It's finally up! Please sign it if you're in the UK :) Petition: Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state.
  • 100% online games in the past were perfectly playable even after developers / publishers ended support. Online only games dying is a relatively recent invention. This petition is asking for consumer protection to return to the norm where a purchaser of an online game always has the choice of being able to play it in some fashion.

    A game developer could do this by releasing a server application. They could even do this at the barest minimum by releasing documentation describing how the server ought to work, to allow for reverse engineering.

    The Stop Killing Games campaign as a whole isn't asking for perpetual server access, just to ensure that games stay in some sort of playable state.

  • Public has no right to swim in sea, claims firm that dumped sewage at bathing spot
  • England really needs to get right to roam legislation like Scotland. It would make it more difficult for companies to make claims like this and make it clear that everyone has a responsibility to keep nature clean as its a shared resource

  • You'd think white car would be a fan of separated bike lanes...
  • It does matter. It's safer for everyone if cyclists travel side by side in one lane because then the car driver has to spend less time in the oncoming lane to complete the overtake. A long string of bikes takes more time to safely pass.

  • Mozilla Senior Director of Content explained why Mozilla has taken an interest in the fediverse and Mastodon
  • At this point the web is about as complex as an operating system in terms of complexity. That needs really strong specific standards in order for it to work, and in turn projects like web browsers are huge and complex.

    If someone wanted to build a web browser that only followed the simpler parts of the specifications, it wouldn't work for many websites* and people would not use that browser.

    *Whether or not sites need to be so complex is another question entirely, but the reality right now is that they are

  • Knife Rain? Wasn't expecting an adventure time reference on star trek, but I'll take it!

    There's a lot of references linking back to nova squadron here, but I've got no idea how it all fits together. Looking forward to the finale.

  • More ascension stuff this episode. I wonder if that's ever going to be explored, or if it will only ever be left as a gag. It seems like the kind of thing that would be difficult to dig into in a satisfying way.

  • Tendi just wanting to play in the sand is cute.

    Boimler being completely fed up with the assignment is great - he knew exactly what he was walking into, but did it anyway (I'm glad it actually had payoff at the end).

    Rutherford has finally resolved badgey, and seemingly learnt nothing.

    I didn't feel like mariner had a whole lot to do in this episode, she just kind of tagged along.

  • The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, everyone 🤦
  • To be honest, I could get behind fines for overrunning street works. Hell, go further: fines for any overrunning, underdelivering or overbudget public contracts. That would quickly resolve the mess that the torys have made giving out dodgy contracts to their mates.

  • It reminds of the kelpien-baul relationship from discovery. If they were from the same planet it would suggest that the betazed-caitian relationship resolved it self at an early stage of development and the kelpien-baul one didn't. Maybe the fact that betazoids are emphatic worked in their favour, and helped them to grow together.

  • Minecraft Wiki moves away from Fandom
  • This might be going back a while, I haven't played or looked anything up in along time, but back in the early days was the minecraft wiki not already its own site. At what point did they move to fandom? It's good they're moving, but why did they ever go there in the first place?

  • Voyager used Bio neural circuitry / gel packs throughout the ship. From the name alone, that sounds like it is designed to mimic the living neural system. Does that mean it could have developed a soul, given enough time, whereas data could not?
