Unfortunately verbally its a confusing distinction but I agree its seems more consistent

I’ve gone from NZ -> UK -> EU

And along the way I did say I was an expat (in the UK), because I didn’t want to stay and get citizenship but instead the intention was to stay a NZer and eventually return (though also because expat felt like a British term I used it more)

Now that I’m in the EU with an intention to stay here forever I label myself as an immigrant, because of that change in intent

Just a personal anecdote, but maybe there’s some useful commentary on how people perceive it

Grandma uses Signal, it looks like a normal texting app, nothing special

Having to go through 5+ pages deep to just request the PDF copy of a bill, sometimes requiring multiple logins of different versions of the same site because they haven’t migrated everything under one login

I think its because Counterstrike really does fit this “most basic multiplayer” where its just a game of “click on someone else faster”

The entrypoint to playing is pretty low, easy to setup during a LAN, easy to jump in with friends without huge commitments, conceptually it takes one game to just “get it”

But Valorant kind of breaks a few of those rules because it adds chaotic abilities and roles for agents, new things can show up in later games, maybe just enough for some to hate it and others to enjoy

The companies who are training AI… On Linux servers?

Wait no, obviously smaller actors you’re referring to with your mysterious comment.

Or maybe all the follow on tech companies that are the largest customers using AI aaand who also mostly use Linux

No no I’ve got it wrong, US government entities want a backdoor so restrict AI releasing, then during that window exploit non-US companies using Linux

Is this considered bad news if its labeled incorrectly because of lobbying from the tourism industry?
