Jitsi now requires an account with Google or Microsoft to use it afaik.

Well good luck to Unity in fighting massive games like FGO or Genshin.

I think epic made their engine more appealing by waiving some Epic Games Store charges for Unreal games. And had a no fee until 1m earnings thing. Not this kind of shit.

Yeah this is why many bigger studios just use their own Engines even if they’re shit.

This Ain’t even the worst name Sony has ever given to a product.

Probably won’t. WhatsApp is already huge. Threads was a new platform with artificially inflated user numbers.

This article just ignores non Chinese debt though? Which form the larger share in Pakistan.

And for Sri Lanka, China has offered relief which also led to the IMF also negotiating debt relief with Sri Lanka.

I agree with Zambia, the Chinese didn’t play nicely there and acted quite hawkishly. But they did restructure the debt in June when western lenders agreed to do the same.

Also your article doesn’t really talk about events that lead to the economies of Pakistan and Sri Lanka ( Countrywide floods and covid killing tourism respectively) crashing and implies that it’s entirely china’s fault. I think they are quite important when talking about dying economies.

Also would like to add that this still doesn’t compare to European Colonialism.

Eastern European countries love their “macho” leaders. Putin has been doing the whole shtick since forever and Zelensky started it too since 2022. Fucking hate this shit.

Chromium, Crypto, Trash UI

Bitwarden is practically free. You can pay for some extra features but all the core features and unlimited passwords storage works. Nobody should pay for a password manager.

China unironically has been more helpful to African development in the past few decades than Europe in the past few centuries. Mostly because China wants Africa to be turned into a prosperous region and serve as customers to China meanwhile the west has been focused on wealth extraction from day one.

I don’t understand why Ukraine didn’t ask the US government for this and instead asked Musk directly. Ofc he wouldn’t do it unless pressured by the government.

Better Hardware and software( Samsung software was very bad before OneUI), great partnerships with Google lead to creation of some of the best android phones with the nexus series. And great Cameras systems at that time.

Huawei was definitely the best android manufacturer. Way ahead of Samsung, Google and other Chinese manufacturers.

Windows Defender is actually a mercenary software

Won’t play it until the modding scene becomes bigger

Europe is not the whole world

Shocking

Okay I read your comment wrong. Sorry about that.

But referring to your thread on hexbear, it seems that they are intent on speaking bad about Biden rather than supporting trump. Which is fair since Biden and the Democratic Party have been involved in destruction of millions of lives.

The problem here seems to be American culture where you have to treat one side as the devil and one side as the god. Anyone slightly in between is accused of worshipping the devil.

You’re correct without doubt that under conservatives, bigoted policies may increase. But they are also increasing under the Democrats albeit slowly. They are barely doing anything as rights get taken away and it’s necessary to call them out for it. I can see trans rights getting demolished under any future administration because the political system in the US works against the interests of minorities.

Where is the transphobia? It just looks like they hate both trump and Biden?
