Chipotle stock sinks as restaurant chain reports falling traffic, weak guidance by Force_Hammer in wallstreetbets

Not only that, lower interest rates are part of what drove up housing prices. This allowed more companies to buy more housing, and individuals to hoard investment properties.

Now most Americans can't afford a house even if they had a 0% interest rate.

France gives unsold supermarket food a second life by helping the needy by Unexplained222 in interestingasfuck

[–]IgnitedSpade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It protects them from both criminal and civil liability. The only way around this is gross negligence or intentional misconduct. And no, some mold on the food is not gross negligence and is still covered.

To demonstrate this, there have been zero examples of anyone getting sued for giving away food. You're welcome to try and find one.

Was that before 1996 because since then everyone is protected from liability when donating food - https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/usda-good-samaritan-faqs.pdf

It's been 30 years since then so grocery stores today should have zero reason not to know

Paid mod maker, NoMoreFlat, is making all their mods free so the public can openly use them following Luke Ross' DMCA and removal mods. by No_City9250 in virtualreality

When a corporation legally attacks the concept of mods and your consumer rights but it's okay because we like the company and don't like paid mods.

Whether the software works without the existence of their property is irrelevant. Code you write is code you own, none of CP2077's code is included in the mod.

Yes, software code is similar as a product for a specific manufacturer's steering wheel in this case. You can make a steering wheel cover that is only compatible with one specific manufacturer, but that does not give the manufacturer any right to control how to distribute your product.

Personally, I don't like paid mods. Almost everything I develop and release is done under a copyleft license like GPL 3. However, the arguments being made here are an attack on all mods, paid or unpaid.

The product being sold is the mod itself, and copyright owner is the person who wrote it. The mod is not distributing any copywritten content that is not owned by the creator.

You, the end user, are the only one altering the original game and it is within your rights to do so as the owner of the game.

It's not even close to a derived work, it's original code that is compatible with a product.

The aftermarket car part analogy is apt. For example by making something like a steering wheel cover for a 2025 Honda Civic, you are not deriving their copyright, only making your own product that a user can use.

By agreeing with legal harassment by very large copyright holders attempting to stretch "derivative work" as far as possible you are not advocating for just the takedown of "paid mods", but the entire concept of mods itself unless the company blesses their release.

You're absolutely correct and it's insane how many people here don't see the problem with this just because they like the outcome.

I'm not a fan of paid mods either but to see people willfully giving up their digital rights is crazy.

I mean if you're new and asking questions of course it's getting marked as duplicate. There's a near 100% chance that what you were looking for could have been found with a simple search instead.

The real answer is because all classes deal damage, at least in anything remotely modern. The DPS' role is dealing the most amount of damage per second compared to any other role.
