I mean, it's a game about sun wukong. You know damn well at a minimum every chinese gamer will pick it up.
Huh, the writing is slightly different and explicitly mentions you were banned by the devs. So maybe in OPs case it really was Valve's moderators and my comment is slightly wrong.
Sadly, it all comes down to who is in charge, and that's leftist Steam community mods.
Each game's community tab can be moderated by the game developers too. So it could very well be Bioware's DEI team doing overtime to keep the narrative. However unless you're banned from ALL community tabs in one swoop there is basically no way of knowing if you got hit by Steam moderation or dev moderation AFAIK
Yes, I know that's hard, but you can transition to Discover and American Express for most things. Do not fund your enemies.
At least you americans have other options. For me the only other option is to just use cash because no bank in my country issues anything other than Visa or MasterCard.
Steam was founded on the concept that piracy was a service problem, not a price one.
Back in the day the main reason was to undercut Sierra and other game publishers, and it was hated because why the fuck would you need an online connection to play Half Life 2.
Nowadays the philosophy behind it is indeed the one you mention, and the 3 letter stooges can fuck off
Muh Russia stole the election incoming
Give them a break, they're currently focusing their energies into stealing the 2024 election \s.
Russia is not able to rig elections in freaking Moldova
Oh don't worry, there were already indictments against citizens for receiving bribes to vote against joining the EU. So some fuckery DID happen, at least according to the Moldovan government
The big business in Romania, wants the cheaper labor of the Moldovans
This argument doesn't make much sense once you go to any big romanian city and see them filled with jeets doing food delivery and other service jobs(the only thing missing is them reconnecting with their lost "brothers" and getting into the euronigger trade). And it's not even going full force yet because businesses haven't reached the 100k/year limit for non-EU sla.. ahem workers, so I can see it become a LOT worse.
I’m interested in how that works - is it much like how NIrish residents can get it through having had previous generations of relatives in the Republic..?
If you can prove your ancestors(up to great-grandparents, or grandparents if they willingly relinquished it) had Romanian citizenship(which during the inter-war period, also meant being born in today's Moldova, some parts of Ukraine and Bulgaria) you're entitled to regain it. Though given the soviets' efforts to russify the region a sizeable chunk of the population is not eligible.
I don’t even know how Cyprus manages that (presumably they’re just not in Schengen?),
Cypurs is not in schengen and until the Northern Cyprus dispute ends probably never will. Not sure about how cypriot citizenship works in that circumstance, if it's more like Romania or more like the baltics(where russian minorities who didn't go through naturalization are granted non-citizen passports that bars them from any EU rights they might be entitled to if they had full citizenship).
If we're pragmatic about it Moldova joining the EU isn't worth it(even if you exclude Russia not approving it and troonistria chimping out) since most Moldovans have Romanian citizenship too and get all the EU perks the average Radu(mainly free movement to the western EU countries) gets with none of the drawbacks.
Weren't some studies published that all this "foreign aid" is just a giant grift that does more harm than good?
Why rise above savagery when whitey keeps dumping free food bought from their friends at absurd prices
Trusted flagers, if I read the law correctly, is a glorified moderator approved by one of the communication agencies(FCC for americans) of a member state. And forces companies to prioritise reports from them.
A. Nothing says the companies can't reject them for being frivolous
B. Companies can (at least theoretically) report to the approver that the "trusted flagger" is a giant faggot and only spams frivolous requests to at least get them suspended until they investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing
Of course, by the nature of how these guys are approved is completely nonsensical.
The titles don't matter that much as they can be all powerful or completely token on the whims of who actually runs the country. If you take China for example, Deng Xiaoping who was the leader after Mao was neither General Secretary nor President during his leadership.
Commies love to say "General Secretary" is because "president" is too bourgeoisie for them(though they will use this title abroad to seem more "normal").
I'm not even sure what Godot is, but it looks like a pixel editor?
It's an open source software for primarily making 2D games.
Can someone ELI5 the Godot thing?
Their X account posted some woke shit, people got mad because they do that instead of improving the engine, commie manager starts blocking users who complain, board starts defending the commie manager
Or use the +NIGGER license modifier
honestly what pisses me off the most is how obsessed these nu-coders are with weirdo fucko package abstraction layers
And the worst part is, these fucko package abstraction layers are the perfect breeding ground for supply chain attacks. It only takes ONE packager to push a malicious update to a dependency and watch the malware spread like wildfire. Hell node-ipc did this before, by pushing an update that (I kid you not) if it detected you had an Russian or Belarussian IP address it would wipe the fucking computer and plaster ukrainian flags all over your computer/server's filesystem.
