I kinda like the Kavrayskiy VII projection. It's similar to the Winkel triple but it looks more natural to me, like a 2D Google Earth.

Despite Snapchat setting the fake minor's profile to private and the account not adding any followers, "Heather" was soon recommended widely to "dangerous accounts, including ones named 'child.rape' and 'pedo_lover10,' in addition to others that are even more explicit," the New Mexico DOJ said in a press release.

wtf

I remember the good old days of Windows MS-DOS where they had an 8 character filename limit lol

Has Denmark ever arrested anyone before for copyright infringement? In most other places this is a civil, not a criminal thing.

It's true what they say. Women are from Omicron Persei VII. Men are from Omicron Persei IX.

Nothing shows a healthy system more than blatant, rampant regulatory capture.

It's a shame because they used to be pretty good a few decades ago.

If you told someone 30 years ago to look at their phone to get the time they'd look at you weird.

Nice! I may have to try it out. I don't have the Steam version of the game, just the native ZOS client so I don't know if that'll be an issue either.

I wouldn't expect anything less from a self-proclaimed Law-and-Order candidate.

Yes but how long until their publisher corporate execs crunch the numbers for the cost of operating the servers and decide it isn't worth it to keep it going?

It sounds like a large crawl should be initiated at archive.ph and archive.org (Wayback Machine) to keep this info available to the public.

That seems awesome. But I wonder how it will do with Add-ons that you can install on the PC version. I can't play without them since the QOL additions just make everything so much better.

 
 

I guess my account will be unsecure then.

ChatGPT-style AI can tackle the drudge work of responding to RFPs faster than humans. Sales teams at Google, Twilio, and others say productivity is spiking.

 

Developers of indie puzzle game Orgynizer have claimed that Unity said organisations like Planned Parenthood are "not valid charities" and are instead "political groups."

In a blog post, the EU-based developer LizardFactory said the plans to charge developers up to $0.20 per install if they reach certain thresholds would cost them "around 30% of the funds we have gathered and already sent to charity."

As Unity clarified the runtime fee will not apply to charity games, LizardFactory reached out to the company to clarify their game would be exempt from the plan.

However, Unity reportedly said their partners were not "valid charities" and were viewed as "political groups."

Profits made from the game go directly to non-profit organisation Planned Parenthood and C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, Michigan.

"We did this to raise money for a good cause, not to line the coffers of greedy scumbags," the developers wrote in a blog post. "We have been solid Unity fanboys for over ten years, but the trust is scattered all over the floor."

The developers are considering a move to open-source game engine Godot, "but we will have to recode our entire game because we refuse to give you a dime," they wrote. "This is a mafia-style shakedown, nothing more, nothing less."

Today, Unity responded to the ongoing backlash and apologised, acknowledging the "confusion and angst" surrounding the runtime fee policy.

The company has promised that changes to the policy will be shared in "a couple of days."
