Looks freaking cool!

Buddy in crime

Nach Geldern dürfte es passen.

Creating an economic incentive is known for sane country leaders to hesitate to attack their business partner. Sadly Putin isn't sane.

I think that's ultimately it. The next TES is going to be a disaster.

On another news https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/10/04/brussels-breaks-impasse-after-eu-countries-fail-to-agree-on-chinese-ev-tariffs

As a German, I can tell you its 2/3 because current evs are too expensive. Making Chinese evs more expensive via taxation will only lead to the 2/3 not buying an ev at all. But the good thing is the EU will force car makers to not produce individual combustion engine vehicles so the less wealthy are forced to use public transport, which is not suited for so many people and this is all drifting towards major issues. I'll probably keep driving my ice til it erodes into dust.

Heliboard, if you hit that little ">". Highly recommended as it works well and one doesn't need the google keyboard. Can also do multiple languages at once.

Pretty much no phone is directed at everyone else's face all the time, that alone is the huge difference. It's the differences between someone using their phone and someone actively holding it upright to record the crowd. Surveillance cameras might be out there too but they aren't sighted by everyone (different by country, some even have to deleted after 24h, unless there was a crime).

People quickly would tell you to stop recoding, if you'd hold up your phone all the time, even in situations where you're closer to each other, like in public transport.

Oh, it's about the American political system. Well it's broken anyways, so that explains the many comments lacking any nuances.

In another news a month ago, it said, young gamers do no longer seek confrontation as much and therefore play less PvP games.

Remnant 2 is great. Having a lot of fun with it.

Loneliness kills, if you're lonely you're probably having zero sex.

Damn. I'm a European citizen, I thought I'm save from opt-out bullshit.

Enshittification continues

HP is doing a lot of advertisement lately, the boycott must show first fruits. Fuck HP.

Your right, there's for example Netzpolitik which fights for our internet rights. I've donated to them once. Totally forgot about them, shame on me.

Some games, like Allen Wake, have been full out removed from sale because of expired music license. There has been other cases some come back later with the music stripped.

I don't donate money because over half of my paycheck is already deducted from my pay. Germany does already a lot of welfare in my name and I'm proud of this and okay with this.

Also I'm aware of issues donations can cause, like material ones for instance, that can disrupt the economy of a poor country and prevent them from growing their own, so I don't do that either.

I also believe it's not good to keep another country depending on donations, because in the long run it will create more suffering when the donations can't keep up. It's a bit difficult to explain as a lot of processes interconnect here and it sounds heartless without explaining it in detail. Let's say there are a lot of exceptions to the last part, as for instance a country currently at war should get as much donations a possible. However I personally also draw the line on countries who are at war constantly, as they seam to lack interest in stopping blood for blood conflicts and I'd rather not get involved into this, as it's hard to tell who's the good guys.

I thought about donating to local pet shelters and I might do that in the future, because they have a lot of pets suffering and not receive enough money to properly care for them. On the other hand I eat meat and where's the differences between a dog or a cow? It almost feels hypocrite to eat one and trying to save the other. So probably reducing meat consumption is the best I could do. Much better than donations.

I accepted that I'm a human with needs and wants and therefore also egoism, else I'd donate all my money, as there's always someone who's life is worse than mine. But I don't do that.

Now a lot of companies selling gaming digital goods should get nervous, as they do this 100% of the time.

Next: make it so games can't suddenly lose their music license. This is so incredible annoying. I know it's depending on what the publishers negotiated, but it shouldn't be possible to suddenly patch out soundtracks because of a license expire.
