Just a reminder that "Rome: Total War" had 24-bit audio in 2004, while Unreal supports only 16-bit audio today.

@deezthugs@liberdon.com It seems like it was removed from the malware list...

@deezthugs@liberdon.com Thanks! Still I would like to know what categorized it as such.

Apparently kutt.it is considered malicious by Google since today and Firefox won't let me use it. Does that mean there was something dangerous about kutt itself or that users linked malicious sites through it? Neither Google nor Firefox give an explanation.

Anyway, even if you use it, anyone who clicks your links with Firefox or Chrome will think they are malicious as well.

Can you suggest alternatives? Is Polr worth it?

In May and June 2020 we found and removed a group of Tor exit relays that were messing with exit traffic. They left almost all exit traffic alone, and we don't know whether any users were successfully attacked.

Thousands of arrests and a good dose of police brutality in Belarus during the protests.

As a EU citizen, I would like the EU to support the people of Belarus against Lukashenko's dictatorship. ✌️

If anyone knows more about the nature and dynamics of the protests right now, you are more than welcome to share some insight.

@Sphinx I didn't know. A quick search shows that they have problems with constant rain.

At least 8 dead by the floods on Evia, Greece. I think this kind of weather was rare here. The thunderstorm was extraordinary.

@art_zdesiseitsas Looks like a low-poly fantasy game + effects.
What's the concept of the story, if I may ask?

Under the 1837 Slave Compensation Act, the UK government borrowed £20m (over £2 billion in today's terms, £300b by some accounts) to pay off the families of slave-owners for releasing their slaves. This borrowing was only paid off in 2015 by British taxpayers.

The newly liberated people had received nothing.

University College London estimated that somewhere between 10-20% of Britain's wealthy can be identified as having had significant links to slavery.

@stux
Having the option to use :verified: is nice, but I think it's misleading for new users. :(
