The "animals" as you describe them, had the chance in 1948 to accept the two-state solution offered by the British Mandate.

They refused it, quite explicitly because their leadership believed they (with the assistance of adjacent Arab states) had the ability genocide the Jewish populations of the region. Subsequently they, or their paymasters in Tehran, haven't hidden even slightly that their goal isn't coexistence, it's extermination.

They said, in effect, "No thank you, we don't want to share this land, we would rather kill them all".
And they're still not kidding; since 1994 the total international contributions to the Palestinians has been >$40bn. Did they build power plants? Water desalination? Ports? Infrastructure? Nope. They used it for terrorist-hiding tunnels, weapons, and rockets.

I agree, the reaction IS worse than the unprovoked attack. This is how punishment and conditioning works. https://intersol.ca/news/organ... Even in 'enlightened' systems, if someone shoplifts a $100 shirt, we don't simply take $100 from them as a 'commensurate' punishment. We put them in jail.*

*ok I realize the concept of jailing shoplifters in 2026 is hilariously outdated; we don't do this any more unless they're white or asian or hispanic, and even then it's rarely done. I submit the societal consequences as further proof of the point.

Aside from them being convincing, I'm interested in hearing what fact asserted there is wrong.

Amusingly, those guys you DISMISS are agreeing with you, you sanctimonious cunt. The article from way back in 1958 explains how the AMOC very specifically is overturned, and the colossal climate consequences.

If only we held the same strict standard to the people casually ransacking retail stores in urban areas.

Nevertheless, the US still has the highest percentage of successful missions to Mars, compared to organizations and countries with all-metric programs.

Funny, that.

... But I would willingly suffer brain rot instead of being locked in with "...more than a dozen millennials gathered in a brownstone apartment in Brooklyn ... For two hours of reading, drawing and conversation."

Purchasing a 2017 car in 2023, from Carvana.
Great car, good deal.

I know the original owners address, where he worked, the places he frequented, his kids house, etc, etc.
All stored in the nav memory.

No GPS logs, just the places he purposely stored.


People...purge your stuff before selling!

Or, it's something that's happened cyclically for eons.

These guys in 1958 are vastly more convincing than modern climatologists

Paleoclimate shows clear pulses of warming about every 120k-140k years followed by cooling 30+ times in the last 5 million years. The last... About that many years ago.
Per the wiki on the subject: "... It has been observed that ice ages deepen by progressive steps, but the recovery to interglacial conditions occurs in one big step..."
Wait long enough, and being present when it happens is inevitable.

The idea that we are doomed as a species is laughably pessimistic.

Arguably, it's the "news' which got us into this quagmire in the first place.

I can't possibly imagine why anyone would ascribe their "truth" from organizations which have consistently and intentionally lied to the American public. Hubris, I suppose.

I realize you're likely approaching retirement age based on your low slashdot ID (as am I), but the world has not only changed - it's made it apparent that the world we grew up in didn't even exist.

Perhaps you should look into the involvement of various intelligence agencies (CIA, Mossad) in the control and manipulation of various esteemed "institutions of truth" like the New York Times, as it relates to things which were obviously false. Or how many of our vanguard institutions were largely subverted by communist interests.

Babies in incubators, remember that one? How about WMDs in Iraq? Jayson Blair scandal is also notable - and let's not forget the complete fabrication which was Russiagate, paraded by media for months without so much as a verification of fact (which, if had they done it with honesty, would've made the whole thing fall apart). We could go way back, to how they (the NYT) suppressed news of the Soviets were in fact not starving their peasants in the 1920s and 1930s so that we would go to war, or we could dial it forward and the 2020s when the media provided years of cover for the "Chinese biolab" genesis of COVID-19 (which has since been acknowledged). We could also most certainly include the official Charlie Kirk narrative, which the media continues to parrot (when it's mentioned at all), and which has been scientifically confirmed as impossible by numerous forensic investigators (largely based on audio recording).

This is just the NYT, mind you - the broader media establishment is just as culpable. Establishment media has long shied away from truthful reporting, instead pushing sensationalism and ideological alignment.

Online news allows people who care about truth to get ahead of these narratives and see them for what they are, or at the very least consider alternative possibilities, before the lies catapult us into wars and ideological witch hunts.

I suppose you still think Oswald was the lone gunman, too, huh?

I think you have your administrations confused.

Sept 2023: Biden administration hands $6bn to Iran. And authorized them to access up to another $10bn frozen assets.

Oct 7 2023, in what was a coincidence(?) Hamas - a directly-funded and -trained proxy for Iran, launches an unprovoked murderous attack on Israel.

"Otherwise IPv6 is not in any meaningful way different, better or worse than IPv4."

Tell that to the tech who can't read hex or the guy trying to find a network range in logs using sed/grep on an 80x30 crash cart terminal in a DC, because something broke at 1am.

It is wholly unsuitable to straight up replace IPv4 for these reasons: it isn't a human-accessible protocol.

That's what I meant by "which IPv6?" SLAAC, RAs, DHCPv6, authoritative DNS AAAA with reverse are all basic table stakes to make it useful, which already grossly exceed what small IPv4 business networks have for v4, and there's still another dozen services required to get full interoperability with v4.

And you're forgetting that IPv6 was never intended to run dual stack with v4, that was a hackish afterthought which didn't work for half a damn for over a decade, because v6 wasn't backwards compatible. Needing to deploy v6 to "maintain a global network of peers" is only necessary if IPv6 exists; it serves only the purpose of sustaining itself.

If AMD and Intel were smart, they'd get together with IBM and figure out how to get out of that abusive relationship.

It would likely involve a skunkworks effort to "fix" open source Linux to be a useable desktop. Close it up a bit and then start ripping things out from the top to bottom, then release it as their own thing. LLMs make this much more tenable now than it would've in years past. No reason they couldn't keep the license the same, either.

In a world where "rewrite libreoffice to not be shit" is a tenable project for a small team and individuals are effectively reverse engineering and porting old Windows games to MacOS Apple Silicon in a weekend, I don't see why this couldn't be done. It just requires the intention, these companies have the money to do it.

There's one exceptional gem in the Celeron lineup: the 300A.

You could trivially overclock it about 33% with a FSB kick up from 66MHz to 100MHz, and the CPU had L2 cache (which as you probably recall, basically didn't exist otherwise on Celeron).

They were all just under binned chips, and that 33% was the baseline conservative overclock. It wasn't uncommon to push them past 500MHz with a good cooler. It was the era of peltiers and water blocks starting to take off.

Your mental modality is wired to Windows.

You can get tiling with a 3rd party app, Magnet. It works unobtrusively and I forget it's not native.

There are also Spaces, which is effectively a virtual desktop. It works pretty well. There are numerous tools which make it better (up to full tiling window manager with yabai).

Not sure why you'd complain about the 'out of the box' experience on a desktop OS anymore when there are so many third party options to make it better - particularly when your preference OS is horrible out of the gate on the things which really matter, like stability, memory use, management, and security.

If that were true Antifa riots wouldn't be a thing.
