I'm not petty enough to give up on their free games. I just claim them in the browser to avoid dealing with their launcher.

But it's important to note that, if their UX is so terrible that people avoid their launcher like the plague, they get fewer chances to tempt users into buying anything. If the sales are low, most developers won't even bother listing their games on EGS. It's a death spiral.

I find EGS launcher to be incredibly slow, so I don't even bother claiming their free games using it. I use the browser instead. The annoying part is EGS launcher will prompt my 2FA if I don't open it at least monthly, which is also too much of a bother.

My guess is that they believe leaving the Hamas alive is equivalent to allowing their territory be attacked again in the future. They want this war to be The Last One™ so thay don't have to further spend military resourses in the future doing the same thing again.

The article doesn't even show an example of a finished Frankenstein laptop. 😑

Interesting... That's exactly Trump's discourse from 2020 when he refused to admit defeat to Biden. Back then this attitude was parroted as "a threat to democracy". Now, in 2025, it's fair game saying his government is illegitimate?

Hamas' School of Human Shields is quickly producing new graduates, it seems...

Sorry, English is not my first language. What I meant is that some may see him as wacky and irreverent.

What I see is Elon haters clinging to this salute as if it's the one silver bullet that will somehow make him lose Trump's or the Republicans' support. But their insistence on this is like preaching to the choir, as right-wingers simply don't care—some even like Elon more for being gutsy.

If that's all they've got on Elon, then he's sure to keep his job at DOGE. And Trump is laughing all the way to the bank, as the anti-Elon sentiment shields him from criticism, as social media's attention is mostly spent on Elon instead of Trump.

People voted for this "dismantling". If you ask, Trump voters seem pretty satisfied on this regard.

Elon and Trump's actions are indeed more nationalist, but we should not confuse it with nazism, that had nationalism as one of its traits but was much more than that. The genocidal part is what makes them evil, not the nationalism part.

If we take seriously the notion that nationalism = nazism, then China would qualify.

People will see what they want to see. Even if Elon discovered the cure to all types of cancer, people would still nitpick anything about him to justify their hate.

He bent his whole body to give a salute. It was quite off-center and awkward, not really like the nazi salute as seen on historical videos of Hitler, which is a much more deliberate and aligned hand motion in relation to the body. If Elon time traveled to Hitler rallies and did this salute, he'd be reprimanded for doing it all wrong.

Yeah, because if he's indeed a nazi, he's pretty incompetent at converting people into nazism. Some politicians such as Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris have done a hand gesture that resembles the nazi salute in their political rallies, but nobody at the time screamed they were dog whistling nazi symbology. Raising one's hand to salute the audience is just a natural gesture, not some intricate gesture that's exclusive to a bonafide nazi apologist.

That's also hugely in part because Apple develops Webkit at a snails pace. Some say they gimp their own rendring engine so that it isn't competitive with native applications from the App Store. This way, there's less incentive for developers to make web-apps to avoid the 30% app store tax.

I use Firefox as my main browser on Android, and all apps that invoke a WebView do so using Firefox's rendering engine, with uBlock Origin and Dark Reader working seamlessly. So, maybe this info about Firefox for Android lacking WebView support is outdated?

Exemple after clicking a link on Twitter/X:

You never know what the political world has in store. Before Alexandre de Moraes, doing blatant preventive censorship was unthinkable. When he made this practice into the "new normal", he radicalized the right even more, and they might turn to dirty tricks to get to him.

Any flavor that would send Alexandre de Moraes to the jail cell, his rightful place.

Brazil's dictator-judge Alexandre de Moraes only had free reign last year to do what he did because the US used to have a living corpse as the president. Now, with Orange-Man-Bad as president, I don't know if the same judge would have the guts to block X nationwide again. Especially with Trump showing he's not afraid to impose tariffs on a whim. And it's also apparent that Trump hears what Elon has to say, and Elon is hungry for revenge. The judge only needs to step out of the line for Elon to retaliate.
