Fun fact: they already tried. In the same law where they tried to ban E2EE a few months ago. It went about as well as you'd expect.

Funny, the same question is being asked for the Bolloré empire right now. Are we seeing the end of regressionist media empires era, like with Berlusconi?

Have you looked at itch.io's list of games in the genres you like playable in web browsers? Found a few hidden gems in other genres (e.g. idlers) there.

Microsoft is also after those juicy administrative contracts, and right now, with US-skepticism sky-rocketing everywhere in Europe, they are terrified that the EU might mandate that administrations have to use (or, at least, have to use more in the coming years) European-made software.

Loosing those EU contracts wouldn't just be lost money at a time where Microsoft is pumping more and more money into AI with not a single cent of profit on the horizon, it's also leaving the door open for a competitor to gain worldwide legitimacy and challenge their monopoly in business software.

And that is worst case scenario for them. That's why every tech giant has been pourring billions into trying to capture the chinese market. Because where they did not succeed, another brand started taking their place.

How would you feel if, in the coming years, a good chunk of the EU administration were to switch to Nextcloud? If, following that move, ISPs started providing those same services to end user? If more and more people switched from MS Office to other office suites that ACTUALLY follow standards and are interoperable? Would one's reasons for staying with the MS Ecosystem in general crumble?

And if you think that's not possible, remeber where Yahoo was, and where they are now. In the recent Google trial, there were internal memos showing that Google was actually concerned about DuckDuckGo, and had to prepare a strategy to ripost just in case. DDG has 0.3% percent marketshare.

All giants have clay legs, it's just a matter of making them bend the knee :)

Isn't Powerwash Simulator kinda that, just in reverse?

Never heard of this. Is this a Spore-like game?

Macron's also trying to entice foreign researchers into France with grants and the benefits of our social security while simultanously breaking both apart. He's a liberal politician, his face is on our dictionary's entry for 'hypocrit'.

Nintendo 0%

Doubtful. These numbers provided are completely wrong. Back when files were leaked during this very trial, Epic revealed they had 3 to 4 times more players on Playstations than Xboxes everywhere other than the US.

Accorsing to Statista (accesible on a third party site if you want to avoid registring), Xbox only has 23% of the market (as opposee to PS's 45% and Nintendo's 27%).

I don't like Microsoft, and I agree sideloading should be a thing on consoles too, but they definitely do not hold a majority of the console market, let alone a monopoly.

"Oh come of it! It's just a few lines of code, not rocket science!"

Narrator: It was EXACTLY rocket science.

EU Commission and Council are indeed not elected directly, but the Parliement who propose and vote laws is. The way it works is similar to a parlementary republic (where coalitions of parties that includes >50% of MEPs make a governement together).

It's as democratic as democratic gets on that scale.

The incredible CrossCode! Absolute gem of a game I wouldn't have discovered eight eyars back if they didn't have any Linux support.

It's reviewed poorly because it just came out and is missing a lot of features (read DLCs) and bug fixes the previous civs already have. That and there is no British civ yet (unless they've added them recently-ish).

Didn't play much of Humankind, but from what I've heard, it was a great concept, but it lacked a lot of polish and got a little overhyped when it came out as the 'Civilization killer'.
