International court rules Switzerland violated human rights in landmark climate case brought by 2,000 women (www.cnn.com)

An international court in France on Tuesday ruled Switzerland’s failure to adequately tackle the climate crisis was in violation of human rights, in a landmark climate judgment that could have a ripple effect across the globe....

Have you ever heard that “there is no such thing as bad publicity?” We have no clue if Greta helped bring attention of WHY this heat wave is occurring; they could have easily assumed it was natural to begin with.

It’s because she didn’t wear the special glasses. Or mental illness; probably the latter.

mightyfoolish ,

I had to explain to someone that the glasses are needed because you never stare at the sun no matter how dim it may seem. I’m not sure what they originally thought the glasses were for but I get the idea they thought the eclipse was giving of weird energy or powers…

Let’s not forget the racism as well.

It’s insane at how influential the Catholic Church is with their followers considering how far spread out their followers are. They have to be the most influential organization ever, right?

Then explain your father and your current wife.

I think I know what happened. Russia’s capital is in the Eastern Orthodox region of the country. They celebrate big Christian holidays such as Christmas using the Julian calendar; so about two weeks later than most. So, it makes sense that they celebrate the smaller holidays one week late. April Fools?

But it was tan. 😱

There is a study on how most Americans view religion and how it is connected to social and political norms. This “version” of Christianity is called “American Civil Religion” in the relevant sociology sub-field. I know about the articles that compare Trump to the Antichrist do so in good faith (pardon the pun) but anything from old Christian traditions isn’t the focus of this sect; proof as things such as military involvement, Memorial Day, wording from the Constitution and Declaration of Independence are considered sacred.

Thus, especially in rural and suburban areas where culture is more monotone; Jesus is more of these people’s “identity” rather than an example to live by (perhaps that is why identity talk seems to scare them). Once again proof, there is an American version of Christianity that is the main culture of the US.

Being Republican or Democrat does not matter much in this case as both are of the American culture. Obviously, it is up to the individual to decide how much of this should be codified into law.

tl;dr: What some of you might find ironic is the studying of a religion is absolutely necessary to understanding a person’s own religion without culture “baggage” (which in my own personal experience makes a person less of an extremest, see certain ultra-orthodox Jews: reddit.com/…/antizionist_hassidic_jews_a_thread/)

mightyfoolish ,

👍 Agreed.

mightyfoolish ,

I agree. The cold war has changed the culture of this country. Just look at how much more of a socialist Eisenhower is compared to today’s politicians. Which is crazy as he is what passed as a Republican in his era.

Ukraine embraces far-right Russian ‘bad guy’ to take the battle to Putin (www.politico.eu)

Kapustin is indeed dressed in black for his discussion with POLITICO in a downtown Kyiv hotel — though his clothing is free of any neo-Nazi logos or flashes. That’s despite the fact he runs a far-right apparel line of T-shirts and caps emblazoned with white nationalist and xenophobic imagery as well as the Nazi symbol 88 —...

Here is what I can find about this mysterious fellow. I was wondering why a Russian was helping Ukraine fight Russia and how a Russian became a Neo-Nazi. He is part of a group of Russians that do oppose Putin and part of a group based in Ukraine called “Russian Volunteer Corps.”

In 2001, when he was 17, Kapustin’s family moved to Cologne, Germany.[5] According to Der Spiegel, the Kapustin family received a permanent residence permit as Russian Jews. However, asked about her ethnic background and her alleged Jewish origins by the Spiegel journalists, Kapustin’s mother simply described herself as “a Russian woman”

During his time in Cologne, Kapustin was radicalised and became a well-known far-right figure who was associated with the far-right hooligan

His reach was limited in 2019 when Germany issued him a Schengen ban, or European-wide ban for “efforts against the liberal democratic constitution”.[8] This also applies to Switzerland.

If someone wanted to do an actual Nazi takeover of Ukraine, it would be this guy. Calling this guy a double edged sword is an understatement.

Maybe he loves Hitler so much he’s trying to revenge against Mother Russia?

They are 100% going make allusions to the plagues of Egypt. Then they will blame the transgender people because they wore the “wrong pair” of trousers.

Anonymous users are dominating right-wing discussions online. They also spread false information (apnews.com)

I truly am curious on why you think someone is spreading this amount of misinformation as a joke. Usually I see explanations such as:

  1. Russia and China are perpetrators of most of the misinformation
  2. Conservatives spreading misinformation (that they do believe) in order to make their conclusions more plausible (see Charlie Kirk)

I know trolls exist but could they really be this influential? I would hope not.

Like the recent Rudy Guiliani’s joke about New York (a place he ran) being a communist state. That seems to add up.

