A little forest of grape hyacinth muscari.

#BloomScrolling #SpringFlowers #muscari #GrapeHyacinth

A photo of a patch of grape hyacinth muscari taken just above the height of the blooms and looking up the slope they are on . There are 4-5 dozen flower clusters. The tips of the foliage is brown from a frost/freeze a few weeks ago. Behind them is granite bedrock and grasses. The foreground is out of focus.

A bunch of gamers in France are trying to get regulators to stop game companies from shutting down online games after a few years.

They argue that they bought a good that the seller has rendered inoperable not a service.

This won’t work. You can’t force companies to maintain online services forever.

pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/st…


Gamers seek legal win that would stop developers from rendering online games unplayable: 'It is an assault on both consumer rights and preservation of media'

The organizer of "Stop Killing Games" hopes to get France and other governments to examine the legality of live service shutdowns.

You should be able to force companies to design products in a way that doesn’t require them to maintain services forever for the products to remain operable.

@Gargron
Or simply require products to be sold with a clear minimal expiration date for said component.
And have a minimum requirement of at least 2 years as of initial publication, with defined terms on minimum service quality.

I'm not well versed in gaming in general, and online gaming in particular, but for clear consumer information should never be an option.

To me that's the heart of the issue at hand.

My friend Jen is flying down from Sydney, and will be in Melbourne next week in order to perform at the comedy festival! I did this portrait of her when I was messing around with what I could do with wood instead of canvas. So, it's more of a test work. I keep avoiding doing people. I am hoping to soon get back to developing more confidence in painting this subject matter. In any case Jen and I will be having a cup of tea on Tuesday. Woohoo!
