I don’t disagree with any of this, but in this particular instance i do think it’s simply a reflection of reality. Biden’s whole strategy is win over dummy undecideds who can’t tell him and Trump apart, rather than excite his base for a good turnout.

Fact is that strategy requires charisma, not brains. Biden’s running a strategy on his weakness. It’s doomed, which is impressive since Trump is so widely hated. Literally any other dem in there party is a better choice, save Jimmy Carter…

I hope this works out. Local news media outside of huge cities is 3 nextdoor posts in a trenchcoat.

Uncritical copaganda from NYT again. These changes are…fine, but don’t get at the inherent risks of police surveillance and biometrics.

With the state of AI and computer vision, and legal requirements to disclose ads, i wonder if a ytdl + editing script will he the nicest way to watch at some point

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 ^^

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.

I’ll add that id highly recommend making a backup before doing anything. You can more safely try out linux in a virtual machine as well

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.

I found the game addictive enough i wasn’t counting but am surprised it was that many! I kept doing runs long after too.

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.

Such a hater comment to make. Woof.

First, shitting on folks who are new to left politics and (god forbid) harbor excitement for these new insights. At least we have folks leaving comments like this to grind that eagerness out of them.

Then, it failed a narrow expectation you fully put on it. Maybe it was using an a medium to express an idea in a novel way. What a concept. Let’s call it Art. It can be something other than homework.

You’re allowed to not be into it and express why, and if you have ideas for improving it, even better. But essentially saying “I’m above the target audience and it’s pointless”…cool, share something you made

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.

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.