Israel says its strike that killed aid workers was a mistake. Rights groups say it was no anomaly (apnews.com)

Two basic mistakes, according to the Israeli military. First, an officer overlooked a message detailing the vehicles in the convoy. Second, a spotter saw something in one car – possibly a bag – that he thought was a weapon. Officials say the result was the series of Israeli drone strikes that killed seven aid workers on a...

What we should do is convert Palestines to the old Pagan religion of Europe and then give Europe to them.

Yes, this was sarcasm.

Saudi is a US alley.

Egypt is under a dictatorship after the military removed the elected official. Egypt hasn’t been the same since France tricked them by pretending to be allies.

Turkey is like two bad moves from being nuked by either US or Russia (Russia falling would seriously relieve a ton of pressure off Turkey and Syria).

Libya still has no government.

Iraq is run by rapist opioid lords set up by Bush II.

Syria is occupied by Russia, Israel, a crappy dictator, and ISIS.

I’m honestly not sure why Lebanon seems to be going bad.

Saudi, US, and Israel have been doing Gaza tactics in Yemen for a long time. They still are the only country helping Palestine. Israel is actually running out of cars which is ironic as they blew up so many Palestinian cars about 12 months ago.

Clearly Biden has an infinite money supply and could go around Congress at any moment. Why doesn’t he just pay for all of it?

Why is this college tuition money so hard for Biden to obtain when he is currently going over the head of a different branch of government to get large amounts of money. What’s stopping him in this specific case? What works in the other case?

He has done it before.

I wonder what they will choose for their base. I was surprised LiMux was based off Debian since Suse is headquartered in Luxembourg City. I personally would welcome a large organization choosing Suse products as we need more competition for RHEL (which would be a huge boon in productivity since we won’t need like 3 projects to spend a decent amount of time repackaging RHEL).

mightyfoolish ,

SCSV (semicolon separated values) at least sounds like an upgrade to CSV. Or maybe just use something that is flexible but is standard like JSON?

Nix does have an interesting package manager.

The states are paying them to support a desktop, not an OS to run whatever on.

Don’t they need money to fund both aspects? Is there any support to lean on someone goes with Nix?

A lot of governments in the US pretty much go through Microsoft for simplicity. There’s a lot of software obtained from a single vendor. I suppose that’s why rhel is so popular.

mightyfoolish ,

Yeah, I get what you mean. I’m so overprotective of my dishwasher I actually pre-scrub plates very quickly so not to clog the dishwasher (which is pretty similar to sanitizing inputs for putting them in a database I guess). 😊 It’s still much faster than doing the dishes by hands.

But the point is something simple can run on a simple device with minimal supervision.

mightyfoolish ,

Good to know. I did not realize that this team was this large. I hope it works out.

mightyfoolish ,

I don’t know if you understood my original post, it was too get an alternative to an enterprise distro with vendor paid support. In this regard the alternatives to Debian are more OpenSuse and Rocky, not RHEL (this is not a comparison of quality).

Yeah, the other alternative would be to set up a consultation company that is based around Debian. I guess that is what Dataport is supposed to be then, the support. It’s s different route but still works.

Welcome to the last 7 decades. (Before this “war” they killed at least 1 Palestinian child per hour and have always imprisoned Palestinians on made up charges.)

Genocide against Palestinians is okay because you are racist against Iranians (a country the US and Israel is oddly keen on sabotaging in every way possible).

mightyfoolish ,

There’s probably 300 million Arabs in the world. There’s a few billion people “in the world just shit post ‘genocide!’ all day” for very good reasons.

Doesn’t Iran have loyal Jewish citizens?

They should totally know they are about to be genocided… /s

Absolutely, who knows what will happen when these racists are done with Gaza.

Israel moves to shut down Al Jazeera after new law allows for ‘security threat’ bans on international media | CNN (edition.cnn.com)

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to shut down news network Al Jazeera following the passage Monday of a sweeping law allowing the government to ban foreign networks perceived as posing a threat to national security....

mightyfoolish ,

To be fair Al Jazeera is “anti-Semitic” [read: doesn’t agree with Zionist propaganda]. Just like Tiktok which needs to be sold all of a sudden (I guess last year it wasn’t ran by the Chinese.) Anything “anti-Semitic” needs to be banned.

Perhaps a minority by population (I doubt this myself) but a majority by surface area (which matters a lot in federal elections).

If a Dutch person was elected the other countries will just see it as “another westerner telling them what real culture looks like.” A person from the strictest Arab country can offer a better view into important changes that can/need to be made.

Linux is

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

It’s something we will never know. I did hear Israel has a division of people meant to astroturf reddit and other sites (which is supposed to be against reddit’s terms of services). Always be careful when dealing with internet strangers.

Interestingly, someone who defended Israel tried to shift some of the blame to the Romans last week (yes, I do get it was sarcasm but now all I hear in my head is: “The Romans, also are Hamas.”)
