Nah, they'll just sue you if you're using VGA instead of HDMI since it obviously means you are trying to crack DRM and thus running afoul of DMCA.

I get that a lot of people are saying "oh this has been taking forever", but from what I'm seeing these guys are producing an AAA-sized title with an engine they don't own, with an IP they don't own, all on volunteer time.

This is amazing.

I'd love if the UK could again be part of the EU. Brexit was the most damaging blow Russia did to Europe in the past 3 decades at least.

It didn't start with the embassy, it got worse with the embassy. Iran is not in the right here, but Israel is not interested in de-escalation either. Both are warmongers, and it's the people who lose.

They didn't violate the social contact, they disrupted it.

“People will really see how vast and complete that game is”

The fact that the CEO has to argue that the game is "complete" says so much about the whole debacle.

So Andrew Tate is a human trafficker scum of the earth, and we are trying to combat his message. That's alright, I agree, he's not a disease but a symptom.

Tate is taking an existing problem, which is the fact that young boys feel left out by society at large with feminism being mainstream. Don't get me wrong, go and empower women, but when boys have "a growing sense that somehow they must be mistreated and hated because they are boys and men" and "some can feel they are being stereotyped, or blamed for others’ actions", and things like “My son is reluctant to go to school due to bullying by a group of girls, he feels that there is a big power difference in schools, where boys are always punished, not listened to, and not believed.” happen, then that's a problem separate from the problems that feminism wants to solve.

Telling boys to help solve women's issues in response to them telling you they have problems of their own is what's causing this. And it's either you listening to them, or it's going to be people like Tate or Trump.

So is the repression of labour.

User Agents should be optional. The whole idea of the Internet was that the server should respond the same way to the same request regardless of the client's qualities.

Yep, programming. It used to be mathematics and logic, nowadays we just include the whole of NPM and pray to the Omnissiah.

For all the people not reading the actual law, this is the actual language of the proposal:

In order not to hamper innovation or research, free and open-source software developed or supplied outside the course of a commercial activity should not be covered by this Regulation. This is in particular the case for software, including its source code and modified versions, that is openly shared and freely accessible, usable, modifiable and redistributable. In the context of software, a commercial activity might be characterized not only by charging a price for a product, but also by charging a price for technical support services, by providing a software platform through which the manufacturer monetises other services, or by the use of personal data for reasons other than exclusively for improving the security, compatibility or interoperability of the software.

IMO the problem OP mentions does not really exist. You can work for a corp while working on the product, your FOSS project can take donations even from corps, the only thing you can't do is monetize your FOSS product without caring for security.
