jonne,

They’ll never hear about this.

Electric Aviation is already better than you think - Volts with David Roberts (www.volts.wtf)

Electric vehicles that can take off and land vertically, but then fly like a plane, are already being sold and used by hospitals and shipping companies. These vehicles have 5 batteries that give it a range of over 350 miles using current battery technology, though the batteries are intended to be swapped over the life of the...

jonne,

If you replaced every vehicle with an electric airplane the electricity needed would be astronomical.

jonne,

That’s probably the least worst thing any member of the GOP has ever done.

‘No one has any idea’ how many Israeli hostages are alive, says Hamas official (www.theguardian.com)

A senior Hamas official has said the group does not know how many of the Israeli hostages it is holding in Gaza are still alive, as Israeli and Hamas sources set out positions that could undermine the possibility of an imminent ceasefire deal....

jonne,

Hamas moved away from any kind of digital communication, doing everything in person instead. With how Gaza is now, there’s no real way to coordinate stuff like that. They’re keeping communications at a minimum to avoid tipping off the IDF.

jonne,

Yeah, but even before that they weren’t using phone communications, which is how they were able to surprise the IDF on Oct 7.

jonne,

But in order to get the money for those programs, especially if their effect is to lower the workload for police, you should get the money from the police budget, otherwise it’s just wasted money. Are you just going to keep giving the NYPD a billion dollars a year to do nothing?

Do you think people would be okay with 'Recall' if Apple did it?

With the recent WWDC apple made some bold claims about privacy when it comes to so called Apple Intelligence. This makes me wonder if they did something to what Microsoft did with Recall feature, would people be less concerned and to an extend praise their effort?...

jonne,

One thing it claimed was the ability to rewrite copy. Basically finally an improvement over spellcheck which has been the same for like 20 years. Would be nice to have something better built into the OS in every text field.

You could also have stuff like suggestions in your terminal when you’re starting to write a command based on what’s in the man pages and the layout of your filesystem.

jonne,

Yeah, but that’s just the kernel. Anything above that (window manager, the utilities that they didn’t outright copy from BSD, apps, …) is basically closed source.

jonne,

Yeah, it’s ridiculous that they’re claiming anyone would drive in from New Jersey to go to a diner in Manhattan.

jonne,

Pretty sure Gaben has a yacht too.

jonne,

Yeah, I know the artist said some other bullshit to justify this choice, but to me it just looks like the blood their wealth was built on.

jonne,

Yeah, did he really think that the judiciary would stay independent after the Chinese decided they’d be the ones vetting which candidates could run for office?

Israel rescues 4 hostages taken in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, and 210 Palestinians are reported killed (apnews.com)

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel on Saturday carried out its largest hostage rescue operation since the latest war with Hamas began, taking four to safety out of central Gaza amid the military’s heavy air and ground assault. At least 210 dead Palestinians, including children, were brought to local hospitals, a health...

jonne,

Looks like this was the real reason for building the pier.

jonne,

If a cease-fire with a prisoner exchange was literally on the table but rejected by Israel, I’d pick the option where a bunch of innocent blood isn’t spilled to secure a release.

jonne,

Sounds better than whatever the fuck is happening now, yeah.

jonne,

The remedy is impeachment, so I’m pretty sure that means 60 senators need to vote to remove her, which isn’t happening anytime soon.

jonne,

Still funny that there’s a Microsoft Linux distro. Didn’t think that would ever happen 20 years ago.

jonne,

My issue is that the only time I use vim or nano it’s because I’m logged into some server where you’re going to be stuck with the defaults anyway. I guess it’s nice on your home machine, but customising a bunch of servers with your personal preferences isn’t really something you can do in most work situations.

jonne,

Yep, even if he ends up in prison by some miracle.

jonne,

Yeah, but a presidential candidate will have security. A small town mayor would not.

jonne,

Not if you push out the people living there, which has been how Israel has historically done it.

jonne,

Realistically, isn’t that really the point where he actually faces any consequences?

jonne, (edited )

The hush money one is the first one to actually go to trial, so it’s mostly that. The documents case is basically suppressed until they can somehow get rid of this judge, and the other 2 cases are also being held up in places.

The hush money case isn’t likely to put him in prison though, I don’t think there’s any precedent of a politician going to prison for that. And of course there’s going to be appeals that can easily push it until past November.

jonne,

By ‘this one’, I meant the hush money case. I agree that the documents case is the most serious one (and also deliciously ironic given his 2016 criticism of Hillary’s classified emails).

jonne,

I edited it because it was ambiguous, no need to apologise.

jonne,

It is a colony. The King of England can just fire the Prime Minister any time he likes.

jonne,

Nobody’s fucking saying that, Jesus Christ. We know they’re equally as bad or worse, but can we please just call out democrats on their bullshit without someone going ‘durr Trump worse’?

jonne,

I’m sure they’ll find someone. You only need to have one in the state.

jonne,

Was she right to spend campaign money in Texas instead of swing states?

jonne,

Yep, ‘he says what we’re all thinking!’.

jonne,

No it didn’t. They worked as designed, in way rougher waters than the Mediterranean.

