Some countries, like Finland, already started collecting their population's DNA sequences of willing individuals for research purposes.

Unfortunately, as long as all these storefronts sell mere subscriptions, players would suffer if any of them closes. Hence, players would benefit greatly from a monopoly that is too big too fail, since it prevents them losing games every few years when another steam/epic competitor closes doors.

I wonder if even without this law, one could claim false advertising against any subscription service that looks like a bit to own service.

Then they would need to pay everything back they ever earned if the company ever goes bankrupt. I imagine a bankrupt company doesn't have much to pay back.

I thought Twitter was once forced but a court to enable blocking for all users against all users. Isn't this why we are able to block advertisers?

What a convenient way for police to ship you a backdoored version.

 

I recently got interested in the physics behind power plants, and the electrical network as well as heat networks.

There are games about parts of these, like for example nuclear power plants. They simulate them reasonably accurately, and build a game around them.

In Nucleares (on steam) for example, the player has to learn how to balance the various components, to produce as much power as possible without blowing up the reactor. Then they have to replace parts before they accumulate too much wear and break. And finally, the player has to react to various events, such as regulatory restrictions.

I feel like there is a lot of potential in this. Nucleares is a lot of fun, even though its simulation is not super detailed yet, and it is a bit hard to access for a beginner.

Would you be interested in a game that lets you design, build and run your own power plants and power distribution networks? The game would be a bit educational, because it uses and explains real-world concepts. However, ideally it would be accessible for anyone who did some physics classes in high school.

Would you play this kind of a game?

 

This must be the strangest community I have encountered here so far.

 

I was happily using this for a year or so now. Feels fairer than using an ad blocker. But now they apparently want more money out of people. Feels like some sort of internet video apocalypse is happening, where the services become extremely fragmented and expensive, like YouTube, netflix, hbo, Hulu, Disney+ and whatnot. Each wants some 10-20€ out of your pocket.

I guess that means back to ad blockers and piracy...

Is there some community where people share funny or strange AI generated essays and texts?

 

Are the subscriber numbers and vote counts that I see from my insurance the real numbers, or are they only the subscriptions from users of my instance, and votes cast by users of my instance?
