Looks like that's coming in Firefox 117 (we're at 115 currently).

A prominent S

I guess that's a 5, not an S, since it was the 5th Separate Assault Brigade that was involved.

They all migrate to USA in hope of getting jobs at big techs.

Eh... It's overrated. The pay is better, but otherwise it is definitely a downgrade. Maybe from east EU, it's a decent deal, from west EU, it's very disappointing. You basically end up thinking "but the money is good" over and over and wanting to go back to actual civilization.

/r/combatfootage on reddit. But you can also do it on twitter by following OSINT accounts (and you can combine the two). I just couldn't deal with the constant twitter BS anymore. They both mostly have "second hand" sources. First hand are telegram accounts, but I rather receive it filtered and sorted by votes, so I never went that far.

I'm following the combat activities (the actual combat, not high level strategic stuff). It's all mines, mines, mines and then some trench warfare.

No amount of ATACMS can do anything about that. You still have to advance slowly, figure out where the mines are, clean them up or move around them and then take the trenches.

Drones can do a whole lot more good for a whole lot less.

Society isn't really good at knowing what it requires. And sometimes it's better to be cautious. Also capitalism breaks down in certain markets, one of which is the "job market".

Any market that involves a lot of players and little oversight will get manipulated like crazy, including the job market. Employers try to counter that, but in the end the people that are best at getting hired for a job get that job, not the people that are best at doing that job. How could it not be?

And that includes the jobs of the people that do the hiring. So it's a market that's rife with inefficiencies.

Narrator: But in fact, he won't.

That's probably 150 aborted campaigns totaling 900 hours and two completed 25 hour each campaigns. Source: I'm at around 1500 hours, maybe 2000. A lot of it predates steam, so I don't know exactly.

I've only completed one campaign ever. At some point you know you've won and you're just steamrolling. So why bother.

Where Wansley and Weinstein break important new ground is on the other legal standard set by the Supreme Court: recoupment of losses. If Uber and WeWork and the rest of the unicorns are perpetual money losers, it sounds like the standard isn't met. But Wansley and Weinstein point out that it can be — even if the companies never earn a dime and even if everyone who invests in the companies, post-IPO, loses their bets. That's because the venture capitalists who seeded the company do profit from the predatory pricing. They get in, get a hefty return on their investment, and get out before the whole scheme collapses.

Yep. The venture capitalists found a loophole.

There's an unwritten deal, you know. Youtube lets us block and in return, we allow Youtube to know we block. Because if we take that away from Youtube, Youtube no longer has reliable viewer statistics and the price of their ads will go down.

Now it seems Youtube wants to break the deal (and they can, unless we start pirating Youtube content, they can at the very least make us sit through a minute of black screen before each video). They probably think the damage that will be done is less than the additional income that the subscriptions generate.

it's just the same old story. Grow, grow, grow, wait until you've got a monopoly, now squeeeeeeeeze the profit.

Twitter, Reddit, now Youtube. Welcome to the age of enshittification.

I love how the many users are quick to call mods power hungry.

@Hovenko wrote that really carefully. If you interpret it literally, it basically says "some moderators are addicted to power."

Which is true. You are also right, most aren't. But some are.
