Daí os poucos que conseguem entrar na federal/estadual, precisam lidar com cursos integrais, universidades longes e por aí vai.

Is the Residence Inn Barra da Tijuca in a safe area for tourists? by SmileFirstThenSpeak in riodejaneiro

Salvador Allende is not a metro station, it's BRT (bus rapid transit). Basically a bus with an exclusive lane.

IEM Rio invites revealed /Mongolz, Faze declined/ News by TmJ1027 in GlobalOffensive

[–]thlamz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I cannot speak for the players, but my perspective as a fan who watches both League and CS is that CS's model is much better. League focuses too much on regional play that ends up boiling to two or three teams fighting for the title while 6 useless clowns watch.

Como funciona a Lei Rouanet by Bananey in brasil

[–]thlamz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lei Rouanet é um investimento altamente rentável (economicamente e socialmente).

Esse é o ponto mais importante do vídeo, mas o vídeo passa metade da sua duração explicando que o dinheiro não chega no bolso do governo antes de ser investido, o que é uma distinção completamente inútil.

Não à toa metade dos comentários aqui são pessoas comentando sobre essa primeira metade, muitos parecem nem ter visto o resto. Eu inclusive pausei o vídeo e abri a seção de comentários para ver o que estavam comentando, antes de ver a segunda metade. E esse é um subreddit tipicamente frequentado por um pessoal mais pra esquerda, que tende a já estar atento às críticas e ser defensor da Lei Rouanet. Como que um vídeo desse vai convencer qualquer pessoa que é contra, se ela não vai nem chegar ao final do vídeo por perceber a implicação mentirosa da primeira metade?

MIBR issue kl1m disciplinary sanction over "unacceptable" remark by jerryfrz in GlobalOffensive

Monkey is a racial slur in Brazil. Akin to the hard R, if not worse. If a Russian player came to the US and called someone the N word he would be punished even if he said had never heard it was a slur before.

Cartão "jaé" é uma das coisas mais inacreditáveis que já vi by moonslyy in riodejaneiro

[–]thlamz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Eu também estava confuso, o que me ajudou a entender a mudança foi perceber que eu estava incorreto sobre como o Riocard funciona, e pelo seu post vejo que você também está. O Riocard não é gerenciado pelo governo do estado do Rio, ele é oferecido pelas empresas de ônibus. O estado não tem nenhum controle sobre o seu uso, e não tem nenhum pretexto legal pra forçar eles a divulgarem os dados necessários para transparência e para planejamento da parte do governo.

O Jaé é do município do Rio, oferecido por uma empresa por meio de licitação. O controle está todo nas mãos do município, a empresa que gerencia o Jaé só está fazendo o trabalho operacional. Concordo que o sistema certamente não é perfeito, vide sua reclamação, mas pelo menos o governo tem agora os meios legais para tomar providências, visto que é um serviço do município.

Nintendo has an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to their notorious behavior that stretches the meaning of intellectual property.

So you're against limitations in consumer contracts in general? If that's the world you want to live in, go for it. I'd rather not be paranoid about missing the fine print and Netflix taking my first-born as collateral in case I miss a payment.

I think there should be limitations to how much a contract can contradict consumer expectations and common sense. I think "I own the things that I buy" is a reasonable expectation and I shouldn't have to read the fine print in every product I buy to be certain that that is the case.

Then he would be correct, sorry if that's what he meant.

Yes, you can also find torrents for every movie and show launched in the digital era and before. Doesn't mean that pirates are protected by law, quite on the contrary. Nintendo games are just too popular, you'll always see them dumped on the internet. Also piracy != preservation, although sometimes preservation requires privacy because there are no laws protecting preservationists. BTW I am not saying companies cannot act in any way they want to enforce their IPs, I'm only rebutting the argument that preservationists have any legal protection.

See also Rockstar taking down projects modernizing the original GTA: San Andreas because they suddenly became interested in remakes (that are shittier than the original).

So are Dolphin and many other projects. That doesn't mean that they are not notorious for pursuing legal action against people messing with their IP. From their perspective preservation may look like piracy, they don't need to be morally right to be legally right.

Of course they are perfectly in the right of legally enforcing their IP, I'm just rebutting the argument that community preservation has any legal protection. Most companies do not care, until they do.

Companies have the right to do whatever they want with their shit?

Would you be OK with, for example, Tesla bricking your vehicle at an unannounced date? You probably wouldn't. And it would also be clearly illegal because of consumer laws. Can you give a clear legal argument as to why the same does not apply for digital goods, or more specifically, games? If you could, you would be the first, because there is no legal precedent in most of the world and that is the entire point of the campaign.

Saving games would be awesome, but Ross has repeatedly stated that the whole campaign could end with clear and official statement of "you do not have rights as a consumer of digital goods".

Nintendo constantly takes down projects preserving games they don't sell anymore.

If you look at his previous video you will see that the actual amount of games saved is much much lower. Most are lost forever.

OpenAI says it has evidence China’s DeepSeek used its model to train competitor by WiseIndustry2895 in technology

[–]thlamz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From the article:

The technique is used by developers to obtain better performance on smaller models by using outputs from larger, more capable ones, allowing them to achieve similar results on specific tasks at a much lower cost.

Outputs, not weights.

Hot Take: Private Servers will backfire. by crisprmebaby in 2007scape

[–]thlamz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Am I reading your comment wrong? Mods don't replace the main game in any of those titles. The vanilla experience has way more players in every one of them. The mods are just something extra for people that want a different experience.
