You do understand that late 00s is when pro-Ukrainian president in Ukraine have been elected, and russia was using economic pressure as an instrument to make him unpopular and, as a result, installed pro-russian puppet Yanukovich?

And instantly all the gas issues vanished, 30% discount was given, in exchange for permission to extend Russia's lease of a major naval base in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Sevastopol for an additional 25 years - the soldiers from this base occupied Crimea in 2014.

NS2 should not have existed in the first place. Don't you feel shame for building huge pipeline around whole Eastern Europe just so your trade wouldn't be interrupted as russia invades everything? Because you should feel the shame. It have been built when russia already invaded Ukraine.

And yes, it wasn't yet used, but almost finished state of it gave russia more courage to launch full scale invasion.

My brother in Christ, autocorrect & glide typing was AI-driven before all the genAI/LLM hype.

Like I understand that if I buy a phone from Apple, and they control everything on the phone and what I can install - well I mean I bought it from Apple, what else did I expect?

But I didn't buy my phone from Google. They should have no say in what I could or couldn't install.

They aren't involved in canon setting, at least yet. But there was a period of "hat set" in-universe sets when quality of art and lore of main sets dropped. Although last few were very decent.

Yes, they aren't just reprints under new names now. They are full sets of some IP without in-universe cards to match them. They are cards that likely won't be reprinted ever (because due to IP they don't even own them, can't reprint on-whim). Which means those "The One Ring" and the likes are only gonna grow in price. Heck, even playable commons like "Loriel Revealed".

They also aren't owning rights for digital distribution on some of those IP even and in Magic Arena those cards are replaced with something else in-universe-ish which doesn't exist in paper.

In Magic: the Gathering people are discussing "universe beyond" sets. Those are foreign IPs like Doctor Who, LoTR, Marvel, Fallout, Sonic etc injected into magic, which already had fucking good setting and lore.

It brings them lots of money, at least short term, while destroying the game we love.

So, downvote all the threads?

If they are looking for the ones to blame, jail Merkel. Her sabotage made the country dependent on russian resources while russian invasion was already ongoing.

Shizuku is installing via adb

Shizuku + Obtainium might still be an option.
