Degoogle, and also avoid any company with an international arm incorporated in Russia, or outside of Russia, apparently:
Google is seeking a ruling [in US and English courts] to block [RT] from pursuing its assets in foreign jurisdictions such as South Africa, Turkey and Serbia.
According to the Turkish filings, Russian courts have determined that Google owes Tsargrad 32.8bn roubles (£273m)... [the penalty] doubles every 24 hours... Russian courts had “levied unprecedented fines and arbitrary legal penalties against Google in an attempt to limit access to information on our services and as a punishment for our compliance with international sanctions against Russian individuals and organisations”.

As per title. Most computer games these days are made with such unnecessary padding that I want to murder the devs or myself by the end. See, for example, Hyrule Warriors, the 100% 1000 Hour Nightmare, the Review.
The second game I ever 100%ed was Arceus and I still can’t stand the thought of picking it up again, years later. The first game was Horizon Zero Dawn, which is still fun.

Still Haven’t Found It
It hasn’t turned up anywhere else yet, so I’ve occasionally been checking the grocery store for the last few years.
Moral Crumple Zones: Crushing the Human to Preserve Venture Capital
Moral Crumple Zones discusses how humans are used to absorb liability from automated systems.
With Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths getting traction, it’s time to remind everyone that Tesla’s design choice to disengage self-driving in the instant before impact is intentional to ensure the driver is in control during the moment of impact, even though self-driving disengaged way too late for the human to react.
In my opinion, they’re sacrificing both bystanders and customers to preserve immunity from liability.
