The fact that PiS is terrible is clear indication that they have a bad agenda behind this move. In some countries, it is illegal to promote racist speech, or to call for violent actions, etc. These countries define a limit to free speech. M

Not all countries react poorly, some even reacts pretty well, so that's not an attribute of our species. If anything, that's more an attribute of the maturity of a society.

It's changing the focal length of the lens (roughly the distance between focus points of the lens). If you rotate the scene, you see the lens is blue. Further in the article, they mention the focal length, using the same coloring.

Yeah, problem is that God is not a singleton. Well, it meant to be, but unfortunately, before God appeared, appropriate locking and concurrency was not created yet. So lock-free mechanism was used instead, and it ... failed. So now we have
