Tuesday's game was definitely the highlight of the series in terms of good baseball. Monday's game sucked ass, and I missed the first two, but tonight was like Tuesday lite. Tuesday night was some of the best baseball I have watched. I wish Tampa Bay had won a couple of more to give us a full series, but it was clear by the 7th that this game was over.

Context: I'm an adult fan of baseball that didn't like sports at all as a kid, so I developed no team loyalty. I'm all about good, exciting baseball whoever wins.

Art historians invented the word “modern”?

There exist uncensored, unregulated models. Many of them are available for local use, sidestepping any third-party checks that could be present.

Other emulators exist that do more for performance. This is more of a simulator.

I feel like that matters less the slower the simulation runs. Simulated RF interference would operate at a much slower timetable than the host system, and I don't really think the host system's RF matters so much until you're at speed parity with the original system and hoping to interface with hardware peripherals.

But copyright and a "copyright license" are two different things. If B doesn't have the legal right to sublicense C's IP, and Meta scrapes it anyway, then B could be liable for breach of contract, and Meta could be liable for copyright infringement

I was an Amiga kid, so Directory Opus was my Norton Commander. I still use Directory Opus on Windows to this day

Hundreds of years ago, nothing was easy to copy, until the printing press. Early copyright surrounding that wasn’t about “IP protection” but rather who had the right to operate a printing press at all

Nobody but you mentioned “eliminating” IP rights. Stop being disingenuous

> Example: if Fallout 76 is shut down, Bethesda giving you their source would essentially be giving you the source to Skyrim also.

That’s kinda bullshit to different degrees with different games.

Only if you're limited to knowing exactly how the actual cryptography works. If you understand exactly how the key derivation works, and know how that is seeded, then you can very much get inside.
