Wootz , to memes in Israel gotta go

No.

Netanyahu gotta go. Don’t condemn the population of a country because of the actions of its leader.

Confidant6198 OP ,

Israel is a settler colony and an ethno state. It doesn’t have a “population”, but a settler regime.

sailingbythelee , (edited )

This comment is so wrong. You are dehumanizing Jews and condemning an entire country as illegitimate.

Confidant6198 OP ,

I don’t care about the religion of the oppressors and settlers. Israelis are oppressor and settlers who are living in stolen Palestinian land. Israel is an illegitimate settler colony that the UN has condemned since its inception and creation by antisemites who believed that Jews had no place in Europe and wanted to get rid of them. The majority of Jews condemn Israel. Israelis do no represent Jews and thinking so is antisemitic.

volvoxvsmarla ,

So, first of all - I basically agree with you and will be playing devil’s advocate a little bit here. But some things I want to point out:

The majority of Jews condemn Israel. Israelis do no represent Jews and thinking so is antisemitic.

Definitely not all Jews or Israelis support the Israeli government as it is. But over 40% of Jews in the world live in Israel, which makes it not the majority, but a very big chunk of Jews. While they might condemn the current government, it is difficult to argue that they condemn the idea of Israel when they are living there. However, a second point follows right from here:

Israelis are oppressor and settlers who are living in stolen Palestinian land. Israel is an illegitimate settler colony that the UN has condemned since its inception and creation

Yes. But also it was created a long time ago. Not too long ago, but long enough so that there are generations of people who have been born into this state as innocent people.

Basically, I dislike the idea of how Israel was created and claiming some birthright to return to a land. Depending on how far you want to go you can always find different peoples living in any region. No one would reasonably argue that we should evacuate Manhattan and return it to Native Americans. And this analogy works in both ways: evacuate Israel to give the land back to Palestine as well as evacuating the region of Palestinians to create Israel. Shlomo Sand once said he is a post zionist because the mess has already been created, maybe that is the take I most agree with, although really, there is no fair or “right” solution to this. Which is why it makes this conflict so complicated and frustrating.

Confidant6198 OP ,

The fair and right solution is to give the land to the people who have been living there for thousands of years and let them decide what to do. The West has no right to tell them what to do after all it has giving them is colonialism (UK) after colonialism (USA and Israel) . It is as simple as that.

And many people want also to give the Americas back to the natives who have been living there for tens of thousands of years. However, this is a more difficult endeavor. Israel is the first one that needs to be abolished.

volvoxvsmarla ,

I don’t think this is what you mean, but it sounds a lot like you want to replace one ethno state with another ethno state by pushing out all the Jews that have migrated to Israel during the last 80ish years as well as their descendants.

I doubt this is what you would want, but I just want to point this out, because it sounds dangerous and might be taken like this.

My guess is that you, just as most people, would not want the “migrants” displaced, but not in power and especially not suppressing the rights and targeting the people who lived there and are still living there. We all basically want them to be a big happy secular family who don’t care about each other’s background and see the person. (Which is the big problem because this family hates one another.) Yes, a lot of Israel’s population has come to Israel somewhat unlawfully, but again: the mess has already been created. Telling a 17 year old whose grandparents migrated Israel from Hungary to please fuck off and go back to Hungary would be not more rightful than displacing Palestinians back in 1948.

Confidant6198 OP ,

Palestine has always been a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic place, so no, it never was and will never be an ethno state. Also, I cannot make decisions for what the Palestinians decide to do with the settlers, but they have in the past given asylum to the Jews who faced persecution in Europe. There has always been Jews living in Palestine. Israel should be abolished and whoever wants to be part of Palestine can go through the nationalization process. Westerners have no right to dictate how the Palestinians handle the settler-colonial problem, that is for the native people to decide, and they have that right given to them by international law. This is the right of self determination.

Israel needs to go.

I hoping the OP means the state of Israel “has to go,” and not necessarily the population. I.e. a “one-state solution.”

RobotToaster ,

Possibly they bought it from someone on ebay or something?

ArcaneSlime ,

I’ve had tails “kill” a few USB drives. By that I mean windows wouldn’t recognize the drive with explorer and I had to use diskpart to reformat it, and the drive was fine. I assume this user doesn’t know that, but I think back then I just googled “windows won’t see usb” and got the answer so they should get good.

thurstylark ,

Windows refuses to recognize anything except the first partition on any storage device that it classifies as “removable”, so this tracks. Just zero the partition table, and Windows will offer to format it like it wants on next plug.

Damage ,

That’s not true. I have a 2-partition SSD that boots an on OS on one partition and has storage on the other, works fine in Windows.

The problem is that Windows’ Disk Management utility doesn’t zero unknown partition tables.

Single glazed everything, shoddy extension that’s falling to bits, and no insulation anywhere, 12ft ceilings and also our boiler is shit. It’s a two bedroom Victorian terrace, ground floor. Fighting with Edinburgh Council to get approval for a much needed renovation, but even though the category of listing our home is literally only covers the front facade, our really quite modest renovation plan would “be a detriment to the character of the neighbourhood”. Our upstairs neighbour also paid significantly less that winter…but they got approval to rip all their floors up and install insulation and double glazed windows.

