I'm from Poland.

I’m talking Soviet-style, grey concrete commieblocks

So the commieblocks are always:

  • few minutes walk from school, kindergarten, grocery, doctor's office, post, dentist and bus stops
  • sane distance from another block
  • either surrounded by good greenery, or next to a park
  • surprisingly good quality
  • small elevator
  • little parking spaces

Vs "modern" blocks:

  • large elevator
  • the blocks are so close, if you open your window you could pee in the neighbours coffee cup
  • usually surrounded by pavement, cement, or car parking
  • better at noise reduction
  • you're more likely to need a car to go to doctor's office or drop your kids off, or go to the grocer.

To me the ideal is the commie era urban planning with modern techniques, but that's uncommon.

Map of Every Country that the USA has invaded, bombed, couped, supported dictators, supported terrorists and/or interfered in elections since 1900.

I obviously don't know what Dessalines meant by his map, but you should read about all the shit US was doing in Europe in the last 50 years - e.g. Operation Gladio is the most famous one. That did include mass bombings done by US and trying to pin the blame on antifa or socialist or communist parties.

Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC

Well, semantically yes, not all telemetry is spyware. However regarding Windows telemetry it's indistinguishable from spyware - you have no idea nor control over the data gathered, measured and processed.

The crux is that Windows telemetry is opt out, opting out can't be done during installation, and historically opting out wasn't sticky. Additionally some Windows telemetry is still being sent despite opting out.

That makes Windows telemetry fulfill all spyware criteria.

Pathfinder 2.0 sidestepped this issue by having class-specific feats instead of subclasses. Just pick which features you want dude, no need to be silly about it. And you get a new choice of class specific feats often.
