Idk what he’s talking about, IME they are usually on wheels to ease in servicing them.
That said they’d still likely be placed there for operation, they don’t get moved to use, they get moved from where used to clean, empty, check line, replace line, etc.
The fryers at all the McDonald’s locations I work at are on wheels. You can detach the gas line. I have to regularly pull them out to clean spilled oil and shit from under and behind them (and all the other big appliances as well, which are the same). It sucks worse than cleaning the bathrooms.
At first I was like “WTF does an indie games site have to do with Funko?” then I Googled it…
Looks like they hosted a BUNCH of infringing games, so Funko, instead of doing the righteous thing and sending them a takedown request, just nuked the whole domain…
I mean, I don’t blame them for protecting their IP, they just picked a super shitty way to do it.
I don’t even think they would have needed an official cease and desist… just a friendly note of “Hey, none of this Funko material is licensed, please remove it.”
Well, if you care about an indie gaming site being shut down for copyright violations, yeah, you might want to actually care about copyright infringement.
What they were doing here though was supporting developers profiting off someone elses IP. It would be like, I dunno, I started an independent Superman movie and was fundraising off that. It’s a little different from piracy.
In the case of the Five Nights at Freddies game, the developer is infringing on not one but TWO properties.
“In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
the nature of the copyrighted work;
the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.”
So, me, making a fan page for FunkoPop versions of the Five Nights at Freddies characters and using their images? THAT’S fair use.
Me charging money for a fan game based on the same Funko versions of those characters is NOT fair use.
“Section 107 of the Copyright Act gives examples of purposes that are favored by fair use: “criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, [and] research.””
what i mean by moral, is about things being fair or not, and this is clearly not.
see, the fact that they can jump the gun, but the end users cant is the problem here. even the correct process is very biased towards big companies because they can afford a lawyer army to harass people with weaponized bureaucracy.
who cares besides them anyway? they cant sue everyone.
I blame them for protecting their IP like a old white person protects their property value by shooting at any black person that moves into the neighborhood.
How does one steal Funko Pop’s IP? Create an ugly figure with a giant head and no face? Is that so common that they need an AI system to watch for IP infringement?
If a company wanted to get into the figure business, maybe they could just make figures that look good, and thus avoid infringing Funko Pop’s style.
Simon Tatham’s Puzzles is my go-to. No art to speak of, but it just does what it’s supposed to and you’ll quickly find a few favorites. No fluff, no ads, nothing to annoy or distract from the gameplay.
Worked in a few kitchens when I was a teenager and those industrial dishwashers usually have a sink to the right of them and a flat surface to the left so you can slide trays of dishes through them from right to left. The dishwasher itself divides the dirty and clean areas so there’s no cross-contamination. If one were set up so that you just slide the tray in and back out the same way I don’t think that would meet hygiene standards.
If you’re into simple games, there’s one called Lato from F-droid. It’s just a snowboarding game where you click to jump over boulders and cliffs with a changing atmosphere and relaxing music. It helps me ease my mind.
This is interesting, it looks like a remake of Alto’s Adventure. The control sensitivity takes a moment to get used to, but the background is just as nice as the original, and the music is indeed relaxing
Somehow I feel like the cloudflare one is not in the same category. This is the first I heard about it, and end users don’t care about logs at all. I doubt there’s many businesses that even noticed or cared that they lost 4 hours of logs.
Right, but we need clowns. I accept any dumpster fire. :D No seriously, I agree with you. I didn’t pay any attention to how severe the issue was and just made a list from recent known issues I’ve heard.
