Nvidia intentionally crippled their $1,000 graphics cards so average consumers couldn’t use its full computing power. Why? Because they sell the exact same chip to big tech companies for $7,000+.
Modders have now cracked Nvidia's software paywall, proving we were sold intentionally downgraded hardware just to protect their corporate profits. This is some bullshit. Also means people bought bigger more expensive cards than they needed to.

i think the main nuance that's missing is drives of archived work uploaded to an archive are both not wrong to make and also consented to by nature of uploading to an archive, but also it's reasonable for authors to request theirs be removed and that should be respected. NUANCE

Like with every other catastrophic event in history, the current collapse of Ao3 has shown us the best and worst of people.
As a fandom old all I can say is Ao3 is a sanctuary and must be kept safe... so step wisely when you clutch your pearls & decide "reporting to the powers +

I cannot stress enough that AO3 won't exist forever. Smth will happen to it and millions upon millions of works are going to be lost bc of it and those few fanfics saved for personal use are going to be the only remnants of AO3 and it's work.
Just saying.......

The reason I say this is because TO ME the mark of a really good fanfic is one that cannot actually be reskinned as an original story. The writing and characterization are usually so good that you can see it easily fitting within the canon of the source material.

They trample and many see the consequences with DMCA notices and having their work taken down. And in more extreme cases as we have seen here, they get their work apprehended at conventions by customs ( we saw it happen in Japan Expo this year, and another convention)

The discourse is loud.
It never was this loud when ao3 was just a sneaky little website for us to post our sneaky little stories on.
Now it's such a big name that they put it in the New York Magazine.
I miss when it was just a sneaky little website.

this is rooted in the ancient and wicked customs of ff.net and lj writers who would hold fic chapters hostage until enough people wrote an in-depth bullet-pointed comment addressing every plot point with endless praise. normal people have left this behind

“Fan artists can make merch and take comms but fic writers can’t” WE LITERALLY CAN I know 30-50 people who take writing comms you can physically print and sell fics you just have to keep it on the dl so you don’t get sued to hell and back we’ve BEEN doing this

GOG wants to bring physical PC games back. The idea is to let players buy boxed versions of games directly from their GOG library and have them delivered to their homes.
“We need to think about logistics. We need to think about storage,”
The company would also need approval from publishers to produce and sell physical copies.
GOG has been discussing the idea for years, but there are still plenty of challenges to overcome.
“I really hope that at some point we will be able to do it,”
