I don't dispute your claims, but I remember very clearly that back then it seemed obvious that SteamOS was a response to the Microsoft Store and a fear that Microsoft would mandate that all software on Windows come from the Microsoft S

I get that that's not what you meant by "Middle Easterners" but for what it's worth I think most foreigners would find themselves feeling quite welcome in Israel, as most people would feel happy that you decided to come

Copyright law does not stop large media corporations from copying because the original work itself is not what they need. Which would be more popular: Fortnite or "PUBG - Epic's Edition"? Do you really envision a small creato

With no copyright law, how would they own anything? If anything, I'd expect the funding will go to those who can sustain themselves on things like Patreon and Kickstarter, where money is provided before the work is created, making the

I think you misread it, the linked study shows that HamasIsIsis is also a suppressed tag. They are suppressing pro-Israel content and promoting pro-Palestine content.

For rating media I (internally) do 1-10 with 5 in the middle! 1 is worst, 5 is neutral, 9 is best and 10 is "personal favourite". This goes really well with the fact that not everything I really like is actually great so I can ack
