It really has gotten better over the last couple years but for two decades they pretty much banned everything with the slightest hint of being adult. They are I believe also the reason for why Contra is Probotector in Europe

Yeah, it's always stupid what ends up there and what doesn't. And because of Germany's stupid laws the German version often ends up worse than other versions (often even removing the English language option) (And people are surprised that we hate our northern neighbors...)

Here's a (non-exclusive) list of banned games in Germany (it's in German but the game titles should make it accessible to people that can only speak English): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategorie:Indiziertes_Computerspiel

Oh yeah, Half-Life was indexed in Germany until 2017 (coincidentally when they switched from Elke Monssen-Engberding to someone less grumpy (half of the stupid decisions coming from Germany just stem from some grumpy old person who's entrenched in a Department))

German Authorities (technically not USK but USK is affiliated to them completely banned Wolfenstein, Dying Light, etc. Not 18+ or whatever it's straight up illegal to promote or openly sell them in Germany.

In Austria PEGI is "enforced" in Vienna while USK is "enforced" in Salzburg (and Germany, the reason why they buy all their games here). And PEGI might be shit, but USK is a million times worse.

Do they even have standing to sue? I see that suit getting dismissed the second it reaches a judge

It does but it's more practical than Amberol as it directly accesses your Music folder rather than making you open it every time.

FOSS joining the police to protect it's trademarks.

I just randomly found it on Flathub. I can also suggest Showtime (for Videos), Cartridges (for Games) and Fotema (for Photos). There's also a list on github with tons of cool GTK3 and 4 apps: https://github.com/valpackett/awesome-gtk

I prefer Gapless

Well if you're looking for a moment with consequences on the video.

I can't read this either.

Why? VPNs exist and fuck Modi

Why? It's either going to give Twitter an API option again or it will fail miserably, wasting the Time of Xengineers

Yeah I'll just have the setup in my kitchen.

The Next Steam Controller will release together with Half-Life 3 and Team Fortress 3 (This time with anticheat)

The clicky-ness of the touchpad, paddles, shoulder buttons etc. is one of the things if absolutely love about the OG Steam Controller

That's the reason why every other fucking country still has either 3G or 2G activated. 4G is just a shitshow for making calls.

Yeah, who pays more than $10 for a Taser?! /s

With Intels power requirements that's no surprise

Nah, it obviously wanted to whistlelbow about Boeing.
