Probably should have thought about that before the invasion.

I’m more worried about people who create content you come to YouTube for. Should they work for free for your entertainment?

Inb4 „they don’t get paid much anyway” etc

Kojima movie could be 40 hours long, forget it. This one will be a neat 2h15m Hollywood flick which had to roll Solid Snake and Liquid Snake into one Sorta Solid Snake not to confuse American audience.

For a FOSS enthusiast, this is a total non-starter. We don’t migrate to Linux just to swap one proprietary black box for another. If I cannot audit the code that sits between my binaries and the internet, I am not interested.

That’s hardcore. Are there any network cards with fully open firmware? How does one learn to audit code for how many layers there are to this? Does this person has time for anything other than auditing code? Or is this and other claims a satire?

French Revolution didn’t reach far enough.

EU might get it one day, Poland will just opt out since that’s basically communism.

I guess notifications being constantly broken in Beeper (app I use for Messenger and Signal) are a good thing now.

Claiming I’m the one not convinced by ‘receipts’ (a handful of Wikipedia articles that are only broadly related to the conflicts in question)

Yes, the Wikipedia article on Yemen civil war is too broad. Good bye, wasted too much time already.

He was killed in 2018 so let’s wait 3 years before posting those news from Al Jazeera.

Media manipulation is also about what’s not being shown.

I can’t believe I have to argue for not relying on journalism from an outlet that has conflict of interest at its core. SA is one of the major sides of this conflict. Al Jazeera will avoid presenting SA in bad light. That’s all there is to it and you’re not convinced by receipts so I’ll just let you go on on your merry day.

Yemen has been racked by war since 2014, pitting Iran-backed Houthi rebels against the internationally recognised government and a Saudi Arabian-led military force.

See how this is framed? That’s the only mention of SA in the first article. It’s repeated verbatim in the second one.

Al Jazeera shouldn’t be used for news concerning Middle East. If they were silent on Khashoggi because it’s inconvenient for SA then what other things they will keep quiet on? They’re pretty good for international news as long as SA doesn’t have an interest in the matter but that’s becoming less and less given how far they reach now.
