denuvo ACTUALLY impacts sale numbers by convincing those mean old pirates to buy their game
But we do know it improves sales, that’s why every game publisher that can afford it is using it. They have years of data to prove it. What do you have?
Flagg Center Church? As in Randall Flagg?
Have you ever used cheats on single player games when that was still a thing developers put in games? I did, it was fun. That’s why.
I remember a similar case regarding Windows shipping with IE. Whatever happened with that?
Site policies can prevent that kind of behavior in that particular site. It’s better than nothing.
I agree. One clear example is banning someone for participating on a community the mod doesn’t like. Admins should learn from reddit’s mistakes and limit what mods can and can’t do.
But what’s the actual problem with the ability for posts to have negative scores?
It incentives self censorship that turns sites into echo chambers. e.g. Reddit
There’s currently nothing stopping a mod from creating a bot to do the same. Maybe it’s already a thing.
Do you have an example of a technology that is more efficient than human labor, doesn’t have those side effects and was successfully held back just to keep jobs?
I like being able to say what I want without being banned by a power-tripping mod
There’s currently nothing stopping a mod from creating a bot that deletes comments below certain threshold or that bans users for commenting on communities they don’t approve like they did on Reddit. Only site policies can prevent that.
I agree, but there already is a karma system.
Nobody cared at all
The mods cared. There were many bots used by moderators that relied on karma, the main one being automoderator.
It did if your karma was low enough. It also affected whether your votes were counted or not.
Yes it does. Some filtering is done by reddit and some by the mods. Also your votes don’t count if you don’t have certain amount of karma accumulated on the sub you are voting.
Also as a right leaning person everytime I say an opinion I get downvoted to hell, which puts my score in negative.
You can see you total score here.
Lemmy only has the voting per individual post and comment, but doesn’t accumulate this as a sidewide score.
Lemmy does have a karma system. Here’s yours.
I tried it on these platforms:
The union negotiations could include in the contract that AI generated actors are not allowed when SAG is involved.
Ok, but if they want to ban all forms of AI then we are no longer just talking about the morally reprehensible example of a studio buying an actor’s likeness in perpetuity. They want AI gone even when it’s used in a more sensible way which is understandable from their point of view but less so for the rest of us.
The paper this article is based on is from 2009. I’d argue that’s against rule 5.
