Why injustice being a zero-sum game would make it easier to bear?

The incentives change once you get access to the entire EU market, either diminishing the risk or increasing the attractiveness of the the market to the point of that risk becoming acceptable

That is a very interesting take. Would you mind sharing some sources, preferably academic, that discuss the topic of agrarian/hunter-gatherer relations and its influence on historical stories and myths?

I replied to a comment below with this link: https://www.livemint.com/companies/carlos-slim-cuts-ties-wit...

I suppose those news are more of interest to the global south communities which is why western media don’t report on this (but that’s speculation on my part, since the news are indeed huge) - here’s an article from an Indian financial newspaper: https://www.livemint.com/companies/carlos-slim-cuts-ties-wit...

I believe this might be an ironic comment, since free room and free food usually come with a prison sentence.

Streaming services will be regulated in the coming months in EU

EDIT: as it’s been pointed out, the article doesn’t mention a time, which is a speculation on my part

I stand corrected, although from a policy-making perspective ScummVM allows users to run software acquired through ways not sanctioned by Apple (or owners of the original IPs), which I believe is the major part of why emulators are not allowed on App Store and thus bears a similarity to them in that particular aspect.

I’d say it’s curious it happened at all. As others have mentioned Apple doesn’t allow emulators at all in their store, perhaps they are afraid of losing too much of the market after EU forces them to allow side-loading?

EDIT: I just checked the App Store listing for this app - I find it pretty hilarious (and for more than one reason) that it’s listed in the Adventure category which has a pirate flag for an icon.

It kinda does sound like EEE.

„W4 Games will strengthen our role within the Godot ecosystem by supporting its open-source development and continuing to build products and services to facilitate Godot’s expansion, such as W4 Consoles (an approved middleware console porting solution for Godot games) and W4 Cloud (multi-tenant service to support millions of users).”

„We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals.”

I believe that if you want to see hackers as only kids doing „fun stuff” at their desk at night making their (metaphorical and not) parents angry then either you are missing the bigger picture, or capitalism has gotten their ideological claws on the hacker culture and turned it into an obedient bunch of techbros that wouldn’t even dream of making the information free, as it wants to be.

Don’t forget about the often critical, but almost never mentioned directly, argument for returning to the cubicle: office spaces are essentially an investment, which may very well go down in value when the general way of thinking becomes “WFH is better, offices are obsolete”.

Or perhaps we could tune in and learn to communicate with the plants.

I wonder if that sets a precedent in terms of what type of electronic signals could be regarded as a legally binding form of agreement between two parties in EU, especially given the fact that DnT is not a standardized HTTP header.

Not yet, although the Systems Thinking in Software Development is certainly on my list.

It looks like Naur’s paper is as topical as ever (https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2022/theory-building/).

That is very interesting, and I suppose it speaks to the historical amnesia among IT specialists, since I believe the majority of us don’t really see ourselves as belonging to the working class.

A little reminder that GM had produced a popular electric car in 1990s - only to kill it on their own to sustain combustion engine market domination [1].
