  1. RE: mastodon.social/@StopKillingGa

    I don't do politics, but as someone that is working to make gamedev more accessible, and as a privacy advocate, the EU Kids act sickens me.

    We are getting closer to 1984: widespread control by governments over how we live our lives, surveillance, and a lack of anonimity that terrifies me.

    If this passes, it will make the EU a surveillance state and make indie game dev impossible.

    Orwell was optimist.

  5. @EUCommission

    If the leaked EU Kids Act proposal is real, I am very disappointed by the EU.
    This proposal is very out-of-touch and will not actually help to protect kids without also turning the EU into a surveillance state where one can't even host a private Minecraft server.

    I please ask you to reconsider what this would mean for EU citizens and how much worse it will make the existing privacy issues.

  11. 🍔 McDonald's AI now prices your Big Mac based on "how much you're willing to pay."

    Nothing says "customer trust" like charging $6.89 for the same burger just because you parked in a different lot. 🤖💸

    Next: Dynamic toppings based on your credit score.

  20. Shocking! Annie Nova reports student loan borrowers are suing the Trump administration over forgiven debts still haunting their credit reports. Even after federal loans were canceled for fraudulent colleges, the Education Department continues reporting these debts as active to credit bureaus, damaging over 300,000 individuals' ability to secure housing, loans, and jobs. This reveals a critical need for accurate government follow-through on debt relief promises. Read the full story to learn more. Annie Nova deserves praise for this important reporting.

    « Quand on passe des décennies à opérer dans un quasi-monopole protégé, il ne faut pas pleurer quand le consommateur fait ses calculs. Ce n’est pas une crise surprise : c’est l'addition d'années de surfacturation et de mépris. Les géants récoltent ce qu'ils ont semé.

    When you spend decades operating inside a protected oligopoly, don't cry when people finally do the math. This isn't a sudden market crisis—it’s the bill for years of overcharging. Telecom giants are harvesting what they planted. »
