As always, it depends on what style you're talking about. For mainstream EDM? Sure I won't fight your figure. But for underground techno (among many others), you're delusional if you think the majority of djs play pre-recorded mixes.
While I agree with the general sentiment of your comment, the specific example you used is not really relevant: MrBeast is not on twitch, and his revenue comes from youtube ads and brand partnerships. He also has 'classic' merch and several companies (burgers, chocolate bars), but he doesn't bring in any money from subscriptions/donations the way twitch streamers or onlyfan creators do.
Just because you know exactly what you mean (which in itself could be questioned), it's just ridiculous to expect anyone else to.
FWIW where I'm from and in my social circles, the other two religions get joked about way more.
Unfortunately the Overwatch system has been disabled for years, and we currently have no reason to think it will be reopened for CS2.
I take this opportunity to share this great talk about Valve's usage of deep learning to fight cheating in CS:GO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTiP0zKF9bc

Some context: one of the most important skills to master in CS is "counter-strafing", aka stopping your current movement at the right timing, to have perfect accuracy when shooting. If you're currently strafing right, you have to lift your finger from D and tap A before being able to shoot accurately.
Recently, some hardware manufacturers included features at the firmware level to make this automatic for you: if you currently have D pressed, and just tap A, the keyboard will stop pressing D for you, even if your finger is still on the key. There were a lot of discussion withing the community, and the professional scene, about whether or not these hardware features should be allowed or not, as they remove a big part of what's needed to actually master movement in the game.
Yesterday, Valve stepped in and decided that they wouldn't allow these features, kicking you from servers if you're detected to use them. At initial release it looks like false positives are possible as many people reported getting kicked without using them, but this should be fixed soon. Another issue people have is that they effectively also banned "jumpthrows", aka binds allowing you to throw nades perfectly everytime, a feature that had been allowed (and even somewhat implemented by Valve themselves) for years.

If the objective is to absolutely always avoid reading between the lines, then yes you're correct.

Ironic that you describe what's been going on in gaza for years.
So the logic here is, because 80% of a population living in an open air prison for several decades support attacks on the people oppressing them, they deserve to be tortured?

Notably, tournament organizers will no longer be able to operate closed leagues where teams pay for their spot and get to be invited to every event, no matter their performances. They also introduce their own ranking algorithm for professional teams.
You can buy paper tickets with cash at any metro station in Paris.

Ah yes indeed, but I don't think it can be controlled if you're using a physical keyboard. For instance if I play using the keypad on my keyboard, 1 could be pianissimo and 9 fortissimo.
Love it! It could be even more awesome if the velocity of each key press had an impact of the volume, that way we could control two properties at once.

A relative of mine got scammed for tens of thousands of dollars exactly this way. They are college educated, COO of the company they founded in the US, and thought they were just making a new friend over several months after receiving a message that was addressed to them by error.
Not sure if you knew this but it is actually explicitly asked in the HN guidelines: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

On french facebook there's a whole community that's actually exactly subreddits, it's called "neurchi de [...]" ("neurchi" is "chineur" reversed, which translates to "bargain hunter"). Any niche, or not niche, topic has its neurchi group that range from low hundreds to 100,000+ for some.
So should we apply the same thinking with police constantly inciting violence at protests ? At this point anytime there's a major protest in France, I consider it a win if no one in the crowd lost an eye, hand or worse, their life, from the grenades thrown by police.
I think you misunderstood OP's comment, they were talking about _economy class_ in airplanes, not school classes.
> no one talks about Linux and it’s inconsistencies which are much more significant.
Except that with Linux you actually get to choose the desktop you want to use, and it's very possible to customize it yourself if you don't like the baked-in design.
