I truly hope Prime Minister Carney doesn’t drop the mandate.

There are two very important parts of the enabling legislation that too many people just don’t seem to know, and it’s skewing the online discussions everywhere:

  1. PHEV’s are still going to be allowed after 2035. So if you are so enamoured with giving your hard earned money to the oil and gas companies you’ll still be able to do so for decades to come;
  2. The mandate doesn’t affect used vehicles at all;
  3. Companies that miss the legislated targets can instead get credits by building out EVSE (charging) infrastructure. So for all those online pundits who think we should drop the mandate because we don’t have enough charging infrastructure, we get that infrastructure by keeping the mandates, and it gets paid for by the companies selling too many gas powered cars (and not taxpayers).

PM Carney needs to tell the automotive executives who say they can’t sell enough EVs/PHEVs to start building out infrastructure. It may be worthwhile to re-balance some of the timelines and how much the infrastructure credits are worth, but dumping them entirely is bad for Canada as a whole.

While I never had one I remember following the build page, and I was crushed when the price point was far too high for me to even consider getting one. However I did ride around with a carputer for some time before an affordable commercial head unit with CD/MP3 capability became available.

It was an off the shelf IBM desktop in the backseat, powered by an inverter, and controlled by a numeric keypad stuck to the center console with some velcro. Getting music on it required hauling the whole thing in the house, but at the time it felt pretty awesome to have pieced together a solution that worked.

Best privacy preserving measures

Considering the current intrusive cyber climate, what are the best ways to preserve privacy?

For example, I have been exclusively using a VPN connection network-wide at home setup on OpenWrt, which in turn has a PiHole as its DNS, with the PiHole using Unbound and NextDNS (redundant I know, but I use it to encrypt my requests more than anything else).

I also have Wireguard setup so I can VPN all my devices to my network while I am on the road (also have a NextDNS profile installed. Yes I know, it’s redundant).

I also basically have all my “smart” devices (TV, lightbulbs, air purifier, etc…) at home cutoff from the internet using OpenWrt’s firewall to prevent them from calling home.

I rotate web browsers frequently to try and attempt avoiding getting fingerprinted, not sure how useful that is.

I switched email providers to mailbox.org because f*** Google and Microsoft.

I also am hosting my own cloud drive on Nextcloud to avoid using services like GDrive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc…

I own Apple devices which aren’t the best for privacy but migrating from a whole ecosystem that I have been embedded in for MANY years is easier said than done. Hopefully in the future that’s my next move.

I feel like there is a lot more I can do but I am not sure what else. I would appreciate any and all suggestions ya’ll might have.

Lol to this, because it's partially true, but also a bit defeatist.

You need to stay on top of berry bushes quarterly in warmer zones, but this person is in Minnesota. I don't think they'll thrive their like they would in warmer zones without harsh winters.

If farms can keep them in check, regular gardeners can as well, it just takes a fair amount of effort.

YSK that you can often get higher-quality information in your searches by searching specifically for PDF files. You do this by appending "filetype:pdf" to your query

You can even add a search like this to your browser's inbuilt search engines, with a string like this:
* searx.bndkt.io/search?q=filety… %s &slanguage=all
* duckduckgo.com/?q=filetype%3Ap… %s &ia=web

The %s is the placeholder string used by both Firefox, Chromium, and many of their derivatives like LibreWolf, ZenBrowser, and Vivaldi. You'll need to remove the spaces around it in the two URLs above (as Lemmy changed all my URLs without spaces to something different).

Ah that’s fair, I can see where you’re coming from on that. Those icons could 100% be generated with AI given the right prompting.

In my book, they look way more like stock assets to me due to how generic the symbols are, and the consistent styling. The “army guard” icon is kinda sus because of the stick “gun”, but that can be read as deliberate ambiguity to appease potential corporate customers who don’t want gun depictions in their vector stock images, and same deal with the generic “six point star”.

You’d also think they’d have chosen some sort of more detailed depiction of “isolation & surveillance” than a megaphone, or a lightning head for “fear & control”. If any of the accompanying text was included in the prompt to generate these images, the output would’ve been completely different.

Moon mining is getting closer to reality: Why we need global rules for extracting space resources

Author: Martina Elia Vitoloni | DCL Candidate Air and Space Law, McGill University

Celestial bodies like the moon contain valuable resources, such as lunar regolith — also known as moon dust — and helium-3. These resources could serve a range of applications, including making rocket propellant and generating energy to sustaining long missions, bringing benefits in space and on Earth.

