Remeber when Microsoft banned some Xbox players for screenshots they took in singleplayer, local games? Because it turns out all screenshots were uploaded to the cloud without properly informing users?
I think the issue is the same as Apple being anti-competitive about the AppStore. Sure, techically, both Steam and the PSN are platforms for selling games, but they’re each restricted to specific non-overlapping platforms (respictively PC and PlayStation) where there they have a (near for Steam, absolute for PSN) monopoly. Hence, anticompetitive behavior.
Microsoft’s announcement: “We are introducing a new Game Pass recommendation card on the Settings homepage. The Game Pass recommendation card on Settings Homepage will be shown to you if you actively play games on your PC.

J’imagine que les deputés Renaissance dans le groupe de gauche sont des ex-PS qui ont choisi de rester dans leur ex-groupe au niveau européen ? (ou qui y sont revenu en tournant leur veste une deuxième foix ?)
Nonetheless, experts expect the final agreement to be revealed by the end of March as the Parliament is pushing to close all the open legislative processes before the upcoming European elections scheduled in June.
So basically, the law’s unlikely to change much before being pushed to vote, which considering how stupid it is, it’s likely to be outright rejected like Chat Control by the Parliement.
That’s great news! Always hated those paywalled research papers and greedy publishers who get away with freaking 100% royalty. Hopefully other organisations will follow.
In which case the ban should have happened upon sharing not recording. I mean if it isn’t clear that the records you make of singleplayer offline games are published online, then banning someone for what they record feels more like moral policing than anything else tbh.
Lineage is the oldest one (Divest and /e/ are forks of it). Calyx has a focus on security and privacy (comes with a free VPN with no signup requires). Currzntly Calyx is based on Android 13, even on the Fairphone 4 which doesn’t have it supportes. I son’t know enough about iodé to comment about it though.
In Europe, next year, every phone will need to use usb-c. Since you’re probably not using multiple phones at once, having more than one charger is a waste of BOTH ressources and money. Having the charger separate BUT with the price included in the phone’s (because let’s be realistic, there is no such thing as ‘free’ in the mobile market, just fees you don’t see) would just raise the phone’s price for everyone (including myself).
So I’ll have to disagree. Having the phone NOT bundled with a charger is fighting both an economical and environemental waste.
La difference est assez simple: le Canada, c’est 40 millions d’habitants, l’Union Européenne, c’est un demi milliard. Forcement qu’une grosse entreprise du numerique a plus de pression sur elle pour respecter la loi quand elle ne peut pas se permettre de quitter un marché.
