Veloren, the free and open source action-adventure role-playing voxel game made in Rust keeps evolving. Since its last public v0.15 release in July 2023, much has changed and lots of improvements were made so far.
Valve just recently launched a big stable update to the Steam Client for both Steam Deck and Desktop PCs, which has come with one big issue for Steam Deck.
I feel like a lot more people use this feature than we think. I always see complaints and people asking for help. Hope Valve puts in some time to get it to a good place.
The KDE team announced "MegaRelease 6", a big upgrade that includes Plasma 6, Frameworks 6 and Gear 24.02 with tons of improvements to this popular desktop environment that's used on the Steam Deck for Desktop Mode.
ABC Classic FM is about to play Beethoven's first symphony. I LOVE Beethoven's music. During finals week at university I used to play all of his symphonies in a row while I was studying. However, as a kid I avoided one of the symphonies my parents owned. It was a vinyl record of the Eroica symphony with a funky seventies cover. I thought it was my parent's "sexy time" album! Eroica...Erotica, pretty close!

In July 1995 South Africa’s new parliament passed a law authorising the formation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The Commission, chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, was appointed in December 1995. The central purpose of the Commission was to promote re-conciliation and forgiveness among perpetrators and victims of apartheid. The Commission was charged with three specific tasks: to discover the causes and nature of human rights violations in South Africa between 1960 and 1994; to identify victims with a view to paying reparations; and to allow amnesty to those who fully disclosed their involvement in politically motivated human rights violations.
Quick Facts ~ The central purpose of the Commission was to promote reconciliation and forgiveness among perpetrators and victims of apartheid by the full disclosure of truth. ~ The apartheid government was found by the TRC to be the main perpetrator of gross human rights violations. ~ The TRC took the testimony of approximately 21 000 victims

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC)
In July 1995 South Africa’s new parliament passed a law authorising the formation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The Commission, chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, was appointed in December 1995. The central purpose of the Commission was to promote re-conciliation and forgiveness among perpetrators and victims of apartheid. The Commission was charged with three specific tasks: to discover the causes and nature of human rights violations in South Africa between 1960 and 1994; to identify victims with a view to paying reparations; and to allow amnesty to those who fully disclosed their involvement in politically motivated human rights violations.
Quick Facts ~ The central purpose of the Commission was to promote reconciliation and forgiveness among perpetrators and victims of apartheid by the full disclosure of truth. ~ The apartheid government was found by the TRC to be the main perpetrator of gross human rights violations. ~ The TRC took the testimony of approximately 21 000 victims; 2 000 of these appeared in public hearings.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was a court-like body assembled in South Africa after the end of Apartheid. Anybody who felt they had been a victim of violence could come forward and be heard at the TRC. Perpetrators of violence could also give testimony and request amnesty from prosecution. The hearings made international news and many sessions were broadcast on national television. The TRC was a crucial component of the transition to full and free democracy in South Africa and, despite some flaws, is generally regarded as very successful. Creation and Mandate The TRC was set up in terms of the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act , No 34 of 1995, and was based in Cape Town. The mandate of the commission was to bear witness to, record and in some cases grant amnesty to the perpetrators of crimes relating to human rights violations, reparation and rehabilitation.
The South African TRC represented a major departure from the approach taken at the Nürnberg trials. It was hailed as an innovative model for building peace and justice and for holding accountable those guilty of human rights violations. At the same time, it laid the foundation for building reconciliation among all South Africans.
“There can be no future unless there is peace. There can be no peace unless there is reconciliation.” ~ Desmond Tutu
“True reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the pain, the hurt, the truth." ~Desmond Tutu
Retributive justice focuses on assigning consequences to those individuals who have committed a crime. Restorative justice focuses on repairing the harm done by the perpetrator and rebuilding that person's relationship with the victim and society.

Looking at the rhetoric of their (Nintendo's) claims, the language deliberately states that Nintendo has a monopoly over the software that runs on their console. Given all of the "anti-gatekeeper" legal initiatives that have taken hold in Europe, it will be interesting to see if Nintendo isn't implicated due to their own language and practices.

Then you have better luck than me. "Dropping a gatling here" - Gatling gets immediately destroyed with an air strike. "I need help over here!" - gets bombed by own teammates with grenades. "ordering Machinegun" - gun gets taken by other player.
