@macberg Stop procrastinating! The weekend is when shit gets done. Have a plan, it helps!
Here it is around 08:00 right now and I'm about to go outside to tend to the garden and mow the lawn, before it gets too hot later today (37C). Afterward I plan to come back inside and repaint the ceiling of the dining room.
After lunch I'm going to work on redoing my Linux VM environment bridge networking as something broke it recently, probably moving the network adapter to a different USB port caused it is my guess.
In the evening I'm going to listen to records and work on #GamePreservation, dumping some obscure CDs, submitting to #Redump and uploading them to the Internet Archive!

@wariat yeah the esigning problems is happen for a lot of users... manually entering the info has worked for some people... if that does not work for you please try out using the app they recommend just in case... ALL VOTES COUNT
Fantastica notizia!
L'iniziativa europea Stop Destroying Videogames ha al momento raggiunto 1.085.105 firme!
Un sentito ringraziamento a tutti coloro che la hanno supportata. È stupendo vedere che se non si rimane indifferenti fare la differenza dal basso è possibile
P.S. in ogni caso è bene continuare a firmare se non l'avete fatto. Diamogli un buon margine
the EU initiative has now passed 1 000 000 signs... now we are into the overdrive section where we want more votes to make sure any incorrect or false votes don't bring down the initiative... the EU page seems to be having issues by hug of death of people wanting to sign it so it 404s a bit... keep signing and keep supporting and sharing it :D
Have you already signed the #EU petition #StopKillingGames? If not, do it right now! There is not much time left.
https://www.stopkillinggames.com/
The petition seeks to enable customers to play their video games even after official publisher/developer support has ended, preventing the destruction of important cultural goods.
Direct link to the petition: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
Ne avete abbastanza delle software house che cessano di supportare i vostri videogiochi preferiti dall'oggi al domani?
Pensate che sia un vostro diritto continuare a giocare ai videogiochi che avete acquistato e supportato?
Pensate che i videogiochi siano arte e che debbano essere preservati.
Allora date un'occhiata a questa iniziativa europea e fatevi sentire.
Firmare è semplice e non costa nulla
the eu initiative is now in the last burst for 100k new votes/signs and we need a total of only 159 votes an hour to pass the minimum signs/votes
reminder that we need a buffer of at least a few thousand votes to make sure it passes incase there are false or incorrect votes
sign here if you are an EU citizen:
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/702074/
the UK petition just passed the 100k needed signs.. still keep signing it if you are from the uk to cover any false or incorrectly signed votes/signs
stop killing games initiative is now down to only needing: 260 votes an hour
for the EU initiative to pass... if you are an EU citizen or know some shadow recommends contacting them and signing it the initiative here:
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
the uk petition is down to needing: 6 signs an hour
to pass and get looked at in the uk... to sign that if you are an uk citizen:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/702074/
this is a lifeline for us to be able to play the games we love in the future without any new games dying.. it can't fully apply retroactively so games already released might still die.. still this is our last bet to change bad consumer practices from game creators... shadow would absolutely love to be able to play all their games far into the future and is therefor also supporting gog.com for their drm free games!!!
My fellow Europeans, there is one month left to sign the Stop Killing Games initiative:
https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en
It has already reached the threshold in 17 countries, and only needs 180,000 more signatures to force the @EUCommission to formally consider it. If it passes, it will compel game publishers to take measures to ensure people can continue to play their games even after support ends.
Animaniacs: Hollywood Hypnotics was once considered entirely lost to time, but looks like a near final version of it was found by Hidden Palace.
We're losing gaming history
