The Commission considers that at this stage it cannot propose a legal obligation to keep video games playable after they stop being provided commercially. This is due, also, to existing intellectual property rights. Under EU copyright law, rights holders enjoy exclusive rights over their creations. In addition to copyright, other intellectual property rights may also be relevant as they may protect different visual and technological aspects of a video game.

Let's call it what it is. It's transphobic dogshit.

The fact it will pass by default if not taken to a vote is stupid, but it's probably what will happen under the current transphobic administration.

Ok, I didn't know that there was this effect. I'll admit I don't know much about health and nutrition.

That said, shouldn't we consider all sugar content when evaluating how healthy an item is?

After all, you can take orange juice and ultra process out all the healthier stuff, leaving only the sugars. Those won't be "added" but they won't be any good for you, providing a marketing loophole of "no added sugars" for companies.

Added sugar vs natural sugar is a distinction without a difference, and the fact that it has been made so far seems silly to me.

I'm sorry, but it's not my job to clean up a billionaire's rotting platform.

X and Facebook profit from petty conflict, spread misinformation for clicks and their leaders are horrible people. Those platforms can die for all I care. The less people are on there the better.

If people want to talk to me, they can and do contact me directly.

I think I'll pass. Left Facebook over 5 years ago and I haven't used it in 10.

Another minor point of contention: Lamborghini's are at best 4-5 times faster than a shitbox car. A single-billionaire earns 20 000 times more than the average person. The scales are all out of wack.

A closer comparison would be the difference between a private jet and a person walking. Even that would only be a 200x difference. A snail and private jet is much closer to that 20 000x difference.

It's so absurd a difference in scale that the comparison is hard for people to imagine.

A world where the difference between the average person and the richest people is only as large as a shitbox and a Lamborghini's speed would be actually be a pretty palatable society to live in.

increase the length of tenancy required before residents qualify for the right-to-buy scheme from three to 10 years in England.

This is probably a good thing, but only when combined with an increase in building of social housing. I am not too hopeful about that given who's leading the Labour Party. The current administration is allergic to public spending.
