Hate everyone except Israel?

Almost every Muslim's eyes is at the horrors being committed in Israel, yet these "Muslims" never bothered to be concerned with them?

"Calling" someone your enemy is completely useless when you're executing their foreign policy. If you care more about who they "call" their enemy rather than who they are actually murdering, then... Well I'll stop right here out of respect.

And this isn't even about Russia or China. ISIS was born out of the Syrian war, yet again executing someone's foreign policy. ISIS shared a border with Israel for a time and never made any attacks, but continue to murder Muslims time after time.

Like what? What did it solve that activitypub refused to?

Out of curiosity, what brought you to lemmy and what interested you in it? I am a techie myself (I work in tech), and was always into decentralized stuff. I feel like decentralism doesn't appeal to most Arabs though. What was it for you?

Didn't say you can't whatever you want. I said "by your logic". That was assuming you don't contradict your own logic, but of course you can otherwise :)

Nice to see someone from Middle East here. Do you know of any active communities or instances for our kind?

They actually are exceptional. In many countries, religious schools are not for the purpose of avoiding laws of curriculums. Some countries force the curriculum anyways, and said schools can only add their own. In some places, there's not a hard rule to avoid.

By your logic, you cannot dismiss the project for being a personal one. Only if it fails, is it dismissable.

Given they mention arch and gentoo, I suppose they intend it as a daily driver / desktop.

The PDS, in many ways, fulfills a simple role: it hosts your account and gives you the ability to log in, it holds the signing keys for your data, and it keeps your data online and highly available. Unlike a Mastodon instance, it does not need to function as a full-fledged social media service. We wanted to make atproto data hosting—like web hosting—into a fairly simple commoditized service. The PDS’s role has been limited in scope to achieve this goal. By limiting the scope, the role of a PDS in maintaining an open and fluid data network has become all the more powerful.

And:

In the Bluesky app, we hardcode our in-house moderation to provide a strong foundation that upholds our community guidelines. We will continue to uphold our existing policies in the Bluesky app, even as this new architecture is made available. With the introduction of labelers, users will be able to subscribe to additional moderation services on top of the existing foundation of our in-house moderation.

You'll see a lot more on their site. But the point is, this is more about a "distributed infrastructure" than federated control. So much still has to go through their central servers. Hosting your own server has little benefits. Moderation is still very centralized, even after their planned features for moderation.

I haven't really come into any issues on lemmy. Can you point to an example?

They've already made it clear what they mean by federation, and it has none of the benefits of real federation like in lemmy or mastodon.

Are you taking a class or reading a book?

Reading a book actually. A programmer by craft who never studied CS, so decided to do it on my own. I appreciate the depth of your answer, thank you! :)

So Turing machines cannot be considered equivalent to algorithms when we involve steps like random number generation? How does church-turing address this? Isn't that part of what's "computable"?

Why call this a stargazing event if you can't actually spot it? The time frame is on the order of months.

You're right, I should look into the 4050 range.

I agree on this. Unfortunately this is for a gift to someone who I tried to convince to get a desktop but wouldn't change her opinion.

I see. I have little knowledge, but I bet that the "root privileges" part of this process is the reboot. Upon rebooting, system updates are applied from the new image via some privileged process.

That's pretty neat. Unfortunately I haven't ventured deeply enough into that type of system yet (was it called immutable distro or something?). I use gentoo, which doesn't support this out of the box.

Thanks for showing me something new!

Would you show the same skepticism against US official statements, CNN or BBC?

Only the root user has access to system updates on my system currently.

What does rpm-ostree update do exactly? Does it execute the update? Or is that the rebase command only?
