Comment Re:Compact Camera (Score 2) 27

Indeed, the people complaining don't understand the niche this camera occupies.

Many photographers would probably want the a6700 or a7c if they need a fuller-featured camera.

This one is about being compact and simple. It occupies a similar slot as Leica's fixed-lens cameras, or for a less expensive variety, a Ricoh GR. You go with this camera when size is important, when you want to take a nice camera into a venue that doesn't allow interchangable lens cameras (concerts/etc.). Or, if you've got money to burn, simply having a nice sensor with a limiting feature set might aid creativity.

Mess with them: place triggering content on it like Tank Man, Taiwan-is-real-China meme, and Satanic Pooh Bear.

When they spot it just say, "It's a burner phone I bought on the street, I didn't put that on."

However, they'll still probably hold or harass you for a few days.

They won't hold or harass you. They'll simply say "Entry denied. Your flight home is at 2:00. Have a nice day." and your expensive vacation or business trip is now ended. Congratulations on the self-own.

Comment Re:500 word blurb without "losing money royalties" (Score 1) 203

Notice the number of re-masters coming out recently and how songs you play on streaming services from the 80s and 90s from big artists don't sound how you remember them? That's because the artists re-record them due to the copyright coming to an end making minor changes from the original so they can refresh the copyright to that song and continue to make royalties from it.

This is... utterly untrue.

Reperforming the song is not going to change the end date of the copyright of the work by a single day. The copyright term was fixed when it was created (if a corporate work) or when the author dies (typically 70 years from that date) for anything for the last half century or so.

As an example: Bohemian Rhapsody was written by Freddie Mercury who died in 1991. The copyright is going to expire in 2061 and no amount of re-recording will change that.

It's complete and utter BS. The 2 state solution has been proposed multiple times ( https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQ... ) , the Arabs are refusing it because it would de-escalate the conflict and would normalize the very *existence* of Israel, which is what they are denying (and you here as well, due to their very effective propaganda).

Also very very personally, I have 0 sympathy for anyone attacking Israel, so no love to anyone who attempts on lives of any Israelis, may they all burn in this life and any and all afterlives (which I don't believe in, I am a complete atheist).

To me, everyone who attacks Israel is barbaric and must be destroyed, how about that? There is no genocide of anyone in Gaza because it's not me, who is running Israel, does it work for you?

I am well aware of ruzzian/Israeli relationship. There are a couple of million ex-soviets living in Israel, I was one of them back in 1992, when I moved to Israel from Ukraine.

Israel is doing everything anyone could ever do to protect civilians from being killed in fire indiscriminately https://chatgpt.com/c/6876bd05... Sure, you can always say that more could be done, AFAIC they are way overdoing.

Have a horrible day.

Absolutely Israel is fighting for its survival. 7th of October shows that Israel must destroy all of its enemies that surround it. Hamas and others were supplied by Iran, which must be stopped from developing a nuclear bomb specifically because it would be much easier to just get that bomb into Israel through Gaza and blow it up in the middle of any city, most likely Tel Aviv or Haifa (they wouldn't do it in Jerusalem). Any 'civilian' within Gaza is suspect, that's where Hamas is recruiting from in the first place. I applaud Israel for making progress against Iran and now it must finish what needs to be finished all around it, especially Gaza.

Iran has policy of destroying Israel, it's their religious policy and policy of the State, so they are obviously interested in keeping all of the various local conflicts going for as long as it takes to destroy Israel. Israel is under a strategic threat, it's not just Gaza and Hamas, this was made clear when Iran started supplying Houthis with missiles. Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis under the guiding hand of Iran and with support from ruzzia. That's what Israel is fighting against. Just because you don't understand it doesn't change their equation and they must not and will not give up, they must destroy its enemies to survive.

The fact that the Western world has been brainwashed and is now so antisemitic and anti-Israel just shows how effective the propaganda pushed from Iran with the help of the ruzzian troll/bot farms became, that's a weapon that must be taken seriously. It was used to brainwash Americans into supporting putin and ganging up against Israel as well.

Israel is doing more than anyone to prevent casualties in their fighting, that's exactly why they develop and use extremely precise bombs and ammunition. Again, I wouldn't, but they care.

Israel is fighting for its survival.
Ukraine is fighting for its survival.
Both are attacked by terrorists.
Ukraine is attacked by a terrorist mafia state.
Israel is attacked by a terrorist religiously controlled state.

Their situation is different because Ukraine is a much bigger country in terms of land and people but Israel had much more time to prepare for this war obviously and it had support of the USA for a long time now.

Israel must win this to survive as a country.
Ukraine must win this to survive as a country.

Yes, I will absolutely give green light to Israel to protect itself against all enemies around it, all of who want to see Israel destroyed completely.

I will do the same exact for Ukraine.

Both countries are at war, protecting themselves against terrorists that are trying to destroy them.

As to the claim that Israel commits any war crimes, there are always some crimes at war, this is inevitable. Israel is the ONLY side in that conflict that actually actively works to prevent war crimes by having the most strict rules and protocols that are set up to ensure there are as few casualties as possible. That's why Israel uses the most advanced most precise ammunition to target its enemies instead of doing what I would have probably done, which is total annihilation of all enemies with the maximum force possible. That's my preferred approach. But Israel is not me, so they are extremely careful.

So are you saying he is supposed to be responsible for everyone's welfare because he has the ability to pay quite a bit? Are you this generous with your own money as well, or only with the money of people that you don't like, because they have so much more of it than you will ever have?
