I'm only a few hours in, but aside from the usual weird NPC behaviour this engine is known for I haven't encountered any actual bugs so far.

Decentralized Matrix messaging network says it now has 115M users
Reply in thread
It's used by a lot by organisations who want an alternative to Slack/Teams. Have a look at the client list for Element, arguably the biggest Matrix client/platform - https://element.io/
And as someone else mentioned there's also a huge influx of IRC folks especially in the last year.

New York police will use drones to monitor backyard parties this weekend, spurring privacy concerns
Reply in thread
A helicopter is very obvious when it's nearby, a drone is far less so. One could be watching you right now and you probably wouldn't know unless you were looking for it.

Modern Aussie dramas kinda suck, but for comedy we've made some absolute gems in the past like Rake, Kath and Kim, and All Aussie Adventures.
Also back in th day we made some solid dramas like Underbelly, and All Saints.

Microsoft is using malware-like pop-ups in Windows 11 to get people to ditch Google
Reply in thread
Using a mainstream distro like Ubuntu, along with Steam makes it fairly seemless - no struggling required.
95% of my Steam library I can install and run without a second thought and the performance isn't noticeably different to Windows. Some non-Steam titles I use Lutris for, but that's only one or two extra steps.

What argument? It's a fact that I can't purchase this phone, nor can most people on the planet.

I don't use it, but I imagine it sends mountains of telemetry and browsing data back to Redmond.

What does that have to do with a phone that's only sold in Europe?

Fairphone 5 - The Ars Technica Review
Sounda great, but like all previous Fairphones there's no reason for the vast majority of the people on Earth to be interested in this because it's only available in Europe.
Even if I do import it here in AU; I don't get a real warranty, I pay huge important taxes (or a markup to a reseller), and I have to go through just as much trouble for any replacement parts I may need.

Given he's just pissed $450m up the wall for nothing, that seems appropriate
