For what it's worth, they actually updated the trilogy to make it suck less, by a lot.

But why would RB even listen to them? As if they care about how well the Mexico GP sells. They care about their team's performance.

Idk, this is one of those rumours where any bit of critical thinking points to it not being true. Not saying it's your fault or anything.

I have trouble believing that rumour, how would the FOM even find out before it's too late?

I was regretting reading the comments, until I saw this:

Hi, I'm one of the cyber security experts consulted early on around the social media age restriction legislation.

Concerns about any centralised database of Australian citizens and their age maintained by the government was canvassed early on and advised very heavily against very early on, as was sharing of existing government databases. These things are not in the legislation. There is no bipartisan support for the Australian ID card. There is no government honeypot of personally information in this legislation. Per the consultaiton process, the vast majority of persons over the age of 18 already have their age verified through these platforms using existing methods such as credit card verification.

The legislation explicitly states it will be up to the social media companies to enforce the age restrictions. The government, through the E-Safety Commisioner, is to monitor the system not to run the system. The legislation does NOT mandate a method for social media companies to enforce this system or allow them access to government systems. In fact... the existing acts specifically prohobit that.

This brings us to the Digital ID Act of 2024 (which comes into effect today) allows sharing of digital ID information between Federal and State governments. There are provisions to allow sharing with specific types of private organisations from December 2026 with some pretty serious restrictions. It's also an opt-in system. A lot of the statements in the news stories you clipped from here are factually wrong if you read the actual legislation.

You shouldn't confuse election pitches - whether from Labour or Liberal/National politicians - or statements by activists with a clear agenda with the actual policies that pass parliament.

Putting her on the streets would not really solve anything either. It would just exacerbate any issues and prevent long term re-integration.

Not that she's young or anything, but the punishment shouldn't change based on the person

It does have a free plan, but you did not mention price so I thought that wasn't an issue.

The idea is that she raises that legitimately. It's a good law in theory, imo: if you can pay back 75% before sentencing, you get to live.

It's time for game publishers to think about in-game video as something beyond marketing alone," said Rhys Elliott, games analyst, MIDiA Research. ''By reclaiming video engagement, publishers have the potential to unlock new revenue streams, like advertising, and drive growth.''

Oh my, thank you! I did not know that existed!

If that was a direct link, it didn't work on mobile for me. But I found it:

In a follow-up post a day after his initial Tweet, Johnie noted “inaccuracy in the ASUS router tool.” Other LG smart washing machine users showed device data use from their apps. It turns out that these appliances more typically use less than 1MB per day.

 

Sorry for the quality, it's a rip from instagram

 

Description:

Hi everyone! Today, I’m incredibly excited to share with you a project that represents over 12 months of dedication, creativity, and love for the Zelda franchise. This cinematic video is my way of honoring the 18th anniversary of Zelda: Twilight Princess, a game that has inspired so many of us over the years.

Creating this project has been an unforgettable journey, one of pushing limits, learning new skills, and reimagining a beloved world with the hope of inspiring you to see it in a new light. I hope it reminds you that with passion and perseverance, anything is possible. 💪✨

A huge thank you to Mosik, the insanely talented composer who created an absolutely breathtaking soundtrack for this project. Her music elevates every moment to a whole new level of magic! 🎵🔥

Summary

The Dutch ban on exporting F-35 fighter jet spare parts to Israel can remain, according to the Supreme Court’s senior legal advisor. Advocate general Paul Vlas stated the appeal court was “justified in concluding that there is a clear risk that Israel’s use of F-35 fighter jets could lead to serious violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza.” The export of military goods must be prohibited under international agreements if such a risk exists.

NGOs Oxfam Novib, Pax Nederland, and The Rights Forum filed a complaint, arguing that exporting U.S.-owned F-35 parts stored at Woensdrecht air base makes the Netherlands complicit in war crimes in Gaza. A lower court initially rejected the complaint, but an appeal court ruled in February that the risk of serious violations of humanitarian law is undeniable. Although the advocate general’s opinion is not binding, it is often followed. The Supreme Court will decide soon.

I generally browse "new" a few times to find new and interesting content, but this also means I will encounter a bunch of things I'm not interested in or simply don't understand, i.e. a regional community from another country.

I can use the filter option to filter the instance, community or user, but if you navigate to the community you can also hit "block".

What's the difference between these two, functionally?

Dungeon Clawler is out! (store.steampowered.com)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by donuts to c/games
 

Official description: Dungeon Clawler is a Roguelike Claw Machine Deckbuilder. Build your deck, grab weapons and items from the claw machine to battle enemies, discover powerful perks that create game-changing synergies and unleash crazy combos as you fight your way through the dungeon!

My take: I played the demo earlier this year and it was a blast. I'm really enjoying the "roguelite with a gameplay twist" fad at the moment with Ballionaire, Balatro, Solitairica, and now Dungeon Clawler.

The name of the game is absolutely not SEO-friendly, although it's a good name it's incredibly hard to find with search engines for some people. (Especially because Google likes to show you what Google thinks you are looking for, as opposed to what you are saying you're looking for)

At €/$ 8.99 (10% launch discount) this game is almost a steal. It's also on mobile for €/$ 4.99

I don't mind politics, but I do mind:

  • AI generated images
  • Porn
  • Anime models (all the "moe" stuff)
  • Something that combines above (like thirsty AI-generated anime models)
  • (RSS) bots that post links but there's never any discussion in the threads
  • Non-English content that I can’t read or local content that doesn't apply to me
  • Games I don't play (anymore) or will never play

Is there an easier way to curate content? Browsing "new" is like whack-a-mole.
