IANAL, but most law that I’ve heard of regarding third party content requires the site hosting the content to conform to takedown notices issued. So, having a good DCMA system requires you to be able to take down content from instances that may not be bad, but governed differently.

As for the law “catching up with” federation sites, I don’t see that happening unless Mastodon and Lemmy start creating massive lobbying arms.

Yeah, if.

Has BlueSky implemented federation yet?

I feel like this is going to become a problem with federation in the future. A Mastodon instance is hosting content outside of its control that may or may not comply with its internal policies or local law. Is that instance protected legally? Likely not.

It would likely be treated the same way as auto forwarding an email would be treated.

For some like Gates, they probably want to keep the list private since they are on it; I feel like this was a big reason for his divorce.

For others, it is likely centered around the idea that Trump will let them do whatever they want as monopolies. It will shoot themselves in the foot as other countries dump US tech, but they will be able to keep their domains within the USA.

But even then, Godot is an engine instead of a game. For various reasons, it appears that the ratio of open source games to closed source games is orders of magnitude lower than other forms of software.

You aren’t going to get corporate nonsense, but volunteer nonsense instead.

Everything is canon.

Even the actor written fanfiction?

Especially the actor written fanfiction.

How could China be Ukraine’s security guarantor? China doesn’t have a military presence in the area and it isn’t known for projecting force.

I feel like part of it was that the console revisions past 2008 aren’t as big of a deal as they were before. You also had publishers start producing games for multiple generations of consoles at the same time.

And on the flip side, I wouldn’t be surprised if software still gets updated as Valve keeps its minimum requirements as low as possible. As long as the drivers work, there isn’t a reason for different editions of the Steam Deck to run different versions.

Maybe they should tax airplane fuel to fund the connectivity.

Because if the answer is insultingly small then I’m not patronizing them

Why would they pay you anything at all?

Outside of France, it feels like the EU isn’t ready to cut itself off from the US when it comes to defense policy. Western European powers seemed to love the peace dividend and Eaten European powers are concerned that a non-US NATO will defend their countries.

Germany may be leading this, but France has been trying to offer an alternative and the rest of the Union seems to be siding with American defense.

You also have the USA still guaranteeing European security while Russia has been more militarily active.

People like to focus on Germany alone, but the EU is still a federal entity that needs buy-in from several nations.

Yeah. The game came with a bulky peripheral which locked in a lot of gameplay. It also didn’t help that arcades were pretty dead at the time of the Great Recession.

I feel like the genre would have had more legs if it started as an arcade game in the 90’s.

It is likely that the EU is dropping bourbon taxes because US barrels are very important to wineries and distilleries in the EU.

Also, many wine regions in the USA are in liberal states, so this could be the EU trying to target their tarrifs.
