Look, (ethnic) Russian, (ethnic) Caucasians and Tatars do not look alike. Same in Congo with the Bantu, Pygmy and Nilotic. You are not even choosing good examples for your arguments. Most ethnics conflicts in the world might not even skin c

Copyright infringement is still big in Youtube. It is flooded with stolen content. Big things The Simpson or Family guy or even full films. But also compilation channels from other Youtubers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

Decentralization of power is not always better. It is one of the reasons that China could improve its economy faster than India, for example. Projects like Galileo are impossible without centralization. If the EU did not exist Trump could b

That is like one Lord of The Rings or six 1984 every two years. A month and change for Animal Farm. Two months for "man bash". It sounds like a full time job.

What does it mean "oriented to old people"? Old people can play anything, they just have slower reflexes. Silver Snipers are 60-80 years old and play Counter Strike: https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/20&#x

I am not sure if losing Facebook access counts as losing any kind of "technology". They cannot block the use of their FOSS code in Europe, isn't? I am not sure the impact of closing their offices in Europe, though I am sure
