https://chinatribunal.com/final-judgement-report/

quote:

These individual conclusions, when combined, led to the unavoidable final conclusion that;

Forced organ harvesting has been committed for years throughout China on a significant scale and that Falun Gong practitioners have been one – and probably the main – source of organ supply. The concerted persecution and medical testing of the Uyghurs is more recent and it may be that evidence of forced organ harvesting of this group may emerge in due course. The Tribunal has had no evidence that the significant infrastructure associated with China’s transplantation industry has been dismantled and absent a satisfactory explanation as to the source of readily available organs concludes that forced organ harvesting continues till today.


This is probably a decent target for your wrath?

Tbh I am not sure it's even adware, since it doesn't generate revenue like usual ads - no money for display, no money for click, it installs with your knowledge.

Yes, I know I am being anal about this, what can you do.

Since we are going full anal-retentative on the launcher discussion, I will add my 2 cents.

I don't believe a 3rd party model and lack of user consent for installation are mandatory for an application to be classified as adware:

And Activision almost certainly has some sort of method for benchmarking their spa ... uh I mean "in-app value added services" campaigns.

Some real hot takes in this thread. Kind of like when the boxing thread was trying to have a chat about the death toll in boxing and how it might be bad to glorify it and people started bringing up sweatshops or whatever because they're worse. Pretty spicy all round.

Oh and I'm gonna get a special credit for when Star Citizen actually gets released. Trying to get a couple of other thread regulars (mods not included, sorry boys) added to the list but its tough. I learned recently that if you add too many characters to the credits.txt file it hard crashes the game half-way through the credit crawl and it displays a "Thanks for playing my game, signed by Chris Roberts" message.

Oh, that's just a cyclical change in the climate brought on by the exhaust gasses from the dominant lifeform; it'll self-correct shortly, and the good news is it'll be a lot less crowded down the shops.

Breaking News: Epic Games announces pineapple pizza will be an epic games store exclusive!



In other news, Chris Roberts announces SC will not have pineapples any time soon.

According to Roberts "Watermellon killed the game engine when we added it, there's no way our devs could handle something as complex as a pineapple at this time." Roberts however assured fans that a tier-0 pineapple implementation would be on the road map at some point in the future.

Critics have stated that pineapples in SC would be impossible due to the difficulty in mocapping a piece of fruit. But according to Roberts "we managed to get a somewhat human mocap performance from Sandi, I feel like pineapples would be easy by comparison. "

Ex-Theranos CEO, Stanford dropout Elizabeth Holmes’ trial delayed until August 2020

quote:

The defense hopes to prove government agencies were more influenced to investigate Theranos than other companies based on communications with Carreyrou, as opposed to pure suspicion of illegal activity.

“An outside actor, eager to break a story (and portray the story as a work of investigative journalism), was exerting influence on the regulatory process in a way that appears to have warped the agencies’ focus on the company and possibly biased the agencies’ findings against it,” states Theranos’ case against the government.

Theranos’ defense also urges the jury to believe that federal officials overreacted in response to Carreyrou’s 2015 article and misunderstood the inner workings of Theranos.
