That's a possible second-order effect, but not guaranteed.

AI slop submissions like this should get accounts permabanned, at this point. HN's tolerance policy is making /new intolerable.

Who are you responding to?

They are responding to the comment above that asks why this funding is different than previous administrations. Generally, it breaks with many long held (post ww2) diplomatic approaches to american soft power.

A hook that would give even Chomsky an aneurysm.

> Why is the sole blame on countries other than India

You can blame India all you want; Modi is very much due for criticism, his political leadership is pitiful and merits no quarter from Western governments or otherwise.

But the Russian Federation doesn't care, they've got crude to process. The Knesset won't convene to denounce their enemy's enemy. The US loves buying cheap oil and siphoning Indian labor. They'll blame India right alongside you all day long, but they won't ever stop supporting their broken system. India's suffered from this for the better part of a century and it's becoming apparent that foreign influence is the issue.

The App Store really ought to just be a better platform in the first place. Apple is the one that let it accumulate slop, and now they're profiting off it's reputation for gambleslop apps.

Hard disagree. The Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck are both loved for their expandable storage, the "target market" just wants to play games and doesn't protest when they get extra features they won't use.

mob of angry people with pitchforks "Release the networking firmware for the Steam Deck, you cowards!"
