Not just Palestinians, innocent Israelis are going to die from these decisions. I was following the judiciary saga in Israel a little, and I hope Israelis will eventually win the fight against this tyrant wannabe.

Exactly, what did they think they'll achieve but even more resentment and hate?

Welp, whatever goodwill and sympathy I had for Israel just went poof. Less than 24 hours too, gotta be a record for them.

Good gods I see you also have to put up with Asian phishing scams too. I see they're extending their reach.

I've had a game refunded at 3 weeks even, but it was under 1 hour of play time.

Yay! Love Steam Next Fest. Just need to find some time to try the demos.

Demo CDs are just a delivery mechanism, and I consider this way better.

Now the practice of giving a demo for a game, that does need to return.

Xiaomi is probably the least affiliated of the lot, and they still offer a bootloader unlocking tool. Huawei on the other hand...

I don't like how the knee-jerk reaction to anything China-made is, but I guess the Chinese aren't helping themselves.

Don't use Xiaomi apps if there are alternatives. The browser is one of the most annoying POS ever. The launcher too. I just swap out as many of the defaults as possible and use a debloater tool to remove all the unnecessary crud. Unlike Samsung's bloat, the Xiaomi ones are annoying too.

Oh that's pretty nifty. I assume it's not used as much because it's more expensive to implement?

Might as well cite Singapore, but we also have our negatives. I wouldn't be so quick to jump to private/public as the main source of education problems.

Only if they have some sensible pricing to go along with it.

Yea, I do it less for privacy reasons, and more for tidiness. Tracking parameters can be so unwieldly nowadays. Something that's 30-40 characters long can balloon to 200-300 characters.

What's KMK and what's the advantage of it over QMK?

It's a tough situation, but much of our progress has been on this ponzi population scheme, and it's just not sustainable any more. A population that's a pyramid (ie significantly more young than old) is an ever-growing one, and currently we're pushing the limits of sustainability as it is.

I do believe that a complete overhaul is in order, not just infrastructure, but how our economies and societies work.

Didn't work that well; in the end, it's the same like any other country: Increased education and rising affluence.

People generally don't care (I myself am not at the level of this community). It also involves enough technical know-how that most people won't care. It's like asking people to use a CLI, not going to happen. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few people who still C&P URLs to share, most people hit a "Share" button.

1. Do you like to send greetings and images like these on special days, or even just the mornings: https://www.asiaone.com/digital/have-some-boomer-friendly-hygiene-tips-share-family-group-chats-courtesy-lifebuoy
2. Do you feel compelled to spread news on alarming incidents without verification? Especially related to health and safety? Like someone said that eating blueberries can lead to increased cancaer risk, so OMG my kids and their friends like blueberry muffins, I need to spread the word!
3. Do you feel a need to report on anything that has happened to you, or people around you (especially bad things that happened to people around you)?

If you answer yes to them, congrats, you're a boomer!

A lot of point-and-click adventure games do feature female protaganists. One that comes to mind that's not bee mentioned so far is Kathy Rain.

I really should play the first one, but lately I've realised first-person puzzlers have a higher chance of giving me motion sickness, so... :S