So if you used node-ipc or a package that depended on it(which you wouldnt know because everything has fucking nested dependencies), you got fucked.
No need for rust in Linux to actually work, heck a lot of the "advantages" Rust gives are thrown off the window because by their nature they can't work in an environment where the OS doesn't hold your fucking hand.
They only need the foot in the door to start causing damage, and Linus already proved himself to be part of the woke mafia.
Hell one of the reasons Linus held out against other languages in the kernel(mainly C++) is because in a freestanding environment its extra features cannot possibly work in a freestanding environment(i.e. no operating system, and YOU have to manage bloody everything) and the syntactic sugar other languages provides is only a copout for substandard developers to shit up the code.
Why haven't rustfags made their own unix copy to prove the language's effectiveness as a tool for OS development and instead corrupting everything in their path is very telling
Given how most euro states are cucked beyond reasonable doubt, it isn't a hard thing to pull off once you get an insider.
Or probably not even that since the protocols used for mobile communications(think SMS and phone calls) are about as secure as the Schengen Area. From the outside looks secure, but if someone lets you in(and would not be unreasonable for Iranian or Russian phone operators to have roaming deals connecting them with the rest of the worlds phone systems despite the sanctions), it's an all you can eat bouffet.
Simple as that. If there's an issue, forbid free movement between areas, or forbid the people you don't want free-moving.
Well... The agreements initially stipulated that only the citizens and their family members have free movement(of people), then it was extended to people having "long-term residency"(equivalent to a green card).
Migrants getting rapefugee status in Germany, are supposed to stay in Germany until they get citizenship or at least long term residency.
Until the Schengen area was introduced, border controls were still happening for goods and people, but much more relaxed if you had that EU passport/ID card/long-term residency permit.
Now... It's a free for all once you're in a Schengen country.
And the prenup agreement.
Prenups are completely useless in family court. The woman can simply claim she was forced to sign it and have the judge throw it off the window
Of course it will be hollow. Brussels is too stuck up its arse to just tell Hungary, "you know what you're out stop playing this nonsense, you and all of your expats sitting in the rest of the EU get the fuck out, you're illegally here".
Germany has grappled for years with the NEED TO [emphasis mine] attract more skilled workers from outside the European Union.
Haven't they sucked the eastern EU dry of workers, now they need nigs and jeets? Oh I know, because you have to give them same rights as citizens, while non-EU citizens coming on work visas are effectively a slave caste.
"Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Saying it "cannot cope" with large number of migrants crossing its border, the Netherlands unveiled strict new anti-immigration measures Friday.
What border?????? Other than the maritime border(which clearly isn't as convenient as the Mediteranean for migrants to get into the Schengen Area), Netherlands only neighbors Schengen states. This means they can't do jack about migrants crossing the border, unless they leave the Schengen Area(and knowing Brussels this will also imply leaving the EU). And even if they use "the you can put border controls back temporarily" card, if the migrants have permits from Germany or other migrant friendly schengen states, they can't do much about it.
Faber also made it clear the Netherlands will ask Brussels for an opt-out of the EU asylum and migration policy and instead "join forces with like-minded countries in Europe" in a move she said will strengthen control of the country's border.
They know very well Brussels will NOT accept this but hey brownie points for the people who voted for them.
Under the new rules, the Netherlands' declaration of undesirability will be expanded in an effort to more quickly deport immigrants who commit crimes.
Good luck deporting """""""""""asylum seekers""""""""""" who burned their passports before requesting asylum. If only they were allowed to put them on a boat and leave them to their fate.
What I found interesting from HN is that some company had crowdstrike on a Debian machine and that it hosed that system (not recently) due to a specific version and configuration crowdstrike didn't test.
I've heard about those issues, but it wasn't exactly caused by Crowdstrike itself(though having it would trigger it). Rather it was caused by a Linux kernel patch that broke something in eBPF(the module responsible with providing filtering capabilities in Linux) which Crowdstrike uses in lieu of a kernel driver(though you can switch if you want, and a temporary workaround was exactly that). A similar system is available on macOS too, and Apple actively discourages kernel drivers(or kexts as they're called).
Windows unfortunately is rather limited with regard security applications that don't use a kernel driver.
Putin didn't either, so he could very well just ignore the thing. The greatest lapdog already doesn't give jack shit about the ICC
