From your own link: "This data set, which includes only official deaths in which identification could be confirmed"

Who did most of the counting and identification? The Gazan Hospitals that Israel blew up.

Corpses shoved to mass graves by IDF soldiers (who have even posted photos and videos of doing it) don't get counted, much less "identified". And don't get me started op those burried under the rubble of bombed buildings, especially once the Israelis started targetting ambulances and rescue services.

That kind of shit is like mid Nazi Holocaust claiming there were no deaths in Auchwitz, since the Nazis didn't care to keep track of the identity of those they killed hence the count of "official deaths in which identification could be confirmed" was zero.

Yeah, I suspect you're right.

Yeah, right, it's because you're wholly apolitical and concerned above all with the plight of Palestinians that under an article about Evidence pointing to Israel's continued used of Starvation to inflict Genocide on Palestinians you felt the need to explicitly make it about Trump and mentioned no other of the many supporters and enablers of Israel and its Genocide

Go pull the other one.

If you weren't trying to bring in your pet peeve in American politics you would've just said "America" (since the whole fucking political mainstream there are Genocide enablers) or, even better, mention all of the most egregious supporters of Israel and its Genocide: America, Britain and Germany (in all of which, curiously, the whole fucking political mainstream are Genocide enablers).

Nah, low ceilings are horrible and oppressive.

The rest is fine.

You're confusing "not being counted because the Gaza Hospitals were they did the counting were destroyed by Israel" with "not occurring".

There was a study published in the Lancet Medical Journal about 6 months ago that back then estimated around 200k Palestinian dead even while the official figures remained stuck around the 50k mark since about 3 months into the invasion (when most Hospitals in Gaza were destroyed).

You're parroting Zionist propaganda and I don't really know if it's because you yourself have fallen for it or some other, malevolent, reasons.

(Given that you're doing this under an article about how Amnesty International gathered evidence that Israel is "using starvation of civilians as a weapon of war against Palestinians", I know which of those two possibilities I would bet on)

They're activelly destroying Science in the US, pretty much guaranteeing their own fatal weakening in the mid and long term if they did win and ended up controlling North America.

With the notable exception of the US ending up using nukes and causing the end of the World, there is no way Europe would lose more from merely letting present day America eat itself up than it would from militarily intervening in a civil war in the US, because even a win by the Neo Confederates would yield a weakened American in the short term (because of the destruction of a Civil War) and even more in the long term because of their anti-Science stance, and likely braindrain.

(People seriously underestimate the likelihood of rich countries regressing. To give you an example, Argentina used to be the 5th weathiest country in the World and look at them now. America absolutelly would end up regressing, FAST, if the MAGA crowd with the policies it is already practicing gained absolute power).

Not to say that many Americans who aren't Neo Confederates wouldn't deserve the help, just saying that pragmatically speaking letting America consume itself would be better for Europe than militarily intervening in an American civil war.

Now, if this was 40 or 50 years ago it would be different, but present day America isn't a force for good and there being a EU gives Europe enough strength as a team to stand up by itself to powers like China and Russia if they try anything, so there both isn't all that much good (for the World as a whole) in America to be worth saving and Europe doesn't actually require American support.

It's about Russia and it's militarist expansionism, not about Trump.

For crying out loud, stop trying to score political points in US politics when murdering brown people and helping Israel do so is the ultimate bipartisan subject in the US.

You can find differences between the two "sides" in US politics on some subjects (though often the distance is fag paper thin). but in this they're on the same side, with at most the only difference being that the Democract establishment would rather Israel was a bit more quiet in their mass murdering.

I started calling this a New Holocaust ever since it became obvious that Israel was trying to starve Palestinians to death.

So what you're saying is that there are more wankers on Linux nowadays!???

Personally when I lived in The Netherlands I was quite partial towards lots of mayo on my patates (chunky chips, only far more than merely just larger) rather than pindakaas saus, but patates are a hole different class than English-style chips (which is the same style as in most of Europe) which do gain from drizzling them with vinegar to offset the absorbed fat.

I'm current stuck in a long term cycle of mainly Project Zomboid, Factorio, Valheim, Oxygen Not Included, The Lone Dark and Rimworld, were when I'm fed up of playing the last of them, it's been long enough since I played the first one that it's once interesting to play it.

Even when I manage to be fed up with playing all of them at any one point, I still have other progression games with complex emergent gameplay (often but not always games which have algorithmically generated game areas) like Kenshi. 7 Days to Die or OpenTTD that pull me in and if that fails, I can always pick up one of the old open world roleplay jewels such as Skyrim and play that.

