Trump and the DNC themselves are the fruits of accepting the argument of "harm reduction" for long enough.

Guess what, it's always this election that we need to support an 'electabe candidate' standing for nothing while promoting conservative and nationalist values, and always the next where we'll surely be able to put pressure on the Democratic party to field a candidate that actually wants to change things. You know, the type they like to fight and slander at every turn otherwise.

Yup. I built my rig when it was just barely affordable and plan to maintain it for many years. It works just fine for the titles I play.

I mainly feel for the enthusiasts and the community and economy they built. Most people aren't interested in tech they can never hope to reasonably afford. Gone are the times of a new rig every 3-4 years. Gone is the excitement.

Matter of Interpretation. It's not a time-limited discount anymore so it's "permanent" in that sense, but there's no commitment to not again raise the price later.

Huh? Your account doesn't get deleted when the subscription expires, it moves to the free plan.

Awesome. If I saw someone 10 years older than me absolutely tearing up a path in the woods, pushing themselves the way I remember biking for fun, I'd be nothing short of inspired.

Yeah because there's not just a lack of evidence for the touted mass rapes or child beheadings, but actually solid evidence and witness testimony against them. We even know the guy who spread these falsehoods.

Meanwhile the IOF is on camera using rape as a weapon of war against hostages, and on record defending it.

In the US, corporate media is largely aligned with the Trump regime and journalists that dare to ask an actual question are denied access.

In unrelated news: the Lybian "coast guard" is using their EU-provided ships in international waters to shoot at rescue ships and threaten to abduct the crew.

Much less a genocidal ethnostate.

Short-term, yes. Maintaining the client integrations is a ton of work. If BW ever breaks selfhosted integrations, it's gonna be a shitshow.

That's what they are trying to communicate here, yes. But 8.5 million users didn't need to be told they need to trust the platform, they chose to. As did I with a premium plan to cover MFA and attachments.

Now with business types in charge and a hidden doubling of the fees, that's more than halfway out the window no matter what the website stands for. I'm guessing somebody decided it's time to cash in on the goodwill they built over the past decade.

You really believe that with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel in charge of its initial parameters and training, bar any oversight? That stretches hope too far in my book.
