There’s a lot more here than what the headline captures, about Flock, their lies, and how their systems’ widespread use affects communities. It’s worth a watch.

This looks like the Italian company in question:

Sad to see that so many FANTASTIC games ended up with nil, because E33 stole the show so hard, but it’s tough to argue that they didn’t deserve each one.

I’ll argue it.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a gorgeous creation. The music is wonderful, the scenery is lovely, and the English voice acting surprisingly good.

But its gameplay is bog standard JRPG battles with a basic parry mechanic. Nothing original or interesting there.

I feel it deserved every award it received for being a work of art, but Game of the Year? No.

Hi-Fi Rush was released before that time, but it was Denuvo-encumbered until about a week ago.

Pre-ordering games encourages publishers to release buggy, unoptimized, incomplete, garbage.

And, since there’s no scarcity, the assurance you might get from pre-ordering physical goods doesn’t exist here.

Please don’t do it.

For today’s lucky 5000:

Most astonishing for me, that it’s still called Master bedroom and bathroom, which has that direct origin.

The word master does not originate from slavery. If you study the etymology, you’ll also find that it significantly predates slave, and has more than a few meanings that are not even remotely related to slavery.

Authorities deemed that the offenders were “likely to pose a significant danger when driving a car”.

That’s quite a leap of reasoning.

There is no amount of effort or money that can correct some of the harms done.

I wish we would use a better measure than money to describe the societal impact of health problems.

Especially the ones we inflict upon ourselves and each other.

I have no objective evidence, but I would find it easy to believe.

I’m more curious about how the hours spent watching movies and TV shows combined compare to the hours spent on video games, and how the two are changing over time in various countries.

Interesting.

Do note, though, that I said entertainment time, not entertainment industry revenue.

On KDE Plasma, I would stick with Kate and hide/disable some the fancier interface features. It might seem like overkill, but since it’s built from common components that other KDE apps use anyway, the effective resource consumption will probably be light. And Kate is quick.

On a Gtk desktop, you might try Mousepad. This is what I used before moving away from Xfce.

Only? That makes it seem as though gaming were a negligible fraction of the world’s entertainment time. It wouldn’t surprise me if it surpassed movies before long, if it hasn’t already.

I think I see your point though: RAM prices affect even more people than that.

Remember how graphics card prices tripled several years ago, and never came back to sane prices?

Sigh.
