No impact yet. Tried to use it as an excuse to move my friends away from discord but no such luck!

I think the act has merits, there's just not enough exceptions. The wording is so vague it considers a Minecraft server used by a group of friends who know eachother in the real world as being the same as fucking Facebook.
I'm just waiting for all UK users to be banned from anything that isn't Facebook or X. It's absolutely ridiculous and a huge win for big tech as it locks us in to their platforms and their platforms only. Those of us with a bit of tech knowledge will work around it but it's infuriating.
I love how one of the comments is a completely unironic "did you just assume my distro?!".
Prince of Persia sands of time, Beyond Good and Evil, Rayman, Splinter Cell, etc. They were very prolific back when they and the rest of the industry understood that you couldn't just bet all your money on a single title all the time, you had to have some dog-shit movie tie-ins and terrible Barbie games to keep the lights on.
It's not convincingly worded but I broadly agree with the petition. The OSA was supposed to hold meta etc to account but instead it's completely cemented their position because they're the only ones with the resources capable of complying. Instead of punishing big tech the act punishes everyone else. Absolutely ridiculous.
I loved hi-fi rush. I loved the soundtrack, I loved how satisfying the combat system was while still being challenging to pull off consistently well. I always felt I was incentivised to vary my combos because of the DMC-like style meter. I loved the old-school 3d platformer feel as that was nostalgic for me. It was also just such a joyful game. Ok the story has down beats but overall it's a really happy game. I absolutely loved my time with it.
So-called "security questions" like these are prohibited under various standards (there's a NIST one that I can't remember exactly, and OWASP ASVS) because they've always been really terrible at verifying it's actually you answering them, and not just someone who happens to know the answer. Mother's maiden name being the notorious example.
That's not what this is about. Everyone agrees that damage to military assets is a criminal action, no matter how you justify it. The problem I and others have is that the actions don't meet any sort of sensible criteria for what is "terrorism". Most people would say terrorism must involve mass harm to people, not necessarily property. Lots of other organisations over the years should have been proscribed if "terrorism" means property damage. Anyone involved in the race riots, Just Stop Oil, hell, even Banksy, would all qualify if that was the case. It opens the door for the UK government to proscribe any organisation it doesn't like, which is especially concerning at a time when the next government is likely to be even more authoritarian and use this event as precedent to do the same but more.
I've not used it in anger but the principle just seems like inline-styles with extra steps. However I've also had to change something in a large project that had a lot of dedicated classes with specific and shared styles and trying to sort that out without breaking stuff was a massive pain.
One of my primary use cases isn't covered by this article and that's a consistent user experience from one terminal emulator to another. I have personal and work devices, and I don't have control of what terminal emulators I can use on the work device, so tmux is the only way I can work with consistent keybinds and a consistent experience across all terminal emulators with nothing but a single
git clone
of my dotfiles. Yes I get stuck behind in features but I kind of couldn't care less about terminal notifications or title renaming (the examples used in the post). I'm always in the terminal, I don't need notified to come back to a terminal I'm already using.If I'm wrong please tell me but it's worked for me for years without too many issues across tons of terminal emulators from iTerm to gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal to windows terminal.
