fwiw, this story is also covered here, imho a more credible source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/2/1/palestinians-demand-international-inquiry-after-mass-grave-found-in-gaza

gotta admit, that is a lot safer approach than trying some shit on the real thing

The statistic of low Firefox use is based on accessing US government websites. Could it be that there is significantly LESS government site access by the population of users that prefer Firefox? As a corollary I recently read that game companies observed significantly HIGHER bug reporting from Linux users on Steam, not because there were more Linux-related bugs, but simply because that set of users were more likely to initiate bug reports. Of course Firefox is not Linux and Steam is not the world, but a statistic from a relatively narrow segment of the internet should not be assumed representative of the whole.

I have plain ol’ Ubuntu LTS and I do not recall a Steam crash in a decade. Playing with Nvidia GPU on AMD Ryzen in recent years.

In that case, Krasnodar and Rostov to Ukraine as buffer zones - maybe Belgorod and Kursk too?

I think there was a time when he could have apologized for a dumb mistake and everyone would have moved on. It is world news now because HE chose another and unfortunate path - which probably has no route back to the sunlit lands.

at 9000 feet deep, the pressure is 273 atmospheres or 4100 psig - they never knew what hit them.

Long ago, I was a midshipman on a submarine. The crew LOVED to watch submarine disaster films - with water spraying in all frothy and fire-hosey. But the reality would be a flooding time measured in fractions of a second, in most cases - people are not used to dealing with pressures in the tons per square inch except at the nozzle of pressure washers where the flow is tiny. So, on the bright side, most submarine failure deaths are quick ones.

this inspired me to paper over all my old comments and posts with clippings from random washington post articles from today. A labor of … love

In view of comments about restoration of deleted data, I had a look at the user agreement for NON EEU and it says "When Your Content is created with or submitted to the Services, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, distribute, store, perform, and display Your Content and any name, username, voice, or likeness provided in connection with Your Content in all media formats and channels now known or later developed anywhere in the world.

You also agree that we may remove metadata associated with Your Content, and you irrevocably waive any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to Your Content. tldr; they do not have to honor content deletion in the US. But I feel better that I deleted it, maybe it will be a little bit of pain to restore it. I will go back occasionally and re-delete if neeeded.

he is not wrong about moderators being like “landed gentry” in a lot of cases; but on the other hand the blackout already did the damage. Time will tell if he is dead-man-walking, but I already deleted all my content (posts and replies) and unsubscribed from all. Some people may feel angst that the blackout did not “win”, but it was a very useful occasion to focus on the reddit phenomenon and recognize our commoditization. I had been glad to contribute content, but if reddit is going to <do what they did> then I am done. That is all the win I need. I will contribute it here (lemmy servers) instead.
