It might be hard to get a peacekeeping mission going there since many countries would never want to get involved in the political clusterfuck that Israel/Palestine thing is. You’d need a country that’s acceptable to both sides and who wouldn’t mind getting involved when things get tough. What to do when one side strikes against the other and so on.

No but some actions have a bigger return than others. To me the October 7 attacks don’t seem like they gained much consider how many have died, but like said, it’s not for me to calculate that or decide if it’s a good exchange. Maybe Gazans consider it a good outcome, I dunno.

That’s 710 babies under 1, it seems. The document wasn’t linked in many of the articles talking about this but one article did mention it was on Gaza’s MoH Telegram account, found it there. It’s a pretty damn long list

Not sure fighting back was the best move in this case, since it caused this sort of response. But it’s not really for me to do that math

settle for some lukewarm side table water

Lmao

I think it’s an interesting approach. I much prefer flatpak but can’t say I’m curious what all-snap system would be like

The ads and the Amazon thing will follow Canonical forever

This part did sound pretty concerning

Further, they have frequently promoted conspiracy theories and misinformation regarding Covid-19, such as this A DARPA-FUNDED IMPLANTABLE BIOCHIP TO DETECT COVID-19 COULD HIT MARKETS BY 2021. The Covid vaccine does not alter DNA. They have also published conspiracy theories related to 9/11 and Chemtrails. Finally, they frequently rely on Russian government sources like RT News and Sputnik.

“Infiltrated” seems like a clandestine action even though they just selected her to be on the board. It’s not like her having been on WEF council (“Chair of the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on the Future of Internet Security”) was a secret to people who made her a board member since it’s very available info.

Thanks to the way back machine we can see that they quietly erased Rosemary Leith’s bio of her affiliations with the WEF.

Now why would they do that?

I think especially right-wingers have made the WEF into some Jewish conspiracy theory and it has taken a life of its own so might just be bad PR. Tbh that seems like the simplest option. You don’t want to scare away the potential customers.

I stuck with PIA, mostly since I had no issues (software, connection wise) and it was just very very cheap

It seems like they have VPN services and they don’t really care who uses them. Business doing business things

Lmao

Addiction is a hell of a thing

It’s probably a really painful thing to lot of them. It’s like someone defending being fat, they must know it’s unhealthy and have likely tried to do something about it, without success, so now someone mentioning it just causes them to be defensive. Of course there’s no passive diabetes so in that respect smoking is a lot worse since it affects others too.

You can milk anything with nipples

I don’t think there’s a smoker alive who doesn’t know it’s bad for them and a lot of them would like to quit. It’s a sad thing.

What kind of system that depends on centralized servers can ever be secure from government snooping?

With properly implemented E2EE it can be less of a problem because at least the message content isn’t readable to them. Metadata though

Thanks OJ

Could mean in American context