The first objective on this journey is being able to collect lunar regolith. One company taking up this challenge is ispace, a Japanese space exploration company ispace that signed a contract with NASA in 2020 for the collection and transfer of ownership of lunar regolith.

The company recently attempted to land its RESILIENCE lunar lander, but the mission was ultimately unsuccessful. Still, this endeavour marked a significant move toward the commercialization of space resources.

These circumstances give rise to a fundamental question: what are the legal rules governing the exploitation of space resources? The answer is both simple and complex, as there is a mix of international agreements and evolving regulations to consider.


The article has a breakdown of the laws and further context

Otter Raft

Agreements and rules are necessary so that one group doesn't ruin it for everyone else. It also prevents (or at least reduces) conflict if everyone knows what the rules of the game are.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

A significant development in the governance of space resources has been the adoption Artemis Accords, which — as of June 2025 — has 55 signatory nations. The accords reflect a growing international consensus concerning the exploitation of space resources.

Considering the typically slow pace of multilateral negotiations, a handful of nations introduced national legislation. These laws govern the legality of space resource exploitation, allowing private companies to request licenses to conduct this type of activity.

To date, six nations have enacted this type of legislation: the United States in 2015, Luxembourg in 2017, the United Arab Emirates in 2019, Japan in 2021, Brazil in 2024 and most recently, Italy, which passed its law on June 11, 2025.

Among these, Luxembourg’s legal framework is the most complete. It provides a series of requirements to provide authorization for the exploitation of space resources. In fact, ispace’s licence to collect lunar regolith was obtained under this regime.


If you are referring to this paragraph:

These principles reaffirm the freedom of use and exploration of outer space for peaceful purposes, while introducing rules pertaining to the safety of the activities and their sustainability, as well as the protection of the environment, both of Earth and outer space.


Space junk is a growing issue, see Kessler Syndrome

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_…

The Kessler syndrome underscores the critical need for effective space traffic management and collision avoidance strategies to ensure the long-term viability of space exploration and utilization.

The Kessler syndrome is troublesome because of the domino effect and feedback runaway wherein impacts between objects of sizable mass spall off debris from the force of the collision. The fragments can then hit other objects, producing even more space debris: if a large enough collision or explosion were to occur, such as between a space station and a defunct satellite, or as the result of hostile actions in space, then the resulting debris cascade could make prospects for long-term viability of satellites in particular low Earth orbits extremely low


It's a big enough concern that Kessler Syndrome is one of the potential solutions to the Fermi Paradox

Some astronomers have hypothesized Kessler syndrome as a possible or likely solution to the Fermi paradox, the lack of any sign of alien life in the universe. Any intelligent civilization which becomes spacefaring could eventually extinguish any safe orbits via Kessler syndrome, trapping itself within its home planet.

Okay, so this is one of Asus's consumer models that fits in the "Windowstop" category, meaning a lot of the hardware is going to be windows-only for various reasons.

It's got an ALC272 which IS supported, but that doesn't mean the microphone will be, especially if it's on the USB bus for whatever reason.

Couple questions:

1) Do other microphones work, just not internal?
2) Does your volume control work as expected
3) Does the webcam work, and does the internal microphone work only when the webcam is engaged?
4) What do apps like Discord or Zoom detect as available for your inputs?

As a test, install pavucontrol and qasmixer. Open pavucontrol, and check ALL the input settings (there are many combos). If nothing there shows activity, launch qasmixer, select the 'hw' view on the right, then try selecting different mixers and see if one finally clicks.

If any of these are successful, your mic is detected, and your mixer settings are messed up so it's not being enabled as an input sink.

If none of these work, you're going to have to dig restart, then run sudo dmesg and grep through looking for information regarding audio devices, or similar errors to see if it can't detect it.

From the product specs, it looks like it might have Harmon Kardon speakers, which may also tie into the microphone, and that's going to be problematic if it's a USB device for a number of reasons I won't dive into. Overall, this model just seems to be problematic from digging around. Example: reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/160…

  1. other microphones work but the quality is bad
  2. volume control works as expected
  3. Webcam works just no sound.
  4. when i go on zoom or discord there is no available inputs

the internal mic used to work but then I had to do some update and now its not.

