Honestly, there should be a Nobel prize for these people. They deserve it.

The prevailing attitude on Lemmy seems to be that Israel should be wiped from the face of the earth. Comments that don't support the protesters are quite rare.

I think I might still have some of these laying around somewhere. Good times.

There is one significant difference: Hamas does not, as far as I know, have any nuclear weapons.

Lemmy users don't understand nuance. "Israel bad" is all they understand.

It's good that you are willing to acknowledge that. A lot of people on here truly reject the concept that the situation is more complicated than "stop supporting Israel". People are quick to spout that without thinking about the knock-on effects.

There are even people on here who are outright in support of Hamas, an oppressive Islamist group that has a far worse human rights record than Israel.

original battery in good working condition for 8 years

Batteries are consumables, and they cannot last that long thanks to a little thing called the Second Law of Thermodynamics. I estimate that you have at best 25% of the original capacity of that battery.

That said, the whole "leaving your laptop plugged in kills batteries" is just about thirty years out of date. Plugging in your laptop doesn't do anything to the battery if the battery doesn't need to be charged. You could rip the battery out of a laptop (I know yours can't be because stupid Apple) and it would run just fine right off the power cord.

That's what most of the fediverse seems to believe.

Palestine needs its own state, for sure. But unfortunately there is no way that will happen as long as Hamas has control of Gaza.

Why does Linux need to be more popular? This isn't some NRM with a proselytizing mandate. Use whichever OS you prefer and let others do the same.

Biden is dramatically out of touch with voters on Gaza. He may lose because of it | Moira Donegan (www.theguardian.com)

Many voters believe, with good reason, that none of this would have happened without Biden’s assent. Biden has continued to speak of Israel’s attack on Palestinian civilians using the absurd language of “self-defense”. He has insulted Jewish Americans and the memory of the Holocaust by invoking them to justify the...

Sounds like you got your daily dopamine hit. You should probably take a break from social media until you've calmed down.

Associating Joe Biden so closely with genocide demonstrates a lack of capacity for understanding nuance. Supporting Israel doesn't automatically equate to supporting Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza, but it does indicate support for the Israeli (and by extension, Jewish) right to exist. One can simultaneously protest the genocide in Gaza and support a friendly, cooperative Israel.

When people of good conscience are forced to support a literal genocide because of how broken our system is…

When people are incapable of understanding nuance...

I pity the rest of you who would choose complacency and the path of least resistance over doing what’s right.

This is some extremist cool-aid stuff right here. I hope you find the care you need.

Let me rewrite this headline:

"Democrats would rather elect a literal Nazi than Joe Biden"

Which is bull, but essentially what the article is saying.

If you won't vote for Biden because of Gaza, you are an ignorant, narrow-minded idiot and you are handing Trump the presidency.

Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases through that date. Existing LTSC releases will continue to receive updates beyond that date based on their specific...

Honestly, I suspect that most people who refuse to update to Windows 11 are already Linux desktop users. Most of us have more than one computer and use Linux on several of them.

How the heck am I supposed to get into Linux?

It seems like the more interested I get in Linux, the less appealing it becomes. The community seems to have no fucking clue what they’re talking about, because everyone is just constantly talking over each other and contradicting themselves! I have spent so much time reading about Linux and distros and such to prepare for my...

It sounds to me like you're overthinking it. Download the ISO (or ISOs) of your choice and set up VMs in VirtualBox. Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy. Experiment and try it out with no risk at your leisure.

The solution is to stop bailing out mismanaged companies. Crony capitalism/corporate socialism are scams.

Great step for the Palestinians. If they can expel Hamas and institute a legitimate government, they could have a real shot at independence.

Unfortunately, there will be no real Palestinian state as long as Hamas maintains its influence.

Yeah, it's not like they need more excuses than they already have to drop insurance plans.

Yeah, UCSC feels like an odd choice. Maybe it's because they've had a lot of union activity there over the past few years.
