Japan’s Minister of Defense Shinjirō Koizumi posed with a cardboard drone on Monday during a meeting with drone manufacturer AirKamuy. The AirKamuy 150 is a cheap pre-fab cardboard drone meant to die on the battlefield and it comes shipped in a flatpack like an IKEA shelf.

French activists staged a funeral for Windows 10 to protest Microsoft’s push toward Windows 11 and planned obsolescence.

They're very sweet and wonderful people and I think they deserve all of the success, so I'm shilling ;).

I'm curious what game you guys have sunk the most hours into. Mine has to be RuneScape, I don't know the total hours because I've had so many accounts over the years I don't even remember half my passwords, but it's definitely in the thousands of hours now. I've played on/off RS2, OSRS, and RS3 since 2004.

I've also probably sunk anywhere from hundreds to 1000+ hours into Skyrim and Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, though I don't know the counts there either since neither were through Steam. Embarrassingly enough I've never completed either of those two games - I get sidetracked making so many alt characters.

What about you guys? & What got you hooked on said game?

Hi everyone, I recently installed Adobe programs and when I open them I get this window where it says to accept Adobe's terms and conditions and even if I press "Accept" the app closes (I think it crashes)... does anyone know how to help me? I'm on Mac

Very detailed blog I wrote about my strange homelab setup.

La créatrice et passionnée de médias multiplateformes, journaliste, fondatrice et rédactrice en chef de Culturemania, analyste des enjeux technologiques et culturels, chroniqueuse à l'émission Moteur de recherche sur ICI Radio-Canada Première, lauréate de 2 prix d'Hebdos Québec, et co-développeuse du jeu en ligne « Expert Antifake » pour former contre la cyberfraude et la désinformation, livre un rapport de terrain sur l'effondrement du modèle d'affaires de l'information et ce qui pourrait le remplacer.

Plateformes polarisées, retour de flamme de la loi C-18 sur Meta, censure algorithmique de nouvelles légitimes et hypertrucages générés par IA ont ensemble vidé la confiance et les revenus des petits et moyens médias, pendant que le discours québécois sur la souveraineté numérique produit des lois sans soutien concret aux solutions locales qu'elles exigeraient. La voie à suivre : des médias hybrides, multiplateformes, interactifs, transparents sur leurs sources de financement, et ouverts à partager l'espace avec des créateurs que la presse traditionnelle a écartés comme « pas de vrais journalistes ».

The multiplatform media creator and journalist, founder and editor-in-chief of Culturemania, technology and culture analyst, columnist on ICI Radio-Canada Première's Moteur de recherche, winner of 2 Hebdos Québec awards, and co-developer of the online game "Expert Antifake" to combat cyberfraud and disinformation, delivers a field report on the collapse of the news business model and what might replace it.

Polarized platforms, Bill C-18's backfire on Meta, algorithmic censorship of legitimate news, and AI-generated deepfakes have together gutted trust and revenue for small and mid-sized outlets, while Quebec's digital-sovereignty rhetoric produces laws without any real support for the local alternatives they would require. The path forward is hybrid, multiplatform, interactive media, honest about its funding sources, and willing to share space with creators the traditional press has dismissed as "not real journalists."

A new law will ban retailers from using shoppers' personal data to hike grocery prices—but consumer advocates warn it contains loopholes that companies could exploit.

Played the demo a while back and it was just such a charming, slow paced, lovely vibes experience 😁

Today’s game is KLETKA. I will admit that this was entirely an impulse buy. I saw it on sale for 5$, and scooped up 4 copies for me and my friends. I was a little hesitant that it’d just be something like Lethal Company all over again, but surprisingly it feels a little different.

Namely I feel like fighting back is not only viable, but encouraged. The game straight up throws a Gun at you and says “hey. Kill some shit to feed the elevator”. It’s kind of refreshing to have self defense as an option when games of this genre usually rely on feeling defenseless to instill terror.

This game throws a lot of weapons at you too. If your friend dies you can legit scoop up their leg and use it as a weapon to club things to death with. I always hold onto my friend’s legs to use for defense. On top of that, need to feed the elevator? Throw their little meat chunks in there and all is good for a bit

The levels are interesting too. They have some unique quirks to them like one was anti gravity, or another had the player crouch to get around. And that introduces another element: each player has a different size. So you’re not always going to be of use. That’s kind of how I feel like this game makes the player feel helpless. You have to trust your friends (or teammates if you play with randoms) to get the job done. In a way I think that’s interesting.

Me and my friends got 30 floors down before stopping. We have no idea how far this goes but I really want to see how far we can push it. It’s an interesting idea and the lore hooked me with its orbiting of the elevator we ride in. Tomorrow I’d like to do some more and gather a more well researched opinion on it. As 30 floors in this game are only like 5 levels

Imagine doing research with that thing
