    Israel routinely terrorizes and kills Palestinians, men women and children. The result is they support Hamas, who then in turn kills men women and children.

    Nuke the whole goddamn area, and when it’s one big slag of green nuclear glass, put up a monument to human idiocy and terrorism.

    Well, 1st, your sources are are weak here. However, it is a fact Brave is also run by con artists and swindlers.

    The issue many users have is compatibility. Firefox zealots ignore the fact IT folks must work with Chromium. I cannot get the tools I need to work reliably on Firefox (or LibreWolf, Mullvad, etc.).

    So, within the Chromium limitation, , I work on 7 systems regularly, I must have bookmark replication, MacOS/Linux/Windows/Android support:

    Ungoogled Chromium = rough, no bookmark replication Vivaldi = worse than Brave, because no full source code Opera = Chinese Iridium = Indian Brave = source code available, privacy focused Edge = lol Chrome = lol

    Winner? Brave. I use it with Pi-hole DNS on my home network, forced to use it with work DNS on their networks. I do also use LibreWolf (aka Firefox) with the Mullvad extension. I use it along with Brave, and hopefully at some point I can switch. I’ve tried 3 times in recent years, but too many web interfaces have Firefox issues, since it’s blatantly not being used to QA websites anymore.

    mirror_slap,

    Everything in IT infrastructure is done “as code” now. If you know how to code, but want to do something with real hardware and solve real problems, I’d go that route. To be more specific, IT Storage has a massive shortage of people, and it is weirdly neglected as a target career by younger folks.

    I know how to code in python, powershell, C, REST APIs, etc., but I cannot stand just sitting and coding for any length of time. HOWEVER I do like writing snippets of code to solve problem and automate infrastructure. Look a NetApp certifications, Pure Storage, or one of the other leading vendors. If you’re already familiar with S3 protocol / Object Storage, look at those options. I had a position open that paid $120-140k starting salary that we had open for 9 months last year until it was cancelled. We interviewed a mountain of people, we just couldn’t find a solid candidate, and the bar was pretty low. Storage is also becoming a more and more critical part of security, as protecting intellectual property stored on storage is critical for practically every major company.

    mirror_slap,

    I’m referring to BIG storage, private clouds, data lakes, etc. For example, my primary customer, In three years we’ve grown the object storage footprint by 100 petabytes. The rest of the global footprint across 110 sites is another 95PB. Commodity services do not scale, and global data transmission is typically custom tailored to the user requirements. Thinks like a 1st pass at the edge in 15 remote test sites, each crunching 100TB of raw data down to 10TB for transmission back to core, and that process happens on a clock. Other binary distribution uses cases, transmitting 50GB jobs from other continents back to core for analysis. It’s all still custom. Then there’s all the API back end work, to build out all the customer accessible storage APIs, numerous challenges there.

    POLL: Is Censorship a Partisan Issue? (www.realclearpolitics.com)

    Republican voters (74%) and independents (61%) believe speech should be legal “under any circumstances, while Democrats are almost evenly divided. A bare majority of Democrats (53%) say speech should be legal under any circumstances, while 47% say it should be legal “only under certain circumstances.”

    mirror_slap,

    “…even the Republican party.”

    You say that like they’re not the worst offender. They attempted a coup, and the majority of those corrupt pieces of garbage are still in their positions. They’re about to shut down the government in an effort to derail Trump going to jail. The level of cognitive dissonance that your statement represents is impressive.

    mirror_slap,

    It’s a sad alternate reality you live in where an attempt to steal an election, where cult member supporters of your president, at his prompting, were literally setting up gallows to hang the vice president. You think that is somehow the same as the other party. Have You even watched the endless public testimony talking about how Trump knew he lost? Have You seen his recent death threats against general Millie?

    There is no safe space for newsmax Russian propaganda brainwashed morons on Lemmy. I was a member of the Republican party for 20 years, I was an NRA member as well. They’ve gone nuts. Trump is he in the stage of terminal cancer. Have fun watching him go to jail.

    I work in IT and had to abandon Firefox because of compatibility issues that came up on a regular basis. it appears companies are simply not using it as part of their QA anymore. Also, in general the GUI theming has issues for me with the font and distinguishing highlights with my crappy vision. I tried every theme out there and for some reason apparently people writing themes just don’t care to make it so you can see what is highlighted and what is not. Even The default theme sucks in my opinion. There were a number of other nits that I just kept having issues with - getting prompted on eBay to verify my identity for no reason, repeatedly, which doesn’t happen on chromium and stuff like that.

    I wish Apple would adopt the Firefox rendering engine and take Safari cross platform. It would give Firefox a fighting chance at the overall market.

    His economic policies have been disastrous in Florida. Why do you think he would be good for the country, specifically on the economy? The construction industry, agriculture, medical, insurance, cost of living, inflation, education - Florida has nose dived with the continuation of DeSantis and far right policies in all of these areas. The status hemorrhaging doctors that are simply leaving, educators that are simply leaving, insurance providers are gone, there’s a 9-month wait just to get a company to roof your house, new construction has ground to a standstill, agriculture can’t find anyone to do field work, Disney has canceled hundreds of millions of dollars of investment in the state, etc. etc. I’m just shocked that anyone would want this for the rest of the country. All of the statistics and all of this information has been repeatedly making national headlines for a year.

