Ooh, the blind character is apparently called "Lilja Meri", it is a very Finnish name. Might play this for that fact alone.

cute

What is interesting to me is how your occupation would be identified.
Face value? What if you are a Japanese citizen, but look like a foreign person due to genes. Edit: or if you look Asian but are not a local.
Speaking fluent Japanese? What if you are a tourist who has learned the language.
Would you need to show your ID at every establishment to prove you are not a tourist?

Functional multiplayer next?

If both people have Syncthing installed, you can do that by sharing a folder between you.

But it is not like cloud services where you can generate a shareable link - Syncthing is mostly designed for syncing files between your own devices real-time.

Legally speaking that may be be correct, since Meta has their own advertising platform. They do not "sell your data", but what they do sell is indirect access to your data, via targeted advertising.

16% is pretty good. the ones at three to one percent are the weirdos.

It's called "metadata", so clearly it belongs to Meta.

Not related to Steam Deck, but this caught my eye:

As soon as we thwarted their effort, they went around to 27 different developers and offered each one a payoff to undermine any effort we had to get their games onto our store exclusively. Activision and Riot and Supercell had direct distribution plans that they were planning on; Google paid them not to pursue those plans. Just direct blatant violations of anti-competition law, it’s crazy a company of Google’s scale would do that.

So Tim is stating that Google making exclusivity deals with applications developers is breaching laws and should be stopped, but Epic having exclusivity deals on their own stores is okay and not anti-competitive. Hypocrite much, eh?

There is an NPO called The Mozilla Foundation that develops Firefox

Just to be precise, Firefox development is lead by Mozilla Corporation, which in theory is a for-profit company; however it is fully owned by the Mozilla Foundation, and all profit is reinvested to the Mozilla project.

For email, I recommend purchasing your own domain name and finding a provider that allows the use own your own domain (like Proton or Tutanota). A catch-all function is also good for making unique addresses per service, so you're mostly protected from data leaks and spam. Like [email protected] or [email protected]

Will make switching email providers much easier when you don't have to update your address to tens or hundreds of services you've registered on.

Tästä se oikeistohallituksen sekoilu alkaa.

Jatkossa laillisia työtaisteluita ovat ne, jotka ovat kohtuullisia suhteissa tavoitteisiin ja joiden vaikutukset kohdistuvat vain työriidan osapuoliin.

Eikö tämä käytännössä tee lakkoilusta mahdotonta tietyille ammateille? Esimerkiksi julkisen liikenteen kuljettajien lakkoilu vaikuttaa väistämättä matkustajiin. Paskalta varmasti tuntuu.

Paikallinen sopiminen laajennetaan ohi työehtosopimusten ja luottamusmiesjärjestelmän.

Tämä "paikallinen sopiminen" on puhtaasti vain työntekijän oikeuksien polkemista. Mikään työehtosopimus ei kiellä paikallista sopimista - kunhan TES:n minimiehdot täyttyvät. Ainoa syy tehdä tätä on tarjota paskempia työsopimuksia mm. maahanmuuttajille, joita on helppo höynäyttää.

Ensimmäiseltä sairauspoissaolopäivältä ei tarvitse maksaa palkkaa.

Kivaa ottaa palkaton sairaslomapäivä esim. pahan migreenin tai ruokamyrkyryksen takia.

Työntekijän irtisanomiseen riittää ”asiallinen syy”.

Tällä voi jopa olla positiivisia vaikutuksia - jos työntekijän palkkaaminen on yrityksille pienempi riski, pitäisi työn saaminenkin helpottua.
