I agree with your general point about metal subgenres but they do help me a bit. For example, I've got no disrespect towards the subgenres of nu-metal or the trve cvlt type of black metal but it's just not for me, so if I see something tagged as that I can easily avoid it. As I say, that is in no way a diss of those genres, they're just not to my taste.

And the part you left out - just before the 'victim created an incident', the male called her a n-word - twice - , then pushed her hard.

The Met are already using it - just not (yet) on bodycams.

The company behind it, who supply the data are called Facewatch. I'm not going to link to their site but they're the ones supplying the tech and db. They did it by scraping social media sites as well as government documents and the plan is to add the UK Passport db data soon.

Most of the country are change hating small c conservatives who genuinely believe the state knows best and is totally trustworthy. They get their news from the Daily Mail or The Sun because Britain is the best country ever. Its the mindset that ensures we still have a class system, a monarchy and brexit.

I may be being overly pedantic here but that statement, whilst I don't doubt its good intent, always reads to me like a bit of a get out of jail free card.

I'm not sure how much weight you can place on a recommendation when the full criteria isn't know and can be changed on a whim. And yes, I'm aware I can browse the forum, ask and see for myself but I'm not sure your average user is going to feel confident enough to do that.

Disclaimer: not a security expert at all, just a working knowledge. However, what I read 18 months or so after reading that github thread was enough to reassure me.

That's the discussion that's approaching 3 years old.

A recent PG forum thread is discussing it. PG deemed it not secure enough almost three years ago, based on solid reasoning.

However, that was three years ago and the product has altered dramatically. I just don't think it's been resuggested/evaluated since then.

PG forum users (and PG itself) are pretty inconsistent with how they judge stuff. Not trusting one company (Filen) because there were issues three years ago (and are now, as I understand it, fully addressed) but totally trusting another company (Brave browser) despite repeated actions that erode trust is odd behaviour.

I'm a filen user myself, just in the interests of full disclosure.

• Like Reddit, KBin and Lemmy are 'link aggregators'
• This means, in subject driven Communities (sub-reddits), people post links or images or their thoughts and others comment on them
• Reddit is software that's installed in one central location (server). This means it is owned and controlled by one single commercial entity.
• Kbin and Lemmy are both software that are installed in multiple locations (servers), owned and controlled by multiple people and can be installed by anyone. This means no one can ever own or control the entirety of Lemmy.
• Reddit, KBin and Lemmy can be accessed by users via websites or apps.
• Reddit is centralised. If it disappeared tomorrow, it would be completely gone.
• KBin and Lemmy are federated. If one instance (server) disappeared tomorrow, all the others would be unaffected and carry on as normal.
• All instances of KBin and Lemmy can talk to all other instances of KBin and Lemmy, as long as they are federated.
• Rule breaking and/or toxic instances/servers can be defederated by other servers/instances.
• Reddit, KBin and Lemmy are all free to use. However, with Reddit you must contend with invasive privacy and advertising. The way to support KBin and Lemmy is to donate to the development team and the server/instance your account is on.

Those Light fuckwits are in the next town to mine. So far, infiltration has been resisted but I'm ready for if it does start.

101. If you get kicked from an instance, upon joining a new instance, make your first post a furious comment on the admins/mods/hivemind of the instance that kicked you, completely forgetting we can all see the modlog.

It's not exactly thronging with life but it's not dead either.

Reddit was created as a Digg clone so there were no sub's and no comments, just links to up/down vote.

A lot of those links were scraped in an effort to make it seem popular. Both Aaron and Spez have admitted that.

I imagine they did, yet no one was hurt in the hospital.

Right, apart from the multiple deaths no one was hurt.

It’s funny. The video of Israelis delivering fuel was even on CNN. Must be my lying eyes again.

Yeah, I saw that too. Funnily enough, as I thought I was clear about, I wasn't disputing they did. I was disputing why or how it was refused.

Anyway, after that interesting little side mission, lets get back to the point. if a major hospital in Israel was being attacked and disabled by a vastly superior force and everyone in it either killed or forced to move because this force said a terrorist group had a major operational base there and they presented the exact same evidence as the IDF have, would you believe it then?

If you genuinely believe that then us having this conversation is pointless. The IDF themselves confirmed they'd sent about 100 Commando's and six tanks to the hospital which several days before had lost power and oxygen leading to multiple deaths. To spell it out to you, you send commandos and tanks to attack and intimidate, not have a pleasant chat.

The fuel thing - I have no idea who to believe at this point. There's no verified evidence either claim is true or untrue.

Hospitals in that part of the world aren’t organized by western standards.

I'm not suggesting they are. I'm simply suggesting to you that no two hospitals offer the same level of services, or even the same services.

Besides which I doubt a hamas terrorist is thinking about a hospital’s quality of care, even if they knew it existed in the first place.

I'm pretty sure that, aside from a medical professional, a terrorist is the ideal person to ask about the services a hospital is capable of delivering.

So I shouldn’t believe my lying eyes. I see

Your eyes aren't what's lying. You're lying to yourself if you genuinely believe what the IDF have presented as incontrovertible proof isn't very severely lacking in just about every respect. They've literally been caught doctoring video.

If the sides were reversed here...if a major hospital in Israel was being attacked and disabled by a vastly superior force and everyone in it either killed or forced to move because this force said a terrorist group had a major operational base there and they presented the exact same evidence as the IDF have, would you believe it then?

Good grief, do you really not understand that some hospitals offer different types of treatment to others???

Not all hospitals are set up for emergency treatment. Seriously.

But lets (once more) give you the benefit of the doubt and say all those hospitals are the same size and offer the exact treatment that that one does...how does that establish that hospital as a major command centre for Hamas? That's the IDF's rationale for attacking that hospital after all.

Look, I am not saying that hospital is a Hamas free zone, that no one form Hamas has ever been in it. I'm not even saying that it isn't Hamas' favoured hospital because of it's location or maybe there are a few Hamas-friendly people on staff there. I mean, there is zero evidence for any of that but it's a possibility, right? It's also a possibility that you and the IDF are absolutely correct and it really is a major command centre for Hamas.

What I'm saying to you is that, based on what the IDF have presented as evidence - none of it verified, and that which has been examined revealed to have been altered/edited and all of it completely shorn of any context by which we might be able to make inferences - there's pretty much nothing to suggest it is/was.

And do all those other hospitals offer identical and appropriate services? Because in my local area there are three hospitals, all offering differing types of services, meaning that depending on what I needed treatment for I would have to drive reasonably close to two of them, including emergency care.

This feels like a real stretch - that map you linked to - the straight line goes near (ish) two other hospitals, not five for example. Maybe the hostages didn't require hospital treatment until they were in that area? Who knows? Your assigning meaning to actions based solely on your desire for it to be true, not on actual evidence.

But OK, lets say you're right and they ignored all the other hospitals because their goal was that area in particular - how does that equate to that hospital being a major and extensive command post when literally nothing that's been presented as evidence by the IDF demonstrates that opinion? Surely if it was then there'd be a lot more than a few random terrorists on those stills.

Let me put it another way - if three or four Hamas terrorists took thirsty hostages to a Starbucks, would you see that as definitive proof that that Starbucks is, or is on top of, an extensive Hamas command post?

At some point you're going to need actual evidence, independently verified. Not just unexplained, unverified crap that could mean anything.
