🚨 Chat Control hoje no Parlamento Europeu 🇪🇺 Mau dia para a Von der Leyer hoje no parlamento. Depois de ter sido aprovado a abertura de negociações para o novo Regulamento de Retorno (reforma da política de deportação de imigrantes ilegais), o Parlamento Europeu rejeitou novamente a extensão ilimitada da vigilância em massa! ✅ Isto significa que, por agora, não vão poder continuar a scannear automaticamente as conversas de toda a gente de forma indiscriminada. Ainda não é uma vitória definitiva (as negociações continuam), mas é um importante passo contra a invasão da nossa privacidade.

Arch Linux Says Opposing Age Verification is Code of Conduct Violation "They don't like someone they consider as part of the [Arch Linux] core dev teams being called out like that. What you did broke the Arch Linux CoC."

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

If somebody speaks to me in Portuguese I just talk back in Spanish like I know you can understand me

Here’s a spicy take: If someone made a game almost exactly like Breath of the Wild but it wasn’t labeled as a Zelda game, it would have gotten 7-8/10s across the board due to a lack of story, weak dungeons, and weapon degradation. I wouldn’t have given it that, and I actually LOVE both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, but people let Zelda “get away” with a lot more than other games and it gets to be a bit much to hear at times. If something is not very good in one game, slapping it into the Zelda world doesn’t magically make the thing good. This goes for any Nintendo property btw.

Bob Iger on George Lucas' disappointment after seeing The Force Awakens: "He didn’t hide his disappointment. ‘There’s nothing new,’ he said. In each of the films in the original trilogy, it was important to him to present new worlds, new stories, new characters, and new technologies. In this one, he said, ‘There weren’t enough visual or technical leaps forward.’ He wasn’t wrong, but he also wasn’t appreciating the pressure we were under to give ardent fans a film that felt quintessentially Star Wars. We’d intentionally created a world that was visually and tonally connected to the earlier films, to not stray too far from what people loved and expected, and George was criticizing us for the very thing we were trying to do." Was George right in his criticism?
