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

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.

jonne ,

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulberry_harbour

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

jonne ,

You mean hosting your own crawler/indexer? That doesn’t really sound like a thing you could do cost-effectively.

jonne ,

Yeah, I guess the P2P component sort of solves part of the issue I was imagining by distributing indexes and crawling. I was thinking that people were trying to run all of Google on a raspberry pi at home.

[US] I'm hesitating launching my own business because I'd lose health insurance for my family. What are my options?

I have everything pretty much ready to launch full time. Time, skills, customers, support from family. But I’d leave my current job behind and with it my family’s health insurance for the foreseeable future. I can’t afford any of the options I’ve seen. It’s the one thing holding me back. Any ideas for affordable health...

jonne ,

Could you do your startup in a different country?

jonne ,

Fwiw, I could still see it, so maybe it got restored.

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.

jonne , (edited )

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.
jonne ,

The Atlantic is anything but left in general.

jonne ,

As they should, it was always a terrible plan. The US should instead apply pressure (eg. no more bombs unless you let aid through) on Israel instead. This (and the air drops) was always a way to avoid having to do that.

jonne , (edited )

I didn’t even mention the guy? Trump would’ve probably told Netanyahu to nuke Gaza. Either way you have genocide with both.

jonne ,

Israel is basically untouched except for like 2 tiny villages, wtf is he talking about. Everything’s projection.

jonne ,

What did they lose?

jonne ,

There’s a lot more need than pre-invasion levels. There was local agriculture in Gaza, functional bakeries, a water pipeline, electricity, etc.

Now all of those things need to be trucked in instead.

jonne ,

Pretty much, yeah.

jonne ,

You’re always supposed to use multiple methods regardless.

jonne , (edited )

It’s just a question of shifting load. As electric cars become more common you could program the residential and parking chargers to only charge when electricity is free and stuff like that.

jonne ,

You don’t have time to be depressed when you’re trying to fix xorg.conf. (yeah, I know, super dated reference, Linux is actually so good these days I can’t find an equivalent joke).

jonne ,

TIL China will kidnap people globally for saying the wrong thing.

jonne ,

Eh, they might’ve been cheering for the orca.

jonne ,

To be fair, if you did you’d keep that shit to yourself. Same with all the people that work multiple remote Dev jobs.

jonne ,

Yep exactly. And what happens if Republicans win Congress later, put up the same bill and democrats vote against it? Now suddenly they’re the ones accused of playing games instead of ‘trying to solve the border issue’.

jonne ,

Yeah, it’s not like there’s been a good track record in Latin America of socialism being allowed to be implemented. There’s basically 2 countries you could call socialist, and both are sanctioned and under constant threat of regime change.

jonne ,

Eventually even those customers will look at alternatives too if there’s only like 50 companies worldwide using it.

jonne ,

The reason is probably that too many people got caught liking questionable content through the likes page.

jonne ,

I mean, aren’t they always? If someone starts shooting at an FBI agent they’re not going to call their field office for permission to shoot back.

jonne ,

But it doesn’t do anything about inequality. Rich kids will have an even bigger tax shelter to retire on while poor kids will have nothing. This is a tax break for the wealthy.

The NYPD's Public Relations Staff has More Than Doubled in the Past Two Years (nysfocus.com)

In a statement, Brooklyn Councilmember Lincoln Restler pointed to the contrast between the dcpi’s staffing surge and Mayor Eric Adams’s cuts to other city services, including hundreds of layoffs in the Department of Buildings. “It’s stunning to see the nypd Communications Department more than double to 86 staff while so...

jonne ,

And yet those people get to go on TV and they’re never challenged on their personal behaviour. Call peaceful protestors terrorists with a history like that.

jonne ,

Yep, turbulence will affect any plane, it’s not like things would’ve been different on an Airbus.

jonne ,

And Biden has been a Zionist since entering Congress. AIPAC probably didn’t even have to pay him. His famous empathy doesn’t extend to Palestiniens (or other people of colour).

jonne ,

Definitely worked for me.

US focused on hunting down Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, in bid to end Gaza war (www.middleeasteye.net)

The United States is focused on tracking down Hamas’s Gaza chief, Yahya Sinwar, amid a new push by the White House to help Israel declare “total victory” so it can bring an end to the war on Gaza, US officials have told Middle East Eye....

jonne ,

Yeah, if I was in Gaza those last 6 months I’d probably be looking to join any organisation that would give me a chance to kill some IDF soldiers of I was going to die anyway.

jonne ,

Hilarious that he thought he could have a birthday and duck a subpoena at the same time. These people aren’t willing to give up anything to stay out of prison.

jonne ,

A homeless person that never got the help they needed.

jonne ,

And it’s a way to show how powerful you are. Breaking the law with impunity while others get punished for less shows that you shouldn’t mess with the leader.

jonne ,

Largely depends on how many tourists have been there since, really.

jonne ,

Wasn’t it typical to size figures by their importance? IE. Depict Gods as huge, Kings slightly smaller, etc?