Is there a chance that there is some config file that is blocking something? like i made some kind of setting in a config file that is making this happen?

Audio devices can have multiple modes or "profiles" that determine what they do.

For my headset I have:

For my internal sound card I have:

If I set my headset to one of the options that doesn't have "+ Mono Input" the mic stops working and doesn't even show up in settings and apps anymore. Same if I use the "Stereo Output" mode on my internal sound card. They must be set to a mode with both output and input enabled to work.

I can see this from "Sound" in my KDE settings, but you can also configure this in the "Configuration" tab of pavucontrol.

I had no doubt that it was, I guess my post was more that they have both been around for a bit doing close to the same task. So for the people pretending this is "Gnome abandoning things like they always do" I think it's kind of silly to not expect a "default" app that is more than 7+ years old to be replaced with something newer.

Especially because these are the "default" apps that I would expect to be replaced once someone learns the DE and outgrows the defaults.

Peinliche Deutsche kaufen so billig wie möglich und werden dann krank und dick.


Wenn man sich die linke Seite des Posts ansieht: Marken-Coffee-to-go, Marken-Cola, Marken-Chips, Marken-Sandwich sind aber gar nicht so billig wie möglich. Das gibt es alles billiger von Eigenmarken und Konkurrenzfirmen. Vielleicht ist der Post da einfach nicht akkurat, aber die Produkte würden ja nicht angeboten wenn sie niemand kauft.

Überall Singles mit kalten Küchen! Vielleicht ist die Hyper-Individualisierung eine kapitalistische Falle, die absichtlich traurige, einsame Konsumenten produziert.


Wo will man auch heutzutage noch Partner treffen? Bei Tinder? Im immer seltener werdenden Dritten Raum (ein Ort, an dem Leute sich aufhalten können ohne Geld bezahlen zu müssen)? "Hyper-Individualisierung" klingt, als hätten die Singles einfach nur keine Lust sich Partner zu suchen.

[Fix] KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland - tablet pen suddenly not changing pointer position

Symptoms


Stylus taps are registered as well as button presses (on the last cursor position). Cursor doesn't change position.
"Test tablet" in "Drwaing Tablet" KDE settings only displays Stylus release events.
X11 works.
Finger touch still works.

Solution


Rename or delete ~/.config/kcminputrc, or remove config section related to "Pen" (not tested). Deleting the config resets other mouse pointer settings like speed, device enabled/disabled and calibrations.
Then log out and log back in.

Precursor


Testing pen in "Test tablet" section.

Other attempted fixes


Log out and back in - Fail
Reboot - Fail
Moving cursor on login screen and during login process - Fail
Insert and remove pen again - Fail
Shutdown and disconnect battery (in UEFI) - Fail
Removing kcminputrc after diffing with Timeshift snapshot and filtering for interesting files with grep - Pass

No, she is saying your power is in pressuring MPs and other politicians to push back against C-2, push back on Carney being an American suck-up, supporting sanctions on Israel, boycotting products and services that support the genocide and Trump's deportation scheme, push companies to drop Gardaworld for their involvement in constructing the concentration camp, and on.

We can fix a lot of things ourselves or just with time like, lack of content, engagement etc. but without a hard-line against the tankies like wide defederation of .ml (or at least just the big ones like .world) fixing the outside reputation is going to be a tall order. Even with PieFed

We don’t know what happens to the waste we recycle, and that’s a problem
There is a glaring lack of tracking for global recycling. Poor waste management is deeply connected to climate change, plastic pollution and global nutrient imbalances globally.

Economies also suffer from the lack of tracking. We extract, process and then landfill and incinerate trillions of dollars of materials per year. Instead, these could be recirculating, creating new jobs and reducing reliance on global trade.

To shift to alternative, circular models, we need better data on local and global waste management.

My research demonstrates that more local waste tracking through digitalization could yield multiple benefits. It could help track hyper-local recycling and reuse, initiatives that are usually considered too small and burdensome to include in national waste tracking efforts.

And compared to national waste tracking, localized waste tracking could also provide more timely and relevant insights on the effectiveness of policies, infrastructure investments and education.

Because waste and recycling is a provincial matter (like many things)... saying Canada doesn't have a standardized federal framework is fine, but kind of a shallow take considering this article didn't bring up any provincial examples at all.

