2012!?

Holy Smokes!

I thought I was late by 2005.

And I am sure there are people who are absolutely convinced I’m antisemitic (a term that gets thrown around way too often and has no relation to the actual true meaning of the term “Semite”). Personally, I don’t care for anyone’s primitive monotheistic religious beliefs, Jewish or otherwise.

Zelenskyy, in my opinion, is an American imperialist tool just like Netanyahu. Could you imagine America’s response if the ball was on the other foot and unfriendly powers were encroaching on their borders? There’s a reason that Ukraine isn’t in NATO already. It’s a fragile democracy at best and corrupt to the core at worst.

As for the IDF, I’d be interested to find out the percentage of Jews to non-Jews that serve, but given that 65% of the Jewish Israeli population oppose the criminal prosecution of soldiers suspected of gang-raping Palestinian prisoners held in torture facilities, I’m guessing the percentage is high.

I didn’t say they were. I merely asked the question… which I knew the answer to already.

Sure, not all Jews hate and kill Palestinians, but Palestinians are hated and killed by Jews.

Zelenskyy’s Jewish, right?

He’s also just been muted by the moderators. If you look at his profile, he’s only been on Lemmy for 9 hours. Probably a bot or ex-Xitter troll.

I miss all the crashes, the blue screen of death, the automatic updates that reconfigure all the personal changes you made to try make Windows work better, and all the hunting around for cracked proprietary software.

According to this site there has been an increase although I’m not sure how they get their figures in a war zone that nobody is allowed in or out of (other than the IDF stormtroopers that is):

That said, populations do generally increase wherever there’s starvation and hardship. It’s a human instinct to survive by producing more offspring.

The figures of those murdered by Israel is probably closer to 200,000 but we won’t know until the dust settles and Netanyahu is rightfully hanging by the neck for warcrimes.

Probably just a bot.

Must be all the settler building contractors moving in to divvy up the land for beachfront accomodation. One thing’s for sure, the population of Israel keeps increasing because every yahoo with a yamaka wearing grandad gets instant citizenship.

What the fuck is antisemitic about arresting a genocidal maniac? “Liberal Democractic Nation” is not how I would describe that settler colonial fascist state. A bunch of fucking smug, self-righteous, land thieves is a more appropriate description. Besides, the term “Semitic” to describe Jews in Israel is inappropriate. Most of them are of European or American origin. Semitic people or Semites is a term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group associated with people of the Middle East, including Arabs, Jews, Akkadians, and Phoenicians. Judaism is not a race, it’s a religion (i.e. a cult, or more appropriately a “death cult”).

Like already mentioned here, back up first. I use a tool called Foxclone for hard drive image backups. Many would recommend Clonezilla, but I can vouch for Foxclone as I know it works from personal experience and the interface is really intuitive.

If you installed your Linux distro to dual boot alongside an existing Windows machine, you might need to move the Linux partitions after deleting Windows in order to resize the Linux partitions. This is something that can be done later once you know everything is working okay.

That’s an expensive way to sway an election. If that’s the case, critical thinking abilities of the average Xitter user is pretty fucking low. Breaking News: Shepherd Herds Sheep.

Elon’s lost the plot. It’s a joy to watch.

Correct. The problem could be solved overnight if manufacturers were heavily fined for producing such excessive and unnecessary packaging in the first place. Instead however, here in the UK, it’s the “consumer” who is expected to act like a dancing monkey and sort out all the waste into different categories and dispense the stuff in one of the wheelie bins that keep getting delivered to my door (wheelie bins which are ironically made from plastic). Makes me want to smash up the wheelie bins and dump them in the plastic recycling wheelie bin.

Underpants are technolgy.

RCS? That’ll be the protocol that’s handled by Google, which meant for me that it had to go. Stick with SMS/MMS and use Signal for text communication over the internet. Whilst you’re at it, replace all the Google apps with the Fossify alternatives. Fuck Google and fuck Apple.

It’s hard to know what the right move is in this post-truth world as we all have our biases and legitimate reasons for thinking the way that we do. I remember around the turn of the millennium thinking that the rise of the internet would herald in an new era of enlightenment where access to information would increase the intelligence of literally everyone. Boy, was I wrong. Turns out the Information Age should have been called the Disinformation Age.

I think the rise of Trump is a reaction to a broken system that has become too corrupt and too big to sustain itself. It might not be all bad in the long term, but right now it feels like the world is falling apart. If you look at all systems (particularly biological) they tend to eventually decentralise to function more effectively. The lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, stomach all function independently from each other yet work together to benefit the whole, trading off excess resources for things that they lack yet need. Evolution created this system from what was a primordial soup of waring organisms, viruses, cells, bacteria, etc. Perhaps humanity is on the cusp of that transition into a more coherent functioning planetary system. Countries should use the resources they have and trade the excess for things that they don’t have but need, much like the organs in the body do. Perhaps America needs to decentralise and has gotten too big to function effectively. I don’t know, but these are the kind of things I think about now and again.

There’s a lot about the way the world works that makes little sense so something has got to change. Take a simple example like prawns caught off the west coast of Scotland. How can it be more efficient to send them to China to get packaged before returning again to be consumed? Utter madness! But that’s the centralised system of exploitation. It’s cheaper, but neither effective nor healthy.

Take the banking crisis where money was thrown at the banks to bail them out. What a dumb idea that achieved absolutely nothing. It was like sticking a band aid on a gunshot wound. It stopped the bleeding for a while, but didn’t fix the problem. Then you look at Iceland who did the complete opposite to everyone else and let their banks fail. The bankers ended up in jail like they rightly should have done and now their economy is booming.

I don’t know where I’m going with all this, I kind of fell down a rabbit hole of hoping that there’s a light at the end of the dark tunnel we all seemingly find ourselves in.
