There is a waning interest, but it wasn't the singular reason the game flopped. It's because it was a painfully mediocre game at an extremely inflated price.
Mass-produced corporate sludge like Outlaws is exactly why interest is waning. It sucks the soul out of the franchise and makes people lose interest.
The problem I have with disabling or turning off permissions is that it assumes that Google respects you enough to honour your requests and actually disable them.
And I have absolutely zero faith in Google to do that.
This was always one of the end goals of P2025. Using government contracts as a way of funnelling money into the elitist ruling class and their corporations.
If anything, I'm surprised it's taken 6 months to get to this point.
I agree, but unfortunately that's basically never going to happen. At least not in our lifetimes.
One of Canada's greatest flaws is that we followed the US into car-dependent, suburban-sprawl at the catastrophic expense of everything else. We have spent decade upon decade investing unfathomable amounts of money into building the most dysfunctional cities imaginable and ensuring there is no practical way of getting in or out of them except a car.
Nebula has certainly improved but I still think they need to put more effort into getting new creators that aren't political or news. I just did a skim through their uploads lists for various topics and news and/or political (or political ish) content is still the most active. Topics like technology and gaming see far less uploads.
Would be a hell of a lot cheaper if they just automatically denied everyone. Because, let's be honest, that is what the end result of this is going to be anyway.
I'm not in Vancouver itself, but a major road near me had its speed limit dropped to accommodate mixed-use expansions. Not a single driver actually does the new speed limit. They all speed 20-30kph over the limit and they will tailgate you or highbeam flash if you do the posted limit.
Maybe some day in the distant future our policy-makers will understand that updating a few signs doesn't make a damn difference. You need physical speed reduction methods such as speedbumps, roundabouts, raised crosswalks, etc.
Ebikes are just bicycles with motors. They have all the benefits of bicycles but are more accessible to more people, particularly those in hilly locations and those with disabilities.
Most ebikes are speed-limited and are built using standardised bicycle components. The kind you see ripping down sidewalks at 60km/h are often highly illegal in many places and, depending on local laws, might not even be classified as ebikes and may require a licence.
That fine is so small that it's not even a slap on the wrist. It's not even a rounding error. It's like a grain of sand at the bottom of the ocean. It probably cost more in worker time just to issue the fine.
