It could also spell the end of today’s open Internet, as Europeans look to build alternative platforms to those of the giant U.S. tech firms.

I think you mean "closed internet"!

Shadows is great tbh. Can't speak about sales figures but it's the most fun I've had with AC in ages. The jumps being ninja roll jumps is perfect.

Valhalla was far too serious, a schlocky Japanese revenge flick is much more on target.

What are they going to do? blacklist me and stop serving me ads?

Oh no

As a curved blade I think they're all already banned, so this law does nothing to you

Collecting them isn't much of a reason to be carrying them around.

I don't think the police would let you off if you claimed to have just bought it. I'd expect them to demand some kind of proof.

The law is so when they raid a gang members home and find five swords they can do something other than compliment them on their awesome ninja sword collection.

But network rail don't run any trains

It peaked at 4 with the fall from heaven 2 mod

There was a story about two teens in Germany recruited to a private discord through I think Roblox, a bellingcat podcast on use of games as recruitment mentioned it.

The act of helping in the game builds trust fast and speeds up the recruitment.

Luckily these two went to the police after the blackmail/encouragement/ conditioning escalated to performing real world violence.

How many others didn't? Or were pushed slower so they were more caught up?

Awful stuff. And we have the UK shutting down local biking forums and fedi servers to protect children.

The draw from Skyrim and other ES games is wandering around and stumbling on cool stuff.

They both removed wandering by having you fly your ship to a planet, and removed the cool stuff by making the planets procgen.

It's good fun exploring the cities and space stations but then that's it. They designed out the entire game in favour of more procgen content.

I don't see how you can write the law such that it allows training ai on copyrighted data without making it possible to train a special llm on a single github instead of the entire universe, and essentially treat it as a full compression of the source.

Because once you can generate the GPL code from the lossy ai database trained on it the GPL protection is meaningless.

A different reason every day

If open source apps can't be copyrighted then the GPL is worthless and that will harm open source development much more

But Sam is talking about copyright and all your examples are patents

As a good virtue ethicist I walk away from the lever and live my virtuous life

Probably by trying to beat up Persians. Or some other city state. Or slaves. You know, virtuously

Aside from the unacceptable violence, the story here is far more complicated than that.
They were just impossible to work with.

I think PeopleMakeGames did a good YouTube video on it if you've not seen it.

PPP is difficult with defence spending, especially when nations are running a war economy and recruiting prisoners for free

The us spends that much more than anyone, including its enemies.

The us just spends way too much. Matching us defence spending is kind of a lot. Combined the EU current defence spending is second only to the us

Using this money to buy tech from Ukraine would be delicious

The peace agreement between Napoleon and Austria included Napoleon taking independent (but in the coalition) Venice.

It was kind of an awful elitist place but it was also the oldest democracy in the world at the time. Napoleon destroyed that, and all the monestaries. You can see the ruins of them around the lagoon if you visit.