I've barelly tried anything else in the last couple of years and of those only Oxygen Not Include was the only one with any lasting power and I picked that one years ago.

It's not even because I can't afford it (though out of principl I refuse to pay more than €20 for a game) - whenever I try an AAA game nowadays (always games that came out years ago) it's almost invariably an inferior experience that either feels too constrained or doesn't have enough gameplay variety and complexity to be fun for long.

They're like an origami figure folded wrongly that causes any properly folded origami figures to become misfolded when it comes in contact with them.

Oh, from my own experience with upper class Englishmen (granted, only a handful) when living in Britain, Sunak isn't really a "proper" upper class person in their eyes, especially for those who are Old Wealth as he's both not White and his wealth doesn't go back enough generations - it's pretty hard to get accepted into the English upper class circles even if you did attend one of the posher Public Schools and even when inside there are different "classes" of people.

Very wealthy people really are a petty as the rest, and though most are pragmatic in their choice of actions when their economic interests are at stake, they'll definitelly follow their own petty impulses when such interest are not really at stake.

I mean, the various very public actions from Elon Musk, from his "pedophile" accusation to the rescuer that refused his wild-ass submarine scheme to rescue the boys in Thailand to his Nazi Salute, show him as a prime example of how the very wealthy can act driven by internal impulses even in ways that go against their best interests.

You see, almost all of the very Wealthy are were they are due to "popping out of the right vagina", not due to superior behaviour, and this is pretty much "100% of them" when it comes to Old Wealth, so don't presume they'll act driven by rationality alone - if the stakes for their own interests aren't high enough they'll follow things like their supremacist beliefs just like the "riff-raff", and really the main difference from the English wealthy when they do this to for example the American wealthy, is that they'll coach the whole thing in some posh "rationale" rather than be open about their Racial Preferences or the appeal of Supremacism for them (it makes sense that somebody who was born to Wealth will be attracted to the idea that some people are born inherently superior to others and hence are more successful, as that implies that their inherent superiority is the reason for their wealth)

The actual driver for an HID USB device, even on WIndows, is still just a few KB.

Worse, the default driver for HID devices like mice, keyboards, joysticks, gamepads and so on is part of Windows since Windows 7 and all you had to do was give it an INF file that really just associated USB hardware devices that sent the PC a specific identifier (made up of a VID and a PID value) on USB protocol initialization, with that built-in driver - and that file is maybe 100 bytes. Even better, that INF file is not even needed anymore since Windows 10.

A driver for a mouse (pretty much the simplest Human Interface Device there is) that in addition to the normal mouse thing also supports setting the RGB color of some lights is stupidly simple because the needed functionality is already in the protocol.

Remember, modern digital electronics still uses really tiny processors sometimes with less than 32KB flash memory (and way less than that in RAM) only they're microcontrollers rather than microprocessors now, hence the protocols are designed so that they can be handled by processing hardware with little memory (after all, many USB Hosts aren't PCs but instead are things like USB HUDs which have microcontrollers not microprocessors)

I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that almost the entirety of that 1GB is bloatware.

Or you can use qbittorrent-nox which is a server-only package of qbittorrent and just interact with it via its the web interface from your favorite browser.

Mind you, I only know this by chance because I explicitly wanted to run qbittorrent as a service on an always on machine which is not supposed to be used with keyboard and mouse.

Well, just think "How would I do this cheaply and get away with it" for a good enough "Engineering" approach for this case.

The really expert "Engineering" stuff related to things like maintenability, reliability, robustness and so on (which I myself am not qualified to talk about, as even though I have an EE degree, that's not actually the domain of Engineering I ended up working in so I haven't accumulated the professional experience that teaches one to take such higher level considerations into one's designs), isn't, IMHO, really necessary to understand to explain why those designing circuits commercially would chose the commonly available and cheaper components if they can.

I think the profound contrast between the reaction from the British "Authorities" to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and to the Israeli Genocide in Gaza, disproves the idea that it's all about money, especially given that there was a lot more money being made from Russia than can be made from Israel.

I mean, a musician is right now being investigated by the British Police for shouting his desire for death to the invader, genocidal army that's purposefully mass murdering children - that of Israel - whilst nobody in Britain was ever investigated by police for wanting the death of members of the invading Russian army in Ukraine, even though the latter is barelly targetting civilians and never explicitly children (unlike the former).

Racism, extreme and profound Racism even, is the most reasonable explanation for such a massive disconnect in their reaction to those two different aggressors in proportion to the crimes they're committing, more so given that a money reason would yield an unbalanced reaction in the very opposite direction.

Exactly.

The problem is those countries were the 19th century colonialist mindset isn "something we fortunately left behind" but instead is alive and well.
