Such stores have been a favorite of Iranian diplomats posted to and visiting New York because they are able to buy large quantities of products not available in their economically isolated country for relatively cheap prices and send them home.

I mean don’t you think they can just get someone else (who might already be here or a friend from another delegation) to do it for them?? I don’t see how that’ll stop anything it’s just an extra step.

cant remember where i saw it but young people are joining less and less i guess its their way of trying to connect to the “youths”. Its such a spectacle.

cant be irony, there has to be a better word for this level of stupidity

relax its not that deep

let people have fun damn

well I am absolutely shocked that meta could be so careless about people’s private data, its inconceivable 😧😧 they would never do such a thing.

okay but objectively this is low key funny

currently going trough my personal backlog of games I’ve always wanted to play but never could. Never had my own console or a good enough PC. bought myself a steam deck and I’ve been an absolute degenerate doing nothing but playing video games. Just finished all 3 watch dogs (+ DLCs), currently working my way trough horizon zero dawn then will play forbidden west. Also simultaneously playing expedition 33, fallout 4, sleeping dogs and the witcher 3. I know its not high art but watch dogs is my favourite game and franchise I wish ubisoft would do something more with it.

every time I see a game has great graphics and is made with UE 5 I never get it anymore because I know it’ll run like ass on my PC. I’m not a billionaire who can afford a fancy computer with a GPU.

you can turn it off (for now)

do not use this site its filled with weirdos not to mention we don’t need another echo chamber to radicalize more people

another echo chamber is not a good idea that’s the reason the US in this current state

skill issue honestly

they’ve said multiple times that they require email as a way to combat against their work being scrapped by bots and getting published elsewhere. They are a small team doing great work they need money to keep running. I don’t see what the issue is.

I’ve never heard of the Halloween files I just looked it up and that’s just so crazy. I don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors in their c-suite but I wouldn’t be surprised if this fund is a way to get their hands into open source projects. Like you said there’s no explicit proof so it’s best to be cautious.

yes exactly, my problem is not the money. I don’t expect these project to always be free and I support those I can, sponsorship is good. These giant tech firms have used free projects all the time to make money without providing any support so its fine that they’re supporting them. My problem is that I do not trust Microsoft at all.

its just so frustrating no matter what I do I can’t get away from their dirty hands, even if I thought I was.

with what money

can’t wait for this video GN always does great work

HUH?!