BC is on the ball with recycling, reporting and auditing composition.report

Ontario is trying to standardize their system and it puts cost and collection responsibilities on producers supposedly, but it could lead to lower recovery rates.

Alberta or Saskatchewan probably don't care that much, or will support it to the extent it helps oil and resource companies.

Palestinian woman released from ICE custody after lengthy detention
By #MEE staff
Published date: 3 July 2025 20:22 BST Last update: 07:00 EDT

"The day before she was released, on Monday, Sakeik was awoken by guards and told that she was going to be removed from the detention facility in Texas, where she was being held. An officer told Sakeik that she was being deported, but then she was not.

Sakeik was first threatened with deportation on 12 June when ICE agents brought her to the tarmac at Fort Worth Alliance Airport and told her they were deporting her to “the border of Israel.”

A US federal judge had previously ordered that Sakeik could not be deported."

'Ward was arrested and almost deported simply because she is Palestinian and ICE thought they could get away with it'
- Chris Godshall-Bennett, lawyer representing Sakeik

An Open Source Conversation Response Path Exploration System using Monte Carlo Tree Search
Instead of just generating the next response, it simulates entire conversation trees to find paths that achieve long-term goals.

How it works:

  • Generates multiple response candidates at each conversation state
  • Simulates how conversations might unfold down each branch (using the LLM to predict user responses)
  • Scores each trajectory on metrics like empathy, goal achievement, coherence
  • Uses MCTS with UCB1 to efficiently explore the most promising paths
  • Selects the response that leads to the best expected outcome

Limitations:

  • Scoring is done by the same LLM that generates responses
  • Branch pruning is naive - just threshold-based instead of something smarter like progressive widening
  • Memory usage grows with tree size, there currently no node recycling

Independence from the US
This year, like every other year, Americans will celebrate Independence Day with flag-waving, and parades, and fireworks. The political system the flag and the parades and fireworks are supposed to represent is in tatters, but everybody likes a party.

For Americans, the madness gripping their country is a catastrophe. For non-Americans, it is an accidental revolution. This Independence Day, the world is declaring its independence from the US.

The lesson the Americans once taught the British, they are teaching the rest of the world: there are no necessary nations. There are no exceptional countries. There are no permanent global orders

I use 2:1 when I bother to heat it in a pot, but recently I've taken to just filling sugar and boiling water into the intended container and shaking it every couple of minutes, and that method leads to somewhat more watery syrup. Still more sugar than water, though.

If a recipe needs more dilution, you can always add water while mixing the cocktail. I do that pretty often.

Linux distro/setup best at not crashing from sleep/wake?

PikaOS maybe too "hobby oriented" to expect "sleep stability", but I understand most/all bugs to be debian or kde upstream ones. Is gnome still much better at stability? Is there a distribution that fixed sleep problems for you? open vs closed nvidia drivers?

Support for UEFI on MBR was originally added in blivet#764 to accommodate cloud image use cases, such as AWS, which at the time did not support UEFI booting on GPT disks. These constraints no longer apply to modern cloud platforms, making MBR-based UEFI setups unnecessary for current Fedora deployments.


Exactly. MBR is pretty much not used at this point except on legacy hardware where EFI is not supported. As mentioned, it's also unreliable in this particular combo.

Removing this does two things:

1) Ensures the most reliable way of installing is enforced by default

2) Removed untested and entangled bits of code that allows this to work (though the volume of code removed won't be huge)

For those panicking about it, this is not something you need to worry about. Here’s what this actually does:

Enforce the use of GPT partition tables for all UEFI-based Fedora installations for x86 architecture. This removes support for installing Fedora in UEFI mode on MBR-partitioned disks on x86 systems


You probably have already been using GPT on your UEFI system since you had a UEFI system. Even if you somehow were using MBR, this probably;
1. Won’t break existing installations, as it’s merely support for installs of this type
2. Would not be a problem even if somehow the broke existing installs, as it’s not difficult to convert MBR to GPT.

Disabled secure boot and stuff in UEFI.

Any suggestions? I feel stupid.

Getting Linux on a Surface can be hard.

How did you format the USB drive? I could never get a usb to boot on my Surface Go unless it was made in Rufus using Windows. I believe you need to format the USB (with no iso) as an unbootable disc with fat32 and GPT and THEN put the iso you want on it. (Two separate operations on the same USB stick.)

