"In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.

Le Monde has a long article (https://lemonde.fr/international/article/2025/11/19/nicolas-guillou-juge-francais-de-la-cpi-sanctionne-par-les-etats-unis-face-aux-attaques-les-magistrats-de-la-cour-tiendront_6654016_3210.html) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.

Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.

He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.

That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund

and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.

Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic relations."

Haha but serious: those fountain pens that cost thousands of dollars are collectible art pieces that aren’t actually optimized for a good writing experience. They’re CEO bait.

Serious hand-writers use fountain pens that mostly cost between $30 and $200. You can get decent ones for $10 but they tend not to be very airtight and quickly dry out.

My #1 practical recommendation is the TWSBI Eco, which is generally around $40 in the west.

EU calls Fascist Trump peace plan for Ukraine unacceptable and capitulation

@Em0nM4stodonEm Sorry, I can't vote since I'm currently low on cyan. And don't you even dare replace it with some 3rd party stuff or I'll DRM brick myself.

Score one for open & repairable hardware! Back to running as smooth as usual after a charging circuit failure. I love this little machine.

TY @mntmnminute for the V2 charging circuit work.

Valve’s announcements last week about their upcoming gaming devices were particularly welcome here at Igalia: a lot of our work will be in the Frame, as it has been in the Deck. From translation layers to frame rates and preventing rendering glitches, we’ve been helping Valve push gaming forward. https://www.igalia.com/2025/11/helpingvalve.html

How AI helps us build higher bar charts in the #curl project

@Em0nM4stodonEm Yes. I was extremely disappointed at reading the top HN comments yesterday and finding that not a single person pointed that out.
Apparently, EU pols don't understand it either - or are being willfully ignorant in the face of USA corporate pressure.

Der Deutsche #Ärztetag hat sich aus gutem Grund ausdrücklich gegen #Abschiebungen aus stationären Gesundheitseinrichtungen ausgesprochen. Dennoch wird dieser Schutzraum immer wieder verletzt. Mit schweren Folgen.

#USCG reverses course on policy to call #swastikas & #nooses 'potentially divisive'

The late-night change came the same day media outlets, led by WaPo, discovered that the #CoastGuard had written a policy…that called those same symbols “potentially divisive.” The term was a shift from a years-long policy…that said symbols like swastikas & nooses were “widely identified with oppression or hatred” & called their display “a potential #hate incident.”

오늘 너무 신난다냥 어떻게 하면 좋냥 진정제 좀 있으면 좋겠는데 당장 어떻게 할 수가 없다냥

솔직히 덕코프를 플레이하면서 들었던 몇가지 곁다리 단상. 1. 이제 트리플에이 게임 제작은 사양세다. 게임의 개발 스케일(허들로써)을 키워올리는 요소들 - 대규모 동기성 멀티플레이, 시네마틱 헤비 비주얼, PBR/High-res 리얼리스틱 그래픽 등은 사실 썩 '빅 히트' 의 요구조건과는 상관이 없다; 잘 쳐도 직교적 관계다. 2. 그런데, 그런 sub-A 스케일의 게임 제작에서도 이제 중국 스튜디오의 캐퍼시티나 포텐셜은 '높이 올려다보는 벽' 처럼 느껴진다. 이거보다 더 공을 들여 이것에는 못 미치는 겜을 내 봤다...

Remember that time Mozilla said it was going to stop working with the personal data removal service Onerep after I published a story showing Onerep's CEO was actually running several people search sites at the same time?

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2024/03/mozilla-drops-onerep-after-ceo-admits-to-running-people-search-networks/

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2024/03/ceo-of-data-privacy-company-onerep-com-founded-dozens-of-people-search-firms/

Yeah, that was in mid-March 2024. In February I wrote about how it had been almost a year since Mozilla said it was going to kick Onerep to the curb and stop offering it as part of their Mozilla Monitor Plus service.

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/02/nearly-a-year-later-mozilla-is-still-promoting-onerep/

Well today Mozilla announced that it is finally "winding down" its partnership with Onerep by winding down Monitor Plus.

"After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to discontinue Monitor Plus, which offered data broker site scans and automated personal data removal."

"We will continue to offer our free Monitor, data breach service, which is integrated into Firefox’s credential manager, and we are focused on integrating more of our privacy and security experiences in Firefox, including our VPN, for free."

"We explored several options to keep Monitor Plus going, but our high standards for vendors, and the realities of the data broker ecosystem made it challenging to consistently deliver the level of value and reliability we expect for our users."

"Current subscribers will retain full access through the wind-down period."

I asked how long this wind-down period would extend, and they said it ends Dec. 17.

Thanks to all the new people following me, which I assume is because of my departure from @srSurveillance Report. If so, please go follow @thenewoil instead.

I mean, you can stay here, but this is my personal account. It's a little all over the place and unhinged. And Eurovision hasn't even really started yet. That's when I get real insufferable.

Jonesy is convinced that

— the floor lamp’s shade needs adjusting,
— the photos on the mantle should be elsewhere,
— my mouse* could be on the floor,
— framed artwork doesn’t need to be level (or on the wall for that matter), and
— the TV could almost certainly be flat on the floor.

Cat-proofing the house continues, more than a year into Ripley & Jonesy’s tenure. (I don’t recall going through any of this 20+ years ago with Pica.)

제작은 Unity 엔진을 사용했고, 스팀웍스 모딩을 지원한다(요주의 - 보안위협). 10월 16일 출시, 현재 스팀 판매가 16,500원.

이러한 요소를 캐주얼 슈팅 (준 평면공간 2D 심플 포인트-앤-슛) 코어 게임플레이로 삼아, '낙오된 플레이어 캐릭터가 잡동사니를 그러모아 살아남고 커다란 무언가를 만들어 그 처지를 벗어난다' 는 골자의 내러티브 하에 싱글플레이어 RPG틱 건액션으로 구성했다. 슈터게임으로써의 기본적인 관능과 밸런스도 근사하다. 몇몇 보스 인카운터에서 보여주는 의도된 설계와 개성들 또한 잘 조화되고, 싱글플레이어 이코노미의 구성 또한 게임을 지겹지 않게 하면서 볼륨을 늘리는 방향으로 작동한다. MP인 원조 타르코프로썬 도달하기 곤란한 지점이다.

덕코프가 정제하는 익스트랙션 슈터 장르의 핵심 요소들은 완전히 정련되어 있다. 1. '런' 으로 불리는 게임 세션 단위 내에서 걸리는 stake - 물품을 얻어도 집으로 돌아오지 못하면 갖고 나간 걸 포함해서 전부 잃을 수 있음 2. 제한된 휴대 공간/무게 내에서 무엇을 집어가고 무엇을 버릴것인가, 어떤 준비물을 챙겨 나갈것인가의 마이크로 딜레마. 3. 사전 정보 없이는 예상할 수 없는 어떤 물품이 언제 필요해질 지 알 수 없는 채로 늘어놓아진 다양한 전리품(loot) vs 제한된 본진 보관공간에 대한 리소스 매니지먼트.
