Former funeral director. I understand what this doctor is saying. I've sat with many people planning assisted death and they were understandably happy that their pain and suffering will soon end. It's normal to be afraid of death and not understand why someone would want to die until you sit across from someone with bones growing out through their skin because of cancer or someone who will soon lose the ability to move their muscles and be trapped in their paralyzed body until they die. The most common reason to not follow through with a planned death is death. As in, the person waited until the last possible moment to request assisted death. Nobody wants this until they really need it, and when they really need it, they're thankful.

Hour 9...

• Difficulty making and maintaining friendships, preferring to be alone
• Difficulty understanding the emotions of others, accidentally being "blunt" or "rude"
• Sticking to daily routines, being anxious when routines change
• Anxious about social situations, overplanning all social interactions
• Discomfort with eye contact

That offends people!

This guy is likely part of the Moorish Sovereign Citizen group since he used the phrase "overstand". It's a group of Black sovereign citizens who believe Black Americans have the right to their own nation. Yusef might not even be the persons birth name since they usually use a "Moorish" name instead.

Control of the server is the DRM. Radical Heights sold hats for $15. How do they ensure only players who paid for hats get them and that non-paying players couldn't just mod them in? They control that information on the server. Which accounts have cosmetics is controlled by the server. That's the DRM. If they had to release the server when shutting down then they'd have no way to ensure only paying customers play the game since the person who runs the sever can modify it however they want. Everyone could get the $15 hats for free! Or maybe they charge $2 for the hats. There's no DRM that could prevent this because control of the server is itself the DRM.

So a dev is being required by law to give out their game without any DRM meaning anyone can play it for free and even give themselves the cosmetics the original devs were using to pay the salaries of the dev team. I worry very much that this would cause companies to stop producing free to play games or charge a subscription for these types of games instead (since subscription based games would be exempt). I wonder why people would risk this to "save" games like Radical Heights which, in all likelihood, would have no community. A game doesn't shutdown after 1 month because it has a thriving community

that's not my job to figure out.

So you want people to follow a law without knowing how it should be followed? You signed a petition and now it's someone else's problem if they get in legal trouble or not? This makes the world a better place because it protects theoretical people?

I checked my settings and it was already off

There's a reason why political compass is a meme. It's a terrible way of organizing political ideology.

The official lemmy interfaces don't track those things.
