"The reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes."

I love my favorite games and have been playing them for years, but I disliked about 99% of the games I played.

I don't think I have FoMO or anything; I just find it weird because my taste in music, film, or art/media in general is usually fairly broad. I guess I just wonder why my taste in games is aggressively limited.

It's not for the lack of trying new games; I've tried more or less anything I could find, sometimes because it's popular, other times because it looked interesting, but nothing really hits the mark like my favorite games.

I just don't like what most developers create, I guess?

I'm hoping, by posting this, maybe I can find others who are having a similar experience, and we can share thoughts.

The Japanese government is backing a new and highly ambitious plan to purge online anime and manga piracy using artificial intelligence, recently announcing a new AI project worth two million dollars.

NHK reports that the Japanese government's Agency for Cultural Affairs is building an AI detection system to more effectively counter the rise of anime and manga piracy sites, allocating 300 million yen (~US$2 million) in this year's supplementary budget proposal. The system will detect images online by having the AI learn information such as the 'layout and advertisements of pirated sites' and 'images of content provided by publishers,' allowing 'rights holders to smoothly apply for the removal of detected content.'

The Japanese government's new AI tracker would follow other anti-piracy efforts, such as WEBTOON's bespoke Toon Radar technology. This embeds invisible information into webtoons to identify the source of leaks. The company has stressed its "zero-tolerance" approach to piracy, regularly filing subpoenas, recently suing a suspected two individuals for $700k, and announcing this week that it was responsible for closing 70 piracy sites worth 1.2 billion annual visits.

Summary

Short bursts of vigorous activity throughout the day can significantly reduce heart disease risk, especially for women.

The study found that women who engaged in under 3.5 minutes of vigorous movement daily had a 45% lower risk of heart problems compared to those who did not.

Men also saw benefits, with a 16% reduction in risk for those who logged about 5.5 minutes of vigorous activity daily.

Hey all,

Recently I've been trying to work on purchasing more products made here in Canada as opposed to down south or overseas, reason being to help decrease my environmental footprint, as well as to keep my money supporting businesses based in Canada, especially with the tariffs that might be coming in the near future.

I was curious if there were some good tips to help find products made within our borders. Some stuff has been easy, like swapping from Silk to Earth's Own for example due to labeling on the package that states where the product was manufactured, but other stuff is a bit of a pain since it doesn't seem to indicate where the product is manufactured or at the very least if it was imported, just where the company's head office is located.

While my main concern is with groceries since I've been trying to purchase more second-hand as of late, I was curious as to what some good all-around tips are for finding Canadian products. I'm willing to spend a little more if needed, I prefer to bank my money in my morals and not in convenience.
