You wouldn’t patent the “game” you’d patent the various forms of utility or designs within that game. So throwing a sphere at a life form to then capture it could be one patent, but maybe then you’d also file another patent to cover keeping it alive and caring for it inside the ball habitat. You might file the second off of what is called a continuation filling and in combination, as you need both actions to get the full effect, you might get a bit of extended coverage in practice.
But the bigger thing here would probably be trademark law, which is a whole different beast.
Fuck all the corpo fucks involved here with their plausible deniability attempt. If you truly felt any remorse, you’d talk about how you’ll disengage this AI chum service, or demand that requests are extremely precise or hyper targeted at specific direct issues. This story of blanket action helps the big company with monkey and always hurts the little guy that gets swept up in their ravenous wake.
Also, educate the next month of your online presence you boosting the brand you wronged with your reach. But you won’t do shit, you aren’t remorseful.
"Some of these include free fruit and beverages, fitness coaches in the gym, a sabbatical after four years with the company, and the grounding of the Intel Air Shuttle that flies between California, Arizona, and Oregon."
I think, if anything, one of those things was main driver of the cost here… You make this fucking list with a straight face? But you go get rid of the tea bags to discipline labor, you fucking cowards.
“Who on earth” doesn’t only speak of quantity, it also speaks of quality.
The amount of decent, quality people with something to say and contribute to the Twitter is down to almost nothing, relative to what it was prior to elon.
You can lose “just” 20% of the cereal in your bowl of lucky charms… Yes, most of the mass is still technically in the bowl, but you can lose all the marshmallows in that equation, meaning you’ve lost all the color, texture and flavor that made the whole thing interesting in the first place - you’re then only left with the mostly flavorless, empty, gray, soggy kibble pieces. You’re mistaking a pulse, for a meaningful quality of life.
So, that’s modern Twitter, it’s the plain gray kibble* disintegrating in warming milk. And for “fun” they’ve actually added dog shit, rat poison and rusted razor blades to the kibble.
They increasingly can’t view those posts though.
And I’d argue that the general public actually does care, you can see this reflected in places like all EV sales rising EXCEPT for tesla, Twitter losing half of its advertising revenue (a reflection of elon/Twitter being toxic to their sales goals and the platform rapidly losing eyeballs) and of course basic meme culture. The public care enough to laugh at and reject him.
So actually a lot of reality in clear opposition of your unsupported opinion there…
They are now trying to standardize reference to “review bombing” to try to frame it some nefarious and coordinated “campaign” instead of what it is… A bunch of actual people pissed off at your recent bullshit and responding in real time to express that disappointment and frustration.
Direct consequences of your actions.
You need to work on how you ask for things… This isn’t my product and I don’t work for you.
I don’t know if this is news to you, but the “then” on the end of your statement has some sharp edges on it and represents you as entitled (making you aware if that wasn’t your intention)
A little more grace goes a long way when you’re asking strangers for help on the internet, friend.
Amazon has to do something to turn Alexa into a viable revenue source
All of this type of language is so misleading, it absolutely does NOT have to turn into a revenue source - at a restaurant you might lose money on the steak plate, but you make 20x your cost of the salad plate AND THE RESTAURANT’S REVENUE ACCOUNTS FOR THE ENTIRE FUCKING MENU COLLECTIVELY.
You want us to subsidize all of the microtransactions and equivalent online bullshit to turn on your money machine. Strip all that horseshit away, give us good single player ONLY and you’ll be doing just fine.
“CROSSING GUARD, WEARING SOLID GOLD HEAD-TO-TOE ARMOR, SAYS CROSSING GUARDS AGENT BEING PAID ENOUGH TO DO THEIR CRITICAL WORK!”
Do you want surge pricing in movies after you’ve been socially engineered to want to watch them? So say it’s the 40th anniversary of Goonies or something - they are all on the talk shows and there’s a discussion around the water cooler at work and now you really want to watch?
Well it’s pulled from all streamers a month before and the price triples to rent/buy in the digital services for the month following.
Did you cancel your paramount plus monthly streaming subscription? Well now we’re also going to disable digital access to any of the paramount movies that you “own” because the streaming membership also came with an exclusive paramount DRM validator license that you don’t have now… :(
This post reminded me, probably time for a new softdrinktv video on YouTube.
That “g” stands for Google. You don’t pay for Google products, so you are the product being sold. You touch your keyboard often. You press sensitive and embarrassing things into it.
