Another example of a company making clear that we don't truly own the games we play on their platform.

True.

And while we wait we keep our factories running, our cars on the street, our planes in the air, our meat on the tables, our plastic wrapped around everything and keep believing that we will be just fine.

"He looked a little rough,” ... “This is a really special little guy,”

There is a lesson in there somewhere...

Or... a cheese volcano.

Get your imagination out of the gutter.

Sorry... couldn't resist. 😁

This applies to so many things. Someone's lifestyle might come under attack, someone's religion might be persecuted, someone has sensitive information to share, and so on and so forth.

... as explained here.

Basically Microsoft presents this "incredible" product, and then says in the same breath: "Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?"

Really!? 😠

If only Linux were ready for mainstream use...

there are limits

I am glad you have a moral centre.

But that is the capitalist way. A Redditor once wrote: "*Corporations have no morals, no ethics, no code of conduct, no feelings, no empathy, and zero accountability. They have one goal and one goal only: to increase profits at all costs."

Case in point: the climate crisis. Corporations are literally destroying their own home for a symbol of success that, like their products, is man-made: money. It is the ultimate pursuit of vanity.

Crazy, if you think about it for a moment.

Jup. It just says that "the malware was disguised as PDF and QR code readers".

Not helpful, Mashable. Not helpful at all.

On Windows, installing I2P is easy.

On Linux... not so much. That's because Linux isn't Linux. There's a Debian package, but OpenSuse is its own thing. Is there a way to get I2P, Snark, etc. up and running there without having to jump through too many hoops?

The capital's Bureaucracy Museum takes a wry look at one of Germany's most serious challenges.

A sad fact. I didn't realize it is this bad. Currently it is mostly escalation after escalation. What way out is there?

Digital "ownership".

"Ubisoft is determined to take things one step further to stamp out any attempts to continue playing it past its expiry date."

It's almost as if companies have gone a bit overboard with advertising. Huh. Didn't see that coming...

To save you all a click and some time: the source says that the report is bogus.

"I've had my ups and downs. My fair share of bumpy roads and heavy winds. That's what made me what I am today. Now I stand here before you. What you see is a body crafted to perfection. A pair of legs engineered to defy the laws of physics and a mindset to master the most epic of splits."

All done in one take.

After the last update I get the above error followed by the current date and time in the international format. Nothing shows apart from that.

What do you think?

TIL Godot is on Steam. Huh, will you look at that.

Online banks use this method. I am not happy with this either. It's government-regulated, so OK (sort of).

A social media site? No, thank you.
