“getting into bed together” and “careful who you get into bed with” are so old/common in the business world that its hard for me to relate to most of the comments on this one.

Even meeting the wife first in nothing new in the world of business or “high-society” contacts. The only thing new here is that he got his own bed and didn’t have to mention the couch or leave it even more vague.

… but I’m not here to sympathise with either of them?

I don’t disagree with your assessment per se, but ethics-wise I’m liking Chad, or anywhere else that actively takes in large numbers of immigrants/refugees.

I didn’t come here to criticize most countries like so, but when you hit the nail on the head like that …

That said, there are plenty of people who should be willing to all but sell their souls to get out, if they could only see and acknowlege what’s coming for them. I’m not here to tell anyone besides magats “get out of my country”, but if enough privileged people like me lead by example, maybe more will get the message.

Yes. Theirs remains a country worth defending, from a credible, external threat, and the bulk of the potential victims were both allowed to leave and given reasonable options for places to flee to at the outset.

Personally, I’m more worried about most of my friends and family being coerced/tricked to the wrong side than being victimized - merely being deported as a white person would be a win in this sick, sad, world. The contrast was literally the point of my comment.

I feel like this is more relatable than the reasons my family insists on staying on the US. All any “decent” people’s presence does is “legitimize” the regime and lull the victims and future conscripts into a false sense of security and hope, at this point.

Pink is wypypo

Exactly. If your fucks are being wasted on being un-happy, stopping giving them. Can’t fix a problem with the resources, tools, and/or assistance available to you? Repeat after me: I don’t give a fuck about this right now, what else can I do?

Basically, if the app developers bother to maintain their own repository, there is no reason for other f-droid repositories to waste storage and bandwidth on duplicating them and constantly checking to be sure its the latest versions of those apps that have been copied. This is a feature, not a bug, in systems like f-droid.

That said, f-droid could stand to add a directory for known-good repositories, or listings for apps that pull from such repositories without requiring you or I to manually type in a url or scan a QR code, but end of the day, its free softwaree maintained by volunteers.

Many apps on Linux work the same way; However, in my experience, once you’ve downloaded and installed an application’s .deb, tar.gz, whatever, it will offer to add its repositories to your package manager’s sources, whereas on Android, once you install an .apk, it stays that version until you install a newer version manually or let the Play store or whatever over-write it.

I have my doubts about these landmines in the first place, but I intenionally ignored them to focus on the premise in the title. The idea that front-line mil-tech is all that secure is just NCD leaking.

I mean, a lot of it is more vulnerable than you would think. There’s a reason abandoned equipment is supposed to be destroyed.

That said, physical access is the name of the game. Remotely hacking a drone, or any device, would be a big ask without being close enough to see it responding to whatever preliminary access attempts.

This, and any methods for infinite flying wing in TotK. It feels like getting kicked in the nuts to be nearly 100%, but sprinting remains close to the most convenient way(for me) to cross the map.

Bye now.

You don’t know shit. My search turned up nothing more concrete than your own apeing of the plaintiff’s claims as though those were evidence, so I didn’t bother.

Meanwhile, the subject at hand quite literally revolves around Steam and Steam-Keys. We don’t even have to get into third-party distribution without Steam-Keys to disprove your argument, although that market also remains alive and well as ever.

The rest was just me matching your energy, but I’m not exaggerating when I say I should have just blocked your belligerent ass a while ago. You can’t be bothered to prove your own points, yet keep pretending to be the most “mature” and “focused” person here. It’s painful to watch the trolling this far off the rails.

You honestly think I didn’t do a google search before reading the two relavent articles reachable from the OP? Nothing I found, nor the fact that I regularly buy games/steam!keys cheaper than via steam, meshes with the plaintiff’s claims.

Telling others to act like grown-ups while accepting un-founded claims that happen to reflect your argument at face-value, how very mature of you.

The allegations of the plaintiff are not necessarilly the written or enforced policies of the defendant. Please consider linking something of substance when accusing others of being un-serious/insincere.

You made a claim without linking to it in the first place. Its not my job to substantiate your arguments.

Sure. Not being able to sell literal Steam keys on other platforms for less on other platforms for less according to the terms is the same as being prevented from selling on other platforms for less at all, nevermind that Valve gets a 0% cut on Steam Key Sales made like so.

Also, there is no mention of said policy in either the OP article, nor the separate article about the lawsuit it links to.

Steam does nothing to prevent running non-steam games on any platform. Charge 20-30% extra on Steam and call it done.

You, me, my brother-in-law. For some reason, its the progressive* men in my life who understand the need to get our families away from this shit, somewhere they can avoid suffering and death, or radicalization, or recruitment to a losing cause. One thing we’re definitely NOT heading for is a quick civil war.

Meanwhile my wife and all the other white progressive women we know seem perfectly happy to play wait-and-see straight through until its far too late.

*Even most of the MAGAT men I know would jump at the chance to remove their families from this sinking ship - they don’t want their kids caught up in this shit either.

Think I’ll hold out for controller support, tbh
