Would you steal the font for a campaign "You wouldn't steal a car"?
Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language ( bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/… )
She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded ( web.archive.org/web/2005122320… ).

Among other things, the company collects data about when you start a #game, for how long you play it and when you close it. Even after the complainant explicitly asked why he is forced to be #online, Ubisoft failed to disclose why this is going on. Under Article 6(1) #GDPR, there seems to be no valid legal basis to randomly collect such user data.

Die Werbeerlöse sind kein Segen. Es ist ein Schwindel.
Die #Erlöse, wenn sie fest verplant werden, machen die #Stadt nämlich von den #Trends der #Werbeindustrie und auch von den konkreten Partnern abhängig.
Wie das?
1. die #Einnahmen können schwanken* und sind von #Markt-Trends abhängig, somit hängt die Stadt in dem Wettlauf um immer aggressivere #Werbung mit drin -
2. Entscheidungsspielräume verengen sich durch die langen Vertragslaufzeiten, die die Stadtgestaltung über mehrere #Legislatur-Perioden festlegen.
Das ist ein ernstzunehmendes #Governance / #Demokratiedefizit-#Problem.

Why do we still need #people?
* To elect the government in a supposed democracy. Well manipulated with fear and fake news, of course.
* As a consumer in capitalism, to buy unnecessary cheap products at a high price. Preferably virtual products that can be scaled up at will without production costs and still generate real profit.
* To train the AI models and to generate training data for these models.
* As modern-day slaves to serve the financial elite and provide a comfortable life for them.
* As cannon fodder for wars.
* As guinea pigs for pharma tests.
* To write silly posts,comments and as followers for influencers.

Two tiny, remote #Antarctic outposts populated by penguins and #seals are among the obscure places targeted by the Trump #administration's new tariffs.
The penguins are understandably pissed off.
It's hard to say who is the craziest head of state with all the crazy politicians in the world.
