@adrianblomfield in today’s cable, “Vir fortis megalomanicus” you mention that Al Shabaab is allied with the Houthis. Does that mean that by default they are allied with Iran?
The “Stop Killing Games” movement gained traction because gamers are tired of paying full price for games that companies can later shut down, lock away, or render unplayable.
Many feel companies sell games as if you own them, but in reality you are just renting access until they decide otherwise.
European politician Markéta Gregorová said at the parliament: “If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing.”
She was not saying piracy is good. Her point was simple: if companies can take away games people already paid for, then calling it “buying” feels dishonest.
People are not asking companies to support games forever; they just want what they paid for to keep working instead of disappearing because a publisher flipped a switch.
PLEASE READ THIS: The congressional redistricting in Tennessee has nothing to do with race. I live in Memphis. This is the reality of the situation:
Rep. Steven Cohen (D-TN) - a white dude - has represented Memphis in Congress for nearly 20 years.
During his tenure, Republicans nominated a BLACK WOMAN as their choice FIVE times.
Democrats could have elected a black woman but she was the wrong political persuasion. So, my question to the black Democrats - did you deny Charlotte Bergmann her seat in Congress because of her skin color or her gender?
Facts matter.
Memphis Democrats loathe black Republicans more than they do white Republicans.
@TylerHODL17@cometwtf That’s why they keep changing the way that the CPI is calculated. They’ve changed it a number of times since 1980, each time somehow the calculation of the CPI was corrected down for some strange reason🤔
@LucasBotkin@BuffSprkChasr KAC had their 2.33 years before Unity, even ADM was in the game before Unity. Before all of them you had dudes in the GWOT just stacking mounts on pic risers
@Frank_Agura@nantaku_p_photo If these videos weren’t taken on the same day, same altitude, same weather conditions, we can’t really say these results are 100% accurate. There would be some variation.
Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today’s self-implosion by @rosadelauro was quite remarkable to witness. Without apology or regret, I will always adhere to the best available reading of federal statute pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright.
Starting in 2027, smartphones sold in the European Union will be required to have user-replaceable batteries designed for greater durability and more charging cycles.
Manufacturers must also provide spare parts and repair manuals for at least 10 years after a model is released.
This is real pressure against planned obsolescence. It should mean phones that actually last longer, cheaper fixes, and a lot less electronic waste piling up. About time.
