I loved Goat Simulator for its absurdity and silliness. It had a lot of content and stuff to explore as well, embedding cultural references and humor.

I love the idea of a silly game like Goat Simulator being embedded in the street.
What do you mean?
It has buttons on both sides.
The letter alleged that “your blatant and widespread unlicensed use of our Client’s trademarks has infringed our Client’s rights and confused consumers into believing, falsely, that WP Engine is authorized, endorsed, or sponsored by, or otherwise affiliated or associated with, our Client.”
If the trademark is indeed on the wordpress.org foundation and not the wordpress.com company, I didn’t think that’s a fair argument.
When I think Wordpress I think the software, not their hosting or company. Such an argument would only work if the exclusive trademark licensing were actually exclusively used, and not in addition to the very vast Wordpress [software] ecosystem.
WPEngine using the Wordpress trademark makes me think they’re using Wordpress. Not that they are affiliated with Wordpress.com (or automattic that runs it).

I don’t think either is a cancer to the FOSS Wordpress ecosystem. Both seem to give back.

I think you make a good point. But the tech doesn’t have to formalize or understand the complexities of human relations or state. The platform and environment are something you can shape even without an established or physical community. The way information is presented and interactions happen does influence how people use and communicate. Not reaching the same degree doesn’t mean it’s a complete failure.
Great assessment and well argued!
The tldr doesn’t match the text. Your elaboration is a lot better than your tldr.
In a case where a second camera operation through a third input unit using an inertial sensor is performed while a pointer operation process based on a pointer operation through a first input unit or a camera operation process based on a first camera operation through a second input unit is performed, an absolute value of a quantity of change in a position or an image capturing direction of a virtual camera based on the second camera operation is reduced as compared with a case where the second camera operation is performed when neither of the pointer operation process based on the pointer operation and the camera operation process based on the first camera operation are performed.

Crazy. Crazy that that works as a business strategy.
Battle and season passes and events can often be classified as ads. (Mainly “live service” games.)
Progression systems and gambling systems are a thing in games but not movies. Often taking away from inherent qualities and intrinsic motivation.

about how Chinese people cope with constant surveillance in their country
Very interesting read.
Finally, wanting to protect privacy was often seen by participants as a desire to hide shameful secrets in order to save face. Here too, surveillance is viewed positively, as a tool to unmask shady behaviours and promote morality.
Damn.
In short, the way the Chinese citizens I spoke to experience digital surveillance is characterized by strong psychic tensions: the same persons who support surveillance as being indispensable in the Chinese context are also and nevertheless expressing the heavy burden that coping with such exposure places on them.

I’ve skipped signing up via email to be able to read articles because that, apparently, that also includes signing up for a newsletter.
A few days ago I saw an interview with an EU official (I don’t remember who) which gave interesting insight.
They pointed out that they’re talking with China about these tariffs, that they’re taking a proof-based approach on them, reasoning and justifying with evidence of unfair subsidies, and that China has accepted such tariffs in the past for other things.
Collecting and discussing evidence obviously takes more time. But it defuses the “I put tariffs on you” -> “then I put tariffs on you” into a “these unjust subsidies were in place so we have to add these tariffs” -> “I don’t like it but I see”.
I wonder how those talks turned out, given that the tariffs have now been set. I guess I will hear from China if they object.
