No new impact, because the ruling is about online marketplaces, which pre-scan / moderate every new posting anyway due to multiple legal obligations that exist already. TechCrunch analysis says that the ruling is too broad and applies out of this context but I don’t see it there and the case they’re making isn’t very solid. I think they recognise this as an attack on how ad industry works because checking if the ad is legal before allowing it would be a huge boon to societies worldwide, but also an enormous cost for companies selling ad-spaces.

They paid salary of a single developer. FEX isn’t developed by a single person. Kind of expected with how little credit is given to Wine when they talk about Proton.

It would make sense to sell every IP they can piecemeal to get some return on this investment.

If I had to guess then Saudi (or MBS) wanted EA FC which can now return to being EA FIFA now with extra Ronaldo. Saudi have enough influence over FIFA via PIF to make this happen.

£3.1m is like a yearly salary for a team of hardware engineers. This sounds like a token investment that looks good in a press release, or a token investment that will go into pockets of someone closely associated. Or both.

We’re a trifecta perfect-o.

Aren’t shootings pretty common in America? Was a matter of time a soldier got shot rather than a kid at school.

YouGov and ESA conducted a 5-minute online survey in the U.S. from September 26-30, 2025 among 1,912 respondents ages 5-65 recruited from YouGov’s proprietary online panel. Data is weighted to be representative of the overall U.S. population in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, education and census region. Respondents ages 5 to 17 were asked to complete the survey under the supervision of a parent.

If you want to know proprietary information that provides competitive advantage like weights applied then you might be out of luck, however publishing garbage would destroy YouGov reputation quick and so they don’t have that much incentive to fudge numbers.

With the power of math you don’t have to. I’m a data analyst by trade so I take offence to this question every time.

It’s normal for a person experiencing psychosis to have trouble understanding reality through a lens of a sane person, yes.

This will be so fun once AfD wins elections.

I have an LG OLED B2 for a couple of reasons that remain true of LG OLEDs and new TVs:

• LG has the best OLED longevity results on Rtings tests
• supports Dolby Vision (Samsung pushes some „standards” nobody is using)
• VRR / FreeSync (if you play video games this is a must have on a modern TV)
• jailbroke mine to add ambient lighting via HyperHDR, ESP controller and a LED strip (total cost of something like $40)

My one other observation is that new TVs are marketed on how bright they get. It’s like Gillette razors with 20 blades but replace that with 3000 nits. I don’t have my B2 nowhere near max brightness because it’s eye-searing and reduces OLED lifespan. Brightness this high only makes sense if you’re going to watch your TV in the middle of an electronics store showroom.

As to UI, ads and spyware. Every vendor UI is horrible and will push ads on you eventually - don’t connect it to network, get an Apple TV set top box, set TV to use that input at start and never worry about that. I’m still using my 2017 one and while showing age it’s still faster than every TV I’ve seen.

No point in reading the books - GRRM didn’t finish this series either. Said he’d do so after GoT. So probably never.

And Minsk Agreement.

And Minsk Agreement 2: The Son of Minsk.

Seems like we’re getting „Russia is not a trustworthy partner in anything” trilogy. Hope everyone is building nukes because that’s the only deterrent that works. World peace, everyone.

I came to accept this is the least US-centric world news community at the price of Australia being overrepresented. This kind of local crime news from US screams „I’m don’t like Trump and I will shoehorn negative news about anything tangentially related everywhere”. I have enough of that everywhere else.

Fake policeman being a pedophile isn’t world news.

Yep, it was a fascist march, not a nazi one. How can they not tell the difference 🫠

Gabe Newell is a CEO of a very small company, staff-wise, can’t feign ignorance.

That company runs multiple games with lootboxes and doesn’t make any attempt at restricting gambling from underage customers. They were restricted from doing so in some jurisdictions, can’t feign ignorance.

If you go even deeper there is evidence of Valve being perfectly aware (and amused!) that their item marketplace is used to facilitate offsite gambling on esports events.

Gabe Newell runs multiple online casinos.

Are you one of those people that think Uber is a tech company and not a taxi company because they have an app?
