@FinnMcC69230537@SuperMarioFact It took me over 6 months to optimise the layout and data on a website to even be considered to qualify for the "discover" queue (the news section this showed up in), I'm 90% certain this doesn't qualify.... yet here we are...
@Genki_JPN The UK Nintendo website is also showing the exact same selection of games in its highlight reel (the scrolling banner at the top of the homepage)
It's quite unusual since the jp stores often shows older games for much longer, they'd usually still be showing splatoon raiders/etc.
@Smellroydb@internetarchive It was only insecure BECAUSE it was everywhere so people spent more time looking for security flaws.
Since flash "died", quite a lot of security flaws in other software have come to light that that have gone un-noticed for 10+ years.
@Baroque_lover@Rainmaker1973 On a similar note "Terra" is the name of our planet.
"Earth" should technically refer to any planet you're stood on, so if/when we land on Mars, we should refer to it as "Earth" if using the original definition of the word.
@kahraba_shehab@Taimumari It's very rare that Sony actually remove games from accounts.
So it's unlikely you'll lose access.
(and in the rare events where they have removed access they've always automatically given store credit equal to the purchase cost.)
@lnxsec@Pirat_Nation One solution here would be to force devs to host their servers on the app stores' platforms, I.e. any external server MUST be hosted on apple's systems, allowing them to review the entire back-end programming.
But that wouldn't go down well...
@lnxsec@Pirat_Nation I.e. a crypto app would almost certainly need a web server to connect to the web3 systems for transaction processing.
It's easy for a dev to modify that server without changing the app itself... and hence not triggering a new review.
@LamCran007@Pirat_Nation Easier browsing/installing process.
There's plenty of 3rd party app stores that have much less censorship, along with the inherent risks that brings.
@der_chuddie@Pirat_Nation The thing is, the reviews check whether or not the app is legit, it can't check external factors, so in this case the app likely connected to a "normal" web server at first and then the devs swapped how the server worked or took the data directly. No way a review can catch that.
@MCiebien@Rainmaker1973 I still have an old pc in my bedroom which is from the era when serial was still widely used but slowly being phased out.
So it has 1 serial, 2 PS/2 and 2 USB ports.
I had a printer an a mouse that both used serial... had to learn to use the keyboard to print stuff.
@perkasami@BarriKiley@ReaditNweep666@Rainmaker1973 Again that's not the only test performed but usually the first, as a lack of self-awareness indicates a lack of sentience. (Though admittedly doesn't mean with 100% certainty that the subject is not sentient)
@perkasami@BarriKiley@ReaditNweep666@Rainmaker1973 One of the very first tests to measure sentience is to place a mark or similar thing onto the subjects body and put them in front of a mirror, if they reach for the mark/etc. then they recognise that it's themselves in the mirror.

@SHOEKINGx23@archpng From what I can make out, they had government permission to cover up any "advertisements" without needing the owner's permission.
They then treated this as an advertisement and covered it up in a permenant manner...