The Alitos, the Neighborhood Clash and the Upside-Down Flag | Inside the escalating conflict on a bucolic suburban street that Justice Alito said prompted a “Stop the Steal” symbol at his home. (www.nytimes.com)

There are some differences: For instance, the justice told Fox News that his wife hoisted the flag in response to Ms. Baden’s vulgar insult. A text message and the police call — corroborated by Fairfax County authorities — indicate, however, that the name-calling took place on Feb. 15, weeks after the inverted flag was...

jonne,

If you don’t have real problems in your life, you need to create your own conflicts if you have a certain personality type.

jonne,

Crazy how it took the FBI 3 years to find a guy with distinct face tattoos.

jonne,

They’ve been falling into that trap ever since Trump announced. All the stuff that’s ‘tradition’ or ‘gentleman’s agreement’ or even actual laws that didn’t bother to codify a punishment turned out to be easily broken without any electoral consequences. And 8 years later they still fucking fail to account for it.

jonne,

Yeah, those kids will suddenly end up completely unprepared for college. But then again, that makes for great future Republican voters.

jonne,

Fwiw, I could still see it, so maybe it got restored.

European diplomats warn Rafah strike could lead to strict interpretation of ICJ ruling (www.haaretz.com)

Western diplomats warned Monday that European countries may strictly interpret the International Court of Justice’s decision on the Israel Defense Forces’ operation in Rafah following the deadly incident in which dozens of civilians died as a result of an Israeli attack on the city overnight into Monday....

jonne,

The Hamas-led fire brigade obviously allowed the fire to continue to burn. /s

jonne,

They’ve been ignoring it successfully so far. International law means jack shit, it’s just a fig leaf the West uses to punish enemies and make it seem like it’s not purely about power for domestic consumption.

‘Exterminate the beasts’: How Israeli settlers took revenge for a murder in the West Bank (www.bbc.com)

What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.

jonne, (edited )

There’s multiple reasons:

  • Zionists have made it a priority to make sure they have their people / sympathisers in high places in politics and media. Anyone who even hints at considering calling Palestinians people gets pushed out.
  • Israel is a laboratory for ‘policing’, anti-terrorism and surveillance tactics. This technology and know-how is indispensable for both the ‘democracies’ in the West and dictatorships, including Arab dictatorships that pay lip service to the Palestinian cause, but don’t actually do anything. If crowd control tactics work on Palestinians, they work on leftie protestors and civil rights movements in the West and popular democratic movements in authoritarian regimes.
  • people don’t want to be called anti-semites (especially in Europe, where every country has a horrific history with that), which is why they’ve been trying very hard to conflate Zionism with Jewishness.
  • there’s also a global right-wing nationalism on the rise, where people like Modi, Orban, Trump, Netanyahu, … sort of espouse the same rhetoric that used to be limited to white supremacy, but it’s just applied to their ethnicity/race/religious group. The neo-nazis are still anti-semites, but they see Israel as the place they can ship all the Jews to when the time comes. Israel’s actions making Jews outside of Israel a target for retaliation plays into that as well.
jonne,

Going against traffic is actually the safe option in some situations. Being able to see oncoming traffic is a good thing.

jonne, (edited )

Wasn’t this Lukashenko for some Belarusian activists? IIRC, Navalny voluntarily returned to Russia.

jonne,

Doesn’t take away from the original point, obviously. Actually reinforces it as Belarus barely faced any consequence for that stunt.

jonne,

The Atlantic is anything but left in general.

jonne,

As they should, it was always a terrible plan. The US should instead apply pressure (eg. no more bombs unless you let aid through) on Israel instead. This (and the air drops) was always a way to avoid having to do that.

jonne, (edited )

I didn’t even mention the guy? Trump would’ve probably told Netanyahu to nuke Gaza. Either way you have genocide with both.

jonne,

It’s not just up to you, the democrats should’ve picked someone that was electable.

jonne,

The primaries pissed me off so much, every outlet added the pledged delegates to the delegate count, so she had like 100 delegates before any votes were cast.

jonne,

There’s a lot more need than pre-invasion levels. There was local agriculture in Gaza, functional bakeries, a water pipeline, electricity, etc.

Now all of those things need to be trucked in instead.
