German GDP growth revised upwards, defying Iran war turmoil
Why would I, a German care though? German stocks are at an all time high too which must be nice for the rich but last time I checked prices of everything were still up and the job situation is shit. Trickle down isn‘t real. What we need is a general strike to get a piece of that growing cake because I bet most Germans are not feeling an economic upswing. Quite the opposite, actually.

Meloni made migrant 'returns' popular in the EU. Now it's backfiring on her.

Turns out you need diplomacy so other countries take them back. Fascists are terrible at that. That‘s why they conveniently never explain how they make other countries accept their terms and take back all asylum seekers at once. They sit on the issue and beg other EU politicians to take care of it instead.

Twitch and Amazon hit with lawsuit for training AI with streamers' content

The opt-out is new but the platform definitely trained models on stream footage for years before telling anyone or giving them a way to opt-out.

Russia is interfering in initiative campaign in Switzerland
Referendums are especially receptive to interference. People will inevitably look for pros and cons online and bad actors with large resources can then precisely target this referendum with facebook ads and Xitter bot posts. I genuinely think direct democracy is too easy to penetrate these days because people are not super informed about politics in their daily lives and rely too much on the algorithms to make a choice.

The fact that you can’t run through Windows setup w/o internet and an online account is absolute bullshit
Who says you have to install Linux? Just run it directly on a USB drive to be extra flexible!

Physical Video Game Software Dollar Sales Plunged to an All-Time July Low of Just $85 Million in the US — the Worst Total Since Tracking Began in 1995
Well they do talk about video game spending dropping by a whopping 10% compared to last year and hardware spending by an unfathomable 29% compared to the previous year. That‘s unheard of.
The entire game industry (and probably the entire global economy) is in a deep crisis and corporations are squeezing the last few bucks out of us before things will get very ugly.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are in a depression.

GTA 6 leaks prompt Take-Two to subpoena Microsoft for Windows device IDs of everyone in three Discord servers — daily gameplay leaks shatter cloud of secrecy around the much-hyped game

I‘m more upset about the union busting than their anti-consumer practices but that‘s mostly because I have no interest in buying it. Either way it‘s an insane demand for a company to make. How about just let authorities handle it like everyone else would?

Finland tried to end homelessness. What can we learn from its runaway success – and recent failures?

Yup. We can learn that left wing politics are humane and right wing politics can only destroy. So nothing new.

Rockstar reportedly furious by GTA 6 leaks and has no idea how it happened, but won’t change Netflix premiere date
Reply in thread
A rather expensive if not straight up damaging ad campaign if we look at Rockstar‘s lukewarm stock. The crypto angle doesn‘t add up either.

They understand that very well and I think that‘s probably the main reason they want less regulation. I‘ve come to realize a lot of people who blame bureaucracy for all their problems have a lot of criminal energy.

I doubt someone does all that alone. Looks more like a semi-professional group to me.

German state bans pro-Palestine group over ’antisemitism’
But when Nazi parties in Germany spread antisemitism it‘s happy little accidents, eh? Blind on the right eye as usual.

China, India, Russia reject EU's carbon tariff as 'punitive measure'
Reply in thread
Most affected yes but Russia and China have been working together on arctic routes for massive cargo shipments. So the effects will also be very profitable for a few of them. One could say they‘re preparing for the inevitable but really they‘re trying to profit off of the melting arctic sea.

That‘s the insane part. Because German law seems to be arguing nations have a fundamental right to exists by international law when they actually don‘t. There is no such international law. If there was German reunification would‘ve been impossible because no matter how many people approve of it, East Germany‘s right to exist would have to be respected regardless. That‘s of course not how nations work whatsoever. If people decide to dissolve a state it can be done. The nation has no fundamental right to exists. Not by international law.

A question for GNOME/KDE users
Used Windows for most of my life and iOS at work for a while. When I finally made the switch to Linux last year I was very eager to try Gnome because it looked so sleek. Almost like iOS.
But it didn‘t feel like iOS at all. It felt exactly like the Linux stereotype. Like you have to subscribe to an entirely new lifestyle and way of doing things. I‘m not ready for that. Not when other operating systems are so much more intuitive.
I ditched it quickly and have happily used KDE Plasma since. I think it‘s much closer to the UX of „conventional“ operating systems like iOS. I want to use the console for some tasks but most of the time I just want menus, thanks.

Roblox argues 8-year-old waived rights in wrongful death lawsuit
Roblox really seems to be the end boss of evil game companies. The competition is certainly steep but they never cease to amaze me with how low they‘re willing to go for a few bucks more.
