HK has literally never been independent, it went from being a Qing fishing village to a British concession, to a British overseas territory and then to a PRC special autonomous region.

It came close to full autonomy during the end of British rule and the start of PRC rule (before Xi), but it never has been independent.

No, if another 100k Australians had come out and then kept protesting day in day out for weeks/months they would have got the aus government to back down and not support the war.

The popular well crafted ones are, but not all are well crafted.

I dont think his point is ‘These amazing games are what you get if you give devs tine’ but rather ‘you can only get these games from giving devs time’. Its no guaruntee by any means, but you are never going to get greatness from suits focus grouping decisions and crunching out a game.

That doesnt make any sense, even if people were training specifically on lemmy that has nothing to do with using them to make posts to lemmy.

The vast majority of which now run fine on linux with proton.

Obviously its important, but pretending its not political doesnt make any sense. If a community doesnt want to discuss politics (and as far as I’ve seen the OP didnt say which community this was in) then its a reasonable post to remove.

Of course its political, what else would it be? You are talking about peoples rights (a political concept) being breached by an administration (poltical) using an arm of the government (political) as a paramilitary force (political).

Perhaps, I think its more likely that active moderation is the cause of that rather than word lists that let p!ss, pi$s and pιss through when trying to block piss.

The Scunthorpe problem is hard, and any simple blacklist method is bound to give both false positives and false negatives.

Where are you getting that from? Its not on the linked firefox terms of use, or on the linked mozzilla account terms of service.

Its a political stech in a newspaper, not a link to a video. You can either go to the guardian’s front page to see the it or type anything even slightly relatred to it into a search engine to see the video.

Modernised as in made to work on modern systems, not a change to the game.

I dont think that is the motivation, they already have modernised versions of these games available on steam.

For a bit of extra context, points 5,6 and 7 only apply if you distribute the software that is based on the GPL licenced software, if you just use it for your own internal use you dont have any obligations (not really relevant for games but just for additional info).

Please try to read usernames, I didnt say anything about motivations.

And all of them threatened retaliatory tariffs immediately after trump anounced his:

• China
• Canada
• Mexico
• EU

Obviously most of those havent been implemented yet as THe USA hasnt implemented it’s tariffs. But the more general point about imposing retaliatory tariffs is sound, they make the other countries exports less attractive. If the US does that to other countries they are going to want to do it back to the US.

So do you think the EU, Canada, Mexico and China all dont understand how economies work either? As they all immediately said they would respond to tariffs with tariffs on American goods.

There was also a Harvard paper that was the main justification for austerity in the UK given its conclusion that past a certain GDP/debt ratio al sorts of bad things happen.

Turned out to be an excel error skipping 1/4 of their data and when re-run with the whole set the effect vanished. Horrible abuses of excel and csv files are by no means limited to any one country.

Anything pre ~2000, graphics came on incredibly in the years at the end of the 90s start of the 21 century. The difference between FF7 (1997)
