I mean, I would still file a complaint with whatever relevant government agency, worst that could happen is that things stay the same I figure.

In the US at least that is very much illegal, though I am going to guess this isn’t in the US.

Nah, the 1st amendment does protect non-citizens as well as citizens.

I mean, that all sounds to me like a really good argument for preserving copies of every single version of every game. To go back to your Shakespeare example, it would be a massive loss if any of those adaptations were not preserved to be found by those who went looking, so all we had to go on was records of people talking about them. In fact, there are at least a few examples of exactly that: Homer’s Illiad and Odyssey are only parts of a much larger series which we only know exist because we have other records discussing it.

Yeah, just taking snapshots of everything isn’t going to let you perfectly recreate the culture surrounding a game at any point in time, but having those snapshots around is important for giving context to other records you have.

It technically means the government needs to pass a very high bar before it can restrict any kind of speech, that bar being strict scrutiny.

Of course, the view of the public and the court historically has been that blocking union busting activities has passed strict scrutiny, since it a) is justified by the government’s interest in preventing the kind of violence that occurred when union busting was allowed, b) doesn’t restrict actions outside of union busting, so it’s narrowly tailored, and c) is the least restrictive method yet proposed, only other method I can think of is compelling union membership for everyone.

If ethical reasons are a concern, you might want to avoid Trader Joe’s as well on account of their union busting activities.

Not really no. SMS is nowhere near as versatile as a service like Discord in terms of being able to meet new people or have conversations that don’t overload unrelated but potentially interested people with notifications.

As much as I’d love that idea, I would guess there are financial reasons to not allow things like that, as both advertisers and credit card companies seem to really hate erotic and erotic adjacent media.

I assume the rich neighborhoods will have already have had their pipes replaced, in which case it would only be those people who are affected. Not that I have anything to back that suspicion up.

Technically that’s still on appeal, and tbh I do expect it to get overturned somewhere.

The game looks good, and I first heard about it because they are hiring a dedicated narrative designer.

No idea, but the number 01011985 isn’t anything except a birthday.

I saw a shocking number of birthdays from the 1980s.

IIRC homes are protected in bankruptcy, because someone decided it would be unfair to inflict homelessness on someone for committing the crime of being broke (irony very intended).

Didn’t even offer a refund it sounds like.

“Hey, I know we just fucked up and let a ton of personal information out into the wild. As compensation how would you like to keep using us?”

I will point out there are actually pretty good driverless cars, they just aren’t made by Tesla. Look up Waymo if you want to look into them.

I’m going to second this, the linked video explains a lot of the controversy really well.

I agree it would be best for Wikipedia to address this on their end, but I have actually no idea where to begin with asking them to make a change like this.

It actually does switch automatically on mobile, just not desktop, which is why I get annoyed enough when it happens to mention it.
