It means a GPLv3 project can use something licensed as CC BY-SA 4.0 by converting it to GPLv3, as is required. E.g using a CC BY-SA photograph as a background or a splash image in a program.
And while you technically can't take the original, yeah, practically everything except "here is the image file alone in a folder" counts as modifying and a derivative work. Resize it, crop it, change a .png to a .jpg etc - all modify the original work.

CC BY-SA 4.0 is one way compatible with GPLv3.

It does mean that anything released under older CC SA licenses aren't, so they can't be used in GPL projects. And MIT isn't compatible at all.

According to this article, they "sold 846.63 million tokens valued at $12.7 million" on the first day, leaving "19.1 billion coins worth $287 million unsold".
At the current price, $12.7 million USD would require 65,376,030 Trillion WLFI, so to get the money back you just have to own 3.2 billion times more WLFI tokens that exist.

Hide you from the view of anyone you block. Essentially, when you block someone, they should automatically be forced to block you as well.

Block on Lemmy, and now Twitter, works like it used to on Reddit few years back, and the main criticism and massive issue with is that because it's just a mute/hide, you can't see what they post and they can keep commenting on your posts with whatever they want. It was huge issue on Reddit where assholes kept following users and commenting slander and falsehoods to every single post or comment they made.
Everyone else sees all of those comments as the first reply, but you are blissfully ignorant of them.

Discord is a fantastic IRC replacement.
The issue is that people try to use it to replace forums, wikis, personal websites, issue trackers, git, and the kitchen sink, and it does none of these.

Helped you (and Valve) to save some bandwidth. But yes. If it requires a Steam account to play, you bought a license allowing you to access a game using Steam, and not an actual game you own.

Which is why you don't have physical copies of those games - you bought a steam key, exactly like you could have done digitally from humblebundle of greenmangaming or myriad of other stores, this one just had it printed on a piece of paper instead of sending you an email.

A Steam key Valve didn't get a cut from, btw.

Sheesh, you know your society has some rather deeply rooted issues when knowing someone's name is enough to cause major problems like this. Not saying name discrimination is a rare thing, here in Finland it's common knowledge having a Romani/Gypsy name makes finding a job a lot harder, but enough to cause major issues to the restaurant simply if your customers know the names of the employees?

Replaced by US manufacturers, using US workforce, paying them, in the US.

Why would how much money Mauritius might or might not make be any relevance to ICANN, a US non-profit?

The only Tomb Raider I had as a kid. Took me a like decade to finally figure out why anyone would like Tomb Raider.

Of course, they will all be made of perfectly smooth glass because they will be Solar FREAKING roadways! Everyone knows this, duhh.

 

I completely understand why Valve decided that the touchpad haptics were good enough, the deck is heavy as it is already. I'd still love to have the option of adding some proper rumble on the deck for the games that deserve it.
