Ok.
You're replying to a post about the need to stop supporting working creatives when they cross certain moral lines.
Apparently your own media consumption makes this a moot point. So... the thread isn't for you.

It becomes much easier to apply Death of the Author when they're *literally* dead, yes.

I’m sure by now you can see the through line from COD ubiquity to the bizarre hype reels of ICE/HS repelling onto buildings in Chicago in full tactical gear to kidnap citizens, even if you refuse to look at Palestine. This is manufacturing consent. This is the Hugo Boss “cool” nazi uniforms.

I think it's perfectly plausible that there's an element of class solidarity in how Sulzberger forms his morals.
Calling billionaires "the pedophile class" is a provocation I guess?

You don't need to be especially smart to act in solidarity with others of your class. You just need to -- in this instance -- look the other way when a fellow billionaire leaves incriminating evidence on your mail server.

One desirable side effect of building my engine around persistent branching timestreams is that you can export any given playthrough as an XML log of everything that happened in it. Sooner or later, I want to make some good annotation tools, so you can also study the playthrough artifact in-engine.

Well, apart from Musk's fans, I suppose.

I don't really care. You're trying to "gotcha" her about a grammar rule that she wasn't trying to follow, had no reason to follow in that context, and you're the only one who gives a shit.

She didn't try fancy writing. It's a tweet. She knows the difference, probably better than either of us.
People use punctuations to save on character count in tweets all the time, and it's resulted in some changes to the way punctuation reads. Maybe she was taking advantage; maybe it was old habit.

Failed? I liked the tweet just fine. If you disliked it because it didn't use punctuation to your taste, that speaks poorly of your taste.

Well, unfortunately, they really only barely managed to execute some of the top brass. There were attempts at trials for lower ranking Nazi officers, but not in Nuremberg, and the sentences weren't even all served www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9Ay...

I guess that's all I've thought of so far. I have a connection that can help out with legal details, but, idk, I haven't studied any existing coops in this area much... I'll certainly be reading up on Servo's governance; do you know any others I should look into?

I like the idea of waiving license fees for members who want to use other members' proprietary code. Not that different from MSDN or whatever. Might not be viable for just anything we publish though...

And I guess similar decisions to protect our proprietary code. I don't think every game we publish needs to be FOSS

The membership would need to vote to prosecute any license violators, since we don't want to go after random game jammers who didn't read the fine print
