I don't support the indiscriminate bombing of the Gaza territory by the IDF. The IDF should practice restraint and act in a way to minimize civil casualties.

But, consider that the Hamas militants deliberately use civilian buildings (hospitals, schools, mosques, etc.) as their military bases, and try their best to blend in with the civilians, when international law dictates all combatants in a war should be wearing uniforms so as to avoid mixing civilians in the skirmishes.

Under those circumstances, and knowing that until the Hamas is anhilated there won't be true peace for Israeli civilians (risk of new missile attacks), it's only natural that Israel will keep pressuring for the destruction on Hamas.

Will there be collateral damage? Sure, like all wars there will be. Especially when Hamas is doing its best to maximize civilian casualties so the useful idiots in the west take pity on them.

Should Israel be scrutinized for their effectiveness in minimizing civilian casualties? Sure. But I don't think that we, living comfortably in countries in which there's no neighbouring nation trying to send missiles at us, should be in a position to demand they cease the war just because we want them to, or pressure them to accept any ceasefire deal that's not good for them. It's primarily up to Israel to decide what's best for the security of their citizens. And also for the security of their soldiers, which have families awaiting for their safe return home when this war's over.

In this scenario, I'd not blame the IDF if they're a little more trigger-happy than we would feel it's reasonable. It's easy for us to judge when we're safe and sound in our countries. But the soldiers are human too and they'll do what's best to preserve their lives. If a neighbouring country launched missiles against my country, I'm sorry for sounding cold, but I'd rather they die them my people die. Of course, I'd prefer if the military acted in a way to minimize casualties so as to preserve the innocent, but if being too careful in this quest endangers the soldiers of my country, I'd prefer my soldiers enhance their survival rate a little more than grant this benefit to the nation that attacked me first.

I'm actually trying to do the opposite. For some reason my phone keeps the old Twitter icon on my home screen while it is already updated to X in the Google Play Store.

Yeah, like being affiliated to universities is some kind of stamp of trustworthiness at this point... After the pro-Hamas protests that took place in said universities, and the persecution of Jewish students who were basically blocked from attending school.

Maybe the Palestinians themselves devalue their own lives compared to Israeli lives. Just look at when they agreed to a ceasefire and traded hostages for prisoners: each hostage was worth multiple prisoners released by Israel.

This is also noticeable when Hamas use their own population as human shields, exemplified by when they hide their soldiers and weapons in hospitals and schools. Or when they blend in with civilians on purpose by not using any combatant uniform like the IDF do. They really don't care for their own civilians. These are only useful for acting as human shields and, if they're killed or injured, strike a pose for NatGeo-style photos in their attempts to appeal to western sentiment.

It seems they're already gone when I went to check. Does anyone know what these games are about? Are they PC exclusives or do we have the emulation option for them?

That's something I failed to consider when reading the headline. 😅

If Musk can prove their speech is based on maliciously cherry-picked examples and that it caused financial harm to his companay, of course he can sue for damages. They keep their freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences.

Your voice kinda reminds me of this youtuber which I've been subscribed to since old times.

Maybe he meant in the sense that they filtered out the shovelware and asset flips from Epic Games Store (at least until recently) so to make the store look good. That way they're providing hosting only for the games that actually will be downloaded a decent amount of times, avoiding wasting storage on bad/forgotten games.

Just gotta find one that doesn't.

That's assuming the Suyu team is based on the USA, where the DMCA can screw them over. As they're hosting their code on GitLab istead of GitHub, it may hint they got this covered.

For those looking for the latest Yuzu and Citra releases: Yuzu Win/Linux Early Access, Yuzu Android, Citra Win/Mac/Linux/Android.

Yeah, I was just wondering if they'll really invest in advanced nodes, or will settle on outdated nodes for use in the automobile industry.

Ironically, the link to this as article is offline for me. "Cached" surely would solve my problem.

That's an awful decision by Twilo. I deliberately only install Authy on my Desktop computers because they're always at home and cannot be easily stolen/lost like my phone.

I feel like if this article was written with no mention of Arabs, Muslins or Palestinians employees, but just mentioned employees in general fearing being retaliated, Sugarfree's comment would still stand nonetheless. And I kind of agree that if they fear expressing their opinions it's because their opinions are too extreme and they know it. I mean, the "from the river to the sea" kind of opinion.

If the company's private, which means its stocks are not tradeable anymore, what's the point in measuring the company value at this point?

Even the Steam Deck being computationally weaker than Asus' and Lenovo's offerings, I believe it's still the superior option due to Valve's commitment to its repairability. I would not be confortable buying an expensive gadget like these and not having the peace of mind of having rapair parts officially available for purchase.

What's being proposed is that the extension would modify the page to add a Lemmy frame for commenting. This frame is autonomous in the sense the user must provide his Lemmy login information for it to work, which is different from Google login information. Google is not even aware the page is being modified by an external comment section, and even if it could detect it, it wouldn't be able to track individual users.

Yeah, I'm also out of the loop on this whole drama...
