  • Another undercomplex take.

    I'm pretty sure it's the interpretation most people will conclude to when they see someone wave that flag at a demonstration, though. There's a Palestine flag too. Raising that gives a very different image.

    For example germany, usa, etc have done unspeakable things, yet we can raise their flag.

    The German "Third Reich" had it's own flag, which is forbidden in Germany. I can see your point, though.

    Those are country flags, though, not a country's militia flag. Germany has other Nazi symbols outlawed too.

  • To a degree, I do. I can understand why it happens, and see opposition as just to some degree. And there is part of the blame on civilian settlers invading too, with ignorance or deliberately. But there is nuance in actions (damaging property vs people, etc), and planning for and handling consequences. The terror evidently caused much more terror and damage to their own side. It did not improve the situation at all.

    If you're looking at the situation now, is it more important to support armed defense and opposition, or opposing Isreal in its activities? It's very clear to me.

    Supporting Hezbollah doesn't give us anything in this situation. It is damaging in rallying support and in supporting Palestinians and their misery.

  • You don’t support the only hope Palestine has of being free.

    I don't think the current state and progress support your argument. We can see what they brought to all of Palestine, all of the civilian Palestinians. It's certainly not freedom.

    Do you just want them to peacefully die?

    You want them to die in terror? Not just those fighting, but all of them? That's what's happening right now.

  • Did anyone blanket disregard groups in this thread? I don't see it.

    We can understand why a group picks up arms, and can even see it as just to a degree, while disagreeing with some of their actions.

    Some activities being covered by international human rights doesn't mean all of them are. Raising their flag means supporting all of their actions.

  • Makes me want to fly a Hezbollah flag myself.

    I get your feeling of injustice, putting them into relation. But flying a Hezbollah flag doesn't change that, and doesn't support your argument. It just supports Hezbollah. You can criticize without supporting the next best worst opposition.

    If you want to demonstrate the maximum amount of opposition, with disregard for anything else, it does that. And that may have some effect and value too.

    But what's your goal, and who do you want to reach? Who will you push away by flying a flag of a terrorist organisation (looking at what they did, irrelevant why they came to be and act the way they do for now)? Isn't supporting Palestine and Palestinians, demonstrating for their right to exist and live, and against Israel's terror - isn't that just as viable? Isn't that the goal? I don't think there's a need to support Hezbollah or fly their flag for that?


    Israel should definitely be held to the same standards, which it currently is not.

  • That sounds like a game. Guess the word[s].

    Whoever the company is, we have to assume it's not a security-related company. Because, surely, none of those would do that ever.

    What's the distribution of variance in brute force protections on online services?

  • No, it does not take up more space for ASCII characters.

    If you want a source, Wikipedia

    the first 128 characters of Unicode, which correspond one-to-one with ASCII, are encoded using a single byte with the same binary value as ASCII

  • That's insane.

    But you could decide on the positions of letters and numbers? While it had to be exactly 10 and two?

  • Is that point 24 - the limit they set?

  • I'm not the one you're asking, but I've had a case where using the maximum number lead to login issues. A character less did not have issues. Must have been an off-by-one implementation issue (maybe a text terminator character). 32 is a power of two number. Seems like a reasonable approach to evade such issues categorically - at the cost of a character by default of course.

    I rated these in 2022. I thought I didn't enjoy Princess Mononoke like I did long before. Either way, baffling how many Studio Ghibli films are great or exceptional.

    I think Princess Mononoke was my entry point into anime (other than weekly series on TV). I still have the German DVD.
