Congrats on releasing a game! It's a large undertaking to code in general let alone release something, so kudos for sticking it through! Out of curiosity, how did you determine system specs for your game? I have a 2D SHMUP that I'm writing and was trying to find a solid answer online, and it seems it ranges from "take a wild guess" to "hope you like excel spreadsheets" lol.

Short Summary

  1. In the 1950s and 60s, there was a belief in a golden age of news where information was delivered without political bias, shaped by cultural, technological, and political forces.
  2. The rise of television, figures like Joe McCarthy and 60s radicals, and even Ronald Reagan played a role in shaping the news landscape.
  3. The aftermath of World War II highlighted the power of propaganda and the need for responsible news delivery.
  4. Government sought to regulate news organizations through acts like the Radio Act of 1927 and the Fairness Doctrine in 1949 to ensure programming was in the public interest.
  5. During the era of television news, objectivity was valued, with news programs not expected to make money and a doctrine of social responsibility guiding ethical journalism.
  6. The New York Times set high standards for objectivity, with television news aiming to emulate this model.
  7. Clips from the era showed commentators presenting opposing viewpoints without bias or emotionally loaded language, allowing the audience to form their own opinions.
  8. Anchors like Walter Cronkite maintained impartiality even when reporting on controversial topics like the election results of pro-segregation candidate George Wallace.
  9. Journalism in the 60s and 70s shifted towards a more active approach, with journalists encouraged to call out lies and take sides based on facts.
  10. By the end of the 60s, there was a noticeable shift towards more activism-driven content in newspapers like The New York Times, departing from earlier eras where objectivity was considered the highest journalistic goal.

The site also has an active Discord community of around 35k members, who actively participate in discussions, art competitions, even a chess tournament.

lulz, but this is probably a big reason why this happened, discord servers pay our pretty well and profiting with this stuff probably got some legal teams a little pissy

IIRC this is how those Elon musk crypto livestream hacks worked on YouTube back in the day, I think the bad actors got a hold of cached session tokens and gave themselves access to whatever account they were targeting. Linus Tech Tips had a good bit in a WAN show episode

Honestly it does have some hallmarks of poor mental health

I hate how YouTube seems to intentionally show salacious ads if you opt out of ad personalization. I get a ton of Temu spam despite not purchasing anything from that app or even having it on my phone, and the ads themselves usually feature scantily-clad women that takes up 70% of the screen. I've made a habit of just opening up the comments section and keeping them open the entire duration of the video. It really feels like YouTube/Google/Alphabet is saying "oh, you don't want people around you to think you're a perv? Let us collect more data about you so you can save face in public when you use our app at the gym or at work."

Looks like this may be a bit of a theme for this guy...

Apart from Debian, he has also targeted Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) and it has got so bad, they have had to reach the extreme of pursuing legal action against him. He violated EU data protection laws by illegally copying subscriber information from FSFE's mailing lists and subscribed everyone to his own list. He also ran a script that tried to unsubscribe everyone from FSFE's lists. Then he claimed that what he did must have been legal because he has not been arrested yet, while at the same time continuing to use his list to spread lies and defamatory statements about volunteers and the FSFE itself. Which is something he has also been doing to Open Labs, accusing them of human trafficking, running a paedophilia ring, and god knows what else.

But Oracle will be leading towards an "offer" to overlook earlier unlicensed software if they agree to sign up to the new subscription model, Biggs said.

So...Oracle is just adopting the mafia mentality to accomplish this? Yeesh.
