During the pandemic any degree of effectiveness would save lives, so emergency approval was justified.
What? Pretty sure the requirement of effectiveness was at least 70%, and the approved vaccines had a >90% effectiveness. Obviously as the virus mutated the effectiveness nosedived, but they were very effective against the original strain. (edit: Effectiveness versus getting infected at all, not against serious illness and death, which remains good)
The 5GB free space of my OneDrive is filled with game saves in the documents folder. You can’t exclude directories there from being backed up. Good job.
Seems like you’re pretty far from getting it.
2·5 months agoI read newspapers in several languages and see your strawman in comments all over the world: Criticizing Israel means supporting Hamas.
In reality pretty much everyone is explicitly not supporting Hamas terrorists while arguing for a stop to the Israeli atrocities.
It’s not supporting Hamas to point out that Israel is doing horrible things.

Alt is easily reached with the thumbs and shift is already close enough to the home row, with shift-ctrl using both pinkies.
If being against murder, war crimes, and genocide is being an antisemite, then so be it. I will be a proud antisemite. It will be a badge of honor.
Your understanding is that in one of the countries with the least difference between rich and poor only the rich can afford cars?
Of course not. But they can, whenever they choose to. Parent comment said they have to grow since they are public, unlike private companies like Reddit.
Are you not aware that public companies split the profits too? They do not need to grow to have value for investors.

Good for Apple, Valve and Google, but I think it’s better that game dev studios and app developers get money instead. However, devs don’t currently have a real choice but to pay up.
Competition can change that, so we should support technically worse stores like Epic so developers will not have to pay their unreasonably high fees.
Yeah, I understand why people like and buy from Steam. It gives real value.
However, especially for smaller game studios, I believe I get more value if actual game developers get more money than Steam getting it. Let’s say a studio gets $1m in revenue after years of work. Having $180k more ($120k Epic fee vs $300k Steam fee) to spend on artists and developers for their next games/DLCs is a big difference.
Those $300k is literally 0.003409% of Steam’s revenue (estimated 8.8 billion in 2020). Valve could have an army of over 40,000 developers at a yearly $200k compensation and still be profitable just from selling other people’s games.
So I make a big convenience sacrifice when I buy from Epic. I also don’t like to support Tencent. But unless the dev is selling Steam keys directly from their web site, that’s where they get the most money.
Steam is a better product, but you give less money to the developers of the actual game. Unless it has Steam exclusives (e.g. Steam workshop) I would rather buy wherever I give the devs most money.
Yes, those are all unreasonably high, which is why they have so many billions of dollars in profit. The cost of running their services is a pittance compared to their revenues.
