  • Windows Blue Screen of Death crisis: what we know so far

    Jump

  • Early reports suggest that cyber security firm CrowdStrike may be to blame by pushing out a security update for its product that features a bug.

    I hate Windows as much as the next Lemmy user but it takes 8 paragraphs before this gets clarified.

  • I’m against the death penalty,

    So you're dishonest. Got it.

  • Dark mode’s bright future: How dark mode will transform Wikipedia’s accessibility

  • Not a 3rd party thing. It has been a wiki setting opened up with login for a long time now. Maybe it had some tweaks needed that finally got completed?

  • it isn't a deterrent,

    It is cheaper to let them rot in prison for life,

    nobody wants to make the drugs involved for the 'humane way' so it is really difficult to obtain enough where it is used,

    it is fundamentally inhumane to kill someone that knows it's coming (mental torture),

    risk of executing an innocent, and as already stated

    it is hypocritical to kill someone for killing.

  • You're overlooking reproductive rights which should be a huge deal this election and imo gives Harris a bump ya'll aren't considering.

  • Amazingly, forests are still sucking up as much carbon as they were 30 years ago. But there’s a catch.

  • I didn't say it was perfectly identical. Ofc it isn't. Floor growth is almost all still there. It is good enough considering cutting is limited to specific locations only, and the alternative is to delete a primary industry.

  • Trump has a direct quote about people who get shot being losers as a dig at deceased veterans but somehow has a veteran who called him Hitler as a running mate. He is a convicted felon representing the Law and Order party and is endorsed by police unions.

    At this point American politics makes zero sense to me. I'm just holding my breathe and hoping defending our border won't be necessary in a year

  • This isn't as bad as it sounds. In a way it mimics the natural reset normal forest fires cause.

  • This is understated. I live in Canada and the pest danger is already severe. Every dead tree you see in the forests has the telltale squiggly track marks of the Emerald Ash Borer or other bark beetles. Out west is suffering record fires. Logging is the only category I'd be less concerned about here because they are required by law to replace what they harvest.

  • Kudos to the author for aptly describing it as slavery instead of using 'indentured servitude', 'mandatory employment', or some other milquetoast descriptor.

  • There's a huge difference. Hamas invaded Israel and intentionally slaughtered civilians and followed up by taking hostages whom they to this day refuse to release despite the 'horrors' being visited on their people. Israel is specifically going after Hamas and while being indifferent to the collateral damage. I'm absolutely certain the Israelis would prefer a clean fight for obvious unfair reasons but I have no illusions they will ever get that so here we are fundamentally agreeing to disagree.

    The (edit: the past) mistreatment of the Palestinians is a crime that I fully support ICC justice for. It should have been what all these people downvoting made the wedge issue LONG ago and their outrage poorly conceals their guilt to this end. Regardless, it does not justify terrorism and anyone that thinks it does is lost. I also think the UN should force the issue to both sides dissatisfaction so we can end this century+ of BS but I'm not holding my breathe.

  • Yeah, the thing is, it seems like it’s not “oh no, they’re using human shields, we can’t blow them up”, but more like “human shields? Oh well, load the bombs.”

    Finally, someone gets it.

    The atrocities commited by hamas in no way justify...

    This is where the disagreement truly lies and I'm sorry but you're wrong. Israel absolutely has the right to go after Hamas and the civilian casualties are Hamas' fault, not Israels. As you so eloquently put it, Israel is prioritizing the lives of its soldiers over those of the unfortunate, but almost certainly sympathetic or supportive, 'civilians'. The second Hamas surrenders and releases the hostages you have a point. Until then, you're supporting terrorist warcrimes by using genocide hyperbole instead of calling it the tragic intentional consequences of Hamas' strategy.
