France suggests targeting Big Tech’s data use in response to US tariffs in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

While I support this, it goes further than just “BigTech”. For example: the insurance market is getting more and more under the “Guidewire” suit from the company “Guidewire”. Located in the US. They already stated two? years ago that they want all their customers in their vendor cloud.

Just an example, but the change needs to get deeper.

Before everybody starts moving to codeberg: read the TOS. Especially regarding private repositories.

The heavy focus on FOSS can be not ideal for some people.

But despite that: works and is nice and easy to use.

The right for a private good exists. In the same way different countries exist, different views in copyright and the right to backup exists.

Especially the speed is hard. Not even full three month and several countries have issued travel warnings.

Depending on the region: yes.

I fully expect they will continue with other services so they can drive the sales of tokens.

Blue: In Response to the DDoS Attacks (us.forums.blizzard.com)

submitted 2 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

After the recent DDoS Attacks and therefore the death of hardcore characters, Blizzard will revive these characters which have died during these attacks.

This will not mean that they will generally revive hardcore characters, but they will take into credit that server issues are not something players should be punished further with.

Greetings,

Recently, we have experienced unprecedented distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that impacted many Blizzard game services, including Hardcore realms, with the singular goal of disrupting players’ experiences. As we continue our work to further strengthen the resilience of WoW realms and our rapid response time, we’re taking steps to resurrect player-characters that were lost as a result of these attacks. Unlike the many other ways characters can die in Hardcore, DDoS attacks are an intentionally malicious effort made by third-party bad actors, and we believe the severity and results of DDoS attacks specifically warrant a different response.

In the future, Blizzard may elect – at our sole discretion – to revive Hardcore characters that perish in a mass event which we deem inconsistent with the integrity of the game, such as a DDoS attack.

Our broader stance on character restorations or death appeals has not changed. To be clear, we do not intend to revive characters which have died due to server disconnects, lag spikes, gameplay bugs, or any other reasons. Blizzard Customer Support cannot assist with issues related to characters who have died on Hardcore realms.

Thank you, as always, for your feedback.

Clay Stone Associate Production Director, WoW Classic

Blizzard is changing their service to rename guilds.

From April 22 on, a guild name change can not be bought with real money, but costs 200.000 Gold in game.
