3. Stop Killing Games (www.stopkillinggames.com)

"停止扼杀游戏"运动概要

核心诉求: 游戏发行商在结束运营支持后,永久性地破坏已售游戏,使其无法游玩。该运动要求立法终止此做法。

运动背景

  • 问题本质: 越来越多的游戏被设计为必须连接中央服务器才能运行(即使是单人内容)。服务器关闭后,游戏将彻底被摧毁。
  • 运动性质: 一个由玩家、消费者权益倡导者和开发者组成的全球联盟,正通过正式请愿、集体诉讼和与全球立法者沟通等方式,争取国际法律保护。

核心论点

  1. 文化遗产保护: 游戏是艺术,对社会影响深远。故意使其无法游玩是对文化遗产的破坏。
  2. 消费者权益: 购买的游戏应归消费者所有,不应附带由企业利润决定的“人工有效期”。
  3. 法律行动: 运动不止于抱怨,正在欧盟、美国等地组织法律挑战,以强制执行现有法律。

运动进展与参与

  • 全球影响力: 拥有超过0M+全球支持者,收集了超过0M+请愿签名,并在多个国家启动了超过0项正式立法调查。
  • 参与途径: 公众可通过加入Discord、访问Reddit社区(r/StopKillingGames)等方式获取信息、组织行动并扩大影响力。

核心领导团队

运动由一个去中心化团队领导,在全球多个司法管辖区开展工作:

  • 罗斯·斯科特(美国): 创始人兼公众代表,发起此全球倡议。
  • 莫里茨·卡茨纳(德国): 欧洲事务及美国顾问总经理,负责全球政治与机构战略。
  • 约纳·戈德曼(美国): 美国倡导与社区参与总监,负责美国境内的倡导和立法者联络。
  • 克莱门斯·伊斯特尔(奥地利): “能否运行?”项目负责人,该项目是运动在实体保存方面的组成部分。

最后更新: 组织章程将在相关法律实体正式确定后公开。

6. Baba Is Eval (fi-le.net)

Baba is You is a sokoban puzzle game where the rules themselves have to be manipulated to win. (For the uninitiated, the store page should explain the idea best.) The level of abstraction required to solve most levels makes it a formidable reasoning benchmark, with many reasoning steps being completely orthogonal to other tasks out there. The game is turn-based, meaning the number of turns required to solve a level naturally serves as a more fine-grained metric beyond accuracy....

GitHub Archive logs every public commit, even the ones developers try to delete. Force pushes often cover up mistakes like leaked credentials by rewriting Git history. GitHub keeps these dangling commits, from what we can tell, forever. In the archive, they show up as “zero-commit” PushEvents.

24. Whole-genome ancestry of an Old Kingdom Egyptian (www.nature.com)

Ancient Egyptian society flourished for millennia, reaching its peak during the Dynastic Period (approximately 3150–30 bce). However, owing to poor DNA preservation, questions about regional interconnectivity over time have not been addressed because whole-genome sequencing has not yet been possible. Here we sequenced a 2× coverage whole genome from an adult male Egyptian excavated at Nuwayrat (Nuerat, نويرات). Radiocarbon dated to 2855–2570 cal. bce, he lived a few centuries after Egyptian unification, bridging the Early Dynastic and Old Kingdom periods. The body was interred in a ceramic pot within a rock-cut tomb1, potentially contributing to the DNA preservation. Most of his genome is best represented by North African Neolithic ancestry, among available sources at present. Yet approximately 20% of his genetic ancestry can be traced to genomes representing the eastern Fertile Crescent, including Mesopotamia and surrounding regions. This genetic affinity is similar to the ancestry appearing in Anatolia and the Levant during the Neolithic and Bronze Age2–5. Although more genomes are needed to fully understand the genomic diversity of early Egyptians, our results indicate that contacts between Egypt and the eastern Fertile Crescent were not limited to objects and imagery (such as domesticated animals and plants, as well as writing systems)6–9 but also encompassed human migration. Whole-genome sequencing of an ancient male Egyptian revealed a mixture of North African Neolithic and eastern Fertile Crescent ancestry, suggesting human migration between Egypt and Mesopotamia by the Old Kingdom period.
