No, you just did whataboutism.

Which is why I separated my other commentary, and addressed it in general, and not directly at you.

Because while it's related to your comment, you hadn't crossed that bridge yet, but there's no shortage of that in these comments, read up and down.

Israel knows their client state, including the IDF and political leadership. Do you even read Israeli newspapers regularly?

I'm well aware of AIPAC, and the extent of their lobbying and influence operations.

None of that has anything to do with what I've been talking about.

Do whatever works best for you.

I will say that after years and years of regularly switching workstation and laptop distros for a variety of reasons, after finally giving Fedora a shake, I'm done. I've installed it on both my primary laptop and desktops and can't imagine switching again.

But I am still sticking with Debian as my primary server base.

Maybe you are under informed. The Abraham Accords and the moving of the US embassy were escalations in this conflict.

It's like three or four comments up, did you even look?

Or does your extensive knowledge of Middle Eastern history not extend back that far?

In case you're still confused, both of those actions were taken by the Trump administration, and it was the sole content of that comment.

....what? You just said Abraham accords are the reason for this conflict... That's the same as saying Trump is to blame....

And just because I'm rightfully assigning blame to Biden, the current sitting US president and self-proclaimed biggest support of Israel, doesn't mean I support Trump.

Feel free to creep on all of my comment history, my political leanings should be pretty self-evident.

Don't you feel gross telling people that if they say Biden's policies have allowed the situation to get out of control, it means they support Trump?

I mean, you do understand that ultimately Israel is our client state and entirely dependent upon our aid for their survival, right?

They literally could not be prosecuting this war if we stopped shipping them weapons, and they would never have attacked Iran if we didn't have our CSG and accompanying missile destroyers sitting in between them.

Oh, just FYI I don't game, so if there are some HDR features for gaming you're hoping for, I can't speak to that.

Wait, so you're saying that US culpability in this conflict starts, and ends, with the Trump administration...?

Again, I don't think it's me who's under informed on this issue.....

Running Fedora with dual HDR monitors just fine, but it's entirely possible that something is off that I'm not catching. They're also running off my Nvidia GPU.

I'll just add that they look the same as when I used to run Win10 on the same box.

It's just as insane as asking this question on Lemmy.

No offense, but you'd have better luck on Reddit, which has at least a larger number of users who don't veer as far left as the average Lemmy user, as well as decent numbers of actual conservative and MAGAs.

But yes, like the rest of the commenters here, I agree it is insane, prejudicial, and one of the most clear cut examples of systemic racism.

Back when VICE was still somewhat of a journalistic organization, they did a pretty good piece on it.

I'm not informed...?

No US president in history, from either party, has been this hands-off with Israel. Period.

And I didn't say war, I said situation, as in the nonstop spiraling of events, without as much as a waiver in US support: diplomatically, militarily, or financially.

The fact that you don't know that, shows it's not me who is misinformed.

NewPipe clients work fine, as long as they're updated.

I use PipePipe and Tubular regularly, and both devs are pretty good about pushing out updates quickly when YT breaks.

First off, this isn't a secret, and it's not new.

This is just more of the same, the press going the extra mile to give reach-around cover and misdirection for the failed policies of the current administration, or rather, their actual policies, which have lead us to where we are.

I think you can enable IIS, or at least some version of it, under Windows Features for Windows 10 Pro/Edu installs.

But someone can correct me if I'm wrong about that.

DoD already started this with their Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA).

And I agree, the government should use its power to force interoperable and open standards wherever possible and relevant.

I think the real question is, what do you want to repurpose it for?

Because the answer to your question is yes, it is usable, but whether or not it's capable of what you want to use it for, we can't say without more information.

Linux installation appears to be possible. This is a wiki to an Arch on ARM distro, but you might want to look for something a bit more user friendly if you're not comfortable with Arch.

Just remember, it's a fairly low spec machine. Think of it like a Raspberry Pi with a keyboard and monitor built in, in terms of what you can hope to run on it.

Oh yes, the renowned Marxist revolutionary.... Gavin Newsom.

Newsom has no credibility with, or loyalty to, anyone, except his donor class and California oligarchs.

Is this local mayor a shitheel? Maybe, probably, who knows.

I just know Gavin Newsom is a grade-A POS, and view any of his moves, especially ones he yells loudly about, with a great skepticism.

I mean, yeah, but I think that's placing the US military on a pedestal, with the unsaid implication that they're somehow unique in that regard.

I don't imagine there's many, if any, military forces on earth, who would both be used to invade and occupy foreign lands, and not make similar decisions.

No, I'm living in this thread. I'm talking about very specific issues related to LLMs, that I've highlighted ad nauseam.

Reread if you're confused.

If anything, it shows that you believe in the concept of "AI" way more than I do, as you're conflating LLM and FSD.

I don't believe in AI, it doesn't exist. Just specific advanced machine learning algorithms, some better than others, and some all smoke and mirrors. But here, now, I'm talking about LLMs.
