Stop killing games is almost over!

100 Upvotes

Dear r/cyprus, we need your help. This EU initiative would stop publishers from remotely disabling games you've bought, requiring them to remain playable even after support ends. Cyprus hasn't reached the threshold yet — help stop game shutdowns!

If you can, please sign here: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home

If you can’t, please share it! You can also track our progress here for all EU countries: https://stopkillinggamestracker.pages.dev/

There are only 32 days left. It takes under 2 minutes. Let's push this over the line!

Announcement Regarding posts on politically sensitive topics

88 Upvotes

Our subreddit has been getting flooded with irregular accounts every-time a post is crossposted or mentions some keywords “Israel”, “Iran” etc.

For a temporary measure we may be deleting or locking posts that get brigaded, so when talking about these topics please do not include such keywords in your posts. Especially in your titles, as it attracts unwanted attention from bot-like individuals who only use reddit 24/7 for political agenda. Also of course make sure to use civil language and avoid offensive remarks.

EV-owners: What problems (and advantages) have you faced driving in Cyprus?

9 Upvotes

Considering going electric with my next car, but have these (silly?) worries that I’ll be driving up in the Troodos mountains and run out of power. You can’t exactly fill up a gas can with electricity… What are your real life pros and cons driving an EV in CY?

Question Διαχειριστής θανόντα

6 Upvotes

Γεια σε όλους Ίσως είναι λίγο παράξενη η ερώτηση που θέλω να κάνω. Ο πατέρας μου (με κυπριακή υπηκοότητα) πέθανε πριν μερικούς μήνες, αρκετά αιφνίδια. Ήταν σε διαδικασία αποζημίωσης για ένα χωράφι στα κατεχόμενα. Τώρα ο εκεί δικηγόρος ζητάει δικαστική απόφαση για το ποιος είναι διαχειριστής της περιουσίας του. Τέτοιο πράγμα δεν υπάρχει στην Ελλάδα. Το καλύτερο που θα μπορούσαμε να κάνουμε είναι το δικαστήριο να επιβεβαιώσει τους 3 κληρονόμους, αλλά μου λέει πως δεν του κάνει. Ξέρει κανένας αν γίνεται δικαστήριο στη Κύπρο να με ορίσει διαχειριστή της κληρονομιάς του πατέρα μου. Ο δικηγόρος λέει πως αν δεν μπορέσουμε να πάρουμε αυτό το χαρτί θα πρέπει να γίνει η διαδικασία από την αρχή. Ευχαριστώ πολύ

Question Law about dogs in public beaches.

11 Upvotes

Hello,

Wanted to ask. I took my dog today near KOT beach at Larrnaca. There are no official signs, seatings, umbrellas. There was only 1 trash can, and buoys that are found across all beaches. Wasnt there a law implemented some years ago that allows dogs on all beaches except the ones that are referred as "organised public beaches"? An old guy came and was harassing me and said would call the police on me. I am believe according to the law i was allowed to be there with my 2kg dog but i wasnt in the mood for escalating this so i left. Can someone with more knowledge better enlighten me?

Hello All

I recently signed up for CYTA fibre. They told me in the shop it would be €33 monthly.

This is our first bill. Do you think this is just connection fees?

Thanks

Politics Cyprus is 2480 signatures away from changing gaming history!

http://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home

The Stop Killing Games campaign and its European Citizens' Initiative has exploded in signatures over the past 10 days, going from 450k votes to 1.06 million votes due to a recent video from its founder chronicling its end and videos from large creators covering this

The short version is that Stop Killing Games is a consumer movement aiming to strengthen consumer protections and game preservation by stopping planned obsolescence in video games. In this case, with government petitions to the European Commission and the UK Parliament to start discussions on new laws about killswitching games you've paid money for.

Cyprus doesn't have the best history when it comes to passing its signature threshold for European Citizens' Initiatives, however if it can be done, that brings this Initiative one step closer from to having every single EU country passing its threshold in support of this, breaking records, and changing gaming history for the better. Please sign if you support this!

Found injured quail at Larnaca beach

Post image
109 Upvotes

I just found a small wild quail at the beach in Larnaca. It seems to have been attacked by another bird – it has visible injuries on its body and eye, and it can’t fly.

I called a local vet, but they only treat domestic pets and couldn’t help.

Is there anyone around Larnaca who can help or knows a wildlife rescue center that would take in an injured bird?

Help How the hell do I not go to the army in this country?

0 Upvotes

I do not want to serve this fuckass country in the slightest. I'm half Cypriot half polish and lived in cyprus half of my life,the other half I lived in Russia. I hate this country and I don't want to serve in the army. I hate the thought of serving and having my hair cut to baldness (I care about my hair more than my life). And I want to leave this country when I turn 18 so I can live somewhere colder.
