I am aware of classifications and content descriptions. I'm not in US so the ESRB are not directly relevant but my local body does something similar.

I find the actual classifications to be a bit conservative so treat them all as advisory and make my own decisions. For example my son beat these (on easy) at four years old, I don't think we would have enjoyed them as much if we waited until fifteen:

On the other end of the scale I can use these descriptions to see that while Saints Row (2022) is tamer than GTA5 it is still going to have content thats a bit rough for an eight year old:

Parental controls are another question but I use then for time limits on his tablet and content restrictions on consoles and streaming services.

The way I have parental controls set up he has access to everything M or lower but MA15+ or higher requires a conversation.

They help inform my decisions but at the end of the day we are making our own choices within our household.

🎉

They put a lot of care into that announcement page and showing the major features visually. Great job!

Around 8 times a year.

I take my son to the barber and we have a haircut together.

If it was just myself I wouldn't notice when my hair was long but I can see it on him so I know when its time.

Great to see!

I tend to just use the betas for a quick smoke test to check my project still builds.

The RCs are generally stable enough to use as a daily driver. And if for some reason its not then now's the time to find those bugs before the release.

If you call yourself the Burger King in your kitchen, there's no trademark infringement there. However, if you start selling you food and calling yourself the Burger King, then that is a trademark violation. If you want to write Twilight fan fiction using the characters and story lines from the books, you're free to do so. There is no copyright violation. However, if you want to profit from your expansions to another author's work, you have to rename the characters and setting and call it "Fifty shades of grey".

I believe in must jurisdictions its the distribution that makes it an issue not the selling. If you started handing out your "Burger King" burgers in a public place I would expect to be shut down.

Its Trademark Law in Australia.

For example Cadbury has a trademark protecting its purple (defined as pantone 2685C) from competitors in the chocolate industry. On the other hand Whiskas has one protecting its purple (defined as CMYK {40% C, 100% M) from competitors in the cat food industry.

Because its trademark law both only cover their specific industries (so purple would be fair game for a business in another field), but despite the precise definitions used for the colours they would be able to argue that a competitor using a similar purple could cause confusion in consumers, (so they effectively block out an area of the color spectrum).

I believe its production budget was pegged at between $250m and $350m.

So this particular item in the marketing budget is less than 1% of the development costs.

I don't think the maths checks out

If in doubt I recommend looking at either Wikipedia or github for canonical links.

Revanced isn't big enough for a Wikipedia page but there github profile links to the official pages:

a condition with scab formation?

Ask them if unsure but my guess is they mean conditions like Haemophilia.

Also don't rely on their screening. I believe the test a performed on bundles of donations for efficiency and a bad donation may cause the others in that bundle to be discarded too.

I'm reading the 2015 Howard the Duck and it looks like it had companion content available on a now defunct mobile app.

What the content ripped and archived anywhere?

 

The Australian Government has announced changes to the way video games are classified in Australia. Starting from September 22nd, 2024, two new rules will apply to games that include “in-game purchases with an element of chance,” such as loot boxes [now M], and games that feature “simulated gambling,” like casino games [now R18+].

The spoiler syntax is supported when editing but fails to render when viewing.

Example (spoiler alert I suppose!):

Personally I have held back from discussing details of current films because spoiler masking isn't guaranteed and I don't want to ruin anyone's experience. If Boost can add this then we are one step closer to a perfect world.
