UK has passed the 100.000 signatures, but we have to keep going. There will be invalid signatures among those. We need a little cushion.

Petition: Prohibit publishers irrevocably disabling video games they have already sold
The government should update consumer law to prohibit publishers from disabling video games (and related game assets / features) they have already sold without recourse for customers to retain or repair them. We seek this as a statutory consumer right.

Sorry for the initial confusion.
To clarify, the GST/HST holiday promotion was instituted by the Canadian government and is applicable to orders within Canada.
International orders will still be charged taxes when applicable.

If anybody ever tells you, that "all-digital" is inevitable, show'em this. Booklet that came with the physical release of Pentiment contains a statement from its Director @jesawyer.bsky.social: "We're honored that your ongoing support has made the desire for this physical edition clear".

This is hilarious. An alliance which Google is a part of, are accusing Microsoft of gatekeeping browser choice. Don't forget that Google is now an illegal monopoly dominating the desktop and mobile browser market share. Make this make sense to me.

The perfect word to describe the current state of.. everything really.
Australia’s oldest dictionary of Australian English has chosen “enshittification” – a slang term referring to the deterioration of products and services online – as the word of 2024.
Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary names ‘enshittification’ word of the year
Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary says term captures widespread sense that things are getting worse.

First week on Bluesky. Less "loud", better moderation, and the Discover feed feels personalized as I curate it instead of bombarding me with literally everything. Most of who I follow are here already so I'm happy to stay.
