From the Riot Privacy Policy:
"Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT [Do Not Track] signal, Riot Games does not currently respond to browser DNT signals on the Riot services."

I'll give you a clue, Riot. It's in the name: 'Do Not Track'.

How's that for a common understanding?

Everyone, please don't use the 'Stylish' add-on for Firefox.

It is harvesting user data, including a list of every website a user visits, and reporting it back to the owner, a company called 'SimilarWeb'.

What if Luna Lovegood isn't my waifu...?

What if I am hers?

🤯

Why the heck would a company that makes hard mints put BEEF GELATINE in the ingredients? For a hard mint. Not even a chewy mint, I'm talking about a hard crown mints.

It's almost as if companies are trying to make life as a vegetarian impossible.

I got off the phone with my Internet provider's helpdesk.

He didn't know about the controversy about Huawei and their networking equipment. Or Kaspersky and their security equipment.

Security seems such an unimportant matter to these people.

Huawei's links to the Chinese government is hardly the be all and end all of security, what with Thrip.

...and Equation Group.

...and Fancy Bear.

...and Rocket Kitten.

...and... ah, my head hurts.

Forget Jurassic World.

Come visit Australia, and see the real, live, actual dinosaurs.

Parliament House is open to visitors from 9am to 5pm. The cafe closes at 4:30pm.

A major warning for all the gamers out there...

Politics Show more

As an Australian, I have to deal with a disgusting and horrifying government.

I also do not have any representative in the EU or in the USA.

Yet, these two massive political bodies have the power to legislate on matters that affect the whole globe, especially regarding issues like 'Copyright', 'the Internet', and 'which people to murder with drone strikes'.

I cannot 'write my congressman', nor can I 'phone my MEP'.

What the hell am I supposed to do?
😭

I found a game called 'Zombinis' on Steam.

I was most disappointed that it was not a game about zombies in bikinis.

Judging from the short Elder Scrolls VI teaser from E3, I'm speculating that it will be set in Hammerfell and/or High Rock. Expect Orsimer (Orcs), Bretons, and Red Guard.

The terrain is too boreal and tundra to be Summerset Isles, Valenwood, Elsweyr, or Black Marsh.

It might also be Yokuda or Atmora, one of the smaller continents of Nirn, which would make a change from Tamriel.

The upcoming Tom Clancy's The Division 2 game from Ubisoft looks like yet another carbon-copy open-world shooter.

The Division 1 was unique: New York, middle of winter, pandemic apocalypse. The snow and cold effects were amazing.

The Division 2 looks like just another Ubisoft shooter; Ghost Recon Wildlands with buildings.

Tripe-A developers work in a paint-by-numbers process so often now it's starting to hurt.

Piper is definitely my Fallout 4 waifu... 💕
