My wife has been laughing at this campaign for a whole year. Never ask authoritarians for consent. Mirror your games, kill your oppressors.

    Mirroring doesn't work when you aren't given the data. This isn't something piracy alone can fix. It's not a matter of what you aren't allowed to do - it's a problem of what publishers shouldn't be allowed to do.

    piracy

    Stop using tyrannical diction.
    Publishers are capitalists.
    Capitalists want your rent for copies of a game.
    Studios choose to behold themselves to capitalists, or freely publish.

    Read more theory.

    I published a FOSS NES game that opens with the Yuzu logo and "Never give Nintendo money."

    Piracy is still a thing. I'm not playing stupid word games. Even open-source games can be pirated, if they're only free as in speech.

    Piracy is a real thing, if you praxis property.
    I am not physically robbing your FOSS NES game if I make a digital copy I share with comrades.

    free as in speech.
    I’m not playing stupid word games.

    Then what is press to you?

    That's why piracy isn't theft, not why piracy isn't... piracy. It's illicit copying as a failure to reward labor. I am personally responsible for nearly every byte in the games I've made. Taking that without permission is not expressing anything besides "yoink."

    Then what is press to you?

    "Free as in speech" is perpendicular to "free as in beer." Libre versus gratis. This is central to the free software movement. Irfanview is proprietary freeware. Doom II is commercial FOSS.

    It’s illicit copying as a failure to reward labor.

    Under what jurisdiction?

    I am personally responsible for nearly every byte in the games I’ve made.

    You are responsible for numbers‽

    Taking that without permission is not expressing anything besides “yoink.”

    Whose permission?

    Then what is press to you?

    “Free as in speech” is perpendicular to “free as in beer.” Libre versus gratis. This is central to the free software movement.

    So a journalist writing a story about your FOSS NES game would cost you?

    Respectively: failure of object permanence, total fucking nonsense, non sequitur, and making shit up.

    Shoo.

    You're telling on your own tyranny.
    Freedom of pressers desire the absolute liberation of press. If your FOSS NES is in the Torah, or can be extracted from it from simple indexical logic, is your FOSS NES really laboured?

    I can see you requesting compensation for labor made into formatting the Torah into a NES format for a game. But numbers do not belong to you, or should they.

    Giving away my own artwork is tyranny, says someone very serious about word use.

    If your FOSS NES is in the Torah

    And drug use.

    Like people writing all your precious literature weren't doing labor, because they didn't invent the letters.

    Sharing your art, or keeping it yours only is your choice indeed. But numbers are not art, and your desire to monopolize who gets to copy numbers or not demonstrates your desire to privatize numbers: which is tyranny.

    You can request compensation for writing indeed, but you have to ask yourself if you are willing to censor others’ press to copy your writings. At what point are you willing to use violence to maintain that monopoly?

    Publishers have already chosen to use the states to sue to slavery for those rents.

    Digital art doesn't count unless I own the number 7, apparently.

    Letters are not art, therefore, no work of art has ever been written.

    Fuck off.

    You can digitize your art indeed, but the corresponding number it ends becoming, doesn't belong to you, or your demand to monopolize its usage.

    Letters are art, as scripts and calligraphy are. Demanding compensation under no jurisdiction than your own is tyranny.

    Fuck off.

    Enjoy your slavery, prole.

    Calling digital copy-pasting piracy is akin to calling breathing displacing the air, data centers be damned.

    the tyrants🧵 want me to compensate them for being the ❝first person❞ to count upto a number that makes their stupid FAMICOM run ❝just the way they like it❞
    everyone else be damned!

    Did you really came back to reply to project your procapitalist-ganda on a reply about counting my breathing? Why haven't you syndicated yet and libre-published your theoretical ❝FOSS NES❞? Did Nintendo license you, or you're using their computer voided of warranty?

    Well what else should we do?

    Raid the company headquarters that have the server code?

    Mirror your games, kill your oppressors .

    Are the company oppressing you? If so, you know what else to do. Otherwise, they are neutral capitalists.

    We can say in the future that we wanted to solve the matter by coming to an mutual agreement. Now just wait.

    Reverse engineers just got fantastic tool in the form of LLM models. They do exactly what they are the best at - translation from one token space to another, assembler to code :)
