Hmmm ... Is there a genuine need for this?!🤨

@firusvg Ooh, given the number of foot-guns in bash, this actually sounds really nice :) Will definitely be checking it out and might rewrite my installation scripts in it.

If the use of civilians as human shields is a war crime, then it's a war crime for both.

Can we agree that Israel should be held to a higher standard?

@StableGeniusLib Holding Israel accountable for its actions? Sounds antisemitic to me.

Folks who might be looking to move from Windows to Linux: another option, if it’s financially feasible for you and you don’t want to mess with installing Linux, is to sell your Windows machine and buy a Linux one.

Yep, they exist.

Folks like @starlabs in the UK, @tuxedocomputers in the EU, and @system76 in the US sell Linux machines that just work out of the box.

@AstaMcCarthy @mauricepinzon @starlabs @tuxedocomputers @system76 Unless I’m missing something, frame.work doesn’t come with Linux pre-installed and running (it only does that for Windows). You can install Linux yourself on the DIY model so it’s more for enthusiasts.

@pthane @starlabs @tuxedocomputers @system76 @tanquist Yeah. Sadly, the HDMI out on mine never worked properly.

@alx I’m sure some folks would disagree but I really think Fedora Silverblue is the best distribution right now (it’s what I use myself):

Additional bonus: you never have to worry about updates. They just work.

Small update on Kitten’s new interactive shell (REPL). You can now access Kitten’s router via:

kitten.app.router

Also updated the section in the tutorial to fix typos in some of the code examples and use the new router key path:

America on the brink of imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court for holding war criminals to account…

(Just kidding, that would require the ability for introspection.)

Ireland is due to recognise as an independent state. The UK, which bizarrely calls for a two-state solution, still doesn't.

@Geri @dibi58 Is it bizarre? Oh, wait, this is that darn-fangled sarcasm thing everyone’s going on about isn’t it? :)

“In one of those moments that you can’t believe is not satire, Antony Blinken met with Arab-American leaders and warned them that if Palestine got statehood, the US would defund the United Nations and potentially the World Food Program, plunging the developing world into starvation. It wasn’t enough for these fascists to starve innocents in Palestine, they’re now threatening to do it across the world. They would really rather kill millions more than stop doing genocide.”

@Miro_Collas @adachika192 @palestine I didn’t realise it was a card. My question is what makes an Arab-American who was in the actual meeting sharing his recollection of his first-hand experience at the meeting an untrustworthy primary source? I don’t think I’ve gotten an answer to that question.

aral,
@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

@Vittoria @rimu I don’t know. You’re the senior news editor. Why don’t you follow up and see? Isn’t that your job?

aral,
@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

@Vittoria @rimu No, that clearly is also your job as your news organisation routinely quotes IDF spokespeople without questioning whether they are lying or not.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

@Vittoria @rimu And here you have one so take it for exactly what that’s worth. Seriously, go ask Blinken if the guy is lying or not then report back. That’d be useful. That’s your job. You’re the journalist.

aral,
@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

@Vittoria @rimu It’s not an opinion, though, is it? It is a recollection. And the distinction is critical. The source is not opining about what Blinken said, he is reporting it.

So you can say:

  • I don’t believe the source is credible – misremembering? lying? (Why? No one in this thread has actually given me a reason for this.)

  • A single source is unreliable by our standards (excellent, I love it: Now contact Blinken’s office and get confirmation or a denial. That’s your job.)
