I think what PRS is stating is that Valve needs a license for the music to even display the game in their store, which is utter nonsense.

They aren’t claiming the games are infringing, if that were the case with something like Forza, they would go after the game publisher.

It looks like they are trying to say Valve is infringing by having the games in their store.

Again? 😲

Seriously, the attention span of people when it comes to Israeli war crimes…

"Human Rights Watch has documented Israel’s violations in both Gaza and Lebanon. During its 2008-2009 military campaign in Gaza, called Operation Cast Lead, Israel attacked civilians with WP. In 2009, Human Rights Watch concluded that the Israeli Army deployed WP, killing civilians and damaging structures including “a school, a market, a humanitarian aid warehouse and a hospital.” A 2009 United Nations fact-finding mission known as the Goldstone Report confirmed that Israel failed to take feasible precautions required by customary law to avoid civilian harm, describing Israel’s actions as “reckless.” In one instance, the fact-finding mission confirmed that Israel fired WP shells over the UNRWA compound in Gaza City. Israel rejected the Goldstone report, however, and no action was taken. Following an Israeli Supreme Court ruling in 2013, the Israeli military stated that it would stop the use of WP in its artillery shells, but to no avail.

Fast forward to May 2023. At the 5th Review Conference of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), Palestine accused Israel of using WP on civilians in Gaza. In response, Israel accused Palestine of exploiting the forum for political gain. In November 2023, at the 28th session of the OPCW, Palestine again accused Israel of using WP illegally. Israel rejected the accusation and no action has been taken on these matters. Last October, Human Rights Watch concluded that Israel’s military use of WP violated international humanitarian law. On November 15, Israel launched 300 WP strikes on a densely populated neighborhood in Beit Lahia, Gaza in less than 40 minutes, and between October 7 and November 16, launched 1,000 total WP strikes.

Israel’s history of WP use in Lebanon is extensive. Lebanon’s then-President Émile Lahoud accused Israel of using WP against civilians during the 2006 Lebanon War. Since the war on Gaza began on October 7, 2023, Israel has continuously deployed WP against civilians in southern Lebanon where conflict between Israeli and Hezbollah forces continues to escalate. Amnesty International reported on Israel’s unlawful use of WP from October 10 to 16, 2023, calling for the indiscriminate attack in Al-Duhayra to be investigated as a war crime, because the indiscriminate attack injured at least nine civilians. The American University of Beirut reported that Israel’s WP use in October resulted in 134 forest fires, dozens of civilian fatalities and injuries, and the displacement of 20,000 people in Lebanon. According to Al Jazeera, from October to March, Israel dropped 117 phosphoric bombs on southern Lebanon. By the end of March, nearly 108 million square feet of land had been burned by white phosphorus and other incendiary weapons. On June 5, Human Rights Watch verified the use of WP munitions by Israeli forces in Lebanon “in at least 17 municipalities across south Lebanon since October 2023, including five municipalities where airburst munitions were unlawfully used over populated residential areas.” Another attack on June 8 sparked wildfires that spread to civilian homes. In October, the Lebanese Mission to the United Nations sent a letter to the UN Security Council (UNSC) stating that Israel fired phosphorous artillery shells “in the area of Bastra–Sahl al-Mari and the outskirts of Rayhanah, Barri, and Shanuh (12 phosphorous shells), causing fires to erupt; the outskirts of the town of Yarun (11 phosphorous shells); the outskirts of the town of Labbunah (23 phosphorous shells), causing fires to erupt; and the outskirts of the towns of Mays al-Jabal and Blida.” In November 2023, the Lebanese government stated that it would file a complaint to the UNSC against Israel for “using white phosphorus in striking Lebanese border areas.” In July, the Lebanese foreign minister posed the matter again at the UNSC.

Israel continues abusing WP in Lebanon to this day with reporting as recently as June on attacks in Lebanese villages Kfar Kila, Khiam, and others as well as in Rashaya al-Fakhar in July."

I was released from major invasive surgery on 2/23 and had a bleeding event that night followed by a 2nd event where the bleeding had stopped.

So I gave the details to chat gpt to see if there was a concern and it went HAM mode. “Call 911! This is not a ‘best of three’ thing! You could bleed out! Call 911!”

I did not call 911, the bleeding stayed stopped, I’m fine.

Problem: You can’t lose a war you have no definition for winning.

So in the end, the US literally can’t win or lose the war, all they can do is simply choose to end it.

What is the end goal? What does winning the war look like? 🤷 Yeah, me either. But if you don’t define it, you can’t lose it either.

One question:

"On your first computer, how did you open a program?

Load “*”,8,1 ✅

program.exe ✅

Double click the icon ✅

“Program? Is that like an app?” ❌

Wasn’t that also the name of a Microsoft Surface device? 🤔

Weird, I recently bought that same phone and did not have that problem. Why?

“Do you want to transfer your files from another device?”

No.

Just no. I don’t need your help, I can do this myself. Previous phone is backed up to my NAS, I can restore what I want from there.

I see a new phone as an opportunity to leave stuff behind. It’s on the NAS if I REALLY need it.
