Ooh, I didn't think of that, will try later! Thanks!

 

Might be a long shot, but I've just started playing The Talos Principle 2 and remembered that I never got around to trying the free "Sigils of Elohim" game that was launched together with the first one. It seems like a neat game to play on my phone, but the only Play Store link I could find (here) seems to be taken down? Anyone know if it's available anywhere else and/or why it's not available anymore? I know there are lots of "Download APK free" sites around, but most of them seem really sketchy to me...

Regarding Zelda, I would expected them to release an upgraded version of totk, since they often seem to release at least one Zelda game for two generations; TP was on GameCube and Wii, BotW was on Wii-U and Switch. Alternatively, a (super-expensive) 2-pack game with BotW+TotK including DLC?

That's true, I was just so baffled by how inconvenient and inefficient this suggestion was. I'm reminded of one of these photos, which I think have been used for many internet proposals/legislations in the past:

Probably, but in theory you would be able to take out in a fork. Inconvenient, but doable hopefully.

While I could see maybe the larger companies operating in France agreeing to implement this, I don't think they would be able to legally force a smaller foreign open source browser developer into the same practice? Take qutebrowser for instance, the developer is from Switzerland. Unless their website is hosted in France, I don't see how French law applies to him, nor the site he is hosting the browser on? They would have to use ISPs to block the website, but even then, you could still get it through GitHub. Maybe GitHub could be forced into removing the browser as Microsoft probably have a French office, but it still seems like a legal and practical nightmare to actually enforce this through the browser. As someone else mentioned, pushing rules on ISPs seems like a more doable thing if you WANT to oppress people (which I am also against of course).

Oh, I hadn't realized chat apps were covered by it, but that sounds promising! Thanks for the link 🙂

This one I hadn't heard about until now, do you have a link to some more information?

Then I would definitely dig out my old eye-patch and captains hat again 🏴‍☠️

An alternative to self-hosting and piracy, if there's something you really want to watch, just buy a month, then immediately cancel the subscription to whatever service has that show, after all the episodes has aired. I usually spend between $30-$50 in total on streaming services in a year this way, and as a principle, I call it "buying a month" as opposed to "subscribing." Right now I'm waiting for Secret Wars to finish on Disney+. Will probably watch the last few MCU movies and some other stuff during the same month so that's probably up to 10 shows/movies for $whatever-a-month-goes-for these days. Might do a month of Netflix later in the autumn, as I have a few things I want to watch there now that didn't quite justify buying on their own. And no, I very rarely rewatch anything, so I don't really worry about loosing access to them in the future.

About the extra battery, I've considered getting one myself, but it sounds a bit like a hassle having to turn off the phone while swapping them out? Or can you connect it to a power source while swapping to keep it on?
