  • They link to the org, which now hosts a response press release (PDF) (EN after FR).

    I read through it, and it makes wrong claims, misrepresentations, and wrong conclusions.

    It claims AdGuard is lying and shifting its stance and communication while misrepresenting what AdGuard said and published.

    They seem to confuse the availability of non-disclosed URLs with removal of known URLs. They seem to confuse successful reports by AdGuard with other content still being available. They fail to disclose, or conveniently evade disclosing, what and how they reported, only saying their report (of unlawful content) can be requested by law enforcement or adguard. They can’t fathom AdGuard blocking the content while it is available, and then changing stance and unblocking after the reporting and consequential removal was successful.

    The AdGuard post is certainly much more convincing than their “rebuttal” with logical errors and misrepresentations.



  • Yes, I’m ready. I’m interested in buying all three new products. Whether I do depends on price. I’m fine with not buying them if I deem them not worth the cost for me.

    I kinda doubt Valve would produce and sell a Machine with a 1k USD target price. When watching the announcement video, I was wondering how affordable it would be, whether it would be something like 300 € (not having seen any specs), although the “runs even the big titles” puts that into question to a degree.

    There’s no real use in speculating. It’s better to just wait. I didn’t look for or into third party information either. I’m waiting for official information, waiting for the next announcements and/with product page launches.








  • I remember this meme video where a guy insults a cop while addressing him with ‘du’, but as the cop turns towards him, he quickly corrects it with ‘sie’, making the insult 100 times better.

    I think they’re asking, not just turning around.

    1. “Du Schwein”
    2. Officer: “was haben sie gesagt?” Or a short form like “bitte?”
    3. " Sie Schwein"

    The joke being that they’re asking politeness form while retaining the insult. IMO the asking adds impact over just turning around, because the officer is offering a chance to pull back.


  • including criminal prosecutions for memes about politicians,

    It’s worth mentioning that Germany has strong laws against defamation etc, compared to US for example. There’s various freedoms as well, but from publishing personal criticism into personal insults, in some aspects, it’s significantly different. It’s to protect people from unwarranted public humiliation and hate speech. But at times, it can be weaponized as well.