    Trump Election Interference Case to Go to Grand Jury in Georgia Early Next Week (www.nytimes.com)

    Atlanta-area prosecutors have indicated that they will go before a grand jury early next week to present the results of their investigation into election interference by former President Donald J. Trump and his allies, raising the possibility that within days Mr. Trump could face a fourth criminal indictment....

    mirror_slap,

    It’s really not a rumor at this point, she informed the courts to set aside an entire week just to deal with the indictments. That’s a lot of time just for that.

    mirror_slap,

    Well, fork, I hadn’t looked at this team behind Brave. I use both Firefox and Brave. Bye bye Brave…

    We have no example anything like what we’re seeing now. Those turning 18 are 87% blue. Every day boomers die, kids turn 18, and 83,000 votes change to blue - every day. The demographics are staggering. Want to know why the “red wave” was a pink trickle? That’s why. At no point in US history in the last 150 years have we seen anything like this. The GOP will lose the Presidency in 24 - there will be over 5 million new blue voters, and people aren’t turning red as they age anymore. The GOP will lose the House and Senate too. Attrition via death - the red side doesn’t have enough voters left.

    mirror_slap,

    Always before the political party would be pretending to care. The GOP ISN’T EVEN PRETENDING. They’ve embraced extremist fuse like banning abortion and various other wildly unbelievably unpopular things. There is massive support for gun safety legislation, for tax relief for everyday people rather than corporations, for medical care reform, younger people support science and the GOP is blatantly anti-science in every way possible, just over and over again, there is absolutely nothing at all to attract younger voters or even middle-aged voters. The pendulum will never swing back as it stands today.

    mirror_slap,

    I am using Sync, and I paid for a year of it. A year from now, I’ll evaluate and maybe pick something else. Do I care if it costs a tiny bit of $ for a solid app experience that performs better than the rest, because it has dedicated development resources? Nope. Having read the details on what data is collected, do I have privacy concerns? Nope. Do I think folks have gone a little over the top about certain things? Yes. Bad enough having to leave reddit without making it even more complicated.

    Kuwait to distribute 100,000 copies of Quran in Sweden after Muslim holy book desecrated at one-man protest (www.cbsnews.com)

    Kuwait announced this week that it will print thousands of copies of the Quran in Swedish to be distributed in the Nordic country, calling it an effort to educate the Swedish people on Islamic “values of coexistence.” The plan was announced after the desecration of a Quran during a one-man anti-Islam protest that Swedish...

    mirror_slap,

    Delusional that they think distributing that book in that country will promote tolerance. “So, tell me more about your ‘Prophet’ that marries 9 year old girls…”.

    mirror_slap,

    I attempted to find a point in your statement but I failed. You seem to be trying to draw a parallel of some sort between empires from hundreds of years ago and a modern day nation.

    ** another anti-abortion anti-clean air GOP piece of garbage. From her bio: ** New Hampshire Attorney General Clean air emissions standards Ayotte joined Attorneys General from eight other states to sue federal regulators over a rules change that made clean air emissions standards for power plants less strict and eliminated clean air reporting and monitoring requirements.[16][17]

    In 2005, the court agreed with Ayotte and the others that the Environmental Protection Agency must measure changes in the emissions from power plants and could not exempt power plants from reporting their emissions.[17]

    Prosecution of murder cases As assistant attorney general, Ayotte prosecuted two defendants for the 2001 Dartmouth College murders in Etna, New Hampshire.

    As attorney general, Ayotte prosecuted the high-profile case surrounding the 2006 murder of Manchester police officer Michael Briggs in the line of duty. It resulted in a conviction and death penalty sentence.[18] Members of Briggs’s family praised her leadership in television ads for her 2010 Senate campaign.[19][20]

    Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England Main article: Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England In 2003, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire found the Parental Notification Prior to Abortion Act, a New Hampshire law requiring parental notification of a minor’s abortion, unconstitutional, and enjoined its enforcement. In 2004, New Hampshire Attorney General Peter Heed appealed the ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, which affirmed the district court’s ruling. In 2004, Ayotte appealed the First Circuit’s ruling to the Supreme Court, over the objection of incoming Democratic Governor John Lynch. Ayotte personally argued the case before the Supreme Court.[citation needed] The Supreme Court unanimously vacated the district court’s ruling and remanded the case back to the district court, holding that it was improper for the district court to invalidate the statute completely instead of just severing the problematic portions of the statute or enjoining the statute’s unconstitutional applications.[21] In 2007, the law was repealed by the New Hampshire legislature, mooting the need for a rehearing by the district court.[22]

    In 2008, Planned Parenthood sued to recover its attorney fees and court costs from the New Hampshire Department of Justice.[23] In 2009, Ayotte, as attorney general, authorized a payment of $300,000 to Planned Parenthood to settle the suit.[24]

    Of The seven Trump voters in my immediate family and friends list, zero voted for him in 2020. what do you think he has done to change that since then? I have queried them and none of them support him anymore still, quite the opposite, after the insurrection they consider him a traitor, and only one of them is skeptical about the current court cases against him. The rest expect him to go to jail, legitimately.

    There is an entire nation of educators that do have those credentials that are disputing Florida’s nonsense. Meanwhile The state itself is hemorrhaging teachers, and the insurance rates have gone so high due to repeated hurricanes that my cousin, an extremely rich and successful real estate broker, is leaving the state because real estate is now imploding there. The anti-immigrant law that the far-right legislature there passed, has left the entire construction industry at a standstill as well as wreaking havoc in the agricultural industry. Meanwhile the insurance industry is flat-out leaving the state because there’s no way to make money there. At the same time Desantis and the legislature are doing nothing to evolve Florida building codes and harden the infrastructure to keep the State livable in a world with multiple major hurricanes per season.

    At any rate, Florida is just plain f#cked - the exodus has begun and Desantis is adding fuel to the fire.

    I was playing off the fact that Israel is about to become a full-blown dictatorship (duh). Sucks to be these people, sure.

    I don’t see them all that differently than idiot anti-vaxxers dropping dead of COVID, or wacko 7th Day Adventist no blood transfusion morons dying of an infected finger going septic.
