FYI this doesn’t apply to Tricare (military healthcare), it’s 21 in that case (with exceptions for full-time students).

I got 76k, so no(?)

I listen to too much music… only like 16% of the year (excluding December)

In 2022, Blizzard was valued at $60B and had a gross profit of $5.4B. Valve almost certainly had a gross profit more than that (Microsoft estimated $6.5B in 2021). $16B would be such a laughably low figure for the company, especially since Microsoft bought Blizzard at $70B (market cap of $74B around the same time). Not to mention how low-risk Valve’s profit is.

I’m kinda surprised no one’s mentioned them yet; but if you wanted a long-winded version of Tom Scott with a focus on technologies, take a look at Technology Connections

They’d still be confused, considering commercial typewriters weren’t invented until the late 1800s

Not that I’m defending this move, but there is a difference between this and your example. iirc, the way Lemmy works, to get content from other instances, this instance “caches” the data and then hosts the data on their server(s) for the users to access. Because of this, the instance is technically hosting the data and could theoretically be held liable in any lawsuits.

Please do correct me if I misunderstand how Lemmy works. Also reading through other comments, it seems like no pirated content is actually hosted on those communities, so I doubt that they could be held liable in the first place.
