The problem is that people switched to get their news from social media, and our adversaries are using that towards their advantage.

Yeah, there are games where side quests are just cookie cutter and all look the same and there are ones, where you won’t get full experience of the game unless you also do side quests and they can even affect game ending. Witcher 3 was such experience for me. If I would just storm through main quest, ignoring side quests I don’t think the game would leave as much of a lasting impression as it did.

Thanks, that explains it.

From people close the me, the ones that are MAGA/religious all were actually the most depraved ones when they were younger.

I don’t know if they think of they have to make it up for those years to still be able to get to heaven or something.

I’m Polish, I played it a while ago, and might be forgetting details, but I don’t remember those chants being in Polish.

What actually happened? I know nothing about it except the name. Why it is considered dead by others?

LOL I thought of Witcher too.

I read recently “On Freedom” by Timothy Snyder and he mentions that. Billionaires are sucking or wealth and when we suffer, we are told that this is temporary and toward a greater good (which never comes).

Sadly it is successful and a lot of Americans believe that.

It opened my eyes seeing how we are set up to fight each other (blaming minorities) while oligarchs are making our lives more miserable by hoarding country’s wealth.

Is there a way to switch UI without switching the server. I do not like the web UI, I got used to old Reddit + RES.

What is “No need YT ads” and the “Ctrl+P”?

Isn’t Ghostery made by an ads company?

Twitter is for narcissists, and when they say Mastodon is not as good as twitter they really mean that there’s not as many people watching them as on Twitter. So Bluesky gaining 500,000 new accounts could help in making it “better”.

Couldn’t that power be used to take control over Bitcoin chain?

Many of them don’t and they get their news from Facebook, YouTube and similar sources. Those are the least informed ones.

I agree what you wrote, but I have problem with this paragraph:

It doesn’t really matter to the US, we produce a ton of oil domestically and have been switching over our refineries to process it. Europe, China and India will be the ones to really feel the squeeze when Russian oil goes offline.

While it is true that US produces enough oil domestically to have enough for itself the price for oil is global.

US has option to of course close its exports and not be affected by it, but in the process it will lose its allies who will suffer even more by that (this sounds more like that trump would do, as it would piss off allies which we need and it could be sold internally as protecting Americans)

The other option would be to keep market open, but then the price hike would affect us but it would be smaller, because it would be shared among everyone.

It’s all a manufactured outrage. They supposedly buy these cars because “gas is cheap” and then they lament when gas goes few cents up.

BTW: the gas will likely go up when US will decide to put on the final squeeze on Russia. Currently Russia escapes sanctions by selling their oil through intermediaries. This is purposefully ignored right now to keep the oil prices low.

Well, given that they have access to Internet via starlink, all they would have to do is set up a website and list the IDs, then block everything that’s not there.

They got me shipment? Add them to the list? No longer own the device? Remove it.

Three streaming (like pointed in the other comment) was my initial reaction too, but indeed at the time https for streaming would be very rare.

Another possibility is to realize that openssl isn’t just for communication, but also has implementation of cryptographic algorithms.

Perhaps openssl was used for validation of licensing key? For example they could sign the license with their private key and WinAmp could verify it’s authenticity with its public key.

Captcha solver add-on? Had no idea about that. If a captcha can be solved this way, why is still being used? What’s the point?
