A kid pirating a game is not a "lost sale". That kid doesn't have the money to buy the game anyway.

A kid with pirated games will however grow up to be into videogames, and buy a whole lot of them later in life.

That money is what the game industry runs on.

Hay algo que debe quedar absolutamente claro: en un Gobierno PP - Vox, todo, TODO lo que se hace se hace porque al PP no le parece mal. El PP no "es forzado a aceptar" NADA. Ya se vio en los Gobiernos con Ciudadanos: o se hace lo que el PP quiere o no se hace nada —y, en las escasas ocasiones en los que se vio realmente obligado a aceptar algo, fue revertido con SAÑA en las subsecuentes legislaturas

GTK4-4.23.1 released for Haiku (64bit), with this a few new libraries got to see the light:
* libspelling-0.4.10
* libshumate-1.6.1
A few got their GTK4 counterpart:
* atkmm-2.36.4
* gtkmm-4.23.0
A few were updated:
* libadwaita-1.9.1
* gtksourceview5-5.20.0
* gcr_gtk4-4.4.0
* cairomm-1.18.0
* pangomm-2.56.1

Most basic things should be available now to play around for others on 64bit.

Latest test, Typesetter-0.13.0 build in Terminal.

Personas ciegas de mastodon, me recomiendan algun parchís accesible para jugar con mis sobrinos este verano? Algo decente aparte de los de la tienda de la once? Gracias 😘

Muy buenas gente de #reparacion de ordenadores de #Madrid.

Tengo dos o tres portátiles para revisar y, si sirven de algo, regalar a quien lo necesite.

¿Conoceis algún grupo, asociación, rebaño artiodáctilo o similar que haga cosas de esas?

Pluralistic: Spying on kids to save kids from spying is very, very stupid (23 Jun 2026) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

EU needs to make a stand on Play Integrity. If app devs enforce Play Integrity, this means only Google Certified devices can use banking, etc. This excludes all alternative mobile OS. No #postmarketOS, no #SailfishOS, no Android derivatives #GrapheneOS etc. You don't need Play Integrity. If someone is capable to install or use alternative OS, they sure know what to install or not install, it is on their responsibility. Using non-root but bootloader unlocked device (otherwise can't use alternative OS) does not make my device less secure. On the contrary, it is using an up to date OS with the latest security patches. Do we really want all mobile devices have to be Google Certified? No. #mobile #integrity #bootloader #unlocked #nonsense #Europe

@cstross @quixoticgeek Narnia is Middle Earth, except *everyone* is Jar-Jar Binks. Especially Mr Tumnus.

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars.

AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

In my 20s I asked a mate how will I know if a girl I'm dating is the one to marry. He said I should meet her friends, that if I can't bear them then she's not the one. Took me 15 years to realise he was paraphrasing Spice Girls' Wannabe as life advice.

"Maus has secured a religious exemption effectively allowing her to skip using AI for her work."

Apparently Hasbro has begun demanding that CHILD ACTORS in their cartoon series like Peppa Pig sign over the rights for the company to use #AI to clone their voices for future commercial use.

CHILD ACTORS are being asked to sign away control of their voices.

I think this should be illegal. Parents should not have the legal right to sign away their child’s voice or likeness to be turned into corporate assets forever.

Vaya desastre de relaciones públicas lo de @mullvadnet.

Aparece un post en Reddit comentando lo de su cofundador dando perras a un partido que apuesta por la "remigración".

El post se llena de racistas, fascistas y, seguramente, más de un nazi apoyando este gesto.

Absolutamente NADIE del Mullvad aparece para decir nada. Con lo que, de facto, pasa a ser una VPN apoyada por racistas, fascistas y, seguramente, más de un nazi.

Es que es increíble.
