I saw that there’s now a mobile version of Roller Coaster Tycoon (Roller Coaster Tycoon Touch) and I thought it might be fun (one of the Netflix bundled mobile games). A couple of hours of casual play in, it was clear that the game was carefully designed to make it progressively harder and harder to make progress without in-app purchases.

@EUCommission , if you want to actually make things safer online, how about making that kind of predatory practice illegal? Children are particularly vulnerable, but so are a lot of adults. No need for age verification, just an outright ban.

So sad to see a such a respected game series used for this kind of whale farming.

@wolf480pl @joshbressers @gregkh I don't think a negative externality has to affect *everyone*. We can argue about who are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd parties in this game, but in the end suboptimal vulnerability management (caused by arguably bullshit CVEs) definitely hurt the security of end users who don't have a say about which vendors their service provider choose (not that there are many orgs out there today who can run without Linux, so this demand is a bit unrealistic too).

@gregkh @joshbressers What you are describing is called a "negative externality".

Detailed report from DigiCert (thanks!) about "a limited number of code signing certificates, few of which were then used to sign malware".

At the beginning a ZIP file with a .scr executable, and some time later 60 revoked Code Signing certificates. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2033170

@tj there should be no API for this at all!

Can web developers stop fucking with scroll bars please? No website is so beautiful that it justifies losing the ability to see how far the page scrolls down. I don't give two shits about your design vision.
