There aren’t any, thats the point I’m making. Petitions produce sample bias that excludes the opinions of people who don’t want their legal name and home address printed on a document that might get passed around God-knows-where.


Information on Personal Data:

To sign, you must provide a set of personal data, which is required by the authorities of your country for verification purposes. Specific measures are in place to ensure the protection of your data. See our privacy statement.

Perhaps if signing a petition didn’t require doxxing yourself then more people would sign.

I realize that it’s to prevent fake signatures and allow verification that the signatories are residents of the jurisdiction under petition, but this method inherently creates a sampling bias.

In the same vein as age verification, we need a solution for digital attestation that preserves anonymity and privacy. There are some initiatives in this direction, so perhaps we will get there some day.


Now this is web-design I can get behind.

This game sounds like it has some really interesting ideas. The comparisons with Rez and the description of the game made me think of Thumper, which is also a game you should definitely try.



The people who pirate your game were never going to buy it anyway. Don’t lose sleep over it.





So then what happens when someone spoofs a GPS signal outside your AI datacenter? … I think I like this idea.


The character animation looks mediocre, like they haven’t updated their mo-cap rigs in 15 years. The facial animation is also way behind the state of the art. For a 2026 AAA game, it’s disappointing.


The irony is that if we didn’t have the tracking scripts blocked then they might actually receive the metrics about how we close their website as soon as the newsletter popup occurs, leading them to fix or remove it. Probably not though.


Would have liked to see more Hexen and less Minecraft aesthetic, but it looks like fun.



Oh I see. That’s just measuring tracking scripts on websites. It’s not particularly relevant to what is discussed in the article (data sovereignty of cloud providers).


I could also edit the URL manually, it’s just an obnoxious way to respond to a question.



Certainly the Blacklight test show that Microsoft EU respect way more the privacy (forced by law) than Microsoft US.

What test?


However, when the Steam Deck 2 comes out—probably next year

Really?



Reportedly, an updated 12V-2×6 power cable is implicated, as opposed to the older but closely related 12VHPWR cable, which is a worry.

For the record, the card in question was a Zotac RTX 5070 model paired with a Seasonic Focus GX-750 power supply. It’s worth noting that it was the cable that suffered unambiguous damage here, not the graphics card or even, seemingly, the power connector or socket.

JK Rowling is a transphobe, a bigot, and a fascist.






Missing the most important spec for me: weight





Apparently they have barely produced any so they will all be sold out anyway.




No, it means that Linux systems also need to blacklist the keys in their UEFI firmware. I don’t know if distros push updates for those blacklists or if you have to do it manually.


RIP Benny Harvey, miss you big man. Gone but not forgotten.




You can exclude tags by going to your Store Settings page and scrolling down to “Tags to Exclude.” You can only exclude up to 10, and this only works for games that are actually tagged with the word. It doesn’t exclude keywords in the description. I don’t know how many games are actually tagged with “dystopian.” I get 3195 results when I search for the “Dystopian” tag, so at least you can exclude those.

This works best for genre types.


Most people know at this point that when searching for a popular software package to download, you should be very careful to avoid clicking on any of the search ads that appear, as this has become an extremely common vector for distributing malware to unsuspecting users. If you thought that you could identify these malicious ads by checking the URL below the ad to see if it directs to the legitimate site, think again! Malware advertisers have found a way to use Google's Ad platform to fake the URL shown with the ad to make it appear like a legitimate ad for the product when in fact, clicking the ad will redirect to an attacker controlled site serving malware. Don't click on search ads or, even better, use an ad-blocker so that you never see them in the first place! ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/2509d3d9-244f-4eee-abcd-61eee02816c3.png)
