Have Windows users ever wanted a single thing they added since XP?

The new terminal for example is a rather neat improvement over the old command prompt, especially with the integration of Linux systems. Winget also is rather nice. Just two examples. So yeah with all the valid criticism Microsoft deserves for quite a bit of policies, I don’t think your hyperbole holds up.

As long as it’s a easily toogled off as the search bar is, I don’t mind.

Them getting rid of the ability to have different windows of the same kind with full title bar next to each other IMHO is a much bigger pain.

No worries, it’s quite an odd behaviour. It was the same back on Reddit. No idea if there is a good reason for it or if they copied it to be the same as with Reddit.

Next time use two line breaks after each line and it will work.

Increasingly more often in the last year or two. Makes social media use for me a lot more pleasant. But sometime I still can’t resist.

More or less safe. Predators often camp these choke points for obvious reasons.

Prisoners are found guilty of a crime by a court system and then safely put away, since they have still rights.

Yeah about that …

“In administrative detention, a person is held without trial without having committed an offense, on the grounds that he or she plans to break the law in the future. As this measure is supposed to be preventive, it has no time limit. The person is detained without legal proceedings, by order of the regional military commander, based on classified evidence that is not revealed to them. This leaves the detainees helpless – facing unknown allegations with no way to disprove them, not knowing when they will be released, and without being charged, tried or convicted.”

There’s no need to pretend. A war crime doesn’t justify the other side to commit one in return. The international law certainly doesn’t support a kind of tally system to check if one side still has committed to many crimes and a few more against them are OK.

How do they maintain morale for the remaining troops if they execute their own?

They don’t care about morale. They rule their troop with brutal means.

And how would they recruite fresh ones if this will be the possible fate of the troops?

Through forced conscription.

Not defending Russia, but I believe most militaries have rules on the books saying that field executions for disobeying orders are a necessary part of war.

The last time western powers seriously used this was WW1. WW1 was quite famous and hated exactly because of the flippant use of executions of soldiers who weren’t willing or able to follow horrific orders. After that you’ll find a hard time to find examples. Especially after WW2. I certainly haven’t heard of a single US soldier for example who was executed in the field in Iraq or Afghanistan nor any death penalty even when found guilty of serious charges against them like Abu Ghraib.

So yeah, no. Russia isn’t just doing what every other military is doing as well.

For the people where 24h time is normal …. Is that a more recent development it’s the ubiquity of digital clocks, or would people have also used 24h time with analog clocks, despite them not having a way to display that?

I’ve been born in central Europe in the 80’s before digital clocks became the norm. 24h was normal even then when writing the precise time. For example in TV schedules. When talking we normally use 12h but without adding AM or PM as it most often is obvious from the context. When it’s not then we add “in the morning” “at night”. Actually speaking time in a 24h format is very rare. But since it’s always encountered in writing, every child learns very early how the 24h system works.

With the natural resources they have, they could have been a major member of the EU providing their people a lifestyle similar to Norway. But no, after the fall of the USSR they decided to go full speed towards a dictatorship. Such a shame.

Oh come on. How dare you to stand in their way of judgement day with your silly care for other human beings? ^/s

Wait! You actually think that they use common PR methods to get as much attention to their cause as possible? Who would have thought!

Wait until you find out that Rosa Parks didn’t just randomly decided to sit in front of the bus but was working with the civil rights movement the whole time!

In fact, there’s no guarantee that key Hamas leaders are even still in Gaza right now, as they could have easily fled the area.

They never were in the first place. It’s well known that the key leaders are sitting in luxury in Qatar.

That kind of language really isn’t that uncommon from Likud members. They very often use language and threaten “solutions” which are alarmingly similar to what the Nazis said about the Jews.

Yeah, somehow I doubt that Mossad will go after the leaders hiding in Qatar. And that’s not because they can’t, there are a lot of Nazis who could vouch for their capabilities when it comes to assassinate people in other countries.

Exactly. Leningrad 2.0 certainly wouldn’t look good for Israel.

It both is the case. But it should be really obvious to anyone that even a horrific terrorist attack doesn’t just absolve Israel from international law.

Exactly. Oh no, you can’t respect her? Luckily respect really isn’t necessary when it comes to arrests.
