Denuvo also prevents easy modding in many cases, causes issues on top of increasing system requirements. Valorant cheats possibility destroys the purpose of the system. But at least valorant anticheat is not being sold as a service to other devs I think.

I haven’t played cod for at least 10 years I think.

Software/game DRM/anticheat (as a service/product) that involves code obfuscation and/or kernel driver.

Not supporting the open nature of hardware and software.

Basically it’s too much of a hassle to make their software run on other hardware or use other software on their hardware.

Yeah, screw CEF, Electron, and webdevs who can’t live without those.

retaliation against a foreign nation conducting genocide against you for 70 years is not only justified and easy to understand, but fucking commendable

A retaliation that results in a predictable extermination is not commendable, it’s stupid. Instead of spending resources on rockets they should’ve spent them on building universities that would help them better understand the situation and possible ways to deal with it effectively.

Oh wait, I’m being stupid. Rockets and terrorism all the way it is! Because it’s easier and you get many internet points for calling it a “retaliation”.

So far all the hostages have died from actions by Israel

Some keep ignoring the part where people became hostages.

Signal is not applicable when you need a public space for people to just have a discussion, like in discord. Signal clients are clunky and rely on cross sync from what I see, while telegram clients are well made and convenient to use. Even Whatsapp went away from electron so I’d choose it over signal any day.

That’s the point of iron dome system. It only shoots down rockets that would otherwise hit targets that would cost more to rebuild/restore. At least that’s the case with hamas rockets - they are predictable enough. Drones are a different story.

It’s cool while it works. But these options are not going to be provided forever in newer hardware. Recent example I saw is the absense of AHCI option in new laptops (you now need additional drivers just to reinstall Windows manually). We need to keep developing software solutions to software problems.

Try Ripcord.

Sidebery is much better from my experience.

That’s less than optimal, for a website that is to be used as a search engine.

Thanks for your visit
Unfortunately we are not yet available in your country.

And no way to set my country.

Every business? Or do you mean Yemen’s business?

didn’t come from Westerners, but rather from Russians who complained

If you read the article and do some research it really comes from either Kremlin propaganda or people not knowing who Navalny really is.

his anti immigrant stance, equating immigrants to „cockroaches“ or dressing as a dentist and making a metaphor that immigrants were a pain that needs to be removed

And? You don’t know that about 70% of Russian population use much more cruel words about immigrants every day? You don’t know that there is a real problem with salaries in Russia that could be affected if Russia required proper visa from immigrants (something that a lot of other countries already do but you seem to not complanin about their immigrant stance)?

If you assume a politician who did and said that much as Navalny towards immigrants will do some real unimaginable shit towards them if he gets power… I think any Russian will tell you that you are wrong.

You pretend like nationalist authoritarianism is a phenomenon exclusive to Russia

Excuse me what? Where did I?

Your situation is not unique and if you support a fascist you get fascism.

1. I know Russia’s situation is not unique. That said, Navalny is unique as a political person still.

2. Surprise, you already have fascism in Russia even without Navalny. And there will be much more as long as Putin (at least) is in power.

Not that I hope that Navalny will at some point will get any power to do anything. But people lose too much when they judge others by single episodes from their past (that aren’t even getting interpreted properly, heh).

And that is how I interpreted it.

Okay let me try it differently. Imagine a perfect clone of Navalny gained full power in your country. You know he is a right wing shithead and will inevitably do what you expect and afraid him to do. Can you list a few things that he will do?

Someone calling you a shithead doesn’t make you a shithead, simple as that.

People not having a slightest idea about what people in Russia would think about what they assume by “right wing” won’t help Russian people at all, they would only confuse themselves.

The reason, though, is that by telling other people who has no idea about how Russia works to note how another Russian person is bad by their standards (also doing no work to actually research and confirm that) will only make it much less likely for any Russian person to be liked or accepted by the rest of the world. Not because they are really that bad or stuff, but because of only high probability of people getting misled by crap articles and Kremlin propaganda and then refusing to do proper research.

That’s not true and it wouldn’t matter even if it was true. You got to know a lot about Russian current culture to understand the specifics.

It’s useless to apply current standards of developed countries on Russia in order to approve some politician. Russia needs to change before that could even work. I imagine Navalny could’ve been one of drivers of that process.

Also Amnesty reversed that decision since. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/05/statement-on-alexei-navalnys-status-as-prisoner-of-conscience-2/

So there is a side if good here?
