Iniziativa dei cittadini europei - Mettiamo fine alla distruzione dei videogiochi
cross-posted from: fedit.pl/post/276231
L'iniziativa intende imporre agli editori di lasciare in uno stato funzionale (giocabile) i videogiochi che vendono o concedono in licenza (o le collegate funzionalità e risorse che vendono per i videogiochi che trattano) ai consumatori dell'Unione europea.Nello specifico, punta a impedire che gli editori possano disattivare da remoto i videogiochi prima che siano forniti mezzi ragionevoli per mantenerli in funzione senza coinvolgere gli stessi editori.
L'iniziativa non intende acquisire la proprietà di tali videogiochi, dei diritti intellettuali associati o dei diritti di monetizzazione, né si aspetta che l'editore fornisca risorse per il suddetto videogioco una volta interrotto, lasciandolo in uno stato ragionevolmente funzionale (giocabile).

condanna neocinesica di tastiera bruttina
Appena sveglia stamattina (anche se gli eventi sono successi ieri sera), per fortuna, c’è un aggiornamento sulla questione tastiera… ma non uno davvero piacevole. Affatto!!!

Democratic establishment melts down over Mamdani's win in New York
Driving the news: On Wednesday, many Democratic lawmakers and officials either denounced Mamdani or notably declined to rally around him. Republicans — including President Trump — crowed about Democrats embracing a democratic socialist who has called for reduced police funding and sided with Palestinians in the Gaza war.
- The top two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, both New Yorkers, declined to endorse Mamdani even as they applauded his victory.
- New York Rep. Laura Gillen, from Nassau County, called Mamdani the "absolute wrong choice for New York."
- Rep. Tom Suozzi, also from Nassau County, said he had "serious concerns."
Major Democratic donors — who poured tens of millions into a Super PAC for Cuomo — were having private discussions Wednesday about whether to back an independent run by Cuomo in November's general election, or rally behind unpopular incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who's also running as an independent.

Israel closes the most direct route for aid to Palestinians in Gaza
Israel has closed crossings into northern Gaza, cutting the most direct route for aid to reach hundreds of thousands of people at risk of famine, as airstrikes and shelling killed dozens more people in the devastated Palestinian territory.The move to close the crossings on Thursday will increase diplomatic pressure on Israel as attention shifts from its brief conflict with Iran, back to the violence and grave humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
During the 12 days Israel was fighting Iran, more than 800 Palestinians were killed in Gaza – either shot as they desperately sought food in increasingly chaotic circumstances or in successive waves of Israeli strikes and shelling.
The spokesperson for Gaza’s civil defence agency, Mahmud Bassal, said Israeli forces had killed 56 people on Thursday, including six who were waiting for food in two separate locations.

No love for the dollar as markets fret about Fed independence
A battered dollar is taking another beating as investors, unnerved by fresh signs of an erosion in U.S. central bank independence, waste no time in pushing the greenback back to its lowest levels in over three years.
The dollar was back at multi-year lows against a basket of other major currencies on Thursday , erasing a brief respite provided by safe-haven flows related to Middle East tensions earlier in the week.
Down 10% so far this year and set for its worst year since 2003, the dollar was expected to weaken further as renewed concern about Fed independence comes amid increased expectations for rate cuts and a looming July 9 deadline for trade agreements.
U.S. economy shrank 0.5% between January and March, worse than 2 earlier estimates had revealed
The U.S. economy shrank at a 0.5% annual pace from January through March as President Donald Trump’s trade wars disrupted business, the Commerce Department reported Thursday in an unexpected deterioration of earlier estimates.
First-quarter growth was weighed down by a surge of imports as U.S. companies, and households, rushed to buy foreign goods before Trump could impose tariffs on them. The Commerce Department previously estimated that the economy fell 0.2% in the first quarter. Economists had forecast no change in the department’s third and final estimate.
The January-March drop in gross domestic product — the nation’s output of goods and services — reversed a 2.4% increase in the last three months of 2024 and marked the first time in three years that the economy contracted. Imports expanded 37.9%, fastest since 2020, and pushed GDP down by nearly 4.7 percentage points.

In a first-of-its-kind decision, an AI company wins a copyright infringement lawsuit brought by authors
AI companies could have the legal right to train their large language models on copyrighted works — as long as they obtain copies of those works legally.
That's the upshot of a first-of-its-kind ruling by a federal judge in San Francisco on Monday in an ongoing copyright infringement case that pits a group of authors against a major AI company.
The ruling is significant because it represents the first substantive decision on how fair use applies to generative AI systems.
Fair use doctrine enables copyrighted works to be used by third parties without the copyright holder's consent in some circumstances such as illustrating a point in a news article. Claims of fair use are commonly invoked by AI companies trying to make the case for the use of copyrighted works to train their generative AI models. But authors and other creative industry plaintiffs have been pushing back with a slew of lawsuits.
