Hamas Wants Guarantees Ceasefire Will Actually Happen, While US Says Hamas Is Rejecting the Proposal (truthout.org)

Following the UN Security Council vote to approve a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza, U.S. officials and other international allies of Israel are cynically placing blame on Hamas for a stall in current ceasefire negotiations — even as Israel has insisted on indefinitely continuing its massacre in Gaza and Hamas has said its main...

How the hell Hamas are the good guys when they’re the ones that pushed Israel for so long that it finally snapped? Have we forgotten them proudly parading a dead/unconscious girl nude around the streets.

rikudou ,

Not a straw man, but whatever. If you fail to see that the comment I was replying to is basically “they’re not the good guys, BUT…”, not much to discuss. I’ll maybe just add that a few years ago, when comments like “I’m not racist, BUT…” were everywhere, people like you were going around telling everyone that the part before the BUT doesn’t count, so I took the liberty of ignoring it.

So, is it hypocrisy or just cognitive dissonance?

rikudou ,

Did I say that? Just to clarify: I didn’t and I don’t think so.

I know it’s hard to grasp, but there are people who think the hamas terrorists are disgusting and at the same time the Israeli genocide is disgusting.

You know that you don’t have to support terrorists just to condemn a genocide, right?

rikudou ,

They aren’t the good guys. Neither are the terrorists who murdered Israelis long before the current conflict. You realize you don’t have to support terrorists to be against a genocide, right?

rikudou ,

Nope.

rikudou ,

Everything before the “but” doesn’t count, you know?

rikudou ,

At least I’m not too disgusting, otherwise I might go around and start calling people names online to feel like a big boy. I’m tired of you tools supporting terrorists and somehow pretending that’s fine because Israel is bad.

rikudou ,

How am I supposed to answer a stupid question like that? Should I elaborate or what? They asked a stupid question, they got a stupid answer, end of story. Look through my history if you fancy so, I’m not a troll, I’m just tired of people like you. I’m all grown up, so guess I’ll have to fuck off. Not engaging with you does not sound that bad.

rikudou ,

Cry me a river, perhaps?

So, the photography competition that was won by an AI image shouldn’t have disqualified the image?

rikudou ,

What a load of bull crap. GDP PPP does not mean they’re the 4th largest economy, even if the numbers could be trusted (no idea if they can, I don’t really care).

Also the comment from that Russian fella is hilarious - apparently they have larger salaries than Americans! Especially funny given the context where the USA is above Russia in GDP PPP.

Usually when you talk about “largest economies”, you talk about nominal GDP. And congrats Russia, thanks to waging a war, you have apparently fallen out of the top ten!

In short, this is a propaganda piece which is intentionally very misleading and full of lies and half-thruths.

Hey, I love my kernel processes! Especially my LLM kernel processes.

rikudou ,

What the hell is the fella smoking if he thinks Apple would ever let others use their on-device LLM? Like, the company that deems it too dangerous if apps could change a wallpaper?

rikudou OP ,

I have no idea why you would use a pen to turn pages???

Because the pen can be held in the other hand which can be anywhere - you turn the page with a click of a button. And the pen doesn’t have to be anywhere near the screen. After a few hours of reading you can feel the difference between having your hand in a natural position and forcing it in a position to be able to turn the pages.

Until someone makes a frontend for syncthing that’s significantly dumbed down, it’s not elitist.

Participate in Decision-Making Research

Hi all! A group of researchers from two major U.S. universities is seeking to understand how people act on Darknet forums and markets. We would very much appreciate your responses. Our anonymous survey can be found here: blocksurvey.io/darknet-decision-making-survey-Cqo… (supports Tor) or here...

rikudou ,

So, as mentioned in the post, I, an admin of lemmings.world, have reviewed the claims to the best of my abilities over the last few days and everything seems legit.

Note that you should still be cautious when sharing information like that and especially if you share information about your darknet activities, always use Tor or something that anonymizes you the same or better.

Yes, when a dictator actively oppressing his people, particularly women, says you’re doing good, you should feel proud.

Edit:

Published on his official website on Thursday, the letter addresses students whose “awakened conscience has moved them to defend the oppressed women and children of Gaza.”

Holy mother of all cognitive dissonances.

rikudou ,

Do you feel like there are only two choices? I support Israel striking back when Hamas started a war they had no chance of winning. Doesn’t mean I support how they’re doing it and I don’t think the crimes they’re committing currently are any good.

So yes, they should feel “proud” a scumbag like Trump endorses them.

In an ideal world both the students and Israel would say “wait, that piece of shit says we’re doing good, maybe we should take 5 to rethink what we’re doing”. But we don’t live in an ideal world.

