I don't think that's how it works. If it exactly looks like something protected by laws like copyright or whatever your country uses, I highly doubt that any court would say that it's fine just because it was created by AI.

But it's also pretty expensive to test every stupid statement somebody said.

We don't even have gates. Most people just pay for their tickets. Sometimes there are ticket inspections - if you get caught you'll be fined. Way cheaper than enormous infrastructure for every entrance that just slows you down if you have an annual ticket for example. https://youtu.be/kq-X25pH1XQ

Also not paying for LibreOffice, Linux and Gimp.

Probably would have helped more to lower the bridge even more 🤣

Wow that flag is ugly. But now I'm wondering if it's possible to combine the flags in a way that looks nice.

But to be fair it's definitely not the lawyers fault.

I'm seemingly also close to the grave, because I have no idea if those words are actual products or just made up.

Yea because wheels suck on sand.

"none of my friends from high school have ever bothered to contact me".

Best line 🤣 Maybe you should contact them.

Compared to many countries in Europe even US "left" is pretty right.

I guess that's true and I certainly don't have anything against the concept of a constitution, but as someone not living in the US I find it pretty strange that so many Americans treat the constitution like some holy religious text.

It's not like the constitution is some infallible magic text, it was also "invented" by some dudes.

Probably to make sure the customers know that they mean it. There are often a lot of people coming in one minute before closing time that don't leave in time.

Because of the shadow maybe. But it's practically impossible to offset the human carbon footprint with trees.

Given the fact that a fair price for a real town sign is about 175€ somebody will probably just rob the vending machine, either to get the money or a sign. Maybe a card only vending machine would work but changing the name to "Fugging" was probably simpler.

But be sure to read the top comment first ;-)

That likely wouldn't have helped, because sadly some people still think it's funny to steal the actual town signs. I guess even if they'd sell identical 1:1 signs for a fair price, some people would still steal the installed ones.

Ok I also try it one last time 🤣

Go to Google images and search for "Desktop". What you see is Desktop machines amd setups and how I and the vast majority of the world use the word "Desktop".

Now search for "handheld game console". It's very likely that one of the first few results is literally a SteamDeck.

Now back to the stats. As I already said. SteamDeck will be tracked as a Desktop because stat tracking sites just use Browser User Agents and try to detect what the device actually is, but that's very hard if not right out impossible because clients (including the SteamDeck) intentionally (for privacy and compatibility reasons) lie about what they are all the time!

If you take your mobile browser and enable "Desktop site" or "Desktop mode" it will lie(!) and make the server think it's a Desktop - even though it is really not. A smartphone doesn't magically become a Desktop PC. If I browse the web with my typical mobile browser - every site will track my activity as smartphone. If I switch to Desktop mode most sites will track me as a Linux Desktop Machine. But my device has not changed.

So you are right that the SteamDeck is tracked as a Desktop PC. But that's because the Server has has either no better category for the device or can't determine what the device really is because it lies about what it is.

Stat tracking always had (and will have) two big issues (which can't really be fixed).

Devices which lie about what they are (see link above) and the problem that they have to come up with some categories and there will always be some devices which fall between the categories (Think fridge, microwaves, sex toys, etc.).

If your SteamDeck is currently actually connected to a monitor a mouse and a keyboard than you are actually using it as a Desktop PC. But if you use it like most people - even though the SteamDeck lies about it - it's not a Desktop, because the word "Desktop" really is about the form factor - it's not just my definition. Give any of your friends a piece of paper and a pencil and ask them to draw a Desktop PC - I would actually be amazed if anybody in the world (even you! outside the context of this discussion) would draw anything even remotely resembling a Steam Deck.

👋

Desktop is a form factor not "software" and there are microwaves and refrigerators with "PC hardware" (in quotes, because it's actually a pretty ill-defined term), but they still are not "Desktops" even is you install Fedora on your fridge.
