Wondering how long the blogpost would be if it explained what the flow for corpoloading applications approved by Google's shareholders would be?

The first step was finding out the pre-prod sever through the hash of the site's favicon in Shodan [1]

Ultimately I decided against it because I like being able to use a web-app based reader (Tiny Tiny RSS [2]) both on my work computer and my phone for RSS.

An excerpt:
> I assume you've spotted the pattern by now: the US trade representative has forced every one of its trading partners to adopt anticircumvention law, to facilitate the extraction of their own people's data and money by American firms. But of course, that only raises a further question: Why would every other country in the world agree to let America steal its own people's money and data, and block its domestic tech sector from making interoperable products that would prevent this theft?
> Here's an anecdote that unravels this riddle: many years ago, in the years before Viktor Orban rose to power, I used to guest-lecture at a summer PhD program in political science at Budapest's Central European University. And one summer, after I'd lectured to my students about anticircumvention law, one of them approached me.
> They had been the information minister of a Central American nation during the CAFTA negotiations, and one day, they'd received a phone-call from their trade negotiator, calling from the CAFTA bargaining table. The negotiator said, "You know how you told me not to give the Americans anticircumvention under any circumstances? Well, they're saying that they won't take our coffee unless we give them anticircumvention. And I'm sorry, but we just can't lose the US coffee market. Our economy would collapse. So we're going to give them anticircumvention. I'm really sorry."
> That's it. That's why every government in the world allowed US Big Tech companies to declare open season on their people's private data and ready cash.
> The alternative was tariffs. Well, I don't know if you've heard, but we've got tariffs now!
> I mean, if someone threatens to burn your house down unless you follow their orders, and then they burn your house down anyway, you don't have to keep following their orders. So…Happy Liberation Day?
It's similar to the international layout, but focuses on the French subset of use-cases.
Try out the online preview.
I'm not competing on the leaderboard, but it's still a fun incentive to go instreets I don't usually go through to see if there is a design I haven't encountered yet.
Instead I'm playing ARC Raiders which works perfectly on Linux and I don't regret a thing.

If they contribute to FEX at even a fraction of what they did to wine and Proton it is indeed huge.
> Steam Frame is a PC, and runs SteamOS powered by a Snapdragon® 8 Series Processor. With 16GB of RAM, Steam Frame supports stand-alone play on a growing number of both VR and non-VR games without needing to stream from your PC.
So Steam + Proton works on aarch64? Is this something already available/supported, or is this an announcement?

Reading it I learned about the term "monopsony" which is "a market in which goods or services are offered by several sellers but there is only one buyer" which is usually conflated with monopoly.

Any other clients I should be looking at, for this particular MUD but also others? Are they generic enough to be used with multiple games?
Completely agree with you, and so does Ross Scott, the principal proponent of the Stop Killing Games movement.
Unfortunately "Video Games are art" is still too controversial of a take so the focus is currently on the customer protection angle, as the road for this argument is already paved by existing EU legislature.
With always-on-DRMs, server-based multiplayer service games, and even things like exclusive streaming-only video games, even having access to the data required to run what you purchased can be literally impossible.
- a) patch to game the game playable in single-player mode locally
- b) binaries to self-host a server
would satisfy that requirement.
Note that the details of implementations of any law that would advance the cause are still to be discussed, which is the whole point of the petition.
More on what would be expected and some example use-cases are available in the FAQ of the Stop Killing Games official web-page: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/faq

Over the past year, we have successfully escalated complaints on this problem to consumer agencies in France, Germany, and Australia, and have brought forth petitions for new law on this problem to various countries. A list of the actions taken to date can be viewed here. As of 2025, most consumer action on this matter has concluded and we are awaiting decisions on it from several governments. However, there are a few remaining avenues left where people can participate if they are eligible.
[European Citizens' Initiative] is the most powerful option at our disposal, but it requires a massive number of signatures from citizens of EU countries in order to pass. If we can pass the signature threshold, there is a very strong chance that the European Commission will pass new law that will both protect consumer rights to retain video games that they have purchased and advance preservation efforts massively.
