I've been working on a website for my game studio. The layout was created via ChatGPT (it's really great at generating HTML5 templates without the modern web bloat).

It was hard to write the about page because I didn't want to be unprofessional and bash other studios, but I wanted to make my point across that we will NEVER include any DRM, telemetry, or live service crap in our games.

Here is a brilliant idea: a website with an interactive map that shows businesses that are known to use facial recognition. As a bonus, have another interactive map that shows businesses that have gone cashless.

There are sites like this already, but they only list big-chains. It would be nice to know about small businesses as well.

>But how do we know if they are using it?

Employees can anonymously report it. If they see CCTV footage in their store's office and there are white squares over peoples heads, then they can report it anonymously.

@arc Drew DeVault tried (and failed) to anonymously create a website full of alleged testimonies from people who have interacted with Stallman, but people realized the site was from Drew given the similar wording, the fact that it was using the same IP address as his personal website, and both sites were created using the Hugo framework.

@parker @crunklord420 Yeah, I always suspected that it was more than just Stallman views on consensual sex. Even before that was brought up, I remember there being a lot of controversy about the GNU project not adopting the Covenant CoC after Linux adopted it.

It's strange that Drew DeVault has been mysteriously offline for the past couple of days while the Stallman-Report.org hit piece was online.

@crunklord420 Option D: Secretly payed by Big Tech to destroy FOSS projects by creating pointless drama.

@cajax @lina I don't think there's that much to be recycled and retro-computers need more proper care than, say, retro-consoles. Though if you look at Craigslist, you do see a lot of schools selling off their old, 2009 computers. I have no idea who's buying them. You can easily run most PC games from that era just fine on a modern computer, unlike games made for old Macs.

@cajax @lina They seriously couldn't just emulate?

My Dad used to work as a math teacher for a public school. He somehow kept all of the old Macs they used, but he noticed that some of the kids were surprisingly retro computer enthusiasts so he gave them away. Someone was able to install MacOSX Tiger on one of them and I didn't even know that was possible.

@cajax @lina The public school system I went to was still using Windows 2000 computers up until 2012. Granted, it was just one per classroom and it was always paired with a Windows XP computer, but they were there because they still worked with most websites at the time which is what most people used them for.
