As a linux noob, I am developing the spider sense of telling when a solution is something reliable and when it's something that will fuck me up 3 months down the line.

It's been... Interesting. I still haven't figured out what's the sane way to have multiple CUDA coexist peacefully...

You have to try the matrix mod.

And yet he managed to stay more relevant to the discussion than you or me!

It's insanely good, most things from him are great but I think this one may be my favourite.

There's a spectrum, but if I were to map all and every dark pattern, random loot surely qualifies.

If a fight is compelling it has its own reward, random drop chances (especially abysmal drop-rate) will have you mindlessly repeating it no matter the quality of the boss design.

With the free services? I may have to look back into it I thought I capped them at around 20 each. I mean active though.

The best thing about Yakuza is that it welcomes many different approaches so you can go have crazy absurd fun, intense cinematic story driven drama, mindless collectible and challenges...

I think it's perfect to rediscover what fun in videogame is.

I have capped the whole 3 services :|

If it was framed as a measure against possible government coordinated infiltration, sure. But that's not the case.

Proton acquired Simplelogin (or partnered?) so it's one and the same. There's a chance you may be able to get more aliases by using both the simplelogin and the proton accounts though...

Firefox Relay is another free email alias generator.

Privacy badger is not longer needed IIRC, its role is taken care by uBlock.

Framed in this way (assuming a population completely corrupted by propaganda) it becomes a matter of responsibility, not unlike what we already faced in germany.

I believe the proper course of action, in this instance and for posterity alike, is focusing and who is knowingly engaging in propaganda, and not who is being fed a false narrative.

It's a broad answer and it leaves very little room for proportionate retaliation, but it's the only approach, I believe, that foster progress and rightfully frame the issue of division and conflict in a tangible cause and effect dialectic.

If we now say, "Russian has let themselves be convinced to behave like monsters, therefore we must tread them as ones", all future wars can and will be framed in this way. If we focus and the root causes, if we condemn manipulation of information, uneven education as among the greatest, most unacceptable, criminal act, I can see a world where at the very least, if you behave like a monster that's out of your own "disposition".

Let me go back to the root of your ever shifting discussion:

Russia represent Russian citizens the same way the US represent US citizens.

Yes and that is not very much.

I'm not sure where and why you started going on about my personal hypocrisy toward the application of santions as the best strategy to counter Russian expansionism or how much it is agreeable as something to apply to the whole of the population.

I never said I'm willing to give up everything...

Anyway, your "arguments" boil down to a shifting grey area between, "they deserve it" and a very dispassionate "there's no alternative".

It's simplistic and dangerous. I hope you are young.

Have a day.

That's just the misanthropy leaking...

No I don't think I would. Other than my ignorance about the facts themselves, there's the issue that I don't have a precise definition of genocide in mind.

I'd probably have the best chance by saying 0 and hoping the definition of Genocide is so narrow it doesn't really apply to shit.

And I'd give me a 30% chance.

Tangent asides, I am under no impression that the Russian Oligarchy now, the Zar before, the URRS in between, has excerted power in oppressive way just like any other country has done and stopped doing only in the face of new ways to accrue power.

And because in all those instances, from China, to the USA, to all of Europe, through history, people were pushed and pulled into believing all sort of crazy stuff, such as "the others" being inferior, evil, a threat or all of the above, I doesn't really tell me much that the polupation that is subjected to a long lasting propaganda apparatus is affected by such propaganda.

I go as far as doubting I would be able to see past it if myself I was born in that situation.
