@chaser plot twist. McBride wasn’t trying to expose war crimes.

    @WayneKoberstein @Infoseepage @DrALJONES @pleaseclap if you are encouraging ppl to abstain from voting for Biden you are helping Trump win.

    @Infoseepage @DrALJONES @WayneKoberstein @pleaseclap Trump supports Israel. Trump moved the American embassy to where they wanted it to be. Senior republicans have called for Palestine to be nuked. This is who you are helping; you’re no friend of Palestine.

    @Infoseepage Voting is not an endorsement. It's not a Valentine. Voting is just a chess move, a choice between two alternatives.

    @Infoseepage Even if we accept your position, the other guy is worse; it's like saying, this is a choice between some genocide, and more genocide, so I'm going to choose more genocide.

    @pleaseclap
    This isn't a choice between genocide and not-genocide. This is a choice between weak-opposition-to-genocide and active-support-for-genocide.
    And you're currently helping team active-support.

    @Infoseepage Deciding that you won't vote while America is tolerating genocide somewhere in the world means deciding that you'll never get to vote again. Does that look like a winning chess move to you?

    @pleaseclap @DrALJONES @WayneKoberstein

    BenAveling,
    @BenAveling@mastodon.au avatar

    @pleaseclap You'll support Biden if America takes a stronger stance against genocide in Palestine, even if America continues supporting genocide elsewhere in the world?
    Who was the last president you voted for?

    Next we need to convince Tennessee to ban the dangerous street drug dihydrogen monoxide. "People get drunk with it! And everyone who abuses it dies!"

    @bodhipaksa @cstross on my reading, IANAL, etc, it’s only intentional emissions. So if you don’t GAF about the consequences of your emissions you can let rip, so to speak. It’s only those pesky dogooders that this legislation is trying to stop.

    What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

    A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

    Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

    How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

    @fuck_cars

    BenAveling,
    @BenAveling@mastodon.au avatar

    @fuck_cars @ajsadauskas there should be more hospitals than hair dressers/barbers said no one ever.

    BenAveling,
    @BenAveling@mastodon.au avatar

    @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars ultimately, it’s largely about density. Eg. There are maybe 7000 pubs/night clubs etc in Australia. So if there are about 4000 ppl within walking distance of you, good chance you’ll have a pub within walking distance. Or if there are 4000 ppl within driving distance of you, good chance you’ll have a pub within driving distance. And so on for the rest…

    @leanleft zoning can prevent businesses from existing, but it can’t will them into existence.

    BenAveling,
    @BenAveling@mastodon.au avatar

    @leanleft proximity to transport is important because that determines how many potential customers are within a tolerable distance.
    But it’s sort of the same thing. The more density, the more services there are going to be. Not just nearby, but at all.

    @joeinwynnewood @hfinyow @DrALJONES for now. There’s never going to be an end to it. There’s never going to be a point where they say ‘that’s enough’.
    “God said”is the excuse. It isn’t the reason.

    To those saying that Hamas, alone, is at fault for Gaza's plight

    Hamas may have committed war crimes on Oct 7.

    The whole point of international law is to bring all parties to account.

    Holding Hamas, alone, responsible, but not Israel, is tantamount to supporting Israel's genocide.

    @violetmadder @Mary625 @DrALJONES and we have to take Israel’s word for it that the bad guy was there at all.

    The Y2K bug is a great illustration that a well-handled potential disaster looks like “nothing happened” in retrospect. The fact that Y2K seemed to be a non-event is a testament to how seriously people took this emergency, and how everyone buckled down and averted a worldwide infrastructure disaster.

    I started working at Honeywell Aerospace (AlliedSignal back then) in 1998, and by that time people were already working on Y2K issues. We were in the GPS navigation business, and there were real issues that would have caused aircraft navigation to go awry unless they were fixed.

    People buckled down, found the bugs, ran simulations, got FAA sign-offs, and deployed the fixes to all affected aircraft well before Y2K. Thanks to the effort, “nothing happened”. But I assure you (bad) things would have happened if we did nothing. https://infosec.exchange/@tychotithonus/111670219441506220

    @drahardja I worked for a telco vendor in 1999. We did our #y2k testing. There were things that broke. One of them was that we were locked out of the building. No big deal, we called a locksmith. But imagine if that and a couple of the other things had all happened at once…

    I noticed they have a protein based non MRNA Covid-19 vaccine. So, finally all the people who refused to take the MRNA based vaccine, because they claimed they didn't trust it, will also not take this one.

    @leighms @Daojoan @RickiTarr yup. Same (in) ability to think for themselves.

    @Teop_Versant Once Israel runs out of Palestinian land to steal they will have to look elsewhere. They can't afford to stop or they'll tear themselves apart.

    @Teop_Versant @DrALJONES @gray_witch they use the names of the old Jewish kingdom when they talk about what the boundaries should be. Not trivial to map them to modern areas, but can be done roughly enough.

    It'd be unlikely to have much use outside the one specific situation I find myself in, but it'd be interesting to have a variant on a one-click hoster that works by setting up a temporary one-off SFTP account. Like, you sign up to provide a file named X, and you can securely upload a thing and it gets stored in a server, which won't let you download X back.
    Someone else creates an account to download the same-named file, and it gives them a similar temporary SFTP account

    BenAveling,
    @BenAveling@mastodon.au avatar

    @foone question though. If the conversation is MITM’d, then the imposter can tell the receiver a different file name?
