he got shredded for Marvel’s Eternals
Without your comment for context, I thought he was being blamed for how bad/mediocre Eternals was


It was me explaining how GOG are the good guys, for not charging twice, for their monthly donation subscription.
It’s objectively the right thing to do, but it shouldn’t even matter because anyone donating to a for-profit company should be financially secure enough to handle a late withdrawal from their account.
So again, while GOG not charging people on the donation subscription plan is the right thing to do, GOG doesn’t provide much (if anything) of value for that subscription in the first place.
Daniel Berntsson is the co-founder of Mullvad, a highly regarded Swedish VPN service. That reputation is likely about to take a hit, though, since we’ve just learned that the guy donated 5 million kronor (around €450,000) to the Swedish far-right party Örebropartiet.
And don’t go thinking this is just a rumor - Berntsson confirmed it himself by email to the journal Flamman, which broke the story: “it’s a personal donation from me.”
Those 5 million kronor represent roughly 72% of everything the party took in during 2025, and it’s also the largest private donation made to any Swedish political party that year. That’s not nothing. And Örebropartiet’s obsession is “re-emigration” - i.e., sending all immigrants out of the country - which their leader Markus Allard describes as getting rid of “parasites.”

It wasn’t that long ago we learned that the Mullvad cofounder was using his money to fund a far right party trying to kick out all immigrants. We can absolutely still learn new things about people, even if there are a lot of Nazis running around out in the open.


I see this like people making comments without reading a linked article in a post: you already think you know what it says so you don’t bother actually reading anything to make sure you’re right. I don’t think it really matters what I say if people aren’t even going to bother reading it.


if they didn’t give everyone affected a “free month” of access to a discord server, they would charge them
Why is everyone in this thread telling me what I already said?


Presumably, if they didn’t give everyone affected a “free month” of access to a discord server, they would charge them for the month where there was a mistake and then again for the current month. They’d be charging twice now to make up for the fact that some people weren’t charged earlier.


Let me tell you, you’re a real valuable member of the community, telling me what I already said twice and offering nothing new to the conversation. Thanks for taking the time to read each comment thoroughly before posting.


A free month of… access to a discord server?
Thanks, but I’m pretty sure I already knew that too


It is not a service, it is more of a donation.
Yeah, they’re so great for… not charging their monthly donation subscription twice?
I’m pretty sure I knew that already. The other guy said they got a month “for free,” which begs the question “what are you getting?”

In January 2026, neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. His message was clear: “Our kids are less cognitively capable than we were at their age.”
What the data actually says is that measured skills like reading comprehension, math performance, sustained attention, and writing quality may be slipping or not improving. It also suggests that a heavy, poorly controlled digital environment can make it harder to learn and retain what the school is trying to teach.

It’s not like there’s no cause for concern, but it seems like it’s mostly just that we need to limit screen time a little.


Indeed, by modeling light exposure, circadian impacts and health characteristics county by county, the researchers estimate that permanent standard time would prevent some 300,000 cases of stroke per year and result in 2.6 million fewer people having obesity. Permanent daylight saving time would achieve about two-thirds of the same effect.

I’d rather just get rid of it entirely. It’d also make more sense when looking at time zones.


I’ve added HP to my black list
You should add HP to the list
Am I missing something here? Why are you recommending they do exactly what they said they already did?


Yeah but giant banners seem like they’d be pretty expensive


Ah yes, millions of people installing and using energy intensive devices. That’ll be good for climate change, I’m sure
It was over 100 back in May, and the only thing that’s changed since then were several “deals” that weren’t actually deals that were obviously never going to last.

And it looks like the strategic oil reserve is declining fast.
