Thanks for the better article. Still wild how little restraint Israel is showing, even if this wasn’t retribution. Though don’t think they are above such things.

The old fascist tactic of accusing the other side of the things you’re guilty of.

Really telling on yourself here! Would be funny if you weren’t so sad.

This “failed state” Palestine would be the most free they have been in the better part of a century. Having a right of return, protections from illegal settlers, representation in the UN etc. The last free election in Gaza was also a narrow win for Hamas, and stability of statehood would be quite deradicalizing

Hell, even just control over their own electric, water, and internet access would be a game changer for Gaza.

You can maybe have a Gaza state, but Israel has destroyed any hope of a united west bank that could be meaningfully called a state. Unless they also returned all stolen land, but those illegal settlers are the most extreme.

Israel has no incentive to stop. Even cutting funding won’t. They’ve made so much headway in their genocide they want to finish and set up their new canal through Gaza to rival Suez. (Surprise surprise another colonial asset to defend next time they want to do a massacre).

There needs to be a massive surge of BDS and frankly nations sending peacekeeping troops willing to check IDF aggression while rebuilding.

Honestly even if we just cut out pork…this animal is as smart as dogs and just as social and loving.

Insurance companies will love the new discrimination machine, best not think about how it handles edge cases /s

This sort of AI use should be banned outside of a research context.

I like the idea of having a few OP abilities, but having them require non-trivial preparation within an encounter. E.g. “charging” for several turns without moving or taking damage.

Thousands of Palestinians held without trial for years.

Tens of thousands dead Palestinians, most of which children.

Many more displaced, being pushed out of Gaza to be refugees.

For months, they have been denied food, water, electricity, and Internet.

Meanwhile,

Israel uses AI to find 100s if targets daily, using drones and aircrafts. No boots on the ground. Billions in international aid. The people living life largely uninterrupted. Settlers getting more and more “free” land.

Can you piece together why the focus is on Israel?

As an american jew, hostages don’t justify genocide. Never again means never again.

They’ve already killed more Palestinian civilians than Russians did Ukrainian civilians. In one month.

If one side can turn off the other sides water and communications at will…it’s not a war. Hamas is a fractured and opportunistic militia, without enough sovereignty to actually govern.

To also highlight, half of Palestinians are undrr 20 years old, so at most 4 years old when Hamas was elected. Hamas supporters also represented about 45% of the votes, compared to the 42% voting for the progressive party. They spoke for half of a mostly dead generation, and have since been left holding the bag as the only defense force as palestine is fractured by illegal settlments and bombed to hell.

I really struggle to see what leverage Hamas gains by fudging their numbers. It feels like a talking point to reduce the fatality count.

This number, half this number, quarter this number… the political reality is the same. Murmurs of condemnation while the US keeps the money pump going, Israel keeps commiting war crimes, and Palestine shrinks into nothing.

Hope you remember in 20 years you were posting genocide denial rhetoric in your free time and feel ashamed. Same points used un many other genocides.

Zero evidence, and portrays how little you know about the organization. Nice knee jerk against defending human rights though

To be a bit more precise, Signal is against federation from two angles:

• Innovation: Signal values absolute control over the protocol so that they can more rapidly implement UX experiences scene in other modern messaging apps. It also eliminates malicious or outdated servers changing the UX between users. Ultimately folks won’t blame the servers, they’ll blame the app, and stop using it.

• No rope for users: They seem pretty confident that the Apple-style of software and UX is right— if a user can change stuff enough to break it, they will. For secure messaging, they’d rather users have fewer choices to be sure it is secure.

They also have lesson plans if you wanted to teach others: https://sec.eff.org

Though I haven’t seen a cryptoparty near me in ages :(

And NYC is wildly over-policed.

I swear, some people have never met a societal problem they didn’t want to throw a cop at. Meanwhile we have more cops and prisoners per Capita than most of the world, funny how that works…

Dangerous to think you’re more media literate than you are.

1. Not linking a source

Very common for reports or scientific articles, where a sharable link is not readily available. Take it up with the city council who received the report being slow. The claims are sourced, and that source is credible, that’s what matters.

1. “News website”

Aka, a website you don’t know. Nola.com is a reputable local site, but that hardly matters here because the link is backing up a matter of public record— the previous FR ban was reversed.

1. Link to Twitter

It’s funny, what representatives say publicly is indeed newsworthy. When such statements happen on Twitter, you link to Twitter. Shocking, I know.

1. Opinions

Maybe you haven’t read a news article before, but providing the opinions of both sides of an issue is common practice, so that the reader has context and can consider their own position

Nuclear (+ renewables) powering walkable cities ftw.

Not even just for the climate, we’d probably cut asthma and a dozen cancer rates with the clean air.
