There was a lot of panic about "killer games" in the 90s-00s. Politicians and parents blamed video games for school shootings. Nowadays nobody cares about the topic at all, but the strict rules remain. Steam just kind of ignored the local laws so far, but now decided to actually adhere to them.

I'd much rather have them be overzealous and mistakenly block an addon for a few hours, than have them be too lax and approve addons actually stealing data.

It was 35 years ago, not hard to believe that he just slightly misremembers it. People could still have been warning him not to go in August.

Removing a country from the UN for doing horrible things would defeat the UN's entire purpose.

Aus meiner Sicht Aufgabe der Eltern auf die Internetnutzung ihrer Kinder zu achten. Gibt ansonsten ja auch Software, die den Internetzugriff lokal auf einem Gerät einschränkt. Wenn man unbedingt eine gesetzliche Lösung will dann könnte man ja die Nutzung solcher Software für Kinder vorschreiben. Damit würden zumindest die Rechte der Erwachsenen auf freien, anonymen Internetzugang nicht angetastet werden. Für notwendig halte ich es aber nicht.

Basically, if PlaytronOS works as promised, then your handheld PC will no longer be restricted to just single store fronts or Windows foibles.

Does the writer here assume that SteamOS is limited to a single storefront? Because that couldn't be further from the truth. As you can see on Playtron's website, they use the same launchers that you can already use on SteamOS, like Heroic.

You could easily run your Game Pass catalog on your Steam Deck, for example.

That is highly doubtful. I'd be very impressed if Playtron got Gamepass to work on Linux but let's be real here, they didn't.

Vor allem beides NATO Staaten, wenn Deutschland im Krieg mit Russland ist sind das Norwegen und Dänemark ziemlich sicher auch.

I was downvoted before for suggesting the Pinetab is not a viable Android or iPad replacement. That thing doesn't even have a working wifi driver yet, you have to plug in a dongle just to connect to wifi. I'd love to have good smart devices running Linux one day, but we're not there yet.

Some desperate scalpers on ebay are already trying to sell the 512GB version for 1000€. Despite the fact that you can still order one for half the price and receive it within 6-10 days.

Had stick insects for a while. Very easy to care for. In fact kind of too easy, as the main challenge is to stop them from rapidly multiplying in number. They can also procreate asexually, just cloning themselves over and over.

Die einzige Hoffnung die ich für die Partei habe, ist dass sie vielleicht der AfD ein paar Stimmen wegnimmt und sich als nicht ganz so rassistische Partei für Schwurbler, "Protestwähler" usw etabliert. Wäre auch schön, wenn mit dem Abzug der Wagenknechtfraktion die Linke irgendwann wieder zu einer wählbaren Partei wird.

I have an Epson Ecotank (ET-2810) and am pretty happy with it. No DRM on the ink, though I haven't even needed to fill it up since I bought in in december 2021. Wifi printing works.