There's also a custom Linux Kernel just for Surfaces that you can use for better driver compatibility.

Edit: I see you mentioned Ventoy. I got some ISOs to work with it, but most didn't. Then again, I couldn't get some ISOs to work with Rufus either.

Katastrophe: Stromstoffbilanz für Landwirtschaft abgeschafft
Doch die Verordnung war das einzige Werkzeug, mit dem eine Überdüngung auf die verursachenden Betriebe zurückzuführen war. Nun fürchten Experten, dass die Nitratwerte im Trinkwasser wieder steigen könnten, weil die Verursacher wieder anonym wären.
Wenn das passiert, könnte das auch für die Regierung Folgen haben.2018 wurde Deutschland von der EU für die Nichteinhaltung der Nitratgrenzwerte im Trinkwasser verklagt. Eine Klage, die 2023 zurückgezogen wurde, weil die EU-Kommission die von Deutschland ergriffenen Korrekturen als hinreichend ansah. Dazu gehörte auch die 2018 eingeführte Stoffstrombilanzierungsverordnung.

Seit ihrer Einführung ist die Menge an Stickstoff, die von landwirtschaftlichen Flächen in die Umwelt gelangt, um fast ein Drittel gefallen.
Dr. Benjamin Leon Bodirsky, PIK

Trotzdem hat das Bundesministerium für Landwirtschaft, Ernährung und Heimat (BMLEH) die Stoffstrombilanzverordnung abgeschafft. Bundesminister Rainer sagt, er löse ein Wahlversprechen zum Bürokratieabbau ein: "Damit befreien wir unsere Höfe von jährlich 18 Millionen Euro Bürokratieballast."


Dazu als Einordnung: 304 Milliarden Euro Umsatz im "agribusiness" I'm Jahr 2023 laut Agrarheute

Die Aufhebung der Stoffstrombilanzierung kommt faktisch einem Rückfall in die Gesetzlosigkeit im Bereich der Düngung gleich.
Prof. Klaus Dittert, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen

Bestraft würden nun nämlich wieder die Landwirte, die sich an Regelungen gehalten und verantwortungsvoll gedüngt hätten. Umweltsünder, die überdüngen, hätten wieder freie Fahrt, so Dittert.

[...] das mit der EU vereinbarte Wirkungsmonitoring, welches Bestandteil der Nitrat-Richtlinie ist, wird nun nicht mehr durchgeführt.
Das könnte die EU-Kommission dazu veranlassen, das Vertragsverletzungsverfahren von 2018 wieder aufzunehmen. Es drohen Milliardenstrafen, die schlussendlich Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher schultern - ebenso wie höhere Preise für Trinkwasser. Denn das Herausfiltern von Nitrat ist teuer.


Klassiker in D: Grenzwert wird überschritten -> es wird im Bestfall reguliert -> Grenzwert wird unterschritten -> "das braucht sich kein Mensch; Bürokratie yay"

Ich bin so frustriert und Müde von der bekloppten CSU es ist doch nicht zu fassen. Für 18 Mio, so ein schmarrn.


Nitrat im Wasser: Steigt der Wert nach Aus für Stromstoffbilanz?

Wie viel Dünger verlässt den Hof? Mit der Stoffstrombilanz konnte das genau zugeordnet werden. Jetzt wurde sie abgeschafft. Nehmen die Schadstoffe in Boden und Wasser wieder zu?

Man beachte bei der Folge, dass ab Minute 33 auch das mit dem Fenster aufmachen getestet wird, unter anderem werden im Trockenen Eisengewichte auf eine Autotür gestapelt, um den Unterwasserdruck zu simulieren, wenn man im gesunkenen Auto das Fenster per normalem Fensterheber öffnen will. Im Endeffekt gilt, sobald das Wasser ein Fenster auch nur teilweise bedeckt, hilft in der Tat nur noch der Nothammer.

Finde aber schon cool, dass der ADAC das hier praktisch ausprobiert bzw. demonstriert hat.

Polish opposition proposes entry ban for migrants from Middle East and Africa
Poland’s main opposition party, the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS), has proposed an entry ban for people from certain countries in the Middle East and Africa. It says this would help stop Germany’s practice of sending migrants who have illegally crossed the border back to Poland.

