UN Watch is an israeli lobby... It's basically a fake think tank. It's exactly the point of the linked article...

Can you name a country that targeted and killed deliberately more than 360 journalists in less than 3 years ?

According to UN, reporters without borders, Stop Killing Journalists, International Federation of Journalists, and the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Israel has killed more journalists in 180 days than all major conflicts around the world since World War 1.

Israel has colonized Palestine for over 70 years. Israel invaded Gaza after they flattened it.

Palestinians accepted almost all peace deals, they freed the hostages, yet, Israel kept on bombing Gaza, targeting journalists and civilians.

It seems that the biggest problem is that Israel doesn't want a palestinian state and if they need to commit a genocide, they'll be glad to do it.

You think Meta would spy less on us and show us less ads if we payed to access their services ? They would just keep doing what they've been doing for ages and they would have even more money to keep their enshitification going.

We are already paying too much for all the services with subscription. Like Spotify, Netflix and others...

Yet, Plaion and SNK are re-releasing the original Neo Geo AES with old big cartridges and they managed to be the best selling console on Amazon for a few weeks. They plan to release new games on 1:1 replica cartridges that will work on a 1991 console. The pre-orders are massive.

Consumers are actually pushing back. Consumers show that even an 35 years old console and 90€ games can sell easily if it comes in a big beautiful box and with the assurance you'll be able to play in 15 years.

Same as killing Palestinian and Yemeni kids if some westerner need a transplant, I guess ?

That's great to read. I've used Windows for years for music production and recording, due to lot's of audio interfaces which performed best on Windows than on Mac and Linux.

In lot's of recording studio I went, they almost always have Windows with Cubase in a case of something wrong with Mac and Pro Tools.

Being African doesn't mean being less educated or less ambitious, nor living closer to "traditional lifestyle" whatever it is supposed to mean.

After trying to school me about my country, you know try to school me about my own family... My great-father fought against France during the war in 60s. My mother grew up during the algerian civil war. One of the refugee I had at home was reduced in slavery in 2015 (he was 17).

You want a time when humans were less racist ? Well.. I don't know.. Perhaps few years ago when far-right racist parties in Europe made up less than 30% in votes.

> If anyone feels negative, I recommend seeing a psychologist. There is no reason for anyone not to feel exceptionally optimistic about the future these days!

This is your point and I don't agree. Saying things are the best they've been is wrong. Things are the best for you. Not for "the vast majority of us". It is the best for the small minority. And no. It's not improving every day. In my first comment, I posted links with number of slaves all around the world and migrants dying, growing year after year.

Please, understand that while you feel optimistic, the majority of us, don't. Saying that we should see a psychologist is just rude. It seems that you are unable to understand other people feelings, thus, I would recommend you to see a psychologist.

Have you ever tried to seek for basic rights and support for migrants in EU ? I help lot's of immigrants in France. I'm always told that France is very generous and that it's easy to have healthcare, easy to go to a doctor for free.

Yet, in my experience, it's horribly difficult and expensive.

It is a consensus among sociological studies. Statistics are not studies. It means nothing.

Let's find another tool that enables the same, while not doating money to a racist political party.

You're confusing causation and correlation. There are no links between asylum seekers, refugees and gangs, and crimes.

What leads to crime is not welcoming refugees, it's leaving people on the back in a state of precariousness.

Thank you for schooling me. I'll tell my family in Algeria that they should be happy to live in the most comfortable and democratic time in all of human History and tell them to see a psychologist. I'll also tell the refugees I host at home for free(taking legal risks), that they should be happy to have access to the best education and best technology. Perhaps I should go to therapy indeed. I'm sure the police will stop harassing me due to my skin color. I'll tell them that I'm the 1%.

You sound like you're from EU, well, there are plenty of Syrians, maybe you should try to talk to some of them. It's cheaper than a psychologist.

Ah yes ! You should have said that to the 10 000 people who died while trying to migrate to another country, due to drone wars, financial crisis and climate change. [1] And you should also have said that to the Congolese children who died while mining for the natural resources used to produce components for the AI datacenters. And yes, the future we're living in is wonderful for the 50 millions slaves all around the world to build things we don't really need. [2]

Perhaps they should have seen a psychologist. When we'll lose our jobs due to AI, we'll all have plenty of time to go to psychologist, indeed.

Yes, a union is a way to gather forces, not only in your company, but also in broader spaces. It's easier for a union (even of two) to ask to meet your local elected officials, to seek legal support, advices from other union.

If you make electronic music using only virtual instruments and effects, it's ok. But if you play live, record live bands with lot's of mics and need to use physical hardware. Neither Mac nor Linux are an option.

Lot's of interface simply work best with Window.
