I sometimes wish that studios would sell their cancelled games to smaller studios that could, if they got it cheap touch it up and release them in some form.

Loads of effort is being wasted for no gain

I would split digital privacy from the foss and Linux discussions. They attract the same people, but are fundamentally different topics.

It also means you could get deeper into the digital privacy topic which is more useful to most people.

For the digital privacy one, ask for a volunteer (or do you!) ahead of time and get them to do GDPR requests for apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta etc. sanitizer anything they want to hide, but do a demo of what big tech actually knows about them.

Then go though how to prevent that and have a discussion on the pros and cons of that data collection. (Eg I don't care about Google data tracking as I find the Google location history really useful)

Is that in a millionaires area or just a normal area?

Better than nothing.

If we have to overbuild green energy to get a reliable supply, use the excess on things like this.

It's also has a directly measurable output (...input?) - I would prefer that money was spent on this rather than carbon offsetting, which is basically a scam.

Picture from a ski holiday in the Dolomites in Italy. The weather made for bad skiing but great photos. They built a restaurant on that view a few years back unfortunately.

I guess the 'simple' way of doing this would be adding tags to communities like 'art' 'hobbies' 'sport' 'football' etc. This might then let the app suggest others based on the tags you are subscribed to.

It would probably still require some AI/analytics to work out the links based on user activity in different communities/tags but I think it would make it easier to group interests and promote smaller communities.

It could also improve Lemmy visibility in Masterdon if the tags are used as hashtags or something. (Would require more work)

I have watched some videos on it, very cool. That said, I pretty sure those photos in the comparison are taken at different times of year?

What do you bet the owning company will suddenly go bankrupt (because all it's assets have strangely been sold for £1 to a new company with the same directors)

Everyone might already know this, but it was news to me! I'm going to miss the first race ☹️

Men accused of pushing cyclists into ditches for fun go on trial in France

Two defendants could face up to five years in prison after spate of incidents in country’s rural south-west

Two men accused of driving up to cyclists in rural south-west France and pushing them into ditches for fun have gone on trial in Toulouse for organised violence and could face up to five years in prison.

The two men, aged 20 and 22, were arrested last year after a spate of cyclists being pushed off their bikes on quiet country roads. One victim told the newspaper La Dépêche: “It was April … I’d gone out on my bike for the afternoon. When I got to a little country road … I felt a car was following me silently. It was driving very slowly behind me when it could easily have overtaken me. Then after a few minutes it drove up beside me. The car’s passenger suddenly pushed me down.”

Another man described being on a weekend cycle ride with two friends when a car pulled up beside him and the passenger allegedly reached out a hand and pushed him into a ditch.

At least 12 cyclists were hit over a period of several months, some sustaining injuries including a wrist fracture and a collar-bone fracture.

It looks like it clipped the ground after an emergency landing. There may also be a separate communication issue?

Possibly expansion relief? They get some pretty wild temperature swings.

The longer jack makes it less likely to break. It also spins freely so doesn't suffer from rotation stress.

If my aux port breaks, that's annoying, if my usb port breaks it's e-waste.

If it was - Forrest fires apparently make the ground hydrophobic in addition to burning away all of the ground cover. This can make flooding in those areas much worse.

This then washes away soil and makes it even harder for trees etc to grow back.
