In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years.
Good news. However shouldn’t that also include online age verification?
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
Not that old yet, but I’m currently finishing The Alters. It’s a beautiful, atmospheric survival game with a relatively simple gameplay loop but intriguing background story. I’d say play it once for the story.

What are you on about? If they get 95% of the population with this it’s still a huge win for them.
- Comment on Really tall people see others differently. For example, they see more of others' heads and less of others' bodies. They also see more of the background. 4 weeks ago:
Weeeellll, you just need to crouch, the smaller person needs a stepping stool or ladder. One is logistically easier than the other by far.
- Comment on Spain announces plans to ban social media for under-16s 1 month ago:
No you didn’t, you asked for an alternative response, which I provided: education instead of prohibition.
- Comment on Spain announces plans to ban social media for under-16s 1 month ago:
Sorry but the proposed ways to approach the situation is akin to putting everyone in jail just to be sure, because a handful of people are criminals. I’m a parent myself, so I’m well aware of the dangers and difficulties. Guess what? Those dangers don’t vanish when you hit 18. You’ll just be even less prepared to identify fake ragebait content. Everyone needs to be educated on the matter so that parents can do a better parenting job.
- Comment on Macron says France to fast-track social media ban for kids under 15 1 month ago:
- I was commenting on the availability of ID apps, not on the participation in social media and other services
- Internet access and privacy are human rights. If those are taken from anyone, for example by mandating becoming a big tech customer to access ID apps, it becomes at least a social issue, if not a legal one.
- Comment on Macron says France to fast-track social media ban for kids under 15 1 month ago:
The only official ID apps I’ve ever seen only run exclusively on android and ios. Meaning you can’t partake in any digital governmental services without being a google or apple customer. Which seems at least flawed, if not down right illegal.

Smart. Can’t install Linux if you can’t log out of Windows.
- Comment on US Trade Dominance Will Soon Begin to Crack 2 months ago:
How can you say this with a straight face? All fascist parties have record numbers, workers rights are being targeted across the board, digital privacy is a thing of the past. We’re like barely half a step behind. The oligarchy doesn’t care about states or continents. The EU is on the menu just as much as the US

If someone else is in the mood for Skyrim but has done everything in it, try out Tainted Grail - Fall of Avalon. It plays like a smaller Oblivion. It really scratched the itch for more Elder Scrolls for me.

Cosmos has a comparison chart if it helps: github.com/azukaar/Cosmos-Server?tab=readme-ov-fi…
Other than that you’ll have to test out what fits your needs best. I use YunoHost and am happy with it, but I don’t expose my services

Good suggestion

I’m playing right now. When Verso tries to recruit Monoco to go to old Lumière, Monoco is like “No thanks, after last time I made a promise to never follow you again”, to which Verso responds “There’ll be lots of fights…”, and Monoco is “I’ll follow you anywhere!”. The delivery is a lot better obviously.

Witcher 3, which I played like 3 months ago. There was this one goofy quest where you had to save a mage by getting a magic book with a weird name that you could abbreviate to GOG. You needed a spell from it to disable the mage’s tower defence and regulatory management system (something along those lines), or DRM for short.
- Comment on Rise of the Tomb Raider -SteamDeck 4 months ago:
Got into Expedition 33 this week. Just got to the point where the huge stuffed puppet learned to swim. Gotta say, I don’t get the hype.
I think they tried to souls-likify a JRPG. But it just feels like combat is one QTE challenge after the other. No other mechanic really matters, at least on normal mode. Also it feels like the main story, which seems fresh and intriguing, barely gets glanced over, while interpersonal relationships get a korean drama level exposition.
I’ll tag along for a little while longer because the voice acting is stellar. The rest is meh IMHO
- Comment on Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests 4 months ago:
Having this info because of legitimate needs to provide a service and a third party processing it with AI without explicit consent for their benefit is a huge difference.
- Comment on Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests 4 months ago:
Of course I am referring to info my teammates would know too. Are you inferring that it’s fine that big corporations are profiling you based on what you’re chatting with your friends about?
- Comment on Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests 4 months ago:
To all the people in this thread hyping Linux. Please remember that those screenshots capture you as well if you play with windows users. If this becomes a staple and you refuse to be AI fodder, then multiplayer is pretty much dead to you.
- Comment on Amazon to replace 600,000 US workers by 2033 with robots 4 months ago:
In theory this is awesome. Humans aren’t built for menial tasks. All repetitive monotonous tasks should be automated. However, this doesn’t fit our current economic system. Obviously all automation needs to be taxed, so that we don’t have to live this paradox where each technological advancement is a risk to our livelihood.
