I only know the ones they will willfully ignore for eternity

And why would Microsoft fix those when their paying customers even work for free?

Vampire Survivor.

I began playing it after so much praise from all over the place and it just uses predatory tactics to hook the gamer. I only had fun with the game for maybe a day or so but overall clocked in many more hours of hate-playing. The only good thing is that the developer (who's background is developing gambling games) does not use those tactics for microtransactions.

Once I deleted the game, I was never even tempted to go back.

A strong worded letter of condemnation.

And I don’t have a solution to what the best actions in this war are.

Here's the answer: For NATO to establish immediate and total superiority in Ukrainian air space and not wait until Ukrainians are trained, establish a DMZ on Russian and Belarusian territory around Ukraine.

I think that neither side should be ‘allowed’ to attack another country

And neither is. Russia broke several international laws, including the Budapest Memorandum which it signed on its own free will. Ukraine is not attacking, it's defending. Ukraine did not target anything that isn't directly connected to Russia's war effort. Military installations, military equipment factories, supply hubs, enlistment offices, and such are legitimate targets to defend itself. It's like kicking the knife out of the hands of a robber.

And I would prefer a more de-escalating attitude from the green party member Baerbock.

Which kind of deescalation? The Georgia 2008 kind? The Crimea 2014 kind? The Hitler Appeasement kind?

Putin is not my hero.

"Attacking russians (troops and inadvertently civilians) on russian soil… Why is that still considered defense?" You literally asked why attacking Russian troops is considered defense.

Lenovo makes great computers.

Used to. No longer.

No big software project can ever be fully free of bugs. Apparently it's not all jank all the time.

The plus side of this is that there's not the Android situation where you just won't get OS updates at some point. The downside is that the 1GHz Intel CPU is trash.

And this is why I choose Debian…

You mean the distribution where Canonical has in the past outright bought votes to align Debian closer to Ubuntu? If you think I'm making shit up, look up the fiasco that led to the insanely protracted (roughly a year) very public debate about making Upstart the default init system. Here's a tldr from a German IT website:

Besides SysV Init, which is currently used by Debian, there is Systemd, which is mainly developed by Red Hat, Canonical's own Upstart, and OpenRC, which is developed by Gentoo. Only Systemd and Upstart are believed to have a chance. It is unlikely that SysV Init will remain, OpenRC cannot keep up with Upstart or Systemd in terms of technology and innovation. More and more Linux distributions are turning to Systemd, while Upstart is currently used exclusively by Canonical, after Red Hat used it for RHEL 6 and Fedora 9, but is relying on Systemd for RHEL 7.

The two committee members who have already made their opinions known are former Canonical employee Ian Jackson and Russ Allbery. While Jackson favors Upstart, Allbery is clearly in favor of Systemd. Two other members, Colin Watson and Steve Langasek, both employed by Canonical, will probably only support Upstart. The other members are Don Armstrong, Andreas Barth and Keith Packard, newly elected to the committee, as well as chairman Bdale Garbee.

It's now less public but Canonical still has its tentacles in Debian with Snap and such.

I really don’t understand why they don’t use the Skype branding for the consumer version. They forgot how many billions they paid for that?

That happened in a past quarter. Money spent in past quarters doesn't matter. The next fiscal quarter is what matters.
