  • Not bad because of that but many of the donations going to isreal fits some larger patterns i have picked up on since i started to pay attention to the gaza war.

    It started with realizing how involved aipac is in a us election cycle. The “about us” information does not mask things

    “WE STAND with those who stand with Israel. The AIPAC PAC is a bipartisan, pro-Israel political action committee. It is the largest pro-Israel PAC in America and contributed more resources directly to candidates than any other PAC. 98% of AIPAC-backed candidates won their general election races in 2022.”

    Somehow that’s not foreign interference.

    Then i became aware of how all the major tech companies have additional offices in “Silicon Wadi” Which is some kind of clone of Silicon Valley owner by Isreal.

    But add one very major nuance. My issue is with the Isreal state and corporations that reside their, the global organized entities. It is not with its people or the Jewish religion. I am somewhat fascinated by the origin of Abrahamic religion and them being the oldest makes them a truly fascinated culture to learn from.

    Something i recently learned:

    Your live usb does not need to be the same distro as your main. (And in retrospect that makes total sense but i never realized)

    My arch install broke and could not get timeshift to roll back using the arch live usb. But a ubuntu-desktop live usb worked flawlessly.


  • My workplace configures edge and chrome by default, were very office365 integrated and support chrome for some dates specific thing.

    Now i am privileged with local admin powers so i have firefox. Still the integrations with edge run deep so i still have to use it lots of times. There are plans for copilot which is one of the dummest llm bots (opinion) but is again catered to edge.

    I will however never use chrome (anymore). Google was the second tech giant i dropped after facebook. They cannot redeem themselves for destroying the web (opinion). I rarely use search engines anymore but i rather use bing and bing sucks. (duckduck is also based on bing)

    Sorry for the rant, but that was relieving. Arch btw.


  • So now only criminals will be able to steal peoples cars. Well done.

    They wont even be banned (which would be stupid) Its on the owner to proof they have it for legitimate reasons. The end result will mean the devices will be more hidden in everyday seeming devices. And if they do eventually ban them fully that legal local technological knowledge will be dragging behind criminal innovation.

    You want these devices out there to increase awareness of their existence and to pressure manufacturer to make their devices more safe.

    Example: Remember how Tesla can remote (un)lock cars? Exploit waiting to happen and the potential ban on encryption is going to make it so much worse.

    Ostrich politics.


  • Never considered this in all honesty.

    Does a lower egg demand really lower the chance of a deadly pandemic?

    The way i understand it famers will continue try to maximize their chicken populations because capitalism. Especially in time of scarcity everyone dreams of being the biggest supplier.

    I reason there would be a technical solution in a full on chicken genocide. They can’t spread disease if they are already dead. This would result in no eggs for anyone. But animal welfare advocates may want a word with you.

    But even from an animal welfare pov, the way chickens are housed is completely inhumane and the end of this industry would be a net positive and spearhead the availability of much more ethically labproduced chicken.

    Nuanced genocide??

    This is a very interesting (though messed up) line of thinking. Can you elaborate what you ment specifically?
