Doesn't change the fact that some forms of travel are objectively worse for the environment than others. If you can reasonably take a train or a bus instead of a plane or car, you should do so.

No, the assessment is stupid as well. It's just parroting propaganda, while ignoring the mountains of information (in some cases literally officially published by the Kremlin, like Putin's essay "On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians") that Russian leadership doesn't even consider Ukraine to be a real country and very much does want to annex it because it is "Russian".

Without having to re-buy the game, yes. I'd even be willing to pay GOG a bit of money for the cost of hosting the files etc, but I'm not paying Bethesda twice. That's just rewarding bad behaviour.

Because Bethesda games are exclusively single player and offer absolutely no way to decline updates. If they had the old version available as a "beta" or (even better) if Valve stopped dying on the "every game must be updated before launching it even single player games because fuck you" hill there wouldn't be any outrage.

Sure. Now convince Russia and China to go first, because I'd rather not sacrifice Ukraine and Taiwan and quite possibly the Baltic states.

All search engines suffer from enshittification because the web at large does. Switching search engines won't help escape it, Google's results are getting worse because the internet as a whole is. Bing's and DuckDuckGo's results are just as bad. And unless someone comes up with a reliable way of filtering AI generated SEO crap from searches, it's only going to get worse.

I'm going to have to disagree. It's forced labour, no amount of pretty words changes that. It's also not a "break" if you have to work, and considering that you'd be unskilled and probably physical labour with no (simple) way for you to quit if faced with abuse, it probably won't even be under good conditions or compensated fairly.

That's not how this works. The monkeypox and chickenpox are different diseases, and the smallpox virus is literally extinct (save for a handful of laboratory samples). There can be no new cases, ever. Even if a similar virus evolved, it'd be a different disease the same way COVID and SARS are different diseases.

Disruptive protests are not effective unless you have an actual majority of the population backing them, otherwise they're actively counterproductive. Politics is optics. If it makes you look bad to the average voter, it won't work.

You want visibility, not disruption. Annoyed people are nearly impossible to convince, they won't listen to you, they just want you to go away. Even if they are people who would agree with you if you managed to get them to listen.

Ich hab mehrere unter 30% aber der Abstand zur AfD ist krass. Vorletzte PdV 22,1%, Schlusslicht AfD 8,7%

The hardware team made a device that just couldn't be turned into a good product no matter what the software team did. None of those AI-in-a-box devices are good products because they simply don't have a reason to exist. Everything they can do, phones can do. If you have a phone, you don't need one of those AI boxes, however if you buy one of those AI assistant things, you'll still need a phone (which, again, can completely replace the AI box with no loss in functionality).

Russia, Iran and North Korea are republics too. Republic just means "not a monarchy". The US is a (deeply flawed) representative democracy.
