Isn't .org reserved for non-profit websites though? At least on the basis of internet etiquette? Some .io websites I know are completely monetized and about making money. And of course not everyone can afford a .com domain with a cool name right off the bat.

You nailed to describe my frustration with Frontier perfectly. They really are the EA of Zoo and Theme Park games to the point I'm not buying their games anymore even when they're well made on a technical level and interesting to me. They're just way too greedy.

What's next? Temu as your default search engine? The hotline to your nearest car dealership? Maybe just sit a tea leaf reader next to your desk to answer your questions. The possibilities are endless!

It also builds coal power plants. How is it going to reduce emissions exactly?

That was only for businesses that for whatever reason couldn't update to Win10. Normal users weren't eligible to get milked.

Sounds like they're about to get sued by the EU because they're basically asking you to pay again for a product you have already paid for. Discontinuing a service that was advertised as the "last windows you'll ever need" is one thing, but sending you another bill on a whim is something entirely different. Microsoft might just have ensured the longevity of Win10 for the foreseeable future without making much if any profit from it.

And that seems to be the general consensus on the term screen time. Most of the time they only assume social media on a mobile phone specifically, leaving out TVs, game consoles or even desktop PCs or Laptops. And by they I mean journalists, content creators themselves and of course scientists who release studies. It's very ironic because all of those groups accumulated screen time to release their findings.

Right? I was just thinking that entire countries run on chips so it sort of sounds about right at least.

Death to Ubisoft. Let's make an example out of them by simply laughing from the sidelines while they bury themselves.

Do you honestly believe the USSR honored it's constitution? There were referendums because the dictator at the time decided to allow it. If Putin or Stalin were in charge at the time, this wouldn't have happened just like the decades of suppression and exploitation prior. It's very disrespectful and somewhat unhinged to claim all those vassal states had a choice all along and wanted to be part of the soviet union just because they were granted the privilege in the very end when the regime lost it's grip anyway. The truth is Moscow couldn't hold them together for much longer. Most of those states would just revolt even more so than they already did anyway.

Because yes, of course they tried to free themselves in the past but didn't have the means to do so previously. Similarly, Russia's vassal states today have no choice, as all elections and referendums are only for show and all leaders are installed by the Kreml.

Long story short: Constitutions in autocracies are worth as little as the paper they're written on.

I don't like the question because Putin being a good guy is unthinkable to me. Good guys aren't in Russian politics, or at least not for long. But let's say Russia had a halfway decent leadership where smart guys don't fall out of windows. With their vast landmass, resources and workforce, they could easily be the third largest economy in the world again instead of not even making it into the top ten on their way to fall behind Mexico.

The USSR was a formidable power because of vassal states also known as good old imperialism, something Putin desperately tries to replicate. The mindset of Russia's leaders today isn't so different from Soviet times.
