The only brain twisting I see here is you trying to sympathise with terrorist organisations. The Palestinian health organisation is controlled by Hamas. They regulary lie about many things, including casualties. Just look at the hospital “air strike” a few weeks back. It turned out to be Hamas’ own rockets that hit the parking lot. How many casualties did Palestine say it was? 500 on an near empty parking lot… I find it hard to believe, that the Hospital put 500 people on the lot. And if they did, where were the bloody corpses in the footage? There were probably casualties by that misfire. It was neither 500 casualties (probably closer to maybe 20), nor was the IDF responsible for that one.

Yes, there is a lot of suffering and I hope for a soon end to the conflict. But please, don’t blindly trust the Palestinian goverment like that. Neither do blindly trust Israel, either. Both sides can’t be fully trusted, not until independent organisations can verify all claims.

Hamas has switched to informational war with fake numbers and campaigns on social media and this has been proven over and over again. Both sides are exaggerating, but Israel at least is not undermined by terrorists.

Now downvote me to oblivion, because I don’t trust everything blindly like the Ministry of Truth want’s us to.

Why entitlement? He paid good money for a service and hardware and still got fucked sideways and got his data sold to shady assholes. Is it now bad to not want to be scammed and be spied on, while PAYING for something?

I used Netflix multiple years and it just got worse and worse in quality and convenience, while getting more expensive. Something that doesn’t happen when sailing the high seas. I don’t have to dox myself when pirating (unless you fucked it up yourself, ofc). I don’t have to justify why I try to watch something away from home. I’m not region restricted, because of licensing issues or some bullshit law some corrupt politician made up, while hoisting the black flag. And finally, I don’t need to pay multiple expensive subscriptions, because some companies want to take a piece of the cake, too.

You know what happened to pirating movies and series, when Netflix first started its streaming business and you could watch everyting on one platform for a reasonable price? Piracy drastically decreased. It only got a “problem” again, after the streaming services got greedy and tried their best to screw the users over with restrictions.

Switching rhe Cronjob from “0 0 */7 * " to " * * * *” would be too much to ask. Dark pattern goes brrr.

In fact, there is a whole site dedicated to unravel this shit: https://www.deceptive.design/

You are putting words in my mouth. I never said I’m opposed to mod support across platforms. In fact, I wish that more games would do this. I looked into mod.io for a bit and have to apologise, though. It seems I fell for the privacy concern myth, if you can call it that.

I still oppose some implementations of it. The game “Ready or Not” especially is atrocious with its mod.io implementation. You can only install + enable, or uninstall mods there. No disable option what so ever. Really fun with mods that are multiple GB in size, like maps.

Bu-but muh free games, tho?

• Dimwits, probably

Worse is, that Epics Spyware finds its way onto Steam releases as well with their online services… And don’t get me started on other cancer like mod.io

What mental gymnastics is that? Unless you are severly overweight and drive for anything further away than your front door, nobody gets this tired for walking for this short of a distance. This is not the USA. Not everything has to be a conspiracy, you know?

Or you know, they walked, with their legs. I know, outlandish concept. They even could have driven there. One or two kilometers are not that hard to cross. Especially when you are some antisemite Troglodyte.

Awesome, I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing!

Hold on, you can install desktop add-ons on Fennec? How can I accomplish that? I only ever found the officially supportet add-ons like uBlock and PrivacyBadger.

If the power networks are connected, you sometimes have surprisingly little control over it, tbh.

That’s true. I wonder how those statistics are made, where they say how many % of imports are from what resource, that I have seen floating around. Could be estimates, I guess?

There are hurdles with going 100% green, no doubt about that. Like you said, the infrastructure has to accommodate for changing output and all that. Sweden does it right and the Swedes can be proud of themselves.

Other nations still have to follow Swedens lead. Quite a few countries just took down their nuclear reactors without having a plan how to compensate the lost energy. Switzerland itself could claim a respectable renewable electricity mix with all our water pumping plants. But we still import like 70% from abroad, a lot from France and Germany. The latter beeing quite the “smoker”.

I hope you see my point a bit. I’ m just fed up with that “Look, we are so green!” narrative, because they only show the statistics in their national borders. Sweden was just a poorly chosen example on my part.

I call greenwashing on those “statistics”. According to IRENA, Sweden had around a quarter of their electricity from fossil fuels. The document is from 2020, but I don’t think it changed this much in three years. A very good step in the right direction, but we have to keep it real. Creating 100% renewable energy is awesome, but having to import a lot of dirty energy from abroad isn’t really helping much on the global scale.

I’d be glad, if any Swede could debunk me, if I interpreted this document falsely. The document on my home country Switzerland was pretty spot on, so I assume it is correct for other nations as well.

Considering how the main line games are doing — no. Our only hopes are Spike Chunsoft with Mystery Dungeon now. I hope they don’t mess it up if they get to have another go at it.

And what about pedestrians? Are they getting fucked over as always or does this Goolag shite include people with functioning legs as well?

Assuming that Goolag is a US business, I guess it probably doesn’t… You know what would solve emission problems in the big cities, though? Getting rid of private cars and instead investing in busses, trams and subways. Trying to “cure” the symptoms won’t get us far if the main problem still persists.

And I still don’t give a damn! There are two scenarios in case of sponsors.

1. The creator already got paid for the ad before the video. or
2. The creator is payed by percentage of their affiliate link.

It doesn’t matter if I skip for number one, obviously. Number two could be an argument. But 99% of those sponsors are borderline scams anyway, so I really don’t care, because I will never buy something off a sponsorship like that. Not NordVPN (which still tracks you btw…), nor Raid, nor any other crap.

Additionally, SponsorBlock also gets rid of those annoying reminders to “like and subscribe” barely a second into the video, and other such annoyances like fillers or those dumb spoilers that show the best parts of the video right at the start.

SponsorBlock isn’t the issue. It is a symptom of Googles unfathomable greed and the creators/consumers collective Stockholm Syndrome. I value my time more, than hearing the same five sentences about World of Tanks, Raid or any other braindead “game” repeated 500 times.

The only sponsors I don’t skip are the ones from InternetHistorian. He at least puts effort in and makes it fun to watch.
