According to the 3 criteria mentioned in the article, YouTube wouldn’t need to be banned, logging in to YouTube would be banned. YouTube is still functional (mostly) when logged out, and wouldn’t violate those 3 criteria. The other services mentioned, like gaming, would be banned.
I thought elvish meant someone who likes rock and roll music
100% online games in the past were perfectly playable even after developers / publishers ended support. Online only games dying is a relatively recent invention. This petition is asking for consumer protection to return to the norm where a purchaser of an online game always has the choice of being able to play it in some fashion.
A game developer could do this by releasing a server application. They could even do this at the barest minimum by releasing documentation describing how the server ought to work, to allow for reverse engineering.
The Stop Killing Games campaign as a whole isn’t asking for perpetual server access, just to ensure that games stay in some sort of playable state.

At this point the web is about as complex as an operating system in terms of complexity. That needs really strong specific standards in order for it to work, and in turn projects like web browsers are huge and complex.
If someone wanted to build a web browser that only followed the simpler parts of the specifications, it wouldn’t work for many websites* and people would not use that browser.
*Whether or not sites need to be so complex is another question entirely, but the reality right now is that they are
Knife Rain? Wasn’t expecting an adventure time reference on star trek, but I’ll take it!
There’s a lot of references linking back to nova squadron here, but I’ve got no idea how it all fits together. Looking forward to the finale.
More ascension stuff this episode. I wonder if that’s ever going to be explored, or if it will only ever be left as a gag. It seems like the kind of thing that would be difficult to dig into in a satisfying way.
It was a froidian slip
This is a good change. I think we could be in a much better place if companies that owned both production and streaming were more open about licensing.

Tendi just wanting to play in the sand is cute.
Boimler being completely fed up with the assignment is great - he knew exactly what he was walking into, but did it anyway (I’m glad it actually had payoff at the end).
Rutherford has finally resolved badgey, and seemingly learnt nothing.
I didn’t feel like mariner had a whole lot to do in this episode, she just kind of tagged along.
To be honest, I could get behind fines for overrunning street works. Hell, go further: fines for any overrunning, underdelivering or overbudget public contracts. That would quickly resolve the mess that the torys have made giving out dodgy contracts to their mates.
It reminds of the kelpien-baul relationship from discovery. If they were from the same planet it would suggest that the betazed-caitian relationship resolved it self at an early stage of development and the kelpien-baul one didn’t. Maybe the fact that betazoids are emphatic worked in their favour, and helped them to grow together.
This might be going back a while, I haven’t played or looked anything up in along time, but back in the early days was the minecraft wiki not already its own site. At what point did they move to fandom? It’s good they’re moving, but why did they ever go there in the first place?
Voyager used Bio neural circuitry / gel packs throughout the ship. From the name alone, that sounds like it is designed to mimic the living neural system. Does that mean it could have developed a soul, given enough time, whereas data could not?
I really liked the facial expression animations in this episode. Its difficult to pull them off in 2D animation, but it really helped in this episode.
French and Portuguese at the convention, their arms open.
This was a top episode
Great finale
I find it immensely infuriating that the article’s byline shows they are reporting from ‘London’ when in fact this happened not just in a different city, Edinburgh, but in a completely different country, Scotland.
Sad about the pandas, there are far too many people that simply can’t be trusted with fireworks. Limiting it to a single night in dedicated display venues run by licensed organisations wouldn’t remove the noise entirely, but it would reduce the frequency and would probably help all animals.
