Internet protocols are better in so many ways

This is VERY debatable because statements that broad are almost always false. There is no need to have a cellular->IP->cellular bridge for 1:1 communication involving more servers, more service providers. If anyone wanted to they could implement at least the 1:1 signal protocol and probably even the messaging layer security protocol on top of SMS to get e2ee group communications.

Nobody wants to because cell providers sell SMS for horrendous prices compared to internet access.

I mean to be honest to only reason to use messengers is just costs, I wish SMS where as cheap as internet flatrates... But that might very well be a regional issue too

Is this a regional thing? I don't know anyone that actually uses SMS anymore

Yes!

Just not handling the filedescriptors isn't really an option though. They should at least be closed to ensure the process doesn't run out of filedescriptors which would be a pretty easy way of DOS'ing that service

Go with -Os to optimise for codesize

I think part of the problem is that for the longest time antisemites had to rely on complete lies to push their propaganda, which mostly worked best when there was a crisis that could be blamed on "the Jews". The current actions of the Israeli government does two things: firstly it causes valid criticism of these actions and secondly it allows antisemites to use this valid criticism to push their antisemitic views but this time having to lie less (note that there are still lies involved and blaming the entirety of the Jews for anything the Israeli government does is obviously bullshit).

So I agree with you: The actual reason for a rise in antisemitism is not the Israeli government. But the current actions of the Israeli government help antisemites push their views. These two things often get conflated into the statement "Israel is causing antisemitism".

You ought to love humanity. "We are shipping flower seeds halfway across the globe so we have at least some legitimacy to make an online rating marginally better"

I'm not sure that particular problem would be solved better in a more direct democracy. The issue is that a lot of people consistently vote against their own interests, which would have the same effect in both systems

I mean, you support the disparity in wealth when you think you deserve more before others who have less.

That is just... mathematically wrong.

If living in cheaper areas isn’t good enough for you, why should you get more before the people who live in these places? You already have more than them, but you think you deserve even more without being able to afford it.

What you are doing is textbook for trying to make the lower classes fight amongst themselves. Yes there are disparities between the people belonging to one class but they are way way smaller than the disparities between the classes. It's also a strawman argument. Just saying "I don't want to be priced out of my home" is not asking for more. It's literally asking for no change.

That’s textbook entitlement and hypocrisy. This is why you people get mad whenever I suggest moving to cheaper areas. You don’t want to acknowledge your own contribution to the problems.

I get mad because you identify the wrong problem. The problem is not with people not wanting to leave their homes the problem is with the system pricing people out of their homes.

Can you think of another way to take matters into your own hands?

A few actually, None of them currently legal.

Do you know why they aren't legal? Because the whole deal with representative democracy is, in the end, to wait for the people that I elect to solve my problems. Because it is tedious and time-consuming if I have to fight every battle on my own. It's also unfair because most of my problems exist because of unfairly distributed wealth, which makes the fights I'd have to take quite unbalanced. Acknowledging this has nothing to do with being lazy or cowardly it's just a reality. A reality that you can run away from by "taking it into your own hands and move into less desirable regions" or you can try to change the rules that allow the problem to exist in the first place.

No your point was to "just move" and being less "entitled". This is obviously a solution with a lot of flaws for a problem that is very much man made. Telling people to "just move" ignores this and dismisses the need for an actual solution, where the actual solution can only be implemented by banding together and not by individuals.

And you think sitting back and letting everything just happen is going to cause that cultural shift?

Well with that attitude nothing is ever gonna get better

The whole point is that "just move" is certainly not a silver bullet, it should not be a thing at all, and it can be literally impossible for some people. What we need is rules against people being extortet out of their money via rent. Because that is what "not being able to afford" a place that you could afford previously is.

The sheer "entitlement" of

• Not wanting to lose social network
• Not wanting to lose a job
• Not being able to pay double rent + deposit + moving costs all in the same timeframe

The "just move" crowd is so weird to me.

It's also potentially skipping some of the parts that should be looked at. It depends on the training set.

Creating the bag would create a very big underpressure, immediately imploding the bag and probably killing the creator

Anybody here care to tell me the general feeling among the civilians in Gaza towards Hamas?

Do the civilians think they are in the midst of a genocide being committed by Israel?

Look buddyboy you asked how the people in gaza feel, my response was to ask you how you'd feel in their place, describing one of the many atrocities Happening around and to civilians in gaza. If this is your reaction I honestly don't know why you even asked in the first place.

It's not behind a paywall for me, sorry for that. But I have to ask, if you are aware of these kinds of incidents why did you ask for proof?
