Russia's ruling party backs Putin's bid ahead of March election • FRANCE 24 English

Meanwhile Putin warned of "problems" with neighbouring Finland after it joined NATO earlier this year, saying Moscow will create a new military district in north-west Russia in response, in an interview published Sunday. > >

'Historic': EU chose to be 'geopolitical actor' in granting Ukraine membership talks • FRANCE 24

> > > European Union leaders made a historic decision on Thursday to open membership talks with Ukraine, bypassing objections from Hungary to give Kyiv a major. political boost as its war against Russia's invasion grinds on. Although membership would likely be many years away, the decision at a summit in Brussels takes Ukraine a step closer to its long-term strategic goal of anchoring itself in the West and liberating itself from Moscow's orbit. The move came at a critical time for Ukraine, after its counter-offensive against Russian forces had failed to make major gains and with US President Joe Biden so far unable to get a $60 billion aid package for Kyiv through the U.S. Congress. The EU took the decision in a highly unorthodox fashion: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who cultivates close ties with Moscow, agreed to leave the room while his peers from the EU's 26 other members agreed the move. As the EU grants Ukraine membership talks in midst of war, bypassing Hungarian objections, FRANCE 24's Tom Burges Watson is joined by Anastasiya Shapochkina, Geopolitics Lecturer at Sciences Po and President and founder at Eastern Circles geoeconomics think tank. > >

Scientist, after decades of study, concludes: We don't have free will
  • That is because we want to be free.

  • Israeli bestselling author Etgar Keret: "Hamas is not the Palestinian people, and Netanyahu is not Israel."
  • Must we pretend that the multinationals killed by Hamas last week are already over? Must we also pretend that it is over for those who were killed by the Israeli army before that? It is easy to say it is over on words, but not so with the human heart.

  • What do you think about upvoting/boosting your own post?
  • Depending on the purpose of the posting. If you are posting as a sales activity, it is better to cast your own vote. If you are posting as a social experiment, the quality of the data will be higher if you leave the voting to others.

  • Report: Unity considering revenue-based fee caps, self-reported install numbers
  • This price change would be not for gaming industry gains, but for the capitalist's private appetite. Unity engine would be added unneccesary features for it.

  • Unity Has Apologized For Its Install Fee Policy and Says It 'Will Be Making Changes' to It - IGN
  • I am wondering if they will silently reinstate the changed TOS repositories.

  • Unity Claims PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Will Pay Its New Runtime Fee On Behalf Of Devs
  • I think they would do Hostile Takeover to Unity

  • 10 Years of Space Engineers
  • Yeah I've also spent thousands of hours and still enjoy it.

  • Starfield's planets are an illusion: you can't land on them
  • Space Engineers has a planet, where you can burn fuel and fly for hours from Earth and land to. However, there is no story there. Choose the game that is more interesting to you.

  • Former Twitter company 'X' wants permission to start collecting your biometric data and employment history
  • How do they verify their people's profiles are correct or not?

  • Wildfires burn 6% of Canary Islands, with blazes in Greece, Italy too
  • East Asia might not be on fire but a lot of flood.

  • Researchers Expose Tricks to Jailbreak AI Tools and Gain Knowledge for Illegal Activities
  • I agree. Worse, those who want to make money selling AI are telling tales of a glorious future, exaggerating AI as if it were a prophet of the Untold Truth.

  • AI-Created Art Isn’t Copyrightable, Judge Says in Ruling That Could Give Hollywood Studios Pause
  • If a capitalist had an AI that learned Syd Mead's work output many Syd Mead-like illustrations for publication, he would be sued by fans to protect Syd Mead's copyright. But if the same thing were done by an AI that learned the work of a new artist who admired Syd Mead and honed his skills, who would protect the new artist?

  • Hi-Rez Studios, the people behind Paladins and Smite, have stated that they will be using AI to clone voices and refused to add in any words to contracts that would protect actors from it
  • Is there a provision for paying the actor's family a performance fee each time he or she performs in a synthetic voice after his or her death?

  • Family of Utah man shot dead by FBI after threats to Biden say he was ‘frustrated’
  • How can the desire to make the world justify lead to wanting to shoot people with a gun? I think there is something wrong with some system that connects between that thought and action.
