No mention of a license but it talks about being the “official version”, suggesting one can fork it.

Innovate means needing to pay for an online service to transfer saves between consoles, saves stored on an SD card?

Do they DMCA fan made games because the game concepts have been fully fleshed out?

When copyright expires for FZero in a century perhaps we can find out if there’s more to be done (well, not us personally).

Perhaps they add code to split physics and grsphical fps.

If such a person doesn’t deserve sympathy, who does?

There are people out there with short-range, wireless pacemakers with no security. Most just provide information you’d expect but some of them are also defibrillators (they can kill). As far as I know none have been harmed in an hacked attack but a hacked brain implant brings to mind more than just killing the owner. We may have an interest as a society in making this illegal because it’s not worth the gamble to us for people’s actions to be hijacked remotely.

I don’t understand how one could think brain implants is a totally safe invention for a society. Did you consider more possibilities than just manipulating people into to physically attacking others?

Even the worst people in history were at some point just a child that we could have potentially saved. Even as an adult, or after doing evil, I think sympathy and compassion never stops being the right answer. It’s just in practice we have to prioritise: the needy, the many.

I used to think LGBT legal issues were just a case of speading information, but my hope in conversation is rock bottom.

This appears to be a harmful action that can be more easily attributed to malice rather than protection. I expect some protests will contain violence in return.

Is the most effective target not to just find another place to buy it illegally? Certainly more realistic that to have any affect in politics.

Do we need to do anything? Microsoft updates do the bulk of the work - surely everyone has a last straw?

Hopefully most have a tech literate friend within their circle, and the wherewithal to test their assumptions. It falls to the tech literate create the alternatives and preach the values of software freedom.

If Android could stop “warning” me to enable Google Play services 8 times a day that would be great.

I now require people who offer me to try out a solar powered car to provide directions to said car, lest your comment be labeled a sarcastic cock-tease.

Maybe they should, but focusing on adding new features endlessly is how we ended up with this state of internet browsers. The most complex app running on a desktop are too big, it’s basically impossible to create a new one. (Yes you can fork but that’s just adding toppings to ice cream). The browser war ends only one way.

If we break up the do-everything application into significant parts then a healthy “war” can exist. Why does a browser need to play video, you already have an app for that.

Which projects?

I use CoreCtrl to control my GPU, mainly for setting a lower power limit and controlling max fan speed. May not be ideal for a new users as, last time I checked, it is difficult to install.

The Gemini I know is “an application-layer internet communication protocol for accessing remote documents, similar to HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and Gopher”. It’s not used much but it could be a useful alternative to the, now Google controlled, internet. Maybe Google named their project Gemini to obfuscate a potential competitor for simple web pages (or perhaps both project teams are bad at choosing names - if Gemini isn’t a human cloning machine you’re doing it wrong).
