The overwhelming majority of consumers will never install an OS on a system.

They will only ever use the OS that came pre-installed.

Since it's oil based it probably doesn't wash off without using soap or at least hot water, wouldn't be effective it it did anyway. It's meant to be eaten along with the produce, given that the coating is very thin and made of only rapeseed oil and oat oil I doubt it will add any perceptible taste.

At first this map seemed perfectly fine to me, but the more I look the weirder it gets.

  • The projection used (Mollweide?) distorts the hell out of Europe, Iceland is practically a smear.
  • Thailand is gone.
  • Crimea seems missing.
  • Is Japan a bit shrunk?
  • They must have screwed up mounting Africa because the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden are WAY too big

Worked pretty well for turkey, they shot down 2 russian fighter jets, resulting in the death of 1 pilot. Russia did not violate their airspace again.

Not necessarily no, the calls for a no fly zone are mostly asking for it over western Ukraine. Russian manned planes don't fly that deep into Ukraine, much too dangerous, so a no fly zone over that area would only shoot down unmanned objects, drones and missiles.

The problem they're faced with is a drug epidemic and the solution they come up with is mass murder.

Obviously very sane and rational.

Would you like to build a better future?

NO, there has to be a good guy who only does good things and a bad guy who only does bad things!

The deadline to meet the new 5%/3.5% spending target is 2035, the level of motivation to reach it quickly varies quite a bit from country to country.

You're gonna need to come up with a better example, when covid hit a and fewer people where buying plane tickets there where a lot fewer planes in the air. Companies usually want to be as cost effective as possible, meaning they will do the least amount of work needed to still get their customers money.

One big problem that regulation can tackle is that corporations seek to externalize as much of their costs as they can, which means the corporation won't have to pay for the externalized cost, so they can sell their good/service cheaper, so consumption of the product increases, leading to an outsized environmental/societal cost compared to the cost of the product.

Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable

Straight fucking lie, the ones liable are the uploader and the host, which after official support ends is no longer the rights holders.

 

Disclaimer: All names contained in this post have been deliberately made public by the person themself.

Model makers, riggers, musicians, artists, and all others involved in the making of vtuber shows are all carefully credited, since it would obviously be reprehensible not to do so, but the actual performer that portrays the Idol goes entirely uncredited. The performers are all experienced entertainment industry professionals, Hololive does not and has never contracted unproven talent. Most of them have IMDB pages but universally their biggest and most prestigious work is not listed there, because Hololive forbids it.

When Rebecca Cardenas went independent as Dooby one of the very first things she did was make her identity public specifically to take credit for some previous work she's done. But even after going independent she is still seemingly contractually prohibited from taking credit for portraying Ame, something that might actually be illegal in my opinion. Rebecca should be able to list her time portraying Amelia Watson as part of her professional work experience.

I am not saying that all the talent should be forced to make their identities public, rather I think they should be credited by a name which they control. For example, the performer portraying Takanashi Kiara does not own that name and could not use that name when doing other work, but she does own the name Keekihime. So while some talent, like Karen Calanni playing Mori Calliope, would want to be credited by their real name, others, like Keekihime, might rather be credited by a stage name. The important part being that they control the name themselves and can use it as they wish.

Hololive refusing to credit the performers unfairly shackles them to the company and inhibits their professional careers, and that's messed up
