Didn't he disappear recently? I don't mean as a person, but the user of steam in the stats.

I live in the EU. The violations of Google and Amazon I mentioned also happened in the EU. Feel free to look up the repercussions on those. Having rules is irrelevant if there is no way to actually enforce them, or at least verify them. It would be doable (maybe not quite "easy") to have that verifiable, but there is no system or law in place for it as it stands right now.

You can trust them companies that would put surveillance equipment like that in their stuff to not abuse it, that's your call. I just won't use it. In quite a few EU countries this wouldn't be allowed anyway, btw. At least not with current laws in regards to video recording in and around traffic. For example dash cams are still not fully legal in Germany, and only very limited recording (and storing) of footage is permitted.

So basically this: https://youtu.be/ycMgIToLav8

Note: I didn't watch it, but it popped up in my feed recently, and was easy enough to find again.

Also Void Linux

Not in my experience. I typically don't buy AAA titles, but more smaller or indie games. If they got performance issues at launch, and there are no crashes or they were fixed, performance is the next issue getting tackled.

Also these days there's really no excuse for buying and keeping games that aren't playable for you. There's zero reason to pre-order anyway, so just watch reviews when they release. Or test the game yourself and just refund in the refund window if it doesn't run properly. Check back after a few months (or years, depending on patience and/or size of backlog).

Probably not that great if I was looking at the picture for quite a while figuring out what it could be, and needed to read the title after all...

Yes totally. I would trust any company to always do this the right way. And there would never be an incident where some footage gets leaked, or passed around the office. "Oops there must have been a malfunction".

Yes like Amazon AND Google haven't been caught saving private conversations that their voice assistants recorded totally unintentionally even though they weren't triggered. They did totally say "sorry" and won't do it again, ever. Right? Right?

Sounds nice until you think about the implications for everyone that doesn't vandalize or destroy these bikes. I'm most certainly not going to rent one if it has 360° surveillance capabilities.

I understand why it was written as it has been. But not requiring fully unanimous votes, allowing for at least a single one against to still let it pass would've probably avoided quite a few deadlocks. But I do mean just one or two votes, not a percentage.

I would love to "get off Patreon", but since I want to support the creators that I do, I can only do that where they are. Exactly one of them is on ko-fi, everyone else is only on Patreon.

... and Amazon games. People who have or had prime accounts often have large amounts of free games on there from claiming them in the past (often via twitch).

It really sounds great, but I've also read that the law contains zero directions/rules on prices for the replacement parts. So you might be able to get a replacement battery for your 200€ phone, but having to pay 200€ for it.

I man I hope not, and maybe not every company will go out of their way to follow the most malicious interpretation of the law they can (competitors might not, it's still a somewhat competitive market).
