  • Facebook and Instagram Restrict the Use of the Red Triangle Emoji Over Hamas Association

  • What is this even in reference to? Do you care to elaborate on the propaganda you're trying to spew, or are you just expecting me to know the same talking points as you?

  • Now I might just be too stupid to understand what I'm displaying, but last I checked, the red triangle has been a symbol of pro-Palestinian support since the Palestinian Revolt in uhhhh... 1938. It's possible Hamas might have co-opted it, but then you might as well ban the Palestinian flag as well since that's the source of the triangle, and it has also existed since 1917, I'm failing to follow how this is a symbol of Hamas

  • I don't understand why underbaked borderline raw cookies are such a popular trend.

    Jump

  • This is specifically talking about stores like crumbl cookies I think (appears to be what the cookie in the picture is). Very fancy, quite overpriced, pretty tasty, but kinda doughy in the center IMO.

  • The US finally takes aim at truck bloat

    Jump

  • It's a rhetorical device :) I'm more than happy to agree that no-one really needs anything much larger than a kei truck.

  • The US finally takes aim at truck bloat

    Jump

  • Well... Back when a truck wasnt $60+k... Yes thats exactly what people did. They had a truck that guzzled gas and provided the bed space or towing capacity they needed for work, and a daily driver for other things.

    From the last time I saw this 'debate'... ~30% of truck owners use the bed once a year or less, ~75% of owners tow once a year or less, and ~70% go offroad once a year or less.

    Now, obviously there are applications where a truck is needed. That can't be denied... But there are so many applications here that use massive fucking trucks where another country would use a sprinter van or similar vehicle for the exact same application.

  • I totally understand where you're coming from. It's absolutely not uncommon to casually refer to high-rank NCOs as Officers (in Canada at least)

  • Don't believe or don't care. Workers are less likely to collectivize if they spend 80% of their time under the supervision of someone who's paid to stop any discussion of that kind.

  • I absolute agree with you that that is how employers are viewing it and I agree with your disagreement with people in the industry that suggest the solution is ten hour days for blue collar workers.

    (One of) The problem(s) behind this is that the capital class seemingly does not care what the evidence shows, and are only interested in what feels more productive. To them, it feels more productive to have fewer workers, for longer hours, with less safety measures, and because they feel it's more efficient, that means it must be (because it costs more "less"). Until we change that, or sufficiently collectivize to force them to change, it's gonna be hard to move the needle.

  • I mean, a four day work week still benefits blue collar jobs, though it's understandably more difficult to implement this in a some blue collar workspaces, and I dont claim to have the answer for how to do it by any means.

    Factories would benefit from seven day work weeks, more time producing not less.

    Factories benefit from higher efficiency, and less downtime, which can be achieved with more employees, working less, being less tired, more satisfied with their pay and benefits, and having fewer accidents which interrupt production.

    It can be done, but other systems also need changing to help it along.

  • Well... "They're all" is kinda rhetorical shorthand, but the vast, vast majority of Israeli citizens are colonizers definitionally, just like how "all" north Americans are colonizers (obviously except indigenous people). The difference is that the USA/Canadian settler colonial projects have already """succeeded""".

  • The stuff I see on social media makes me angry, and Kamala is not a perfect candidate

    Jump

  • I understand why you and many other people are extremely reluctant to vote/against voting in this election. But I feel your analogy is incorrect.

    By not voting for the douche bloodthirsty democrat you are supporting the turd sandwich fascist and (more) bloodthirsty republican, in the same way that not pulling the lever is supporting the death of more people on the train tracks.

    Not buying diesel/gas car =/= inherent passive support for electric in any way, but in a two party system, in an election like this one, not voting, or not voting democrat directly increases pedestrian train deaths the odds of america falling to a fascist party with a plan. You can vote * and still protest, petition, and riot against the policies you dont like.

  • A much better national motto

    Jump

  • I mean, the broader thread has been talking about the philosophy and such included in the Jefferson bible. Seems pretty reasonable to put a note on a link to the thing just for the edification of anyone that checks it out.

    Its more akin to being adjacent to a conversation about the history of the autobahn, and being the one to say "so for anyone who's not aware, the autobahn was largely built by the Nazis"

    It wasn't an attack on you, just context for those who weren't aware.

    Jump

  • What a terribly bad faith interpretation of their comment. Theyre making the point that while it's neat that Jefferson de-religioned the bible, and left the philosophy, Jefferson himself wasn't exactly an ethical paragon and that should be remembered. It wasn't an attack against you.

  • A. Care to provide any evidence for your "gender is a mental disorder" point? Even a little?

    B. No one actually cuts a penis off, just FYI

    C. Its not uncommom for Cis teenage girls get breast reduction surgery, or even implants. Do you have issue with this? Or do you only have an issue when it's trans men getting a mastectomy?

    D. Why you gotta be weird dude? I guarantee you've interacted with at least a handful of trans people in your life and were genuinely clueless about it. (I'm pre-empting the "we can always tell")

  • I'd like to jump in and ask a genuine counter question:

    • What do you believe is the cause of Hamas' existence?

  • Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines

    Jump

  • Yes and at the end of the day it's all just binary getting dumped into a cache and processed by the CPU. The point is that the intent of the file matters and while they do both hold text, the intent, purpose, and handling of the kernel mode/ring 0 driver is much different than a "simple text file"

    So different in fact, that as another user pointed out, it has happened to Linux too

  • Calling a kernel mode driver a "simple text file" sure is interesting

  • Not to jump at you in another comment thread, but any OS that is deployed in a business environment should have some form of endpoint protection installed unless it is fully airgapped + isolated.

    Despite the myth that "Linux doesn't get malware", it absolutely does and should have protection installed. Even if the OS itself was immune to infection, any possible update can introduce a vulnerability to that.

    Additionally, again, even if the OS (or kernel in the case of linux) couldn't be infected or attacked, the packages or services installed can be attacked, infected, or otherwise messed with and should be protected.
