- Comment on Nearly 20% of cancer drugs defective in 4 African nations 5 days ago:
I think it was supposed to portray second hand/dubious origin medications being sorted through rather than a pick n mix.
Undoubtedly there was art direction but I expect that from pretty much every photo ever taken.
Either way I think it would be on the articles author for the picture choice rather than the photographer. I don’t think Getty lets you deny who gets to use your photos.
- Comment on Surprise! Nuclear Throne has a new update that's mostly for people that insist on only playing games that can do 60fps 6 days ago:
I am not sure. If my game is running at 30 it is usually dropping frames as well. I didn’t know nuclear Throne was 30fps for instance. That being said I don’t remember playing Nuclear Throne at all and I have every achivement on steam…

She is/was a Central African Republic correspondant. A lot of her photos are going to have Africans in them.
I dug a bit: CAFRICA-HEALTH-POVERTY Stephen Hyppolite Liosso Pivara Bembe, a former medical student who was never able to finish his studies, sifts though medicines in the small street pharmacy he owns in Bangui, on 21 February 2022. Informal pharmacies are vital for the poorest population of this Central African country, the second least developed in the world according to the UN and in civil war for 10 years. But there is a flip side to the coin: proliferation of poor quality or fake drugs, resistance to antibiotics, illegal practice of medicine.

She has quite a few of Stephen doing tasks in his Pharmacy.

I can’t tell the difference between 60fps and 165fps unless side by side. Just throwing that out there. As long as the frame rate is stable and not hitching I can’t tell. I just don’t see a difference.
- Comment on Helldivers 2's post-death and destruction Super Earth rebuild begins, financed by more death and destruction 1 week ago:
Plas-39 accelarator rifle, gp-31 ultamatum as secondary and stalwart as support.
Accelarator to take out the annoying heavy armoured guys, ultamatum to blow up ships in 1 hit and stalwart to take out the hordes.
Only issue I have is the strafing runs and my friend sitting still to shoot at hordes instead of completing the objectives. They keep coming if you sit still. All 3 enemies keep coming if you sit still. Move!

Don’t they take a 30% cut?
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 2 weeks ago:
I remember a time when ads were loud, obnoxious and popped out. So I’m fine with minimal sidebar and an ad at the start middle if the video was long enough and at the end.
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 2 weeks ago:
What they had like 10 years ago a couple ads here and there. Not 5 minutes ad 5 minutes ad 5 minutes ad 5 minutess ad.

My work hate Microsoft but don’t see a viable alternative. Microsoft is safer because of their stranglehold.
- Comment on The american crypto mafia 4 weeks ago:
It has their name and where it came from so. Yes? Are you expecting people to direct link everything even when it is already atributed? Sure. That’s nice, but I don’t see it as necessary.
We are lucky it wasn’t reposted from somewhere with the attribution removed and the souce is not known.
- Comment on The american crypto mafia 4 weeks ago:
It’s more than most get with people always removing attribution.

It’s in the bottom right.
- Comment on Although modern horoscopes typically consist of life advice, it's almost certainly terrible advice because it was written by someone who failed at legitimate or useful employment. 4 weeks ago:
From covid I have learnt the only real jobs are Retail, anything to do with logistics, and food production. You know the jobs with crap pay.

Can I have indicators that are in the same place on all cars and not buried in the headlight? That’d be cool.
- Comment on Spain, the only major European country to extradite people to China despite the ‘generalized violence’ in its prisons 5 weeks ago:
Don’t you see that as a separate issue? Two things can be bad at once so either you believe China is not doing what the USA is doing or you do and don’t care because the USA extradition treaty makes that okay.
The USA extradition treaty doesn’t matter for this. That is still going to suck no matter what.
- Comment on Spain, the only major European country to extradite people to China despite the ‘generalized violence’ in its prisons 5 weeks ago:
Glad you agree nobody should be extradited to either country.

- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 5 weeks ago:
Valve doesn’t make money from keys on the grey market. Only on games bought through Steam, what do you want them to do?
They are the pioneers of lootboxes. No denying that.

I used it like 3 times before deciding my read later functionality is already and better served by the 206 tabs I will never look at.

- Comment on Robot chefs take over at South Korea’s highway restaurants, to mixed reviews 1 month ago:
Onto the mugs? I’ve never seen that happen to mugs, plates sure. Either way you can now get a sponge and clean that one problem mug rather than everything. Saves you so much time.

- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 1 month ago:
Lutris and steam do most of the heavy lifting for you. Driver side should work with no fiddling required for AMD atleast, somebody with Nvidia can chime in if it’s the same for them too.
You may need to add a couple Launch options for certain games on steam here and there or swap proton versions.
Games do sometimes break but then you wait a day or two and it’s usually fixed.
Question is what games are you playing? If it’s CoD and Fortnite I’d say stick with Windows, they won’t work.

- Comment on China’s Xi Jinping likens ‘US hegemony’ to ‘fascist forces’ ahead of Vladimir Putin summit 1 month ago:
It was such a short comment that they wrote. Do you have short term memory loss
A. Yes it’s a short comment thats part of my point.
B. Don’t be a dick.
Is this saying Trump is isolating America? No. It is saying that Xi isn’t wrong about fascist forces but specifically under this current administration, contrasting it with prior administrations.
Yeah being specific about current events. Do you not think Trump is blatantly courting fascists?
You can say the other admistrations are fuckers and still think the current admin is worse.
A full 50% of their comment was NOT about isolating America.
So half was. That’s a good chunk of a comment to say. The Trump admin is acting more isolationist than the Biden admin.
- Comment on China’s Xi Jinping likens ‘US hegemony’ to ‘fascist forces’ ahead of Vladimir Putin summit 1 month ago:
Not the person you replied to.
Why did you write that list? All they said was Trump is isolating America.
