whereisk, (edited ) to world in Israel sharpens its tone to Spain: "The Inquisition is over. Those who harm us, we will harm them"

To be fair, Jews were also massive victims of empire and colonialism. They were kicked around Europe for centuries since the Greeks and the Romans.

Now, on the fall of the Ottoman Empire all kinds of populations coalesced into nation-states (also, all while kicking out people that did not identify with the new nation - massive population exchanges at the time, millions of dead in forced marches out of a region). Most back to the heartlands of their ancestral lands - so the idea wasn’t far fetched.

Unfortunately, unlike those other populations Jews were in diaspora so long that they had kept little physical connection with that land which was now occupied mostly by Palestinians.

Fun fact: A plan was hatched to allocate a portion of Australia instead

whereisk, to world in Countries Fail to Agree on Treaty to Prepare the World for the Next Pandemic

This is an article that shouldn’t have been written, really, at least not yet or with a different headline, it basically says that negotiations are ongoing - but the headline deceptively suggests that the matter has concluded and no treaty will be forthcoming.

whereisk, to 196 in also you don't need to worry about this unless you buy a fancy Copilot Plus PC rule

Ok we’ll not store images on your box. Now, about classifying your usage and notifying authorities if it falls outside of parameters…

whereisk, to world in Egypt changed terms of Gaza ceasefire deal presented to Hamas, surprising negotiators, sources say

Publicize/transmit it anywhere / everywhere you have plausible control or you can trace the origin of everything. Radio, newspapers, billboard, official website - multiple sources that all agree with each other should do it. You only need to do it once.

In the age of secure electronic communications what’s the point of untrusted intermediaries?

PGP the message and send it via some method.

whereisk, to world in Zelensky: 'Our partners fear that Russia will lose this war'

I’m assuming the West’s analysis is that there’s no better political reality inside Russia in sight, even with Putin gone, so they’re better off just declawing the bear. Which to a large degree has already happened…

Meanwhile the upside is that the collective West gets to try tactics and weapons for modern warfare (drones, ai, analysis) and get ready for the next fight. They also gained a fight-ready, trained ally in Ukraine and a sharper focus in Europe of what’s at stake and everything that that involves (eg energy and supply chain independence).

The downside is obviously the deaths of Ukrainians in the front line, but I don’t know how many of them could be prevented without NATO getting properly involved.

whereisk, to politics in Tennessee woman denied abortion after fetus’ ‘brain not attached’ slams ban

Not so much “pro-choice” as much as forced abortion russian-roulette. After all in most of the bible most women have little to no agency.

whereisk, to mechanicalkeyboards in KVM switch - Any recommendations?

Since both PCs are running windows just install powertoys and use mouse without borders

Of course that means can only be controlled after booting, no Bios control.

whereisk, to opensource in What open-source software would you like more people to know about?

Same. If a newbie can’t get stuck inside, is it even a text editor?

whereisk, to opensource in What open-source software would you like more people to know about?

Sorry, probably not.

This is meant to run hosted (like a website), so it needs a server setup.

If it all sounds like gibberish then you don’t understand what a lamp stack or a docker container is it’s unlikely you’ll be able to install it on your own in a way that is useful or that you can maintain for security.

You could possibly hire someone to install it on your behalf - but given that it’s dealing with your finances I would be hesitant to do so.

If you are on Android try the Cashew app - has a paid tier but it’s unlikely you’ll need it and is minimally intrusive.

whereisk, to opensource in What open-source software would you like more people to know about?

The Organic Maps app implementation is pretty neat.

whereisk, to world in US commander appeared to suggest UK special forces were operating in Ukraine

Probably being present as trainers or consultants for British systems, intelligence, tactics etc. I can’t imagine they operate at the front or you’d be inevitably getting body bags back and you can only keep quiet so many.

whereisk, to politics in Senator Katie Britt is back at it, pushing a bill to launch a pregnancy tracking federal database

I’ll vote no for the bill but also take credit for it with my constituents if it passes.

whereisk, to privacy in Telegram founder and CEO alledges signal has backdoors, they don't provide reproduceible builds, etc.

I’m wondering if Dorsey has any stakes in Telegram’s crypto bullshit…

whereisk, to politics in Conservative Plan Calls for Dozens of Executions if Trump Wins

Nah, without control of the levers of government they’re just terrorists. Don’t forget that the government was well warned about Jan 6, and Trump’s team actively suppressed preparation and response. It’s not going to be the same if Biden is in office.
