No, he used a Delorean because of the style, and something about the stainless steel construction that we'll never know the rest of. :P

Well, it depends. I mean the original story "The Time machine" I think very deliberately had a machine that was on the ground. I guess if you're "travelling" through time then you could follow your local location in the same way you do when it is moving forward at the normal rate.
The argument is more true for time machines that instantly move through time, like back to the future. Since yes it would need some way to account for planetary movement.
Yeah but it's meant to be bread and circuses to distract from government. In this case, it's bread and circuses, from the very top down.
It's good to see. The UK one is still ticking upward too (133.5k/100k). It's been an impressive last minute push.
Now, we wait and see I guess. I expect nothing useful to come from the UK one, but at least we force them to respond again. Even if it is the same response.
The EU one, I really do hope something comes of it.

This is my assumption too. It's disabled for me. I have no plans to change that.
Dave Williams, successfully sued for unjust termination and was returned to the service in 2006. Williams was again fired for brutality in 2009, and again reinstated.
America, we need to talk.
I was going to say. The fediverse isn't an echo chamber. It's a series of echo chambers, some of which even talk to eachother. :P
Aha, I see. So you mean there should be a community for anonymous posts. I think it's not inherently supported with ActivityPub. But I guess someone could create a bot that all posts went through. However for very obvious reasons the community would need to be moderated VERY efficiently.
They didn't close it. They provided an answer early. That as they see it, existing trade and consumer law should cover games and they don't plan on carving out extra legislation for it but they will "keep an eye on it".
Now it is over 100k, it doesn't actually mean anything more than they "might" debate it in parliament.
Now, don't get me wrong. I signed the petition, and I think they SHOULD look into it. But, my old cynical bones tell me that even if they do have a debate in parliament. It will be at a time when there will be 5 MPs in there, who will have nothing to say on the matter and it will be swept under the rug with a further canned statement drawn up by some civil servant in whitehall talking about consumer law just like the statement before.
Most western governments are on the side of industry, and that includes game developers. I cannot imagine they care about this subject and will do the bare minimum lip service to move past it.
I hope I'm wrong.
I do have a bit more hope for the European parliament. Just a little. They do seem to be a bit more pro-consumer. That is the one that matters most IMO.
Am I the only person that would be surprised if this place wasn't inhumane at this point?
