So, what exactly does Minecraft (one of the primary games mentioned in the lawsuit) do to cause this? Because that seems like a major outlier compared to the other listed games.

It would help if the lawsuit was actually focused on lootboxes, microtransactions, and the like as harmful gambling.

But it doesn’t. The lawsuit claims video games themselves being good creates an addiction.

It certainly is more mask off this time around. They aren’t trying to hide behind euphemistic slogans like “ethics in game journalism”. Now they are just blatantly open about their anger that women and minorities are being represented in games and how that’s a bad thing.

Conservatives always accuse others of the things they do.

There’s a reason why a bunch of poor people in inland Florida, which would be becoming close to beach front property within the century, are being evicted and bought out by rich people and companies.

It’s pretty disgusting if your opposition to ethnic cleansing is based on whether the people being killed are pro-LGBT or not.

I support the people of North Korea and the Uighurs against their oppressors regardless of whether they’re homophobes or not.

No, it has jurisdiction in the EU. And Lemmy is a part of the EU jurisdiction.

Unless the devs want to block everyone in the EU from accessing the site.

Sure. Lemmy does have such a presence though.

It’s been a problem for a while. Considering major social media companies have already gotten massive fines from the EU for violating the GDPR, maybe the lemmy devs will put more effort in setting up a deletion system once the EU sends them a fine for breaking the law?

The GDPR is a required to comply EU law for all websites in their jurisdiction. You can’t get away with claiming “but people choose to join the website”.

Many other websites and even major social media sites have gotten fined and other sanctions put against them already for violating it.

I mean, with the vast majority of inter-departmental emails, no, one can’t be bothered, because it’s pointless busywork communication.

Those secondary sources often aren’t reliable as well. It depends on the source and its history of accuracy in reporting. There’s plenty of newspapers that have been determined to not be a reliable source, including any tabloids.

It’s also rather inaccurate. One can use a primary source like the DOT for information to add to an article. It’s just that a primary source like that doesn’t contribute to general notability and importance of the subject matter. The subject needs to be shown to have relevance that has been covered in other forms than just primary sources.

The use of primary sources has long been restricted to minimal usage, since primary means any form of self-published claim. And that sort of source shouldn’t contribute to any form of notability.

“Then on the other hand you can find an article on every Pokemon on Wikipedia.”

You’re rather out of date with that claim. Once upon a time, like a decade or more ago, this was true. But when the notability requirements became stricter, the vast majority of Pokemon articles were removed and redirected to list articles. There are currently only 28 articles on individual Pokemon, out of a possible 1021.

I remember this controversy. The highway editors in question were super opposed to any form of referencing requirements for these highway articles that all other Wikipedia articles have to adhere to and wanted individual articles on the most minute small road routes.

When the editing community at large suggested having broader higher level articles that combined these much less notable articles into a bigger article that was more properly referenced and better showcased a level of importance, the highway editors…well, to put it bluntly, had a hissy fit.

It’s a stalemate, largely. While Russia was massively on the backfoot earlier in the year, they mined massive swaths of eastern Ukraine before partially retreating.

Which makes it unlikely for Russia to actually have any future forward progress, but it also stymies Ukraine from doing the same except extremely slowly. There’s still been several victories for Ukraine over the past few months, but they haven’t changed the fighting area much.

It’s largely a war of attrition to wear down Russia now, who has been having more and more internal issues as time goes on.
