31·9 months agoOk do you understand what an analogue is?
Perhaps Lemmy needs a “translate to simple English feature for you”
It’s an apt comparison, there aren’t many examples so on the nose about deliberately destabilizing secular groups and Islamist groups filling the power vacuum, only to become a more violent threat.
If you want you could compare it to the allied powers starving the Spanish Republic of resources, enabling the rise of the Nazis, but it’s a bit of a stretch.
Also Hamas was empowered by the Israeli state by the distruction of secular opposition.
Not disimilar to how the US armed the Taliban & created a power vacuum for them to fill
You ever wonder what it would be like if you had self-esteem & were proud of your values instead of complaining about others having virtues?

As does confining millions to an open air prison
As does Israel creating Hamas
As does the current Israeli government ignoring intelligence reports because they wanted this to happen.
If Israel don’t like Hamas they shouldn’t have created them
flatpaks are all updated at once, just like distro packages, so yeah you might need to commands, but that’s still very different to having each application update itself (and the security hell implied by that)
Also I think pkcon can manage your updates across various backends (unless you are on Arch, where I think there are both technical & ideological objections to having a simple tool that just works)
3·1 year agoIt could even tell me what 1312 means, after I told it it was a number substitution cypher
But the only thing it’s actually good at is generating languages, if they try and pretend to know stuff in fields, they’re quickly exposed as frauds.
Nah GPT makes it a lot easier, it’s the thing it’s actually good at.
Before they were autogenerated with bad English, GPT can generate good English that is equally devoid of content
5·1 year agoI suspect his “logic” is that most users only read & do not interact or post (IIRC the general rule for socials is 90/9/1), so in addition to whatever technical reason, he thinks this is a genius way to get more subscribers.
Fucking genius move, so glad he’s fired everyone who would disagree.
today poverty is the root of the entire problem.

Ignorance is bliss, but it’s pretty hard to take anybody claiming to care about poverty seriously when your analysis of reality runs counter to obvious truths.
If Hawaii wasn’t part of America and thus the rights of rich white people override the rights of locals, that might be true.
But Hawaii IS part of the US so it’s not.
LMAO “we solved racism cuz Obama”
The US is still a white supremacists nation where white lives are placed above non-black lives, you can bury your head in the sand but systemic racism is very much real.
You can pretend you care about class, but if you’re analysis of the material conditions ignore the fundamental structure of the US, you’re not helping anyone.
Our entire society is plain wrong, doing things to address those injustices is good actually.
P.s you can’t be “racist” against white people, in a white supremacists nation.
Funny how we addressed the tool that helped black kids first, rather than the one that hurt them.
Maybe it’s because this is being pushed by bad people, that you seem to agree with under some fantasy of “100% merit based” reality.
Systemic biases exist, AA compensated for them banking AA is basically pretending this nation isn’t racist AF.
Without AA, racism in admissions is illegal.
No positive measure to counteract systemic biases are illegal.
Hereditary admissions when 80% of previous students were not black, is pretty explicitly racist and still very much legal
All the implicit systemic biases in the admission system are very much legal
The only thing you can’t do is ensure black kids get admitted.
If you have a system and you know its giving you biases results you can compensate for the bias, without understanding every single component bias, that’s what AA was, banning it, is sticking your head in the sand and going back to faux/real Naïvity about how system racism works.
We might as well start asking “why do black people prefer renting?”, because as a nation we are commited to pretending to not understand that there are systemic reasons for things.
Sure buddy, and if you’re too stupid to get into any college you might believe both those have the same chance of happen 🤣
This is why nobody use conscripts, imagine an army that is all cops.
