All lemm.ee users well know that the inferior Asiatic brainpan could never discern a pile of shit from an ice cream cone.

I was involved with an Indie game that was priced at roughly $15. It literally sold for 10 cents in those regions with Steam's recommended pricing, mainly due to the accelerating inflation, and within hours of release, 20% of the sales came from these regions because of people abusing VPN. The pricing was quickly adjusted before that percentage could grow any larger.

When people can just get a freshly released game at a 99.5% discount, you might as well not sell the game at all in those regions.

Relatively speaking, games already were practically free in those countries to begin with, so it's not like piracy would make a difference to the vendors.

A) necessary for stopping the butchering of palestinians,

B) had any chance of stopping the butchering of palestinians in general, as opposed to giving israel the perfect excuse to start carpet bombing with no restraint

This implies that you have proof that the killing of kids was intentional (IF it even happened, there's still no concrete evidence for that yet either).

Do you have proof?

Because saying "killing kids is bad" will not convince me that Hamas is actually doing this.

It's just gonna pollute the internet with even more bullshit. Language models don't really understand topics, they just put together words that are likely to appear with each other. Biases are inherent to this design.

Well, at least in terms of information security a lot of progress was made, you just don't tend to hear anything about that. I'd say the 2010s was the time where all that was being put into place, actually.

That exciting early 2000s Internet was unbelievably shitty. Nearly every widely-used protocol was easily exploitable or had massive flaws, hardly any encryption being in place, bad password practices and very little security-awareness among users, very widespread malware, etc.

There's definitely a lot of answers that are looking for a question out there, with lots of corporate greed in play, but I don't think it's quite as grim as you make it out to be.

"We have experienced, that rational decisions, rational measures, which one takes between civilized governments, can not end this war."

If the following is what Germany considers "rational decisions":

  • Refusing to support negotiations
  • Deindustrializing your own country
  • Letting the Americans take advantage of you economically
  • Shutting down nuclear power plants in the face of an energy crisis
  • Arming groups that openly and proudly display Nazi symbols
  • Pushing unpopular domestic policies that drive voters to the AfD

Then I'd hate to see what they consider irrational decisions.

If you don't want to be informed, fine. Nobody's forcing you to use a different browser either.