Just Edinburgh planning are fickle. We got someone on the wrong day, and they decided, fuck these guys in particular. They are notorious for things like stringing an application along for 5 years for no good reason. We’re requesting a formal rejection, a decision was supposed to have been made in January, so we can take it to appeals. Thankfully since we’re in a listed building the appeal goes directly to the office of a minister and not back to Edinburgh Council planning.

    FiskFisk33 , (edited ) to memes in How often had I overlooked women's contributions ?

    “man” as in human kind.

    I agree the linguistics here are unfortunate, but here we are, and that word, in that context, is normally gender neutral.

    Also, 28 day calendar probably means it’s the moon.

    2pt_perversion ,

    It’s important to note how we got here. In old English man just meant human. Wereman meant male and wifman meant female. Over time that “were” prefix got dropped and man now means male but the ambiguous meaning of humankind stuck around. In fact “human” comes from old french “of man”, again the non-gendered use of the word man.

    The point is to fix all these problems we just have to bring back the “were”. The progressive werewolves are way ahead of us on this issue.

    exocrinous ,

    Hunter, huntress, huntsman. Actor, actress, actsman. Waitor, waitress, waitsman.

    If we bring back the were then how are we gonna refer to male hunters, actors, and waitors?

    FiskFisk33 ,

    Hunter, werehunter, wifhunter. fun!

    the real question is how are we going to refer to male wolves?

    You mean apart from them occuring at set intervals? The length of time between the average women’s periods is 28 days, but the moon’s 28 day cycle is 100% reliable, and always happens regardless of individual stressors. Having a regular solar event that confirms you’re accurately keeping track of days is pretty practical.

    XeroxCool ,

    I’m not seeing a comment pointing out why 28 days isn’t a moon thing, so I’ll take a shot. If you watch new moon to new moon or full moon to full moon, it’s a 29.5 day cycle. It’s true, the moon’s orbit is only 28 days. However, that’s 360° of travel. We don’t track the moon against the stars for its cycle though, it’s tracked against the sun. A full moon sits opposite the sun, a new moon in line with the sun, etc. So, in that 28 day orbital period, the earth has also orbited about 1/13 of an orbit around the sun, changing the position of the sun against the stars . That means the moon has to travel an extra 28° of orbit to reach the new moon position again - about an extra day an a half.

    all being collected and sold to the best bidder for “personalized ads”…

    Blackmist ,

    Depends on the launcher you use.

    Illecors ,

    That’s… Not at all how it works.

    Don’t worry, you’re one of today’s lucky 10000!

    Launcher on android is just that - an app to launch other apps. Other apps can and do run in the background, without ever being explicitly launched. Think play services, location provider, wifi connection manager, etc. Since google runs its stuff at the highest level - nothing can hide from it. Other apps, like netflix, utilise internal telemetry. Assholes like facebook push the boundaries to the limit and collect literally every input of every sensor to have as much data about your environment as possible.

    TL;DR - custom launcher cool, but no cure.

    Blackmist ,

    Not a cure, but does stop me seeing ads. And frankly of you don’t want anyone to know what you’re watching, you wouldn’t be on Netflix either.

    But my point remains that Android TV is still a better legal media player than a PC.

    Scary. Recommend any further reading?

    Illecors ,

    I don’t have something specific to read, my statement comes from questioning the declared permissions by apps. Why would, say, facebook - an app that, essentially, downloads and uploads content via http, need access to location, gyro, contacts, texts, call history, making calls, microphone, etc? Also, while I can’t prove it, as someone who works in computing I can guarantee there are undocumented/buggy/testing APIs and just straight up bugs that companies with enough resources can and do find and abuse. Cambridge analytica has only strengthened my view on this.

    Take a look for yourself with a rooted phone.

    Blocker will show you all the recievers/services/activities/providers the app uses,
    and will allow you to block them.

    github.com/lihenggui/blocker

    Apps often still work correctly with about 80-90% of their recievers/services/providers blocked, since they’re spyware, which doesn’t add functionality to the app.

    XPrivacyLua will allow you to lie to apps when they request sensitive data.

    Aditionally it will show you timestamps of what it lied about, to which apps, reveiling what they try to collect on you.

    github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua

    ClassyShark3xodus allows you to decompile and scan apps on the fly,
    to check which well known trackers are embedded into it.

    bitbucket.org/oF2pks/fdroid-classyshark3xodus

    Idk if these apps still do it,
    since I have not used them for years,
    but that’s how I learned about many things like:

    • 9GAG contained a face detector service at some point.
    • Facebook Messenger requests access to your microphone, even when you are not calling with it.

    It depends on what you’ll run on it.

    LineageOS in itself is good/private.
    However the GApps/GMS are not.

    I’d recommend replacing GMS with MicroG if you need that for the apps you use,
    which still talks to Google,
    but in a minimal way.

    YouTube isn’t private either,
    but Grayjay/NewPipe are.
