Even if I would agree with your principles, this kind of comment is what is tiring for moderators to deal with at scale.

Technically, uh no. Many of the games I haven’t loaded onto my PC would no longer be accessible, correct. But I have a copy of Goldberg emulator, in case Valve doesn’t hold up their end of the bargain.

Restructure is essentially synonymous to being fired/laid-off in Japanese. Shaun points out its used with relatively mixed meanings elsewhere.

Just speaking from my own knowledge of Japanese work culture, each employee and employer are a lot more mutually valued with each other than a relationship with shareholders. The need to frequently turnover staff reflects worse on both. Japanese shareholder relationships with companies, in turn, traditionally (post-bubble era) are less focused on solely “fiduciary duty”. They were more on stability, sharing success with good product releases, customer relations and feeling that you are part of the company itself as a shareholder. Many offer(ed) annual gifts and product samples to their domestic shareholders.

So the idea to pursue short-term growth at the expense of long-term success or popularity, is not as well-received by Japanese executives, employees and the public as it may in North America.

Sure. That is assuming that someone is available on the LibreOffice side to support the ministry for a particular amount, and that the policy related to government procedures can be followed under this agreement.

They could spend 1~2% of the cost of their microsoft licenses to create their own plugins/development to make the UI more usable for their applications and workers, rather than relying on Microsoft themselves or creating plugins on outdated and proprietary frameworks.

The US government flaunting its effective tyrannical control of its tech companies are, somewhat ironically, helping the EU get away from that control by being encouraged to swap to Linux and FOSS.

A survey with the takeaways really gussying up AI and how people that don’t use AI haven’t had their aha moment yet.

Xbox CEO Spencer ends his series at Xbox by boxing up his Xbox Series X in an Xbox Series X box with the rest of his series of Xbox boxes when he leaves the Xbox office.

Clearly it’s just safety minded individuals acquiring it. This app helps keep communities safe from unmarked armored vehicles filled with masked criminal cop impersonators.

To address your first point. Yes it applies to other software, this initiative applies to games because the “buyer purchases a license to allow the seller to remove your purchase at some indefinite time later” practices have been most prevalent in gaming.

Extending the scope too far will bring in more opponents than allies and muddy the discussion. Getting a decisive answer here will inform laws on how other industries should be regulated in separate but parallel legislative processes.

Parliament will have 7 days after it closes before their planned summer recess. You think they will work that quickly to churn out a boilerplate debate?

Vote me in once, shame on, shame on you. You vote me… you can’t vote again.

If the EU petition makes it, then it will provide the UK petition support too as part of whatever debate goes on about it.

So, Tesla Robitaxis drive like a slightly drunk and confused tourist with asshole driving etiquette.

Those right turns on red were like, “oh you get to go? That’s permission for me to go too!”

Give it (that hairstyle) to me, baby.

If you see stuff like that you’re either at a military commissary, or No Frills.

Oooh cool! I’ll be watching for the release of this software with great interest!
