There was no primary this year. The democrats managed to cancel them in a bunch of states even though Biden would’ve easily sailed through against the democratic candidates (uncommitted beat both of them combined where that was an option).

jonne ,

I mean, I know this specific investigation is in bad faith, but it was pretty widely known something was going to go down in DC and the Capitol Police definitely dropped the ball on this one (among other law enforcement agencies).

Democrats should really be the ones investigating this but for whatever reason they’d rather run cover for the organisation that almost got them killed through incompetence, negligence or worse.

jonne ,

That’s what I was including as an option within ‘or worse’, but I haven’t seen any evidence of it (mostly because the democrats didn’t seem to be interested in investigating this when they had both chambers).

‘No one has any idea’ how many Israeli hostages are alive, says Hamas official (www.theguardian.com)

A senior Hamas official has said the group does not know how many of the Israeli hostages it is holding in Gaza are still alive, as Israeli and Hamas sources set out positions that could undermine the possibility of an imminent ceasefire deal....

jonne ,

Hamas moved away from any kind of digital communication, doing everything in person instead. With how Gaza is now, there’s no real way to coordinate stuff like that. They’re keeping communications at a minimum to avoid tipping off the IDF.

jonne ,

Yeah, but even before that they weren’t using phone communications, which is how they were able to surprise the IDF on Oct 7.

jonne ,

I feel like a horse is more of a gift you give to people you hate. Now they’re stuck with a horse and they need to find a place to stable it and pay through the nose in maintenance.

jonne ,

Valve did some work to support it in steam deck, it’s going to work its way upstream hopefully.

jonne ,

Probably depends on how much effort you want to put into it. Probably works in some distros with certain repos, but won’t work out of the box everywhere.

jonne ,

But in order to get the money for those programs, especially if their effect is to lower the workload for police, you should get the money from the police budget, otherwise it’s just wasted money. Are you just going to keep giving the NYPD a billion dollars a year to do nothing?

jonne ,

And if they think the only reason black people haven’t killed a bunch of white people as part of a race war because they just haven’t really had a convenient excuse for it, they haven’t really been paying attention to history.

jonne ,

Bitcoin is open source too. And I guess there’s a history of libertarians getting involved in projects like Linux as well (ESR comes to mind).

Still, I’d wager most are attracted to FOSS are left wing. A lot of capitalists can’t comprehend giving something for free to the community.

jonne ,

They had such a good reputation before all this, such a shame.

jonne ,

She probably makes more money by fundraising off this shit.

jonne ,

I guess it’s just the lack of any crumple zone, similar to the VW van your legs are essentially the crumple zone.

jonne ,

Because nobody learned anything from operation Gladio. Once the war is over these guys will be doing terror attacks all over Europe with weapons they stashed and the US will act all surprised again.

The Curious Case Of The Underselling Arena Tours (www.stereogum.com)

“Who can afford to go to multiple shows?” says the anonymous tour manager. “Two tickets to a show, you’re talking probably about $200 with fees and everything. You go to a meal around the show, you’re talking at least $100 or $200 for a nice dinner. Then you got parking and babysitters, then you add the VIP stuff to...

jonne ,

Yep, there’s a long internet post from the late 90s by Courtney Love that lays it all out. The labels make all the money from record sales and it wasn’t rare for artists to end up owing the label money after making a record.

jonne ,

Yeah, I’m positively surprised there’s the potential of perhaps some consequences for the ridiculous disregard for civilian life the cops had for this one.

jonne ,

Yeah, I know the artist said some other bullshit to justify this choice, but to me it just looks like the blood their wealth was built on.

jonne ,

Yeah, did he really think that the judiciary would stay independent after the Chinese decided they’d be the ones vetting which candidates could run for office?

Israel rescues 4 hostages taken in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, and 210 Palestinians are reported killed (apnews.com)

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel on Saturday carried out its largest hostage rescue operation since the latest war with Hamas began, taking four to safety out of central Gaza amid the military’s heavy air and ground assault. At least 210 dead Palestinians, including children, were brought to local hospitals, a health...

jonne ,

Looks like this was the real reason for building the pier.

jonne ,

If a cease-fire with a prisoner exchange was literally on the table but rejected by Israel, I’d pick the option where a bunch of innocent blood isn’t spilled to secure a release.

jonne ,

Sounds better than whatever the fuck is happening now, yeah.

Judge flags Facebook post claiming inside access to Trump verdict (www.bbc.com)

The US judge overseeing Donald Trump’s hush-money case in New York City has written a letter to prosecutors and the former president’s defence team about a Facebook post in which a person claims to have known the jury’s decision before it became public....

jonne ,

If the claim in the comment is true it means a juror broke the secrecy rules, and this could make it a mistrial, essentially. I’m guessing they need to find this commenter and work out if what they were saying is true or if it was a troll.

jonne ,

I’ll do it for 45 billion.

jonne ,

Now everyone will get to run Wordle!

