*full Ubuntu and you can only install via snap.

Buttfly 😳

What's the catch?

One of my mates has been pinged for it before, but it seems like he just got a stern letter.

I put my setup behind a VPN anyway. Proton hasn't done me wrong yet.

"They have to get rid of it unless they decide not to."

I assume it's just gonna be inherited by Mauritius.

I personally think that anime and manga having a 'pipeline' helps them.

• A publisher like Weekly Shonen Jump shotguns a load of new series into their comic and sees if any stick.
• If a series is popular, then their individual volumes sell well, encouraging WSJ to continue publishing.
• After a while, the popular series will most likely be given an anime (which nowadays tend to be very manga accurate), which tend to export better.
• If the anime is popular, volume sales increase worldwide, and you have a massive hit.

While this quite effectively creates new popular series, it leads to a massive manga graveyard.

Western comics don't really have this kind of pipeline and I'm not aware of any WSJ-like publications for new Western projects.

Yeah it's a pretty shite situation all around. Will be interesting to follow the US DOJ ruling on the split-up of Google.

Well, when there's only really 2 friends available, and the other options are just those guys in different hats...

I see you're also obsessed with media scrobbling. I fell down the Trakt rabbit hole a few years ago.

Will we ever see an official HTPC ISO release? I'm currently running Chimera and liking it so far, but wouldn't be against dropping it if something 1st party comes along.

But I don’t see any reason why they “wouldn’t be able” to have a deal anymore.

It's this part of the article that stuck out to me:

the DOJ suggested limiting or prohibiting default agreements and “other revenue-sharing arrangements related to search and search-related products.” That would include Google’s search position agreements with Apple’s iPhone and Samsung devices — deals that cost the company billions of dollars a year in payouts. The agency suggested one way to do this is requiring a “choice screen,” which could allow users to pick from other search engines.

What's the likelihood these cameras even stay up?

Any guesses on how this would affect Android and Firefox?

I'm not 100% on how the Android business works so I'm not sure how important Goggle's involvement is.

Firefox relies on Google's 'default search engine' bribe quite a lot, and they might not be able to offer that anymore(?)

Anyone interested in a successor should check out Restitched.

Sony seem all-in on Astro Bot as a mascot over Sackboy, so LBP might just be buried as an IP outside of crossover references.

Fun fact: It's been as long between the release of RDR to this port as it was between the release of RDR and the launch of the N64.

Saying it's AI even when it's completely irrelevant makes it modern and cool though.

Is there a way to get that Cheetos pattern onto denim shorts?

If Nintendo take this project down then it means they feel some level of ownership over the CD-i games.

They don't want to get their fur wet.
