While I’m no fan of Epic Games for bribing companies to keep games off of Steam for a year or more, Valve’s market dominance in PC game sales isn’t a good thing for developers or consumers.

Also have to make sure that the public WiFi network one’s device is connected to doesn’t block VPN connections, as was the case at at least one Walmart I tried using the WiFi at.
Because the cartel was letting everyone live in peace and harmony before the arrest?
In her place, Trump would be lauding how great he thinks the US-Israeli alliance is and commit twice as many resources to Israel in the process. Acting like Harris is anywhere near as bad as Trump on the issue of Palestine is either being grossly naive or intentionally deceitful, while not voting for her just because she isn’t pro-Palestine enough is counter productive when Trump is far less so.
Did government policy in China change on foreign asset ownership without the need for a local company to serve as an operating partner?
The worst culprits though are the EAs and Paradoxes of the world that sell dozens of DLCs for games that cumulatively cost far more than the base game itself.
After narrowing down the “high velocity” tower fan options on Amazon two years ago to two options that seemed to have the best reviews, I ended up going with the “Dreo Pilot Pro”, ordering two and for some reason being sent three. Anecdotal experience of course, and their use has been largely limited to the summer, but they seem to work a bit better than the Lasko fans they replaced without being distinctly louder. Specific settings probably depend on the exact model one chooses, but the ones I got have nine speed options.
Legislation like that might happen in places like the EU, but in the US at least, unless lobbying rules are amended, consumers stand next to no chance against the commercial interests of advertisers.
If you’re the one paying for internet access, you should also have the right to determine the content that you’re paying to have access to. While something like pi hole could be used to metaphorically take down most of the billboards without impacting the ground below it, even everyday users should be informed about the data advertisers are getting from them, whether it is anonymized or not. Hiding an important setting about data sharing near the bottom of a page in settings doesn’t help anyone but the advertisers.
Note that the sources on the list are there due to the frequent publication of misinformation, rather than their bias alone.
As others have noted, the list can essentially be broken down into three categories: state-sponsored media outlets, clickbait-style tabloids, and extremist media outlets.
The categories themselves are just a means of summarizing what’s on the list though, as outlets in those categories that maintain editorial standards that disallow misinformation wouldn’t qualify for inclusion on the list.
For those worried about blocking certain viewpoints, it’s important to note that the sources on the list aren’t there for the unpopularity of their opinions, but rather the frequent publication of misinformation. For instance, Fox News, despite its frequent bias, is not one of the publications on the list.
As others have noted, the list can essentially be summarized as state-sponsored, tabloid, and extremist media outlets that, intentionally or not, have editing standards that result in misinformation on a regular basis.

Apologies; fixed it in the main post, so the crossposts should be fixed as well now.

Didn’t realize that; interesting to know, thanks.
In that case the issue is that it’s user generated content. Just as you’d cite the references listed after a Wikipedia article for the source of that information rather than Wikipedia itself, Wikipedia policy favors references to established publications over those compiled by users in a manner similar to Wikipedia itself.
For the information to be verifiable, its original source has to be both clear and reputable.
The reason the list is relatively short, in comparison to how many websites likely fall under its scope, is because adding entries to it requires the consensus of dozens or hundreds of Wikipedia editors, and only if that unreliability is consistent. Notably the list doesn’t exclude some questionably reliable sources, such as Fox News, as its purpose isn’t to remove sources of bias, rather sources of misinformation.
I get the damage to the thumbs, but what in being a scribe would cause more damage to the jaw or hips than anyone else?
Admittedly I did need a guide at times for Quern too; I think the best compromise is what Cyan did for Firmament and just include an optional hint system in the game itself. By avoiding the need to consult walkthroughs, not only would excessive spoilers be avoided, but the experience would remain self-contained, something especially important for a VR game.
The loss of built-in PWA support was the biggest disappointment I had when switching from Chrome to Firefox, with the add-on solutions I tried having one problem or another in replicating my goal of making opening a handful of websites I had set to be PWAs look as much like regular applications as possible. While I wouldn’t switch back to Chrome in a second, and am still trying to get the rest of my family to make the switch, there’s a number of things Firefox needs to implement to remove the remaining roadblocks for people looking to make the switch away from Chrome or another Chromium browser.