Oh no, there’s communists involved in my free global collaborative software project!

Workers at TJ Maxx and Marshalls are wearing police-like body cameras. Here’s how it’s going (www.cnn.com)

Retail chains like TJX, the parent company of TJ Maxx and Marshalls, are equipping some store employees with body cameras to deter shoplifting and improve safety. This is part of a growing trend in the retail industry, as stores respond to an increase in organized retail theft and violence against workers. However, some...

jonne ,

Yeah, I feel like this is more about keeping tabs on the employees instead.

jonne ,

You just have AI transcribe everything that’s said, and you just have some software highlight anything that includes keywords associated with unions, and send a report to HR periodically.

jonne ,

Still funny that there’s a Microsoft Linux distro. Didn’t think that would ever happen 20 years ago.

jonne ,

My issue is that the only time I use vim or nano it’s because I’m logged into some server where you’re going to be stuck with the defaults anyway. I guess it’s nice on your home machine, but customising a bunch of servers with your personal preferences isn’t really something you can do in most work situations.

jonne ,

I think when you remotely wipe the phone you can make it show a message with your phone number, in case you’re actually a honest person that found the phone instead of a thief.

jonne ,

Yeah, but a presidential candidate will have security. A small town mayor would not.

jonne ,

Not if you push out the people living there, which has been how Israel has historically done it.

jonne ,

Yeah, I’ve got a petrol car, and now that I’ve got my own house I don’t think I’d gotten into a situation where an electric car wouldn’t have covered my needs just as well.

Obviously it was different when I was renting and stuck off street parking, but for anyone that has a garage, having an electric car and just plugging it in overnight covers pretty much everything, with maybe the odd public charging on a road trip.

jonne ,

I mean, does it really matter unless they live in like one of 6 swing states? If you live in a blue or red state (which is most Americans) you should really vote third party, and they shouldn’t be scolded for that.

jonne ,

Voting Greens in New York state (for example) is a valid option, and if they meet a certain threshold (5%?) they can get campaign financing to do the things you talk about.

jonne ,

Can you translate this into English please?

jonne ,

Or just read the myriad of books by black authors that detail their experience? He really thought we needed a white perspective on that.

jonne ,

It is a colony. The King of England can just fire the Prime Minister any time he likes.

jonne ,

Nobody’s fucking saying that, Jesus Christ. We know they’re equally as bad or worse, but can we please just call out democrats on their bullshit without someone going ‘durr Trump worse’?

jonne ,

Dunno, I don’t think I want to see her try and be sexy at her current age.

jonne ,

Nope, it’s just going to be more proof that he’s the guy to take on the ‘deep state’ and so on in their minds.

jonne ,

Pretty bad to admit it outright if you’re supposed to lie about stuff like that.

No it didn’t. They worked as designed, in way rougher waters than the Mediterranean.

European diplomats warn Rafah strike could lead to strict interpretation of ICJ ruling (www.haaretz.com)

Western diplomats warned Monday that European countries may strictly interpret the International Court of Justice’s decision on the Israel Defense Forces’ operation in Rafah following the deadly incident in which dozens of civilians died as a result of an Israeli attack on the city overnight into Monday....

jonne ,

The Hamas-led fire brigade obviously allowed the fire to continue to burn. /s

jonne ,

They’ve been ignoring it successfully so far. International law means jack shit, it’s just a fig leaf the West uses to punish enemies and make it seem like it’s not purely about power for domestic consumption.

‘Exterminate the beasts’: How Israeli settlers took revenge for a murder in the West Bank (www.bbc.com)

What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.

There’s multiple reasons:

  • Zionists have made it a priority to make sure they have their people / sympathisers in high places in politics and media. Anyone who even hints at considering calling Palestinians people gets pushed out.
  • Israel is a laboratory for ‘policing’, anti-terrorism and surveillance tactics. This technology and know-how is indispensable for both the ‘democracies’ in the West and dictatorships, including Arab dictatorships that pay lip service to the Palestinian cause, but don’t actually do anything. If crowd control tactics work on Palestinians, they work on leftie protestors and civil rights movements in the West and popular democratic movements in authoritarian regimes.
  • people don’t want to be called anti-semites (especially in Europe, where every country has a horrific history with that), which is why they’ve been trying very hard to conflate Zionism with Jewishness.
  • there’s also a global right-wing nationalism on the rise, where people like Modi, Orban, Trump, Netanyahu, … sort of espouse the same rhetoric that used to be limited to white supremacy, but it’s just applied to their ethnicity/race/religious group. The neo-nazis are still anti-semites, but they see Israel as the place they can ship all the Jews to when the time comes. Israel’s actions making Jews outside of Israel a target for retaliation plays into that as well.
