Screenshot of a tweet from VGP Video Games Plus (Ontario, Canada): "A Statement from VGP Regarding Grand Theft Auto VI As gamers and retailers, we recognize that Grand Theft Auto VI is poised to be one of the biggest entertainment launches in history. The excitement surrounding this release is unprecedented, and we understand why so many customers are eagerly anticipating its arrival. For nearly 40 years, VGP has been committed to supporting physical media and preserving the value of physical game ownership. As part of that commitment, our company policy is that we do not carry physical products for video game consoles that contain only a digital download code. Based on the information currently available, the physical release of Grand Theft Auto VI for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is expected to be a code-in-box product. As a result, VGP will not be offering it for sale under our current company policy. We want to be clear that this decision is not a reflection of the game itself. We have tremendous respect for Rockstar Games and the incredible achievement that Grand Theft Auto VI represents. Should Rockstar one day release a physical edition containing a disc in the box, we would be pleased to carry and support that version for our customers. Thank you for your continued support of physical gaming and for helping us champion game preservation and ownership for nearly four decades. — The VGP Team"

CNN article excerpt: " When CNN independently took a sample of the water last Wednesday and consulted with a pool store that regularly tests water to help read the results, it showed phosphate levels far higher than what is recommended to keep algae at bay based on estimates for a pool that holds 6.5 million gallons of water. CNN obtained another test Tuesday that showed the phosphate levels had dropped but were still elevated. Phosphates are a primary nutrient for algae, and high levels make algae growth more likely."
Excerpt from the main link in the quoted post: "Headline: Privacy from the beginning Privacy has been a core design principle at Snap from the very beginning. SPECS are designed to be transparent about how they work. They ask clearly before accessing sensitive information, and an LED indicator lights up when recording is taking place. SPECS prioritize on-device processing, and give people control over what gets stored, synced, shared, or deleted. People should understand what information is being used and remain in control of their experience. Trust isn't something that can be added later—it has to be built in from the start."
Uddrag fra artiklen: "Kyllian Mbappé har selv rødder i Cameroun og Algeriet. Og selvom han er fra en forstad til Paris, er hans indflydelse vokset langt ud over forstæderne. - Han har en kæmpe stor stemme. Ikke bare i Frankrig, men også internationalt. Han er vel verdens mest berømte nulevende franskmænd, og derfor er der virkelig mange, der lytter til lige præcis deres landsholdsanfører. - Men selvom mange lytter, er der også dem, der mener, at han bør klappe i og koncentrere sig om at spille fodbold, lyder det fra Stéphanie Surrugue. Overskrift: Ballade har medført udgangsforbud Frankrig er et land, hvor fodbold kan få folk på gaden. På godt og ondt. Senest var det ondt, efter Paris Saint-Germain vandt Champions League-finalen mod Arsenal. Det fik folk til at gå på gader og stræder. Flere medier meldte om op mod 900 anholdte og flere hundrede sårede. Heriblandt mange politibetjente."
Excerpt from the interview. "Interviewer: Do you think that’s a lesson to other projects within Square Enix, to try to keep the team together? Hamaguchi: I actually never had that idea before. In general, most development teams within Square Enix would just disband after a title. When we started on the next project, we’d start over again with the process of gathering necessary development members and figuring out what roles they will fill. The only exception is probably the Final Fantasy XIV team led by Naoki Yoshida — that’s a huge team that’s been working on multiple expansions — and the Remake series led by me. I think it’s something that we should be mindful of as a company, as we go into titles we work on in the future. Because this did bring out a really huge benefit in terms of speeding up and having an efficient development timeline."

Punkt 7 fra regeringsgrundlaget: "Danmark går forrest i EU for en hårdere regulering af tech-giganterne, bl.a. med et forbud mod afhængighedsskabende design, en fælles europæisk aldersgrænse for sociale medier og for, at tech-giganterne bidrager med en øget skattebetaling til de europæiske samfund."

Rei Ami does the TikTok challenge of pronouncing a bunch of words. She tries to pronounce it in Korean, but the challenge doesn't recognize it. Instead, she has to pronounce it "wrong" in the form of non-native exonyms, bordering on parody. This drives Rei crazier and crazier as the challenge goes on.

"In 2018, I was a guest at Jeff Bezos’s Campfire retreat in Santa Barbara, California. It’s an annual event in which the Amazon founder invites 80-plus guests—celebrities, artists, intellectuals, and anyone else he thinks is interesting—to spend three nights at a private resort. I had recently been approached by Amazon about moving my film-and-television business over from Disney, and although I had declined (or maybe because I had declined), Bezos’s team invited me to Campfire, perhaps keen to impress me with the power of his reach."

Excerpt from the link: Early on, Ta-Nehisi Coates observed, “We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy ... and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.”
"Altman’s new role made him, at twenty-eight, a kingmaker. His job was to select the hungriest and most promising entrepreneurs, connect them with the best coders and investors, and help them develop their startups into industry-defining monopolies (while Y.C. took a six- or seven-per-cent cut). Altman oversaw a period of aggressive expansion, growing Y.C.’s roster of startups from dozens to hundreds. But several Silicon Valley investors came to believe that his loyalties were divided. An investor told us that Altman was known to “make personal investments, selectively, into the best companies, blocking outside investors.” (Altman denies blocking anyone.) Altman had worked as a “scout” for the investment fund Sequoia Capital, as part of a program that involved investing in early-stage startups and taking a small cut of any profits. When Altman made an angel investment in Stripe, a financial-services startup, he insisted on a bigger portion, galling Sequoia’s partners, a person familiar with the deal said. The person added, “It’s a policy of ‘Sam first.’ ” Altman is an investor in, by his own estimate, some four hundred other companies. (Altman denies this characterization of the Stripe deal. Around 2010, he made an initial investment of fifteen thousand dollars in Stripe, a two-per-cent share. The company is now valued at more than a hundred and fifty billion dollars.)"
