This is one of the points that a French MEP brought up during the meeting. If this is pursued it could as a side effect open up space for digital "orphaned works" which would be fantastic.

Some parts of this bill, increasing the places where vaping is not permitted in line with smoking, are very welcome.

But bans of addictive substances only result in criminalising people who are addicted and putting them more at risk of harm, because now in addition to lung cancer they'll have black market goons to deal with as well.

While this is true, cars of any kind shouldn't be going faster than 50k in a town/city anyway

The height of the london eye? Is this a UK citizenship test or a london citizenship test?

It may be waiting to enshittify, but as it is still DRM free, that's not a huge deal breaker (as long as they don't change this policy). Plus, they're still doing Bandcamp fridays, so it's still the best way to financially support a musician at the moment.

are you complaining that smaller devs get a bigger cut than larger devs? That's certainly an interesting gripe...

Smaller devs have to pay 30% of their revenues to steam. If a game sells well enough, their revenue share increases and steam takes a smaller cut, 25 or even 20%. This greatly benefits publishers of big games and unfairly punishes smaller developers. I think that's a perfectly fair gripe.

Forgot about steam's forced DRM on purchases. Forgot about their inconsistent policing of content in games they sell. Forgot about steam not wanting accounts to be inherited when you pass away. Forgot about their 30% cut for small devs while bigger devs get a smaller cut. Forgot about a lot of things.

The drivers run OK, but because they were not built for my distribution with the right flag, when I sleep and resume my system, I need to log out and back in to the desktop or else it bugs out.

Is this the drivers fault for not having that be a default flag? The maintainers fault for not using the correct flags? Waylands fault for not interfacing with the driver right on resume? My fault for having the audacity to want to use the sleep function?

I have no clue, but it doesn't happen with the open source nouevau drivers, so I'm inclined to place a fair bit of the blame with nvidia.
