I don't think GDPR is an issue here. This is just companies providing a consistent export format for existing data.
I can only think of two possible GDPR issues that should be easy to deal with.
1) If they start using this format to share data without permission. Clear violation. Don't do that, you're breaking the law.
2) If somehow the format of the data forces a violation of the requirement to keep data pseudonymous. Should be easily avoidable.
I also played Quake quite a bit until I migrated to Unreal Tournament. As much as I hate the fact that UT is being redone with the same name as the original, it does seem to be recapturing a lot of the old feel with a modern game.
It's still early alpha, but I've found it rather enjoyable so far.

This isn't about app curation or walled gardens.
For a long time Google has been removing apps from the app store, flagging developer accounts, and in some cases killing entire developer accounts.
The process has been completely one sided with small developers having little recourse and very little understanding as to why their app was banned. They're only recourse was to guess as to what was wrong, make a change to the app, and upload it under a new id (losing all the comments, ratings, history, users) of the app. This all at the risk they they were wrong about why the app was banned in which case it would just get banned again bringing them closer to having their developer account shut down.
This appears to be a move to help those developers, who have been really screaming about this for some time. I hope that's what this is.
Not only that but this isn't even a real win for women. It is very likely to enforce the impression (real or imagined) that men are a more valuable worker and enable glass ceiling type behavior during promotional considerations.
I think the other possibility is just as fascinating, and possibly more impactful. The idea that all quantum states are related, even when not entangled. I'm certainly not a quantum physicist, but that seems like it would open amazing possibilities.

You're so right. Because all the worst slums are filled with people who have all their basic needs met and no longer have a need to work. It's certainly not the case that those people have a distinct lack of the basic essentials for a stable life.
People don't need work. People need food, water, education, freedom... Work is generally a means to get the needs, not a need in of itself.

The greatest thing we can do for society would be to eliminate the need for jobs. While it may sound cruel (and probably would have some transitional issues) striving to put everybody out of a job is a vastly noble endeavor.
It would be amazing what we could do if we were free to do anything or nothing at all.
We already have a close proxy to this with the gas tax. The weight of a vehicle is a large determinator of it's fuel efficiency. I have a mini-van (that probably weighs closer to an SUV than a small car) but it's rarely driven. It certainly doesn't cause 16x the road wear that my small car does as it's not driven nearly as often. My motorcycle gets the most milage put on it as that is my commute vehicle.
That's pretty much what the judge said, however his logic is highly suspect. In order to say it was a public performance he basically said because people are part of the public it is public. From the ruling.
Customers watching one of Plaintiffs’ Copyrighted Works on their computer through Zediva’s system are not necessarily watching it in a “public place,” but those customers are nonetheless members of “the public.”.... The non-public nature of the place of the performance has no bearing on whether or not those who enjoy the performance constitute “the public” under the transmit clause.
So watching a movie in the privacy of your own home is now a public performance.
Your information on grenades is a bit outdated.
Old style 'pineapple' grenades throw off significant fragmentation.
Most modern 'frag' grenades (at least those used by military) have a much higher explosive payload and vaporize most of the outer shell on detonation. It's the concussion wave that the primary lethal force. There are some fragments, but they are not likely to kill anybody, just wound.
Scathing critiques, building of allies and preparation for WAR!!!11!1!!
Because 'Scientists question results of experiment, suggest other possible conclusions and additional tests' doesn't pull enough eyeballs? And we all know there's nothing we need more than over the top sensationalism in the news.
Maybe you missed my reply other reply with a quote from Linus about android. I don't claim to speak for Linus, but I would expect that if he had such a problem with it he might say so when asked directly.
Linus said... patrick/brabadu: I don't worry about out-of-tree development for odd devices too much. I wish we could merge android, but I also accept it likely being a few years away. We had similar out-of-tree issues with the SGI extreme scalability stuff, and it took quite a while before the standard kernel merged all of that.
BTW from that same post when asked about the android kernel development:
"Linus said...

That is from 2003. It certainly doesn't seem to be Linus complaining about Android. And, I think, that is the point. However Google has been behaving itself it has done so with minimal backlash (there has been some for certain actions, but those have generally been resolved peaceably).
In fact Linus seems to be pretty OK with Android. http://torvalds-family.blogspot.com/2010/02/happy-camper.html
Yay, with this 'newfound' knowledge all we need to do is build some space elevators, push enough mass far enough out to slow the earths rotation to be evenly divided by it's rotation around the sun, and we can get rid of all the crazy leap day rules. Make computer time actually doable in a real way.
From what I've read (Google finds some stuff) infrasonic vibrations cause feelings of fear and 'of being watched'. They can also affect vision to cause blurs or 'ghostly images'.
I don't have any direct experience, but it's been the explanation that seems to make the most sense to me.

I'm surprised this is a new feature for the Home. Although it's not fool proof. It recognizes my older son as me most of the time.

With minecraft try out the Computer Craft mod. Gives you programmable computers and 'turtle' robots.
