Great idea. How can we submit this to all AI scrapers?

Bunch of different zigbee ones. Zigbee-only means they’re guaranteed to be local and I’ve had no issues with my Deconz-based zigbee network for many years.

The technical terms are actually how all patents are written, so nothing special there. I don’t approve of things like this being patentable at all, but I actually expect this to be novel the way it’s written.

However, no one needs to infringe upon it - it’s trivial to change something ever so slightly so as to not do exactly what’s described here.

Thanks. For everyone not used to reading patents - only the claims are relevant. To infringe, someone else needs to do exactly the same as they describe.

Claim 1:

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a game program, the game program causing a processor of an information processing apparatus to execute: performing control of moving a player character on a field in a virtual space, based on a movement operation input; performing control of causing a sub character to appear on the field, based on a first operation input, and when an enemy character is placed at a location where the sub character is caused to appear, controlling a battle between the sub character and the enemy character by a first mode in which the battle proceeds based on an operation input, and when the enemy character is not placed at the location where the sub character is caused to appear, starting automatic control of automatically moving the sub character that has appeared; and performing control of moving the sub character in a predetermined direction on the field, based on a second operation input, and, when the enemy character is placed at a location of a designation, controlling a battle between the sub character and the enemy character by a second mode in which the battle automatically proceeds.

Yeah that sounds bad :/ All Brother here with no issues. Esp. Linux Mint just autodetects and sets everything up directly.

My elderly parents got the “your computer cannot be upgraded” and my somewhat tech-litterate mom asked me to move them to Linux.

Microsoft should’ve realised at some point that the only thing most people need today is a computer that can run a web browser and connect to a printer.

You approve of a dictator blocking the populace from congregating?

Will Nextcloud run apps not marked as compatible with that version?

FWIW the founder of Kagi is adamant that subscribers must accept part of the subscruption money being sent to Russia (Yandex, fully govt-controlled) and has refused all attempts at excluding it. When questions started appearing he even tried claiming Yandex isn’t even russian.

Using Bluesky as the non-algorithmic example is problematic - they still need to show high user engagement numbers for their VC owners. Mastodon do not have the same problems since on the contrary a Mastodon instance owner has an economic incentive in making sure spambots and troll factory accounts get closed down asap.

All social media is overrun by troll factories with the purpose of sowing discord. I just assume all such accounts are “bots” (although often human-run).

(Yes, some try to sign up also to Mastodon et.al. - but are usually spotted)

It’s a play on “free as in beer …”. We’ve seen all too well that paying with our data isn’t the way to go.

All projects should be.

Move to Codeberg (esp. if you’re European) - but please don’t forget to donate something as well. If we don’t pay for actual freedom, we won’t be able to keep it.

I could definitely see myself setting up a Wireguard VPN only allowing connections to a bunch of porn sites here on my home fiber in Sweden. Should make a nice little side profit.

For some reason DHL managed to get a null-string into their system a few years back, which meant that any DHL shipments to me - no matter what the seller had entered - had “null” as the receiver in the system.

Everything else was fine, address and tracking numbers sent to me etc - but I did have a few interesting discussions at pickup locations that wanted to see identification matching the name in the system …

Apple would lose such a case in an instant. EU consumer protections applies to the consumer for products bought from a seller within the EU. The laws do not care the slightest whether you’re using your devices on vacation or not.

No. That EU-citizen is fully protected by EU consumer laws. Has nothing to do with where that citizen make use of their product.
