Well, that's crazy

- Only social media are banned
- Games were excluded
- Messengers were excluded

Initially the government unironically wanted to ban messengers, most of the games and their stores as well.

1500+ packages were compromised by coordinated attack. Again, to be completely clear, this just is affecting AUR packages and not the official Arch Linux packages.

Remember I recommended you We Happy Few during the whole previous week, since it was notoriously well written?

Well, the studio behind it is reportedly being closed. No official confirmation yet but South of Midnight was equally creative but didn't get enough sales. And it's not enough to make three games in 15 years.

The company is still making their next game, but Kotaku and Insider-Gaming reported that employees believe that closure "is just a matter of time".

Two months ago they were posting job openings, then last week several employees set green badges on LN.

The flagship Paris office of Don't Nod (Remember Me, Life is Strange, Vampyr, Banishers) is running out of funds. They will not have any money by November of 2026 and desperately looking for a publishing deal. Their biggest shareholder Tencent refused to cooperate further.

Semi-independent office in Montreal is a different entity sponsored by Netflix. Their partnership continues regardless.

Well, one of the Sea of Thieves leads, who took a serious role to maintain the whole portfolio, is stepping down before major layoffs. I assume, he doesn't want to be associated with whatever happens next.

Arkane, Double Fine, and Ninja Theory were added to the list for closure in addition to Compulsion Games. They all apparently negotiate independence from XBOX.

They may at best be left without their IPs but with core teams on their own. Even as independent entities they will have to run through significant layoffs.

Linux improves the RISC-V and MIPS architectures support in 7.1 and the work continues.

Canonical also woke up and discussed several improvements to make RISC more friendly for big clients and grids of servers via RVA23 that supports Hypervisor and Vectors.

The request to add Russian to Fable is now the 6th most popular post on Microsoft Feedback Portal. Original Fable games were truly popular in the region (thanks to satire and freedom of choice)

Google and University of San Diego are trying to make the first major data center out of ~2000 used Pixel phones.

They are most often simply dumped without a proper recycling. And they consume a very limited amount of power thanks to ARM processors. Which may allow universities and medium-sized businesses around the world to compute on a budget.
