I was going to use communities as my examples due to the relatively small size of each, but decided country was a better metaphor due to each instance’s ability to fully control their own rules or “laws”, where as communities in the real world are usually beholden to the higher laws of their countries.

No, each instance is more like a country with it’s own laws, and trade agreements with other countries to share or block content.

Yep, Bing is pretty solid as far as search engines go.

For someone like OPs mom it would be more than good enough is my point. She’s saying she wished something existed that does indeed exist.

Of course, and much of it is on the app store now (which I rarely use myself), but for someone like OPs mom who just wants an easy app store, well there is one.

Yes, I read that. A couple thousand people out of billions of users were affected, and the problem was resolved. It’s really not as big of an issue as you’re making it out to be.

What crap machine are you running? I can open the store on my Surface 3 I’ve had for nearly a decade.

I don’t think getting instagram, or photoshop off the microsoft store is giving anyone a virus. And I’ve never gotten a virus from it in the few times I’ve used it.

Sure, but pretty much every common application most people use is available, which is fine for the majority of people such as OPs mom.

But Windows does have an app store, and has for ages now.

Palestine didn’t exist as a state and never did until the same time as Israel. That land was part of the Ottoman empire, and then the British mandate. before that it was controlled by various empires throughout history. Both the Palestinians and Israelis are indigenous to that land, and if Palestine and other Arab nations hadn’t tried to wipe out the Jews in 1948 the moment Israel was established, maybe Israel wouldn’t be trying to take what’s left of Palestine.

And no, I’m not trolling you, I think you’re an idiot.

Jews are indigenous to that land as well, so no they aren’t colonizing it, they are living in their homeland.

Hamas is targeting civilians, or are you forgetting the 1,400 Israeli civilians killed on Oct 7th, and hundreds taken hostages, not to mention the thousands of rockets fired before and since Oct. 7th at Israeli civilians.

The only reason more Palestinian civilians have died is not for lack of Hamas trying. Israel is just better at defending the own people than Hamas is.

Hamas is actively trying to genocide Israelis. Hamas is evil, it’s not complicated.

I started getting the 5 second delay 2 weeks ago as well. Started out of nowhere and I thought it was my connection at first, but nope, only YouTube has this issue for me, and only in Firefox.

I was wondering why YouTube started taking a while to load pages in the last couple weeks. Fucking Google, pulling this shit.

No, that attack was confirmed to be Islamic Jihadists, and it was confirmed Hamas lied.

And your forgetting all the heinous shit Palestine did to make Israel like it is today, like trying to wipe out all the Jews as soon as Israel was formed, launching another war against them in 1967, 30 years of having a government that wanted Israel wiped out as their second charter.

There are no good guys, but Hamas are terrorists and need to be wiped out.

Most independent sources I’ve seen reporting on numbers have been Palestinians. The UN is not reporting on casualties because it cannot verify any of the claimed numbers.

And Hamas lied about 500 Palestinians being killed in one attack on a hospital by Israel, except it turned out that attack was actually Islamic Jihadists misfiring, and nowhere near 500 people died.

Hamas verifiably made up that 5% of the casualties in this war, so no, you shouldn’t believe the rest of their numbers.

And Hamas has fired thousands of rockets into Israeli territory since Oct. 7th, that goes beyond defending yourself in a hospital.

And the bombing and siege warfare started after Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand civilians, and fired thousands of rockets at Israeli cities.

There is video of weapons fire coming from hospitals, so we do have that.

And Hamas is constantly lying too, yet everyone on this site seems to eat up everything they say.

I said post WW1, on multiple occasions.

WW1 ended in 1918. You’re missing some vital years there mate.

No, there was a massive Arab immigration into the area following WW1 and the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Most of the current Palestinians have only been there for 100 years.

And I’m following it’s original meaning, because that is how Hamas means it. How are you so blind to that? You seem to get all your news from the Euro med Monitor, a propaganda organization with no verifiable sources.
