Getting onto a platform is easy Understanding how to actually make it work for you is the harder part. GGG exists to help creators get more out of Kick

Five African grey parrots at an English wildlife park were separated after they kept swearing at visitors and encouraging each other to continue, with their laughter apparently making the whole thing even worse 😂

New FPS where you can draw any weapon in chalk and pull it off the wall to use it - How it handles depends on what you draw - Draw a grip and the animations change - Draw an axe to break down doors - Draw a bigger mag and get slower reload Game is Chalk Warfare

This isn't science fiction anymore. 🧲 The Chinese University of Hong Kong researchers developed a magnetic slime robot that can be remotely controlled to move, squeeze through tight spaces, and even grasp objects. One potential application? Removing objects accidentally swallowed inside the human body without traditional surgery. Soft robotics is opening doors that rigid robots simply can't. Would you trust a robot made of slime inside your body? 🎥 Media: @newscientist , Li Zhang and The Chinese University of Hong Kong ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.

PlayStation fans are massively cancelling their PS Plus subscriptions to protest Sony’s move toward a digital-only future. Many players are sharing screenshots of their cancelled subscriptions online, this is one of the few ways gamers can send a clear message to Sony that they want games on physical discs. Money is the only language these companies understand. Everyone is worried about game ownership and preserving games Keep the backlash.

You don't see police work like this every day. New video released by NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch shows Emergency Service Unit officers making the dangerous climb to remove two people from the top of the Empire State Building spire after an unauthorized stunt. "God bless these officers," Tisch wrote on X. The couple, later identified as Netflix's Skywalkers: A Love Story stars Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, were taken into custody after displaying a banner and getting engaged atop the landmark.

1.3 MILLION PEOPLE ASKED THE EU TO STOP COMPANIES FROM DELETING GAMES THEY PAID FOR. THE ANSWER WAS NO. The "Stop Killing Games" initiative wanted one thing: when publishers pull the plug, don't let them remotely destroy copies people already bought. The European Commission's official response: - It will not require publishers to keep games playable - says forcing them would go too far - Reason given: publishers' copyright and IP rights come first. Your purchase comes second. - The solution: a voluntary code of conduct, developed together with the same industry that kills games - Plus an awareness campaign reminding you of the consumer rights you supposedly already have 1.3 million signatures. Years of work. Multiple hearings. And the part that says everything: according to the campaign, Ubisoft got a seat at a closed-door meeting with the Commission before the decision. The 1.3 million people who signed did not. Publishers can still brick your purchase whenever they feel like it. If buying still isn't owning, then at least now it's official.
'Stop Killing Games' has failed to secure new EU legislation despite having 1.3 million signatures The EU says it “cannot propose a legal obligation” requiring publishers to keep games playable after they stop being sold commercially
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The EU Commission declined to propose legislation via the Citizens' Initiative, but campaign organizers state they are continuing by seeking to amend it into the Digital Fairness Act through the European Parliament. x.com/StopKilingGame… digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/commis…

Packing thousands of straws together basically creates a low-tech pixel screen. Each straw acts as an independent light pathway, perfectly mimicking how data channels work.
