I admit I’m sharing this because I’m hyped to see the London Conference represented. Finally I’ll be able to rectify the historical injustice of losing half of Limburg to the Dutch.

Overuse of emojis can also really be annoying for people using screen readers. They clapping hands get clapping hand to clapping hands hear clapping hands something clapping hands like clapping hands this. So it’s also an accessibility issue.

It’s nice that they don’t shy away from overhauling existing systems completely (instead of tacking on new systems).

Many people have purposefully moved away from Big Tech platforms, often because they cause them harm. Who are you to judge their defederation - which is a core feature of the Fediverse btw - as laughable? Every instance is free to decide their own policies, that’s the whole point.

I don’t have nor do I want shares in the arms industry. I’m not a fucking ghoul.

More money for the death-machine and profits for the shareholders, hurray!

I’m afraid it’s mostly that last one.

Watch people flock to yet another corporate social media honeypot instead of going for something less dystopian.

Are you referring to the Digital Markets Act that would force some large tech players to allow interoperability?

I think it’s a great step forward, although I think it’s only in 2024 that those changes will actually happen.

I have similar issues running Gnome on AMD.

The English peasantry has to be reminded of their place in society!

I think you’ll find that the conflict is quite a bit older than Hamas is.

Vic3 is a great sandbox right now, but still feels a bit empty. With the warfare patch and some more specific flavors packs, it’ll be top-notch I think.

This won’t do, they don’t have a pun or funny reference in their URL!

Really goes for almost everything. I don’t want my machines and appliances to be ‘smart’ and ‘connected’. I just want them to do the thing I use them for, that’s it.

Use any messaging app and choose to make it default. Make core messaging functionality interoperable. They lay out concrete examples like file transfer.

I’ve read some things like this. Is it correct that messaging services will need to interoperate? WhatsApp, Messenger, iMessage? Would love to be able to message people that I can’t easily reach now from Signal for instance.

Good, long overdue.

Is there anything on the accompanying Digital Markets Act and it’s effects? I can’t seem to find any comprehensive recent articles.

It’s main purpose is to make some die-hards angry, I think.

I’m very happy with the game at its base, especially the economic simulation. Excellent starting point for stuff like this!

I’m also not that put off by the warfare system. It was never the main focus of the series and I’m happy they’re at least testing out new formats. It’s also the best one to try them out I think. I expect great improvements in the next few years of updates.

Are those still playable? Loved those, great vibe!