The proposal comes amid renewed debate over how to tackle migration, with the Polish government on Tuesday announcing the reintroduction of controls on Poland’s borders with Germany and Lithuania in an effort to prevent the “uncontrolled flow of migrants”.

After Prime Minister Donald Tusk had announced the border controls, the head of PiS’s parliamentary caucus, Mariusz Błaszczak, said that the government’s actions were “too little, too late”.

“This crisis has been going on for months,” he continued. “This issue requires far-reaching action.”

Błaszczak said that PiS would submit a bill to parliament introducing a temporary ban on entry to Poland for third-country nationals from “specific countries outside Europe…whose citizens illegally cross borders”.

Previously, on Monday, PiS party leader Jarosław Kaczyński had called for an “immediate ban on entry to the territory of Poland for people from the Middle East and North Africa”.

PiS has not yet specified which Middle Eastern and African countries would be included in its proposed ban. It says they would be selected based on analysis of data showing which nationalities most often cross borders illegally or are transferred to Poland from Germany.

A government information campaign discouraging people from trying to illegally enter Poland was recently launched in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Iraq, Pakistan and Egypt, countries from which Poland has identified the largest numbers of people crossing the border from Belarus.

Since 2021, tens of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers – mainly from Asia and Africa – have tried to enter Poland from Belarus, with the encouragement and assistance of the Belarusian authorities.

In response, Poland has heavily fortified its eastern border with physical barriers and electronic monitoring. The government also recently banned asylum claims by people crossing from Belarus. Those measures have led to a dramatic decline in the numbers entering via that route.

In his remarks on Tuesday, Błaszczak made clear, however, that PiS’s proposed entry ban was designed to address the issue that has recently caused most controversy, which is Germany’s policy of sending back to Poland thousands of migrants who crossed the Polish-German border illegally.

Many of those sent back are Ukrainians. Others are non-Europeans, often from Asia and Africa, who have either claimed asylum in Poland – and therefore must remain there while their applications are processed – or have simply passed through it after entering the EU irregularly.

“After the introduction of this [proposed] law, Polish border guards will be able to prevent citizens of these countries from entering our territory,” said Błaszczak. “So those who are today being transferred from Germany by the German authorities, or who are trying to cross from Germany to the Polish side, will not be able to do so.”

The migrant returns carried out by Germany take place under a combination of EU regulations, bilateral agreements with Poland, and the border controls that Berlin reintroduced in 2023. Earlier this year, Tusk declared that Poland may stop adhering to such agreements.

However, some Poles have sought to take matters into their own hands, organising self-declared “citizen patrols” – some of them hundreds strong – at the German border to monitor and prevent migrant returns.

Błaszczak said that PiS politicians will be visiting the German border to make clear that “we support the border defence movement”, which he described as “Polish patriots who took matters into their own hands when Donald Tusk’s state abdicated [its responsibilities]”.

He also pledged that the party “will provide support to those who are persecuted by the current authorities of our country” for undertaking such actions, reports the Polish Press Agency (PAP).

Earlier this week, Tusk and interior minister Tomasz Siemoniak criticised the actions of the citizen patrols, saying that they are disrupting the work of border officers and spreading false claims about the number and types of migrants being transferred by Germany.

I'm impressed by Rambo III for DOS

Rambo III for DOS genuinely surprised me.

I’d previously played the Commodore 64 version—a predictable top-down shooter with decent graphics for the old brown breadbox, but nothing remarkable.

The DOS version, released in 1989, really stands out. It supports VGA graphics and AdLib sound, delivering crisp colors and catchy music that were impressive for the time.

What blew me away, though, was the control options. Not only does it support keyboard and joystick, but you can also move and shoot using the mouse—a rarity for the platform back then. Even better, it actually works pretty well by the standards of the day.

Rambo III came out in many versions: arcade, Master System, Genesis. The computer versions are mostly similar, each carrying quirks unique to their platforms—you could find it on Atari ST, Amiga, MSX, C64, Amstrad CPC, and even ZX Spectrum.

The DOS release covers CGA, EGA, and VGA graphics modes plus a variety of sound options, offering a surprisingly eclectic experience. While critics favored the Genesis version, I think the DOS port holds its own. It’s more than playable and can deliver some solid fun.

But it’s really about removing democratic guardrails and making it easier to cut backroom deals with powerful corporations.”