As a side note, I truly envy people who can view things so clearly so easily, like unequivocally supporting Palestine or Israel without seeing the very shitty things both are (or were recently) doing. While I envy such people, I definitely don’t want to be around them - people who have easy answers to complex issues are rarely correct.

rikudou ,

With your mindset we’d still be in the stone age.

You know there are already stone tools, right?

rikudou ,

Are we? Still too poor to own stuff because generations before us are hoarding riches like they could take them to the grave.

rikudou ,

If you truly feel that European racism is in any way comparable to US racism, maybe think again.

People asking you to show your badge when your white friends don’t have to sucks and I believe is very demeaning and humiliating. But it’s miles away from being shot at or being afraid that your local hillbillies gonna revive the old customs of hanging black fellas.

rikudou ,

Just give him the traffic. Traffic without actually believing the stuff there is just costs him money and gives him nothing.

rikudou ,

They’ll give you $2 or something like that if you give them consent. You would be surprised how well that works.

rikudou ,

For my use case Revolut mostly replaced it.

rikudou ,

That’s very different, they want you to either pay or not have access. This would be you still having access, but being paid for giving them data voluntarily.

That’s perfectly legal and employed across many European business entities.

There were some recent studies that early childhood trauma can cause it, which would explain why I suffer from aphantasia. Or I’m “lucky” to just inherit the bad genes.

And funny enough, my partner also has hyperphantasia.

A random thought, one thing that recently occurred to me, I often forget were I’ve placed things, that’s because usually people just picture where they’ve seen them. At least my partner does that.

rikudou ,

Exactly that! Wish I knew I had this condition in high school when I was forced to read The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. It was a torture I’d happily pass.

rikudou ,

In a sense, yes. All those other fuckers are a distant past when people were dumber and the Catholic church was a global political power.

At least to me it’s more acceptable that they did it to maintain control over a whole continent, that’s human behaviour and perfectly understandable, even if shitty. But this here is worse because there’s no other reason than people truly believing in it.

I’m kinda afraid when I’m surrounded by psychos whose imaginary all-powerful friend tells them what to do and who believe a random dead dude did a miracle.

rikudou ,

And it feels wrong for this comic.

rikudou ,

Weird way to spell NixOS.

rikudou ,

But a decade from now, there will be AI trained on data that will no longer exist. And many websites that GPT trained on probably don’t exist anymore.

rikudou ,

Isn’t it? I think it’s quite there, unless you get unlucky with hardware.

rikudou ,

Gaming is no longer a reason, really. 99% of the time it works out of the box.

rikudou ,

Well, I was comparing to my experience with both Windows and MacOS or whatever is the thing called.

Windows PC gets slow and laggy after around half a year, it goes slowly so you don’t notice at first, but around half a year later it’s shitty. No matter the hardware. Sure, your $2k laptop won’t be as slow as a random $300 laptop, but the ratio of new/half-a-year-later is more or less the same.

With Macs I have limited experience, but my partner’s Mac was shitting itself all the time, weird issues with login screen being stuck and needing hard reboot, the thing generally being laggy when you try to do more than two things (neither of which necessarily needs to be a demanding task), Finder is pretty much an abomination that no one really knows how to use well and so on.

Sure, Linux is fucked up all the time as well, but my point is it’s not worse than the other two systems, both are broken all the time as well. And the argument that you need terminal to work - have you actually fixed any problem on Windows? Unless a reboot of the system or of some service solves the problem, within 10 minutes you’re either running PowerShell or you’re deep in the registry.

Well, at least Windows seems to be a problem that’s solving itself (albeit very slowly) with how shitty it’s become.

rikudou ,

What the hell even is that word? Does that mean that you react to something? Because everyone does.

I’m seeing the word thrown around lately and it’s one of the dumber reductionist labels I’ve seen in my lifetime.

rikudou ,

Nah, we’re gonna play by the rules with bad actors who only abuse it. That’s how we’ll win, right? Because all the fairy tales said the good guys win, right?

In the end Russia will see the error of their ways, a unicorn will fly out of my ass while shitting rainbows and everything will be good.

rikudou ,

Thanks for explaining a joke that has been running around forever.

rikudou ,

Isn’t any math operation involving NaNs also a NaN? At least that’s my gut feeling.

rikudou ,

In my language, onanování is masturbating. And onan is a mild insult insinuating that someone wanks a lot.

rikudou ,

Not the same thing, I’m pretty sure something like that is in almost any language, but here it’s the official word for male masturbation, not some niche word that’s not really used much.

I know the story and you’re right, it’s pretty dumb how it’s used.

rikudou ,

So, is there a community for redneck engineering?

rikudou ,

Turn back time and don’t leave the union that actually does pro-consumer things?

rikudou ,

As I said, reduced ad absurdum. Just read through it, nowhere in the text there’s anything about criticism of Jews being equal to antisemitism.

rikudou ,

I’ve never encountered it here on Lemmy.

rikudou ,

As I said, beyond help.
