May point is that it might be a mistake of the character, intended by the writers, not a mistake by the writers.

It’s a common mistake, so isn’t a character in a movie making it realistic? Wouldn’t it be out of character for many characters to have perfect English?

Not vodka, but you get lots of ads for 0% beer. Which ends up advertising beer while going around the rules.

Presumably because letting the cops know you are defenseless is not what they want to message.

Thanks, that explains it. So there is a pop-up when you try to play a game from the common pool and you have to choose who you are borrowing from?

Nobody is giving anybody permission any more than anyone else though. Account 6 creates a family and 5 accounts with a game join the family. There are now 5 copies of the game in the family pool. Account 6 can play and get banned. In this situation nobody even invited account 6 to the family.

Being able to evade a ban once is already a problem. Now you need to ban every cheater twice to really ban them.

My question is, when there are 5 people with 5 copies of a multiplayer game in the pool, and the 6th member without a copy gets banned, which of the other 5 members gets banned?

No one said they are unpaid or have zero qualifications either.

You live in a fantasy world if you think it’s possible to catch 100% of mistakes internally. Even safety critical equipment with many layers of checks fails and kills people every now and then (medical equipment, bridges).

Neither do I, which is why I would love evidence to confirm my suspicions, so I can show it to others.

But I also try not to make claims that are merely suspicious, however likely.

I agree, but the argument here is “why won’t they let you upload more data if they make money off of it”. My point is that it doesn’t apply here, because uploaded files is not the data that can make them money.

I confirmed you made it up and can’t link a source.

Any proof, or just tinfoil?

I already use a different app for voice chat, and never used Discord’s voice chat feature.

Discord is a modern alternative to IRC, Slack, or a more fully featured version of Matrix. I never considered it for the voice chat feature.

People always bring up voice chat alternatives, which don’t replace Discord at all, because voice chat is a tiny unimportant feature of Discord that I wouldn’t notice if they removed.

Source that they make money off of uploaded files?

For example I might store blobs of data processed by my database in files that have the Base64 ID of the blob as the filename. If the filesystem was case insensitive, I’d be getting collisions.

Users probably don’t make such files, no. But 99% of files on a computer weren’t created by the user, but are part of some software, where it may matter.

And often software originally written for Linux or macOS and then ported to Windows ends up having problems due to this.

Fair enough. Still commendable for taking the heat himself without ever mentioning which employee made the mistake with misallocating the review item to the charity auction.

Source on “he’s ok with ad blocking as long as it’s not done to him”? Doesn’t sound like something he’d say.

Doubled down? After being called out they slowed the upload cadence, are taking more time to make sure mistakes don’t get through, and changed their production process. They also formed a volunteer team of “beta tester” viewers who see each video pre-release to catch any mistakes they didn’t internally. I think they handled it well. Of course it would be better if they didn’t have a problem in the first place, but I’d never call it “doubling down”.
