What about if a person working for the public sector contacts a journalist about corruption? Or if a nurse contacts a journalist on how bad a hospital (owned by public sector) is controlled? Are those things that are worth hiding? And how should a normal person hide it if everything is monitored?

And what about the future? Even if it is currently legal to be positive to radical ideas such as trans-people, immigration or environment, how will they ensure that a future government doesn’t make one of those things illegal and then comes after people who endorsed the radical idea?

Indie game

An indie video game or indie game is a video game created by individuals or smaller development teams, and typically without the financial and technical support of a large game publisher,

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

After inking a partnership with Kepler Interactive, which was officially announced in early 2023, and securing funding from said publisher, Sandfall grew into a studio of about thirty developers, three of whom—including Broche and Guillermin—were former Ubisoft employees.[38][39][40][29][27][30][excessive citations] The funding also allowed Sandfall to expand the manpower contributing to the project beyond this core team, having outsourced gameplay combat animation to a team of eight South Korean freelance animators and quality assurance (QA) to a few dozen QA testers from the firm QLOC, as well as receiving assistance from a half-dozen developers from Ebb Software to port the game to consoles. The studio also hired a couple of performance capture artists; brought in musicians for the soundtrack recording sessions; contracted with translators from Riotloc for language localization; and partnered with Side UK and Studio Anatole as to voice casting and production in English and French respectively.[39][41] Finally, the partnership with Kepler Interactive enabled Sandfall to pay for noted professional voice actors, including Charlie Cox, Andy Serkis and Ben Starr.[35][37]

With a team of 30 developers and dozens of consultants for things like QA, it doesn’t sound like a small development team. And they clearly had support from a game publisher.

I looked over photos now and I did went to the Cassidy arch, but I took the Cassidy arch trail. In my defense I took the hike in July so I think it was acceptable to take the shorter hike. I also took the Hickman bridge trail and stopped at the gooseneck overlook and the sunset point and during the evening/early night I went to the visitor center in Fruita to watch the stars. Quite a lot of things in two half days.

My photos are not as good as yours, but I’m still uploading some here.

Golden throne

Nice pictures! I have been at the Capitol Reef but I hiked the golden throne trail instead.

Thanks! It would be nice to know that the screen and other parts can be replaced with a spare part if needed, but I usually don’t have a problem with broken phones so it should be acceptable for me anyway.

I pre-ordered one yesterday and right now it is 1941 pre-orders so it is very likely to be manufactured.

I understand it is too early to know how the repairability will be of this phone, but how has the repairability been on their previous phones? I’m aware of Fairphone and what I want is basically a Fairphone with Sailfish OS without the limitation of the community ports.

Normally the GPU prices decreases so 50$ cheaper in 1 year is completely normal. However, in the coming years I fear that the GPU prices will increase again when the GDDR production decreases to make room for the HBM production for AI.

I was thinking about upgrading to 9600x or 9800x3D, so the 5600x is old and slow compared with those CPUs.

I regret so much that I didn’t, I was planning to build a new PC now or in the beginning of next year. But with the current RAM prices I will stick to my 5 years old AMD 5600x. I will have to start playing games in my backlog if the framerate in new games becomes too low.

That’s because they have to. If I remember correctly it is supposed to be as easy to reject as to accept, but until it has been judged in a court it is “unknown” what the sites can or should do.

It happens sometimes. Usually it is when there are rumors that will have a significant impact on the stock. In that case the stock can be halted until the company gives a statement about it. I’m not sure if it is the company can halt it, I think they can request it and provide information why it should be halted and then it is up to the stock exchange to determine. And the stock exchange has its own rules for when to halt the trade.

I expect Ubisoft to update during the next week or perhaps already during the weekend and then the trading can continue.

They can’t, but that is not the purpose. If the chat control passes then all big services will be forced to leave EU or build in a backdoor. That will give them control over more than 90 % of the population and satisfies their goal. You and your friends are a rounding error. And if you would perform a crime, or are suspected of one, they can use the fact that you encrypt your messages against you.

Very good point. Another issue, at least in my country, is planted forest. Of course it is better to plant forest than turning it into farmland but basically all forests in Sweden are planted and the planted forest is cut down with 70-80 years interval. The planted forest is less diverse than an untouched forest would be and it is hurting the wildlife during the first years after being cut down.
