Oh, so that makes this article relevant.. I found this while sniffing around Israel's news.

Reading about this stuff on the Israeli lead news network KAN is... Interesting. When the complete eradication of Gazans is being talked about it's very blasé and never takes responsibility. For example, this report says Hamas are in fact the ones screwing up Gaza aid efforts, and this one richly claims that the IDF did not kill anyone at an aid site. The IDF alleges that they investigated themselves and found that they weren't guilty.

It's not the internet, it's all the checks Windows does with files and packages. Potentially these reasons: Constant verification of Discord's certificates, checking data downloaded for viruses, checking for updates, checking for your ownership of the client app etc. before giving you access.

By far the biggest issue with Windows' performance is its antivirus, known in the Task Manager and Resource Monitor as msmpeng.exe. Appreciated, but not wanted. Not when it slows many programs' opening or calculating performance and reads so many goddamn bytes on all your drives per second that it makes using Windows with a HDD impractical.

Their overbearing attempts to farm, control and fleece users for marketing data, DRM purposes and money, respectively, are the biggest issue with the company. It's classic corporate capitalism, to reduce the service quality while maintaining income, and to fuck over end users while protecting business interests. This is also connected to why gaming anti-cheat services don't work on Linux. For these reasons, pertaining to Microsoft, I'm out.

I have notifications disabled by default, by that I mean the moment an app requests permission I deny it, unless it's a messaging app, an app store that I want update notifications from or something I trust etc., and if it triggers more than three requests it's off my phone.

I was about to say - it's obvious but it's also necessary to tell the most accurate story whenever flawed narratives are being told - 20 were accidental and the other 199,980 were intentional

You know why I'm tired? Constantly thinking about these issues. I try to avoid it but I don't try hard enough. Hard to do anything when anything is tied to something I don't want to support.

I don't know if this was the one, but Greta Thunberg decided not to go on the ship last minute. They could've killed one of the greatest activists of this century.

Edit: It was.

Double edit: Wikipedia also mentions this.

But Skyblivion isn't released yet? What fake ass moneygrab are you playing ;)

Try Tidal, but if Spotify (lower bitrate) didn't work out, maybe YouTube Music?

Or, of course, flash your phone or buy a different one because there are a whole load of reasons not to buy a Pixel, least of which that it's weaker than other phones at its price point. This may be a factor in lag.

I was taught DD/MM/YY and that's what I use in typed form, but I prefer MM/DD/YYYY, at least in speech e.g. 'June 13th 2025'. It feels cleaner to narrow by month, then day, otherwise you're mentally having to wait for context, working backwards. The year is almost irrelevant as it changes so infrequently, about once a year.

ISO 8601 for organising on a computer, as sorting by largest to smallest is the most logical.

The irony is this violence is not from you. It spawned from Israel's own actions. And when will they learn that their actions have consequences

As long as there's no stupid pre-launcher aka ad platform. I can load CP77 with its exe directly, for now

How can it pass if it hasn't had lessons.. Well said. Ooh I wonder if lecture footage would be able to teach AI, or audio in from tutors..

As it happens, we are here to fuck spiders

Since Android 10 (LineageOS 17.1/OneUI 2.0) March 2019, and iOS 18 July 2024.

Or use the QR code share function on devices' WiFi settings. This is for Android 10 and later, or iOS 18 (lol) and later through the Passwords app. But this probably solves an extended list of use cases

Never forget the Nazi Party's regime of eradicating all minorities was inspired by the Europeans performing genocide on the indigenous people of what is now America. Of course, this is not exactly similar. The Israelites and Arabs have been quarreling ever since they existed. Over their fucking "holy land". Honestly it's like dragon sickness. Jews + Jerusalem = death and hostility to others.

Cool! It says the founder was inspired by how someone in Germany trained dogs to guide blinded WW1 veterans! In England they're called guide dogs because the first ones there came from an organization called Guide Dogs. Also they guide.

In German (and no doubt countless other languages) it is 'double v'. So to answer your question: The English language is flawed and for most people, it's too jarring to correct it
