Great, lets waste a few million euros on yet another “Dahir Insaat” style pod based Gadgetbahn. I can’t wait to stand in traffic in my pod because a lot of people want to exit at the same station.

You can keep your smartphone but they have you put stickers over the cameras before you are let in. If you remove them you might have a one-on-one session with Sven.

Maybe its time more clubs adopt the strict no-cameras policy of Berghain in Berlin.

Disappointing, I expected nude Microsoft programmers.

Here is the original source if anyone wants to do the quiz.

I would rather go with a completely new approach like the one of run0.

I like them, almost all my applications are installed with flatpak.

Sounds an awful lot like what YandereDev did when he was still relevant.

Yes, I think calling it fraud is a fair conclusion, but what do you mean with “they knew it was closing”? This decision is completely in the hands of Ubisoft. Something doesn’t stop being fraud just because someone only decides to defraud you 2 months after they sold you something.

Sony actually issued full refunds to all customers that bought Concord.

‘The Crew’ by Ubisoft was sold for several months before they decided to shut it down. This would have at least forced them to communicate that before taking peoples money. I am also pretty sure that publishers don’t want to put this information on the package because it could seriously hurt sales. So the effect of this labelling requirement might be that publishers build the game in a way that enables self-hosting.

I think the commission will take action in some form. The worst case scenario in my mind is that they will only require clear labelling. Similar to what they did with smart phones recently. While this not exactly what I am hoping for, having “This game will at least be playable until XXXX” on the package or store page would still be a massive improvement over the status quo.

Lullabies that are pretty grim seem to be a thing in a lot of cultures. I read an article from the university of Oslo about that recently.

The book is called Struwwelpeter and it is from 1844. The stories are intended for children and are all cautionary tales about how bad behaviour can have disastrous consequences. I loved them as a child and I probably could recite the whole book from memory. There is an English translation available at Project Gutenberg.

Maybe they read something about the titanium dioxide contained in some sunscreen products. There is some research indicating that its not as safe as we thought and that it might be carcinogenic.

I would really like to try this but the device support matrix looks a bit dire. Nothing newer than 2021 and spotty support for various hardware features across the board.

Rich assholes with way too much influence and by extension people who would get fired by said assholes if profits dip for a microsecond.

Looking though the related patents, fart filters certainly seem to be a hot topic among inventors.
Here is a patent for a literal butt-plug fart filter.
This one is from last year.

The source code is freely available and GNOME isn’t beholden to Canonicals decisions. If the Ubuntu devs want to keep X11 around nobody can stop them from maintaining it themselves, or pay somebody from the GNOME team to do it for them.
