Burning down a refugee camp is not a tragic mishap, especially if you first burned down the refugees original homes, their hospitals, their water pumps and treatment plants, and their fields. No, it is not a mishap. It is an intentional act of violence against people who have lost everything.

Not going to link to the actual review because I don’t care and will not care about the movie in question, but I find it interesting how quickly and thoroughly the meaning of “AI” in the public vocabulary as shifted from “futuristic automated intelligence” to “bad and lazily made”

How does genocide happen in 2024?

It doesn’t, of course. As Graeme Wood from The Atlantic explains, there are only tens of thousands of legally killed children, that’s all.

(Thanks, Graeme, we were all apparently very confused.)

See, y’all were getting worked up for nothing.

@aral when you find yourself writing "legally killed children" is when you need to stop and check yourself and wtf you are doing

I said a week or so ago, but for those who don’t wanna take my word for it: here is the former Israeli Prime Minister, the former head of Shin Bet and a former head of the IDF all saying that Netanyahu boosted Hamas to prevent a two-state solution https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4XlHb1stgC/?igsh=MXR3M3gycG40MG54dw==

The deed is done. Debian is installed. Windows is gone for good.

30 years of Microsoft OS experience down the drain, because they can't not be capitalist dicks.

What a waste. 🙁

I'm so sick of "big men" enamored of the trappings of power & anyone impressed with them. I'm sick of the mystique of "all he had to do was wave a finger & you were dead" & that is supposed to be impressive rather than terrifying & childish. I'm sick of their entourages, and the way they stick out their lips, pout, posture, bluster. The way they use other people as decorations.

They way they lie to your face as a power play.

It's all... so embarrassing for the human animal of which I am one.

This would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. Germany projected 50_000 people to become disabled and need active care in 2023. Actual number: 360_000.

https://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/lauterbach-pflege-1.7420180

Last year during Germany’s Covid peak about 1 in 12 people was infectious at any given moment. It got so bad that Germany experienced negative economic growth because of record illness. Record disability is, of course, to be expected.

Just installing Fedora Silverblue and realised that if you boot into the USB disk in legacy mode, it does a legacy install. If you boot into it in UEFI, it does a UEFI install.

Wish this was made clear in the interface and you could actually choose what you wanted. I mean, I really think UEFI should be the default no matter what these days with the option to change it if you really want to, no?

@aral it's not really possible to do a UEFI native install when booted in CSM mode - it's literally not possible for the installer to write a UEFI bootloader entry, the firmware does not expose the necessary interfaces.

we could make it possible to do a BIOS native install from a UEFI boot, I guess, but it seems like a weird thing to do.

'After their dismissal of the ICC and ICJ calls on Israel to comply with international law, how can the US and its partners make a convincing case again that their rules are fair and universal, and so must be followed by all? It is brazenly clear that the rules-based order is not about democratic values, the rule of law and the sanctity of human lives, but the observance of a global hierarchy in which some lives are sacred and others are not.' https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/27/icc-israel-benjamin-netanyahu-arrest-warrant-us-west

The Atlantic publishes an oped that literally includes the sentence “it is possible to legally kill children”

The NYT describes Israel violating the ICJ orders by literally copying official Israeli PR.

The BBC describes yesterday’s massacre in Rafah as ‘a violent incident’

The WSJ described that same massacre as ‘dozens killed and wounded after explosions’

Just learned of another (young, fit & healthy) colleague's death by heart attack.

There have been so many sudden deaths these past few years.

Covid is not over, and no-one is truly immune. 💔

I just can’t comprehend how one can look at footage of what just did in overnight and not conclude that there js something fundamentally broken about Israelis. And yes, there are obviously exceptions here, very noble ones. I’ve platformed a number of them on my podcast, but even they say that they are a rare voice, that most Jewish Israelis around them are either enthusiastic about the genocide or indifferent about its victims.

ayoub,
@ayoub@spore.social avatar

And to be clear, I grew up in a very conservative Lebanese Christian village surrounded by outright fascists, including militiamen who committed massacres during the 75-90 wars, so when I am saying I view Israelis as morally broken, I am also speaking from a position of familiarity. Those Lebanese I grew up with are as broken as those Israelis today. The difference is that those Lebanese never had this much firepower or support from a superpower like the US.

ayoub,
@ayoub@spore.social avatar

And, in fact, the main supporter of those Lebanese fascists I grew up with was , whose leaders at the time saw Lebanese Christians as a ‘natural’ ally against Muslims. So yeah, this shit is very familiar to me.

“I condemn this in the strongest terms,” he said, adding: “There is no safe place in Gaza. These attacks must stop immediately. ICJ orders & IHL must be respected by all parties.”

Time for sanctions has long passed, horror, prayers, thoughts & words are not enough.

"Physician Back from Gaza: There’s a very dark side to the Israeli State”
