One of the first PC games I played in 92.. can't believe I'm still playing it

I regularly forget what year it is though...

I agree, but in a war you do not have the luxury of apprehending every soldier for trial. Compare: the tactics of pretty much every single country.

OIOS was not able to independently authenticate...

OIOS are being churlish since it's obviously excruciatingly embarrassing for a UN agency to have been used as cover by Hamas. Note they don't say "we saw evidence and disagree with it". They're saying "yeah, Israel showed us actual evidence that these guys are part of the attacks, we just couldn't get a second version of that evidence from anywhere else. But we'll still act on it".

But that's to be expected if what they've been shown are mobile cell tower records or images from military security cameras or even private messages these guys sent themselves.

Note UNWRA are refusing to take any action against the ten or so other accused where they felt there was no good evidence. But these nine they're saying "ok, fair enough, we'll fire them".

Doesn't that show you there's at least varying qualities of evidence in the background? And if it were easy to dismiss it as manufactured by Israel they would have done so. But for these nine they agree to take action, but just grumble about the fact that this evidence, although apparently good quality enough, was handed over via Israeli channels.

I use Boost on android, it works well. There are quite a few to try.

"we heavily biased the network against trains and now it's just saying the optimal car consists of several metal struts connecting just two thinned out wheels that the driver sits on top of and propels themselves using pedals. It was busy redesigning intersections to have clear safe lanes for these bi-cycle 'cars' with plenty of trees / room for pedestrians when we pulled the plug..."

I'm not up to speed on exactly how spam filters blacklist domains but I strongly suspect if Gmail thought spam was coming from email.facebook.com then it would restrict facebook.com too. That's the only reason I can think of for creating such a clunky domain; it's that a neater looking sub domain won't avoid the problem - hence having to register something completely different.

Lemmy is a great opportunity to ignore karma. So ignore it.

Unification of European and North African economic areas

Minority rights for whites in America

Losing track of how many of your friends are AI

I'm a contractor, I take my earbuds out and tell them I'm still billing...

Isn't that the point of a trial? To review evidence rather than have come to a judgment already?

Israel showed the UN the evidence it had that UNWRA members had taken part in the Oct 7 terror attacks and as a result the UN agreed and fired those membersUN press release

All I'm saying is since we know some hid amongst UNWRA members then I would not be surprised if some hid amongst WCK as well...

Can you admit all these things may be true at the same time: Israel committing war crimes AND exaggerating claims AND Hamas are hiding amongst WCF and other civilian groups?

WHAT?! ha that's exactly what I was talking about.. thanks

They probably want to separate their customers from getting up to stupid spammy behaviour and getting the domain blacklisted from their ability to deliver their own official Facebook email notifications. There probably ought to be better ways to do that, but the fact Facebook went "yeah, we gotta register the shitty domain facebookemail.com" makes me think they're working around a crappy limitation of smtp email.

Perfect thanks!

Born into the Coppola family, Cage began his career in..[].. various films by his uncle Francis Ford Coppola such as Rumble Fish (1983), The Cotton Club (1984), and Peggy Sue Got Married (1986).

Bit late for that!

Ha ha no way. Really?

Couldn't afford a back up engine? Probably scrimped on getting it serviced too. Choices.

And just for anyone reading this for the financial job interview. Yes, shirt and tie. The people interviewing won't be wearing one, and might even comment, but it's far far better than finding yourself underdressed compared to the interviewer. Being slightly overdressed no-one will mind and then day one in the office is tie-less smart casual like everyone else.

Yes, that sounds right. I wouldn't wear either of the outer two options (of the 5 above) to interview. Too casual. Shirt + jumper is a good smart relaxed middle ground.

Yes. I think his character dies in one of the Jack Ryan films (clear and present danger?) and for years my brain thought that was real life..

Very accurate. Working for a small dev shop with sympathetic senior team members brought me through 2 and into the start of 3. But a job change (into something I only barely qualified for) meant I had to trek phase 3 alone. It's a loong slog, and the myriad of technologies in the intro without ever feeling like you know anything is spot on (I would frequently be reading web pages for help only to pull my hair out at how often they mentioned things I should know but didn't). Fortunately I had gone to work for an IT team embedded in a larger company, not a software company itself, and they had far lower standards. I don't think that's a good thing in general, but it did allow me to get semi hacky things done during the desert of despair and I felt like I was delivering just as often as I was floundering. The upswing of awesome is real though. I hit it about 5 or 6 years in. I found my niche, everything id been reading and studying suddenly started to reinforce one another rather than sow deeper confusion and confidence and productivity started to multiply. About 7 years in I was technical lead in a couple of business critical areas. After 8 years I started my own consultancy in those technologies and have never looked back. I take care now to give junior staff projects that stretch them, and they need to work at, but which aren't soul crushing.
