Yay! Stop Killing Games initiative is getting some attention! https://www.gamesradar.com/games/racing/after-350000-signatures-in-an-eu-consumer-rights-campaign-ubisoft-is-adding-offline-modes-to-the-crew-games-but-not-the-now-dead-original/

I just want to drop this link right here partially as a bookmark for myself and partially to “spread the message” to people who who care: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAX0gnZ3Nw&list=PLheQeINBJzWa6RmeCpWwu0KRHAidNFVTB&index=1&pp=iAQB. It’s a link to a playlist of videos by Ross Scott - the spokesperson & organizer of Stop Killing Games campaign which explains pretty much almost everything anybody needs to know about this campaign.

If anybody here is European please consider siging this initiative: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home. To learn more about it you can visit this website: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/. Basically, it's goal is to find a solution to a problem where companies design games that rely on central servers to run, then after some period of time (after companies stop making profits) they disable that central server - leaving people unable to play games they paid for. Also, this video gives a longer, better explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAX0gnZ3Nw&list=PL6PNZBb6b9Lv3ZUSQvvtATkSlSXlZY6Oi&index=25.

I just wrote a post on how I set up custom search on my iphone with Brave and Kagi. gemini://alexlevi.smol.pub/custom-search-on-ios Maybe somebody will find it useful.
