This is one of the points that a French MEP brought up during the meeting. If this is pursued it could as a side effect open up space for digital "orphaned works" which would be fantastic.

Some parts of this bill, increasing the places where vaping is not permitted in line with smoking, are very welcome.
But bans of addictive substances only result in criminalising people who are addicted and putting them more at risk of harm, because now in addition to lung cancer they'll have black market goons to deal with as well.
The height of the london eye? Is this a UK citizenship test or a london citizenship test?
It may be waiting to enshittify, but as it is still DRM free, that's not a huge deal breaker (as long as they don't change this policy). Plus, they're still doing Bandcamp fridays, so it's still the best way to financially support a musician at the moment.

Labour were voted in on a mandate of "change" specifically. Literally, their one word slogan used during campaigning. Now, obviously they're the single transferable party, so nothing was actually going to change, but I do want to make sure no-one forgets that was their one promise.
The article is saying the petition is targeting steam, but the actual linked petition is addressing credit card companies. The text of the petition doesn't mention steam or valve. I don't know what the author of the article thinks is happening here, and they've explained it very badly.
My point was that brave's solution, like Signal's, is dependent on microsoft playing fair. If microsoft decides they don't want brave, signal, or anyone else using DRM to interfere with their screen scraping chatbot, there is not going to be an easy way to fix it.
They haven't blocked the windows feature, they're using DRM to interfere with it. Microsoft could easily change how the DRM works any time they want, rendering all these hacks useless.
How many contrasting qualifiers does it take for a comparison to become useless?
