kind of wild how the president of the US is just going live on tv spewing antiarabic drivel to justify the slaughter and forced migration (both are genocide!) of starving innocents

@_Jordan Zionism is not Judaism, and Judaism is not Zionism :/

Being anti Zionism is about as antisemitic as supporting the separation of church and state.

Christian nationalists don't get a lot of popular support either. And look what's happened with all the Muslim nationalist states that got stood up in the last several decades lol

@_Jordan being opposed nation claiming to be built exclusively for an group of peoples is not the same as being opposed to the peoples for whom the nation claims to speak for. To state otherwise is to steal the voice of those who do not agree with you.

@_Jordan then do you see why one might object to your original post?

@dango_@mas.to avatar

@_Jordan Zionism is a pretty clear disambiguator for those organizations and people supporting the current state of Israel, as opposed to Judaism. There are also non Jewish organizations backing the Israeli state, and non Jewish Zionists.

@_Jordan I was definitely surprised the first time I discovered as a kid that the "Jewish summer camp" was actually an "Israeli summer camp", and understand that there are a lot of organizations with "Jewish" in the name that are explicitly Israeli/Zionist. That doesn't make them the same thing.

dango_,
@dango_@mas.to avatar

@_Jordan so, I guess my main understanding is

Being Jewish, is, largely, something you are, not something you choose. Discriminating based on origin, ethnicity, is not a great thing.

Being Zionist, as I've seen it, is something you choose, not something you are. No one is born Zionist. Its an ideology and should be eligible to be subject to criticism.

By saying "well Zionism and Judaism are basically the same thing", you're dismissing criticism of the ideology as hate based on origin.

@_Jordan like, I'm not sure if your original meme meant it this way, but "nationalist movements" are not generally considered good things

I look at what it takes to get Linux working on a laptop, and it seems very finicky but at least has a community around it. But very manual setups.

I look at what it takes to get windows to work correctly on a laptop, and I see unending blog posts around how people struggle to get around the buggy power management (it's been like this for 20+ years)

I guess MacBook #2 it is...

It's 2024. Are there any laptops (that aren't macbooks) that have better speakers than my 2015 macbook yet?

@dango_@mas.to avatar

This video from 2022 claims, with graphs and a microphone: no, and the closest laptop (which is still worse) is the razer blade, which costs more than a macbook. 😔

@wavdl Google's current leadership has like the lowest internal confidence of all time, and their response was to stop measuring employee satisfaction l m f a o. Shit like this only underscores that leadership doesn't fucking care.

Today's horrible computer discovery: Github will not let you create a pull request from repo A to repo B unless there is specifically a fork relationship in github.com's database from repo A to repo B. It doesn't help for the git commits to simply be all the same. If there is a way to create this fork relationship after the fact I couldn't find one, so I wound up renaming a github repo to move it out of the way, then forking a new one, then rerunning the git push

dango_,
@dango_@mas.to avatar

@mcc this is honestly one of the bizzare restrictions of github, considering how git pull requests originated

The XZ backdoor seems to have become a Rorschach test that shows whatever you already believed about the security of open source software against sabotage.

It clearly proves the inherent superiority of the open source model. Or the inherent vulnerability. One of those, definitely.

@mattblaze tbh it just reminds me of when a popular Minecraft mod repository changed owners and reviews of uploaded mods degraded; and the very first week someone snuck in a trojan by using embedded binary in the source code.

Stop checking in binaries

The abusive behavior that was being used to manipulate Lasse Collin into bringing on more maintainers for went unnoticed because abusive behavior in Open Source communities is so pervasive. In context, we can clearly see it was part of an orchestrated operation. Out of context, it looks like just another asshole complaining about stuff they have no right to complain about. https://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2024/03/30/a-microcosm-of-the-interactions-in-open-source-projects/

@swelljoe @philtor big and powerful tech companies seem to understand better than most "if you don't pay for it, there's no guarantees". I've personally seen at least some open source funding make the budget by the reasoning of "an unfunded project that we rely on is a security vulnerability". one problem tho is they're still squeamish about individuals vs "foundations"

The reason AI coding help is effective at all is because so much of programming, a discipline with no engineering standards, is a field where millions of coders re-invent more-or-less the same construct in slightly different ways all across the world every day.
