Fucking inflation, I only have a $1.05

Muslim nurse in New York fired after calling Israel's war in Gaza 'genocide' (www.reuters.com)

WASHINGTON, May 30 (Reuters) - A New York City hospital fired a Palestinian American Muslim nurse after she called Israel’s war in Gaza a “genocide” during an acceptance speech for an award for her work with bereaved mothers who lost their children during pregnancy and childbirth....

must be getting pretty good at making them if the US is starting to roll back restrictions.

or maybe that limited use is only for civilian minorities.

if I know anything about advisory councils in tech it was pure optics and letting them all go will have absolutely zero impact on the normal flow of business beside the current bad press.

I would love to know if they ever affected company policy even slightly.

UNACCEPTABLE

metaStatic ,

it's rather telling that when we refer to war criminals our first thought is Israelis not Hamas now ...

metaStatic ,

you're right, that's an easy assumption to make on the fediverse.

but it was most certainly the goal of Hamass to make Israel go full mask off for the world to see and they haven't disappointed.

Kicked macOS to the Curb and Installed Asahi Fedora Gnome

Most of the switching posts are from frustrated windows users making the jump. I’m already a Linux user on my server (Ubuntu for now, going Debian at some point) and a 2014 iMac for tinkering/testing (KDE Neon), and a couple of raspberry pis (raspberry pi os headless) but our main household computer is an M1 Mac mini that my...

I recently got into the apple ecosystem and am loving it.

I know this is a linux community and apple is literally the devil but I haven't had a bad experience with it yet.

metaStatic ,

I have a few 2015 laptops, the last time the apple logo lights up like it damn well should, (and their operating systems are still getting updates almost a decade later) ipods and an iphone 6 I've fixed, apple TV because it was cheap enough. all told I'm in it for less than the cost of a new macbook and apple hasn't got a cent yet. I have an imac from 2008 I found on the side of the road that actually needs linux but a computer of that vintage in 2008 would be a paperweight at best, the fact it's still useful as a computer at all is astonishing to me.

I had a 7800 with custom bios and ram cart and would play a kaboom hack that started at max difficulty and ramped from there

a lot of early 2000s 2600 homebrews would probably make my list but Thrust+ is the GOAT

It would literally be the only affordable housing in the country.

Unrelated question, how hard is it to de-transition?

metaStatic ,

when a carboard box 3 hours from the city costs a million dollars I'd wager there are a lot of people who aren't above getting top surgery just to afford a roof over their head.

Hamas launches rocket attack towards Tel Aviv area (www.bbc.com)

Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.

Show me any nation state that isn't. I'd be really interested if there are actually any.

An Important Hypothetical - What Android Apps Do You Install?? (sh.itjust.works)

You’re twelve years old on Thanksgiving at six thirty in the morning. You’ll be leaving for Grandma’s in about a half hour, and she’s lives a three hour drive away, going in one direction. You have nothing to prepare yourself on this journey, other than a tablet running Android Eleven. Beware, the speaker is broken and...

18+ How do things get stuck in the anus?

I have seen a lot of stories online of people getting things stuck in there and doctors having to remove it, even items like cucumbers. I get that an item with a highly irregular shape could get stuck. But if it’s something long and rounded, why can people not just poop it out? Is it because the item isn’t soft enough?

Thank god they're focusing on the real issues

Windows running on a VM under linux runs faster than windows on bare metal ...

metaStatic ,

it's not a drop in replacement and anyone looking for one will be disappointed by literally anything available.

You're learning an entirely new operating system, don't think of it as an upgrade, this is a time sink. You'll be under the hood more than on the road for the foreseeable future, but what's the alternative?

metaStatic ,

the best jokes have a kernel of truth.

The VM is optimised for the OS, the OS is usually a fresh install with just that 1 program you need to use instead of you're entire life scattered across the desktop, it can be a snapshot of the system in an optimal state right after running an unfuck windows script that removes default system malware which doesn't let it reinstall, it has less system resources to deal with for the simple fact it can't use them all at the same time as the base OS.

it is my contention that you could eat any random items form the perimeter of the store and be healthier than anyone that buys items from the health food aisle.

Food is an ingredient, it shouldn't have ingredients

metaStatic ,

did it come out of a box pre-made?

metaStatic ,

pretty much.

it's an oversimplification that works well enough. don't get me started on flour though ...

(I'm of the opinion that if it didn't have parents it isn't food either but that doesn't need to be a conversation)

that doesn't need to be a conversation

I'm not against transhumanism, but if there isn't an attainable goal you're just getting stuck in the trans part. I'll let you be the test pilot.

Have you tried making art? I hear mental disorders are a pre-requisite to being successful at that.

"This thing that is terrible for everyone is also terrible for this specific subset of everyone ..."

also rating social media apps is like rating your favourite STDs

depends if you think anonymous interactions are as impactful as people you actually know.

oh god, is this actually worse?

The studio cash grab explosion of streaming services is simply too inconvenient.
Subbing to everything you want to watch would still be cheaper than renting it all before streaming.
But Netflix has changed the value proposition and the stuidios are slitting their own throats trying to catch up.
