Ah yes gender politics, only thing missing from Star Trek themed discussion.

The point is; he wants a Framework-like approach to modularity and feature set. That means a phone that's good enough to actually holds its own without retreating to being "ethical" or "modular."

Fairphone is just the worst deal you can get even if you consider the ethical side of it. This is because rescuing an old phone gives you a much better experience for less than half the cost and keeping tech from the landfill is a lot more ecologically friendly as the work and sourcing was already done regardless of you purchasing the device.

back-to-back lying to the public

What?

sexual harassment debacles

... that none of which ended up in the court let alone confirmed. That's an allegation, not something proven.

They've been sleazy for years, taking money from companies they claim to review impartially, and twisting everything into a meme factory instead of putting the tiniest amount of effort into quality reviews and tech journalism.

Straight up one of the points GN made. Which they really did improve upon. They don't pump out as much content now, as well as generally higher quality content again.

salvage his reputation after covering up toxic and predatory workplace behaviour

:D

coming out the other side a multimillionaire.

Guy created and ran a YouTube channel, expanded it to be a media company. Hosts a forum, sells high quality merchandise (you can look up the coverage of their bag or screwdrivers from places like project farm). Also runs a premium video hosting and live streaming service for creators. That's what we call "earned it."

This comment just reeks of toxicity, rather than criticism.

This was the pipe dream for many many years now. Not the first time MS is talking about it either.

It's a thing in the Linux world and it's just too costly to support and therefore most user facing distros outright don't support it.

A lot worse. Was tired of the [removed] trope whenever mods did something incredibly stupid.

Not being open source ≠ not safe.

Microsoft ships hardened Chromium basically, with sandboxing turned up to eleven.

They also run their SmartScreen filtering on top of that.

Also, Firefox is more private, not secure. Either you run LibreFox or it's less secure than Edge by default.

Egypt won't allow 2 million Refugees passing their small part of the border.

Turkey hosts 10+ million, what's stopping Egypt here? They also openly support Palestine afaik.

Expecting Egypt to act is more realistic than expecting Israel to return fire.

What do you expect them to do? Hamas is currently bombing Tel Aviv, no?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

To correct myself, worst I've seen today would be a much better sentence.

bombing hospitals

Hamas did exactly the same this time, so they're now the same shit in different colors.

Oh and of course there is the constant killing of Palestinians over the years, like the murder of a journalist last year.

This is true, but it's still much more humane than stripping down a dead body and carry it around the world to see. One is shitty, other one is straight up barbaric.

This video is a great example, even though it's not the longest of specific scene you could find. Turns out she was a German citizen, a tattoo artist, only half Israeli. She was there to attend to a festival for the peace in Gazza.

but not this time

Hamas started this one with a coordinated attack on 5000(?) locations.

Interesting. I'm Turkish, had Palestinian and Jordanian(?) friends along with Turkish friends alongside buddies who served in healthcare for both sides. Just about everyone who were religious in those groups had a burning hatred for Israel specifically. To a point where they get happy whenever things happen to religious people. We're not just talking about some zealots here, we're talking about more than half the people I know.

This is why I assumed it's quite literally impossible. Interesting that it actually might be!

Islamists want to be ruled under Islamic regime as depicted in Quran. In fact, all Muslim countries in the middle east abide by this. Unfortunately, they're also fully dead set on this.

As an added bonus, Jews are literally "race that was despised by Allah (translating from Turkish here, might not be correct)" so there's absolutely zero chance anything diplomatic could happen. Even if Israel decides to give everything up.

The potential solution would be Turkiye managing this situation but that's even more outlandish.
