Unfortunately multiple sources seem to agree Dong Nguyen has no involvement, which is consistent with the way he originally shut down Flappy Bird due to people spending too much time on it :(

"The Flappy Bird Foundation said it has acquired the official Flappy Bird trademark from Gametech Holdings LLC, a U.S. company that appears to have wrestled the trademark from Nguyen, as well as the rights for the original game and character from Piou Piou vs. Cactus, the mobile game that supposedly originally inspired the Flappy Bird character."

And the trademarks were sleazily grabbed from the original creator :/

I think this news only affects Humble Games but not Humble Bundle, confusingly they are separate but semi-related businesses these days.

Google's dream of hijacking an open standard (on Android at least) is achieved :/

It's never a good sign when you have to say something like that...

Nerrrrrrd.

...I would say "What about SECAMworld?", but that definitely sounds like a nsfw cam models site.

"Wayland" doesn't support any GPU's, it's the job of each GPU driver to support Wayland (and Nvidia's now does).

So many capital letters in that headline, it reads like my grandma trying to figure out texting.

Police in the Indianapolis suburb of Carmel pulled Irsay over after observing a man in a Toyota Highlander driving slowly, stopping in the roadway and failing to use a turn signal.

Lol. Yeah police across the world are constantly pulling over Toyota Highlanders driving like a confused elderly lady merging on to an interstate, everyone knows that's the profile for a whiny jackass billionaire.

Yeah, I don't think a lot of people understand that RISC-V doesn't mean every RISC-V SoC is open. It's only the underlying architecture that's actually open.
