I’d argue that actual systemic changes are required to not only punish, but also prevent these things from being allowed to happen.

I admit having free press that can report it is definitely a good step forward though… although now that I wanted to double check some facts on the article I see that it was just removed?

🤔 Can you check if it’s still available to you?

Earlier this year, the State Customs Service of Ukraine registered 653 cases of disappeared humanitarian cargo for military purposes. Some of the missing materials included plates for body armor, night vision devices, thermal imagers, drones, and military vehicles.

How the fuck are they “disappearing” military vehicles, having a whole third of the donations just vanish is really messed up.

Ukraine has got to get its shit together and really fight corruption in a more meaningful way.

I’ve had a good experience with YouTube comments but I feel they are pretty pointless as:

• there is no search function:Ctrl f only takes you so far as it just looks at what is currently present and sometimes even hidden by display more or within replies, it’s very annoying.

• people spam a lot and comments only load in batches: 10k comments in popular videos saying shit like ‘sir thank you sir, excellent tutorial, I didn’t understand anything but I like using React’.

• some comments get auto removed: if you want to post a workaround or some piece of code, it gets removed if there’s a link or link-looking structure.

I mostly comment on tech-related tutorials just to post a list of the issues I had and the solutions, from time to time I get pinged with more questions and people are generally grateful and sometimes other people mention better/easier workarounds.

I’ve seen people using dual apps (this tech has been out for several years by now) to have completely independent instances of an app such as whatsapp so that they can be online for say friends and family, but leave the other instance offline for work.

It’s also used a lot for cheating too 🥲

For anyone else that is curious:

Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) is the fastest-growing news agency covering Israel and the Jewish world. We provide news, briefs, features, opinions and analysis to 100 print newspapers and digital publications on a daily basis.

Subtitles forced as on.

Or at the very least, the option to choose subtitles right away at the very start of the game.

I fucking hate when games have intro scenes or full chapters where you can’t pause or bring up the menu and you cannot turn on subtitles and I just don’t play games without subtitles (when the game has dialogue).

Phones can have double sims, and WhatsApp web (been out for years by now) can be used on any decent Desktop Browser, it can also be installed as a PWA and I think there is a WhatsApp Desktop version as well.

Why is this so downvoted? Lol

Your typical Lemming (for lack of a better term)

That’s the right term

I was curious too so I googled it:

Scam baiter Jim Browning bamboozled by scammers into deleting his own YouTube channel

https://www.bitdefender.com/blog/hotforsecurity/scam-baiter-jim-browning-bamboozled-by-scammers-into-deleting-his-own-youtube-channel/

From what I read, some scammer tricked him by impersonating YouTube Support and telling him he would lose all his adsense revenue, which prompted Browning to fall for it.

I’d go to universities all over the world and ask teachers and students to show me their projects and ideas to help society. There are some incredibly smart people out there that could change the world if we helped them.

Israel is going full Pikachu meme after trying to commit genocide against Palestinians

I think they compare him to Trump because of the demagoguery and populism.

For women who assembled iPhones at a Foxconn plant in southern India, crowded dorms without flush toilets and food sometimes crawling with worms were problems to be endured for the paycheck.

Fucking disgusting

Next step might be to add some ads to paid version?

Yep:

Amazon is sticking ads in Prime Video shows and movies unless you pay more

Netflix with ads arrives

Well…

In January 2018, referring to a particular case in Chile, Pope Francis accused victims of fabricating allegations

He later mentioned that was a mistake and tried to make things more transparent but ultimately failed to do so. To be honest, catholicism gets away with this shit but we as a society haven’t done enough to prevent or even punish it.

Multiple countries are moving towards fascist populism where the myriads of completely stupid people get to be told how to feel about an issue after a crafty politician oversimplifies the situation.

Even if they are not winning right now, they are getting more and more popular. Democracy is showing how bad it works with an uneducated and easy to manipulate population.

As long as it is cheaper, businesses will continue doing so.

estimating that Mar-a-Lago was worth up to $739 million though its assessed value was no more than $28 million.

Yikes that’s gotta hurt

There’s this study for those interested in knowing more about how often these devices mistakenly record conversations:
