Ahh, so if someone fights you for your land, destroys your home and genocides your people, then they've earned it?? Well I should not be surprised that someone who lives in a nation founded on genocide thinks this is okay.

Nice try putting words in my mouth, but I never said any of this was "OK". It doesn't have my "blessing", I merely gave my observation grounded in reality, of how the world works. Hell no, if it was up to me, everything everywhere would be resolved peacefully, fairly and with diplomacy, not violence.

Honestly given your tone and snide remarks, I suspect you are too emotionally invested on this topic, for whatever reason, to have a rational discussion.

But either way, the ability to occupy and defend land will remain the determining factor in maintaining sovereignty, now and in the future. You can't count on the international community, and you can't count on what's right or just. ( call me a pessimist, I'll agree :)

OK but OP didn't say anything about white vs black culture. They basically said the whole region is trash with no redeeming value. That includes everyone, white, black, Asian, latinx, native american, etc etc.

If the argument is that specifically racist southerners suck, then I think (hope) we could all agree. Slavery was awful, Jim crow was awful, and the voter suppression ongoing today is also awful. But that doesn't take away from the accomplishments of those individuals, nor make them any less southern.

My friend and I talk about this all the time. Some of the most spectacular natural environments are home to the shittiest people.

Idaho is a good example. Appalachia is also quite beautiful, if undereducated and backward. Seems to be globally true.

But I wouldn't overlook the decent people who exist in all of these places, and they actually do have vibrant cultures. We can thank the south for jazz, blues, rock and a lot of delicious food, and they've produced excellent writers, artists, scientists and more.

Even worse is for example domestic violence and abuse victims who might have a secret phone stashed away which could be located with the very loud emergency alert. I seem to recall posts going around to notify those people to have their phone turned off during that time.

Didn't Arabs and Palestinians just flat out refuse to coexist with a Jewish state from the start? The international community proposed a solution and they refused to accept it.

Certainly if they chose to fight, and lost, then they have to face the consequences which might include losing their land.

That's hardy unprecedented, the very city I live in was largely founded by seizing lands from the British during the American war of independence, because they lost...

I would say while yes it's "wrong" to kick someone off their land, both parties have to at least be reasonable and willing to compromise when you have a complex ethnic and religious issue. Otherwise conflict is inevitable.

None of which is to excuse any war crimes committed by either side. I just think it's more nuanced than "israel bad apartheid state".

Does staring off into space while someone talks at me count as "interaction"?

There is definitely a cost. I've spent an unhealthy amount of time alone in my life. I even used to be proud of how long I would go without talking. Much of that was caused by untreated social anxiety. It was easier to sequester myself in my dorm or apartment, and study or work remotely.

The result is that yes I found ways to cope without human connection, including imagining that I wasn't alone, but they make it far more difficult now when I do need to socialize, I feel all the more isolated and awkward.

Also not all human connection has the same value even to an extreme introvert. Like texting and such is OK, but a lot of times ppl are afk, so I might be in a very social mood but not able to satisfy it. Books, movies, games don't really "scratch the itch" for me personally.

My dad freaks out after about an hour if he doesn't have someone around or on the phone. So... yes!

Idk the cloudflare ones are really awful... and I can't imagine what they're supposed to be training. Most of the time it's protecting a landing page, not even something like account registration where it could be semi-justifiable.

Afaik the only thing I'm guilty of is using a vpn.

Wouldn't contraceptives be an even better protection?

You can't have birth defects if you're never conceived taps head

And this might not qualify as a 'UI trend', but I'd like to personally wish a pox on whoever decided complex, multistep and ambiguous captcha puzzles were a good idea.

God those irritate me. Like ffs haven't you figured out I'm human yet?! %$#*

Single page websites with only a few marketing blurbs, stock photos/meaningless graphics elements.

I want to know actual details about your product or service, so naturally I explore the menu... and every link takes me right back to anchors on the single page with its useless blurbs. Aaaaagh!

Nothing happened. That's why nobody is ever allowed under any circumstances to reference that day, because there is nothing to say about a day which never happened. Perfectly logical and not suspicious at all.

Like idk. Doesn't the censorship of that specific location and day specifically draw people's attention and make it more fascinating?

Yeah the constant stream of critical CVEs affecting C/C++ libraries that get patched on my computer is legitimately frightening. So much low quality (and dangerous) code out there. Maybe if you have a personal project that doesn't connect to another device... you could be justified in writing C code. Or tiny embedded systems?

Modern C++ is actually pretty good. The language gets knocked firstly because it's complex, and secondly a lot of people remember the old pre-C++11 days. It's like a different language now.

But it's a looong way from being my favorite language. That goes something like Python... by a lot; Rust; JavaScript; C# and then everything else.

Gotta say the older I get, the more I appreciate what he stands for. Especially as we spiral toward a dystopian future where privacy is suspect and surveillance is everywhere, FOSS is the only way to retain control over our digital lives.

It's a muskism.

I hereby define that term as a noun meaning an "impulsive decision you know you'll regret later, but you make it anyway, just to annoy people".

Does that price include ads?

while prison is where people who have been charged, found guilty and sentenced to prison will go

Not strictly true, jails can also house those convicted of less serious crimes (say, less than 1yr), as well as temporarily awaiting transfer to other facilites.

Looks like the UN only visited jails in person, but interviewed people with a range of experiences. You can read the full report here: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/09/systemic-racism-pervades-us-police-and-justice-systems-un-mechanism-racial

They still sell the old slow ones don't they? from the website: "Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+ will remain in production until at least January 2026" "Raspberry Pi 3 Model B will remain in production until at least January 2028" etc etc.

If you like pain, go get yourself a rpi1 lol. As for me, idk... I'm drawn more to VMs and containers which can run very well even on a 2011 tower pc (with few upgrades over the years).

I don't need any of those things tho. Mostly what I need is decent IO throughput which was unnecessarily constrained on earlier pis by poor design choices. The pi4 is the first to really shine in that regard.

I have a pi2 and I used it as a libreelec media center, and it was Ok in that capacity, but it's far too slow to transfer larger files regardless of how you do it (all relies on a slow usb interface).
