Pajemploi, the French social security service for parents and home-based childcare providers, has suffered a data breach that may have exposed personal information of 1.2 million individuals.

I recently bought Diablo 1 via GoG and wanted to install it on my Dell Latitude for couch sessions. I installed it via Heroic and everything seemed fine, but after the Blizzard splash, the game stays black. Sometimes, when I tab out, some menu texts appear in the tab switcher thumbnail, but thats about it. I fumbled around with the graphics settings in the pre-game settings window (which is really tiny) and tries window mode, different resolutions etc. but nothing changed.

It feels a bit like a "not good enough graphics card" but... well, its Diablo 1...

Is there something I can do, or try, to make D1 playable?

It seems to me like where a period would be too strong and I want the clause after to be considered equally at the same time or possibly as a counterbalanced thing to whatever is to the left of it

If it were to parse it purely linguistically, it seems like not quite a list of things but perhaps a relevant after thought that a comma would be too weak for and a period too strong

Original Naked Gun director David Zucker has gone back on the attack over the recent reboot starring Liam Neeson, after appearing to soften his tone in the wake of its release.

In an interview with Woman’s World, Zucker said that Seth MacFarlane, producer on the new Naked Gun and previously director and co-writer of the Ted movies “totally missed” the spoof-comedy style that Zucker, along with collaborators Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams, made famous in Airplane! and the three original Naked Gun films.

“My brother, Jerry, and our partner, Jim Abrahams, started doing spoof comedies 50 years ago, and we originated our own style – and we did that so well that it looks easy, evidently. People started copying it, like [producer] Seth MacFarlane for the new Naked Gun. He totally missed it.”

He added: “It can look like we’re just throwing stuff up against the wall to see what sticks, but we’re not. There’s thought behind it.”

Donald Trump vowed to "take over" and "own" Gaza. The US government plans to divide the Palestinian territory into a "green zone" run by Western allies, while trapping Gazans in a "red zone", which won't be rebuilt. The USA hopes investors will make hundreds of billions of dollars. Ben Norton reports on the colonial scheme.

Authorities investigating the death of a mother and her two children at a hotel in Istanbul are now focusing on the highly toxic chemical aluminum phosphide as the likely cause of death, shifting attention away from initial suspicions that centered on food poisoning.

Preliminary findings suggest that a chemical used for pest control, containing aluminum phosphide, may have seeped into the family’s room through a bathroom ventilation system from a neighboring room that had been treated earlier.

Aluminum phosphide, commonly used as a pesticide for cockroaches and bedbugs, is highly toxic and has no known antidote.

The family became ill on Nov. 12 after eating mussels and other street foods in Ortaköy. The two children — aged 6 and 3 — died the following day. The mother died on Nov. 14, while the father passed away on Nov. 17 at Taksim Training and Research Hospital, where he had been under treatment.
