  • Really? According to this site they claim that “The Cyber Resilience Act should only apply to free open-source software that is developed or supplied in the course of commercial activity.” While that could be a broad scope, I don’t think it applies to most FOSS. Linux is really the big thing I see it applying to and Linux is very Cyber secure, so I don’t really see issues there.

    Are there other parts of the law that ban FOSS? Or is that site too pro EU and glosses over the bad parts?





  • Honestly I expect, just like in the early days of personal computing, that Gen Z and beyond will suffer from PC illiteracy. The main issue is that phones and tablets are being used almost exclusively during school and on personal time, so they have no idea what Windows nor even Mac looks and feels like. What happens with Zoomer gets an office job for the first time? They have to figure out how to use Windows and Office for the first time. It’s crazy to think that your 70 yr old Grandma and your 17 yr old Nephew could potentially be on the same level of knowledge of how to use Windows, Office, etc…



  • Well, Warcraft 3 Reforge isn’t actually as bad as I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be this awful crap experience, but I really haven’t seen that (okay yes, it has crashed on me once). I picked it up a few days ago and it’s been one helluva nostalgic power run. XD I think they actually did a fairly good job of just upgrading the graphics but still keep the style the same, even though I wasn’t a huge fan of the overly comic styling of War3. I haven’t done custom maps nor campaigns yet, I know people complained about the campaigns not working. I really only played the Founding of Durotar when I was young.

    IDK, it really isn’t as bad as I thought. I heard that a new-ish team is running now, so maybe it will get better. I would like to get a custom game browser built into the game, similar to what Star craft 2 does.

    It’s been fun double timing War3 and D4 the last few days. :)



  • Maybe I’m pessimistic but I have little to no faith that the blackout, especially if only 2 days for some subreddits, will have any impact at all. Most likely what will happen is everyone will just scroll like normal, get bored with no content and do something else. They’ll come back a few days later and everything will be normal. Most people probably really don’t even care, unfortunately. :/

    For reddit itself, I think they’re going with game plan of throwing this shit out there and then going radio silent knowing that nothing is really going to happen. For them, no PR is probably the best move really.
