Reference 15 mentions this:

Likewise, Qatari funding is understood to support a constellation of international electronic media, such as Arabi Post, Arabi 21, and the Middle East Monitor to name just a few.

Technically the reference doesn’t provide evidence for it, but Wikipedia aren’t the arbiters of evidence or truth. They cite reputable sources, and if they conflict then they either mention that there are conflicting sources or in extreme cases pass a judgement on which is considered the more reliable source.

The source says it’s true, so that’s what Wikipedia followed.

? I quite literally don’t have this. So either I disabled it or it wasn’t there. I don’t remember it anyway and I can’t see it now either.

Yeah there’s been loads of threads with surprised Europeans when it comes to Windows ads, because we just don’t get them.

My EU Win11 doesn’t show any ads either.

No, they don’t want you selling Steam keys for cheap on other platforms.

Valve actually doesn’t earn anything from steam key sales. They don’t take the 30% cut on those, only on sales made in the Steam store. The only requirement Valve puts up is that you don’t start selling these steam keys (which are provided for free) cheaper than you can purchase the game in the Steam store.

I don’t see that hindering competition at all. It basically allows other marketplaces to sell Steam games, enabling competition in the first place.

Left-right on the D-pad is hardly a complex input. Just about every child managed to discover it. It was one of the few ways they could make Mario Kart a bit more skill based.

Hint, Palestine wasn’t there when Israel was created so that is Israel’s land

Israel wasn’t there when Israel was created either. This is some nonsense argumentation.

And B this most recent war was all started by Hamas.

Hamas has been in armed conflict with Israel for decades. I think you’re confusing peace with quiet. And even then there have been repeated attacks on Palestinian land by Israeli settlers.

There has never been an independent, sovereign Arab state in the region known as Palestine. The Arab population began developing a distinct Palestinian national identity toward the end of the Ottoman period and especially during the British Mandate in opposition to Jewish immigration and British rule.

Neither had there been a sovereign, independent Jewish state. There was however a semblence of a Palestinian national identity near the end of the Ottoman period, which is well before the establishment of Israel. Regardless, there were plenty of Arabic people living there. Zionist settlers had no right to colonise the region and drive these people from their homes.

You should really look into how Israel was established, especially look at the large amounts of Zionist terrorist groups seeking to commit ethnic cleansing. Jews had lived relatively peacefully in the region for centuries until these nationalist fanatics came along.

For those confused: it was the Dutch that placed the display panels about African American soldiers.

It was removed on orders of the Trump administration.

That’s not a Christmas celebration, and the Dutch authorities are actually pretty pissed about it, because the Americans had it removed.

You’re citing from a document criticizing the HLG. These are sources for that criticism.

These are not members of the HLG itself.

No, I was referring to the HLG that helped draft this legislation. We know who in the EU sent out the invitations, but requests to find out who was in the grouo were denied.

This is still (afaik) not public information.

I mean, Israel has killed significantly more people in Gaza than Hamas ever did in Israel. In the most recent conflict Israel killed 35 Palestinians for every Israeli killed. Israel has also caused significantly more property damage to civilian infrastructure.

I would not want to live under Hamas control, certainly. But I also would not like to live next to Israel either.

What statistic are you using to measure “worst” here?

That scrotum is just the current driver, but they’re probably referring to some unnamed lobbying group that’s been pushing for this for years. I’m not sure the identity of that group was ever revealed.

So did Albert Einstein’s Canadian girlfriend

Weren’t there also some (conspiracy) theories that Epstein was a Mossad agent? Him brokering deals between Israel and others plays right into that narrative.

They live in the ocean, we don’t.

I still wonder where Grok picked up the whole MechaHitler-spiel. It pretty consistently named itself that, so surely it was in the system prompt?

The transphobic argument isn’t that you’d be gay for dating someone who used to be a dude, in their view you’re currently dating someone who still is a dude.

These kinds of imaginary clapbacks are fun but usually end up fairly unconvincing to (transphobic) people.

Counterpoint: If there’s anyone who doesn’t promote Windows and actively dislikes it, it’s Windows users.

You really won’t short something, and wooden toothpicks are at risk of splintering and leaving more behind than getting out if you’re not careful.
