The US has truly been grifted by the “defense” industry for decades now. A lot of snake oil with no testing in real battle conditions

We really need to tax energy used by GPU-burning projects differently. AI training, blockchain, whatever. Such a wasteful endeavour.

Historical reason for the US supporting the creation of Israel ^^

Also KDE here, but largely without modifications from defaults. I turn off a few things, but more or less it’s exactly what i expect from a DE without taking up too many resources. I really buy in to the K-suite apps for almost everything too, so it all works together nicely.

This begs some reflection. what is a"job", functionally? What would be needed for losing it to be good?

I suspect a system with jobs would not eradicate jobs, just change them.

Self hosting means having an application run on your own server. The easiest introduction is probably using raspberrypi to run something like Jellyfin

Anecdotes so few and far between, meanwhile the anti-zionist movement is absolutely flooded with jewish voices. A narrative to dismiss protests, designed to resists hard evidence…like the article you are ignoring here.

The US has two parties, one which is very nationalistic and loves cruelty, and one that is very bureaucratic and loves controlling information. This creates a bureaucratic structure which increases control over citizen info, in a way that presumably hurts another country and stifles progressive youth.

People pretending east Jerusalem does not exist now? Illegal settlements are still illegal …

Honestly either flag makes sense given the divide. Which state is Kansas city in?

First, don’t conflate Israel with Jews. It is a government not a religious authority, and using Judaism as a veil is deeply antisemitic.

Second, this is an infantile understanding of colonization. Shall we give Crimea back yo to the Greeks? They inhabited it 3,000 years ago. Clearly not, and if Greece invaded and exploited the land and the people we’d call them colonists.

This blood and soil logic is exactly what european nationalists use to expell Jews. Comically such advocates of this logic also rarely support returning land to indigenous peoples in the US…

How useful is Israeli as an ally really? They threaten huge costly wars constantly, destabilize the region, and export right wingism. They’re at best an R&D project of the department of defense.

Getting higher every day. Majority children.

Switch to a credit union.

love that i switched to graphene. I was hesitant because ages ago i bricked a phone with a random ROM, but boy have things changed.

installing was seriously easy, like in a pinch my elderly parents could probably do it. the result worries better than stock Android imo

Really strongly recommend checking it out if you have a supported devices.

They’re confident in their backing and feel invincible. Lebanon, a small coastal neighbor with sites from ancient judea. Expanding into the territory is probably on their timeline.

NYT is being a bit opaque, mixing different types of protests. i think it’s important to highlight these protests are about saving the hostages, not stopping genocide. a majority of Israelis people support the genocide/colonization. That’s why they moved there.

i really sympathize with folks who go down an iot rabbit hole only to find it’s a huge disaster.

Most iot use cases are incredibly simple, like turning on a light in the morning. implement should take a handful of minutes.

but the more complicated the technical debt, i imagine the less satisfying the whole experience is. it’s a fun whimsical hobby that quickly becomes a farce.

[obligatory suggestion to use Linux]

but yeah iot had become not optional in some spaces. tvs and cars are the big ones i can’t stand

Big changes in quantity! I suspect a small amount is well tolerated, but we are exposed to far more. We are also seeing more exposure over ones lifetime.

We also don’t know what number of on-the-rise conditions can be attributed to it. We don’t know the full impact, but seems safe to suggest reducing exposure through regulation.
