  • Don’t mention ‘Succession’: inside the contest to run a European media empire

    Jump

  • Funny, the same question is being asked for the Bolloré empire right now. Are we seeing the end of regressionist media empires era, like with Berlusconi?

  • Any interesting new (2024+ launch) browser games / web-based games?

  • Have you looked at itch.io's list of games in the genres you like playable in web browsers? Found a few hidden gems in other genres (e.g. idlers) there.

  • Microsoft is also after those juicy administrative contracts, and right now, with US-skepticism sky-rocketing everywhere in Europe, they are terrified that the EU might mandate that administrations have to use (or, at least, have to use more in the coming years) European-made software.

    Loosing those EU contracts wouldn't just be lost money at a time where Microsoft is pumping more and more money into AI with not a single cent of profit on the horizon, it's also leaving the door open for a competitor to gain worldwide legitimacy and challenge their monopoly in business software.

    And that is worst case scenario for them. That's why every tech giant has been pourring billions into trying to capture the chinese market. Because where they did not succeed, another brand started taking their place.

    How would you feel if, in the coming years, a good chunk of the EU administration were to switch to Nextcloud? If, following that move, ISPs started providing those same services to end user? If more and more people switched from MS Office to other office suites that ACTUALLY follow standards and are interoperable? Would one's reasons for staying with the MS Ecosystem in general crumble?

    And if you think that's not possible, remeber where Yahoo was, and where they are now. In the recent Google trial, there were internal memos showing that Google was actually concerned about DuckDuckGo, and had to prepare a strategy to ripost just in case. DDG has 0.3% percent marketshare.

    All giants have clay legs, it's just a matter of making them bend the knee :)

  • Macron's also trying to entice foreign researchers into France with grants and the benefits of our social security while simultanously breaking both apart. He's a liberal politician, his face is on our dictionary's entry for 'hypocrit'.

  • Court ruling bars Apple from charging 27% commission on purchases outside the App Store

    Jump

  • Nintendo 0%

    Doubtful. These numbers provided are completely wrong. Back when files were leaked during this very trial, Epic revealed they had 3 to 4 times more players on Playstations than Xboxes everywhere other than the US.

    Accorsing to Statista (accesible on a third party site if you want to avoid registring), Xbox only has 23% of the market (as opposee to PS's 45% and Nintendo's 27%).

    I don't like Microsoft, and I agree sideloading should be a thing on consoles too, but they definitely do not hold a majority of the console market, let alone a monopoly.

  • EU Commission and Council are indeed not elected directly, but the Parliement who propose and vote laws is. The way it works is similar to a parlementary republic (where coalitions of parties that includes >50% of MEPs make a governement together).

    It's as democratic as democratic gets on that scale.

  • Anyone else find themselves branching out on gaming since being on Linux ?

    Jump

  • The incredible CrossCode! Absolute gem of a game I wouldn't have discovered eight eyars back if they didn't have any Linux support.

  • Civilization 7 being compared to Humankind is "probably the best compliment I ever got", says Amplitude boss

    Jump

  • It's reviewed poorly because it just came out and is missing a lot of features (read DLCs) and bug fixes the previous civs already have. That and there is no British civ yet (unless they've added them recently-ish).

    Didn't play much of Humankind, but from what I've heard, it was a great concept, but it lacked a lot of polish and got a little overhyped when it came out as the 'Civilization killer'.

  • European Credit Card and digital euro is coming, end 2025

    Jump

  • Last I heard about this, they did not fully commit on a singular technical solution yet. The closest I know being NGI Taler (FLOSS, created by a Swiss company, and plans a lauch in Euro this year), but it doesn't support offline payments yet, unlike what the digital euro's brochures say.

    Hopefully this will be resolved, but I hear this is a very polarized subject since it would remove a lot of powers from the banks (by concentrating it around the ECB), and they are lobying heavily against it, and the right wing is listening.

  • Trump Signs Order Imposing 10 Percent Baseline Reciprocal Tariffs, 20 Percent On Imports From EU.

    Jump

  • Supply chains are globalized. It just needs one step to be performed in the US (e.g to protect critical IP) for the tarrifs to be applied. Your comment prompted me to do a bit of research on Nvidia's supply chain, and here is what little I could find, a non-exhaustive list of suppliers.

    You're right, it doesn't seem like they have parts done in US (mostly Taiwan, China, and Thailand), which should mean they are somewhat safe drom this. But depending on the reseller you buy from, if their distribution network goes through the US, you might still get those tarrifs applied back to you (even if you don't live there).

  • Is it fully manufactured in China, or is the final assembly done in Japan/somewhere else? Because that would change the tarrif.

  • Trump Signs Order Imposing 10 Percent Baseline Reciprocal Tariffs, 20 Percent On Imports From EU.

    Jump

  • 20 percent on goods from the European Union, 25 percent on South Korean imports.

    Bit higher than expected, but not wholly unexpected either.

    34 percent on Chinese goods, 32 percent on Taiwanese imports

    Oof. That will tank the tech manufacturing industry. GPU card price will shoot through the roof.

    46 percent on Japanese products

    Holy shit! What did Japan do to deserve freaking 50% tarrifs? I knew there was some bad blood in the 80s and 90s but is it still the case now?

    I hope Nintendo stocked those Switch 2s everywhere ahead of time or it's gonna be rough.

  • It's not about 'Google' vs 'the other search engines'. It's about transparency. You've probably read some news about how AI crawlers have been destroying infrastrucure and half the time does NOT declare themselves as crawlers in their UA.

    Can confirm that nealy 90% (read hundreds of thousands) of daily visits to several of my websites are made by crawlers from datacenters and I HATE not knowing whose who. Because when I don't know, I block and report. Website owners already have enough between AI, Page Rankings, and Research Agencies who all exploit free infra for their own business.

    Do I make exceptions for Search Engine crawlers? Yeah, I do. I've seen Google, Bing, and Mojeek, but weirdly enough, never Brave. Now I know why. And frankly, if they can't be bothered to be transparent about their crawlings, then I won't be bothered to make exceptions for them. They're freeloading just as much as the rest. If they act like shady chinese crawlers, then they have no right to go pikachu face when they're treated like one.
