For sketchy services in grey or illegal area, I've started paying month to month for exactly this reason.

Missing article was here It didn't contain much other than dates it was filed and plaintiffs information. Which is a standard practice anywhere.

In July 2024, ANI filed a lawsuit against Wikimedia Foundation in the Delhi High Court — claiming to have been defamed in its article on Wikipedia — and sought ₹2 crore (US$240,000) in damages.[14][15][16] At the time of the suit's filing, the Wikipedia article about ANI said the news agency had, "been accused of having served as a propaganda tool for the incumbent central government, distributing materials from a vast network of fake news websites, and misreporting events on multiple occasions". The filing accused Wikipedia of publishing, "false and defamatory content with the malicious intent of tarnishing the news agency's reputation, and aimed to discredit its goodwill".[17][14][18][19]

The article is still up, Wikipedia calling ANI biased, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_News_International

So not really sure, why the massive outrage. Removing intricate details from ongoing lawsuits is standard practice.

While the lawsuit by ANI demands that editors who made the edit claiming ANI as govt mouth piece be identified, Wikipedia hasn't done it yet and the article is right about setting a dangerous precedent if high court forces Wikipedia to reveal the names. But at the same time article is biased and has misleading information such as > In an unprecedented move, Wikipedia removed the page from its platform on October 21.>

You can see some well noted examples of articles being removed before from Wikipedia here . So there is clearly precedent for removal of articles. I used love vox a decade ago, but now I see these half truths/partial stories are a commonplace and I'm happy to have ditched vox now.

It's a gorgeous, breathtaking game.

Gave me a good chuckle

I was confused for a second what does 8AM have to do with a headless creature, before I figured out what it means.

Not many of you left these days it feels, any debate I always see openSUSE is missing, I don't use it myself atm, but it was my rock in the past. Either openSUSE community is not vocal or it's just very tiny on lemmy.

Hati hati hati ho

And my tropical ass feels cold in just 18C where I try to find a second layer.

Probably more like, scamming centers are mostly focused on foreigners (from Indian pov), so that's ok.

2010 blur? You can play it using pseudo lan network softwares. Me and my mates still play it.

Wanted a game, back then wasn't available in my country unless I travelled 3 hours to a city that had one store that had the game, also was too expensive and no way I would've convinced parents to spend it on game. Shores of high sea are always at your doorstep.

At least for games, I check how big is the dev team, anything bigger than 30 then pirate Then I check if owner of the development studio is public company, if yes then pirate Then I check if owner owns more than one development studio, if yes then pirate Then I check how many games studio has released, if more than 10, pirate Then I check how many copies have been sold on steam, more than 1m, pirate

If a game dev team fails all above checks, I will still pirate first, but if i enjoy pirated copy, I'll buy the game to support the dev.
