Imagine being so fucking delusional that you wear a religious head piece at the same time you wear a glorified icon of a murder tool. How can anyone take this seriously.

nearly 250 uses of white phosphorus by Israeli forces between October 2023 and November 2024

It’s not a one off or a mistake.

Beydoun said his findings suggested Israel’s military may be using white phosphorus “as a way to maybe start pushing people out” to create a “buffer zone” on the Lebanese side of the border.

“It’s just a practical tool to use to burn fields, I think it’s mostly that,” he said. “It’s mostly for scorching the earth.”

Yay let’s destroy nature so our zealots move in later

Bernie just did a YouTube video talking with Claude about this and it’s good

It did change my opinion on the subject primarily from the pov that a bit of wait is good in corrupt systems as it allows justice to catch up and datacenters are not critical infrastructure - we can shop around.

The problem is that they are so far of reality that they don’t fear death and probably think they’ll go to some magic place anyway.

The noose shaped pins idea is fucking demonic. What the actual fuck.

There’s difference between making an encryption tool and hiring top psychologists to design abusive systems.

What actually might help: hold people who design these tools criminally liable. Everyone knows what they are doing but you can’t really say no to your employer because “don’t worry you’re not liable” so everyone continues on building the Torment Nexus.

the anti-democracy wave is crazy right now. This is exactly what all of these dictators and wannabe dictators want us to do - give up.

Seems like the highly praised Hong Kong’s peaceful protests yielded to absolutely nothing.

Disagree. Some amateur porn was about exhibitionism but most of it was about money and that money was more often than not made by human slavers. I think onlyfans is a net good for this particular industry and the issues of “spam” and content moderation are entirely separate - it’s the platforms that promote this spam as horny users are spending more time and money on the platform.

Out of the loop:

The systemd project merged a pull request adding a new birthDate field to the JSON user records managed by userdb, in response to age verification laws in California, Colorado, and Brazil.

Lennart Poettering clarified that this is an optional field in the userdb JSON object — not a policy engine, not an API for apps. It just defines the field so it’s standardized if people want to store the date there, but it’s entirely optional. Systemd itself does nothing with the data.

What a nothing burger

inb4 guy turns out to be a major sex offender and/or a pedophile

Charlie: Erika got you too huh?
Guy: She serves nasty spin yeah

It’s wayyyy too close either way.

Exactly if I can have the same house with actually more garden space as I dont need a car I’d choose that every time.

Even then it’s not a very useful question as car =/= car. Having a house with a prius that you use once in a blue moon to visit your grandma in the country side is very different from driving a pickup truck every day.

You don’t have 5 minutes and yet here you are commenting?

Wearing brand name on you is such a bitch thing to do.

Rigged question: would you rather live in a big house or an apartment? Obviously people will choose a big house duuuh

Commenting here for a historic inb4. Hopefully we don’t need to wait that long.
