Comment Racket notwithstanding, would you trust Facebook? (Score 5, Insightful) 108

Facebook asks you to pay them not to abuse you. If that's not a Mafia-style protection racket, I don't know what is.

But besides that, even if you do pay, how can you trust Facebook not to put you under surveillance, invade your privacy and monetize your data anyway? The one thing Facebook has proven again and again over the years is that they're not to be trusted in any way, and it's not like an independent body will ensure they're true to their word.

All you'll see if you pay up is the outward appearance that Facebook is not invading your privacy. Whether it's true or it's just theater... I know what my money is on.

Various ways to use tethered conductors or loops on satellites or spacecraft interacting with Earth's magnetic field or solar wind are a long discussed thing, of course no voodoo science being claimed or done there, the physics that mid 19th century scientists and engineers into electromagnetics would understand. Maybe this crank's device is exhibiting a similar effect though I'd expect it is small.

False, zionists first slaughtered over 600 unarmed villages before Israel born. IDF uses human shields, even children. Your kind of lies don't fly any more, the who world sees what Israel is.

Israel has more human rights condemnation resolutions than all other nations of the world combined.

And those residents you mention complain of discrimination and harassment, they are 2nd class citizens. Israel is a racist ultra-right state, white Ashenazi jews the preferred and master race

I wonder if running iPerf3 under WSL is better than using a version compiled with Cygwin libraries.

Not especially. iPerf3 is very performant and sensitive, which makes it a great tool for measuring network performance, but that also makes it sensitive to even small perturbations.

WSL2 is a virtual machine, so all network traffic goes through the virtual NAT system. WSL1 is technically a compatibility layer, but its recreating/emulating of Linux I/O typically comes at a pretty hefty performance hit.

USA just vetoed statehood in UN security council.

Why does Israel's murdering Palestinians in West Bank and stealing their houses and land, including giving settlers semioauto weapons for murder and IDF backing them up which is happening right now, and including kidnapping even of children for years for torture and abuse "behaving" but Palestinians reacting to that is "misbehaving"?

Seems you have a double standard

Comment We are a genocider's business! (Score -1, Offtopic) 260

Interesting that Israel was founded on a 19th century plan of ethnic cleansing, called "zionism"

Over 600 *unarmed* villages were slaughtered to found Israel. Back in the 1940s Einstein and a couple other dozen Jewish leaders wrote a warning letter to the New York Times about the evils of Zionism and gave example of one of their slaughters.

Since then, the ultra-right running Israel have done each and every atrocity of the German Nazis, the ethnic cleansing, chemical means of murder, kidnapping for murder and torture, stealing land by murder and displacement. The even have done one the Nazis didn't have the tech to do, murder for organ harvesting as reported by the New York Times, Israel is the global capitol of the illegal organ trade.

Then those ultra-right feed on sympathy for the horrors of the Holocaust but use it to justify their evils, and cry "antisemitism" and "blood slander" and try to equate Israel with Judaism when their evils pointed out. Nevertheless there are tens of thousands of righteous Jewish people in the USA that decry zionism, for example the Jewish Voice for Peace. Even in Israel's Knesset, there are a minority of members, not in the ultra-right parties, who say Israel has been doing ethnic cleansing for years, and that it is evil.

Israel gets support in USA from the systems of campaign contributions and bribes, compromise by operations like Epstein Island and similar, and the deranged type of Christian who is a "Christian Zionist" who believes they can hasten their glorious apocalypse and return of messiah by pandering and supporting Israel.

APAIC, formerly theAmerican Zionist Committee for Public Affairs (AZCPA), is the organ that works on the political and business leaders in USA. The former name says it all, rebranding needed for past evils hence new name.

Hamas was a political party founded from efforts of Netanyahu, last month in news he bragged about founding and founding it even to October 7 to keep Palestinian politics in disarray. Of course, before October 7 Israel was kidnapping Palestinians by the thousands over the years, even children, for murder, torture, sexual abuse and holding for years. Israel was expanding illegal settlements onto Palestinian lands, using murder and fake courts and force besides arming illegal settlers to kill and besides using IDF to support settlers atrocities.

It's about time everybody realize there's very little going on in the crypto industry that's not fraud and grift.

Here is a great documentary explaining why. It's a shame it isn't getting the attention it deserves, but I guess crypto companies are still prime advertisers in mainstream media and nobody wants to bite the hand that feeds.

a corporation that profits from enabling ethnic cleansing and genocide, as defined by UN and ICJ, might need attitude adjustment.

Reminder that Israel has more condemnation resolutions for human rights violations than all other nations on Earth combined.

Reminder Israel was founded by a 19th century cult movement that slaughtered over 600 unarmed villages. Einstein and other Jewish leaders sent a signed warning letter to the New York Times about the dangerous and genocidal Zionists.

Reminder Netanyahu a couple weeks ago bragged about helping found and then to fund Hamas, even up to Oct 7, to keep Palestinian politics in disarray. That worked out well, eh?

Reminder Israel bombed block after block of high rises, giving families inside no chance or place to flee, as reported by Doctors without Borders on the ground.

Reminder Israel bombed families fleeing on designated space routes, bombed them in designated safe spaces.

Reminder Israel has been bombing and shooting Christian Palestinians and churches, it's not an 'arab vs. muslim going on for centuries'

Reminder Israel immediately cut off water, food, fuel, comm to 2.3 million people, half of them children, which are war crimes.
