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.

Stop killing games has hit the orange site. Of course, someone is very distressed by the fact that democratic processes exist.

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.

 

Last Tuesday it looked like it wouldn't even reach 50% of the required signatures.

 

Daniel Stenberg is done with this shit.

That's it. I've had it. I'm putting my foot down on this craziness.

  1. Every reporter submitting security reports on #Hackerone for #curl now needs to answer this question:

"Did you use an AI to find the problem or generate this submission?"

(and if they do select it, they can expect a stream of proof of actual intelligence follow-up questions)

  1. We now ban every reporter INSTANTLY who submits reports we deem AI slop. A threshold has been reached. We are effectively being DDoSed. If we could, we would charge them for this waste of our time.

We still have not seen a single valid security report done with AI help.

 

This video was recommended to me and I found it quite sweet. Ben is a non-verbal quadriplegic who requires 24 hours care. His brother and caretaker created a custom software for him that can be controlled with two buttons. It has quite a lot of features by now, there is a keyboard with text-to-speech, movies and even some simple video games.

I find it astounding that it is possible to run the old x86 Crysis at decent frame rates on an ARM based phone.
