  • I did notice the same title since they were near each other on my front page. But it does look like you’re posting this uncritically, even with the context. It looks less like you’re showing us something relevant but tasteless to gawk at the state of mainstream online “content” and more like you want to laugh at “annoying fat bitches maaaaan” (who are actually doing their friend a favor seeing what the OOP is going for).

    Childish misogyny is endemic on most online platforms now, none of us here want to see this shit. It’s not people being dumb.

  • I’ve posted bad memes in comments I don’t like before to provide context.

    You could have gone with something like “oh this is much better than the rancid original: rancidoriginal.png”

  • I missed the part where I said anything about innocent puppies? Or the part where I said I’m cool with the way they have shifted internal and foreign policy in a way that’s made Lebanon a worse place to live and a quasi pariah state? Or the part where I said I’ve never been harassed by their goons for my own political activism against their regressive political agendas? How many times has a group of their guys knocked on your door at 3 am to tell you not to do anything they deem stupid, how many times has your electric service been cut because your power baron got a phone call from them?

    This doesn’t mean I want people randomly finding out they’re human bombs while they’re sitting around in their homes and in public places. My comment was to point out how barbaric that pager attack was because westerners especially seem to be completely throw their humanity out the window when they see who the intended target is. I feel strongly against the intended target more than you even could think you could. But they are also the only thing in Lebanon that was capable of fighting a just war. They’ve been a political obstacle to important change and they’ve personally intimidated me, but they also liberated my hometown. I still have a hometown, it still has a real name, it wasn’t razed and turned into “Kiryat Deathtoarabs”, because of them. Put yourself in my place for a second.

    I’ve used this example on Lemmy before: Imagine the worst gang in your city suddenly having its members turn into bombs. Hell, imagine it completely succeeds in hitting every single gang member. They explode suddenly on buses and in subways, in restaurants, in secret gang hideouts, and while they’re picking up their children from school. The same school your kids go to. The streets are covered in legs and blood. The hospitals are full injured bystanders. Why would anybody be upset? The gang is over, everything is perfect now!

    Not even I would want something this to happen to let’s say the Knesset or the IDF or whatever. The Hague exists for a reason, even if it’s been made a farce in the past two years. We know the crimes, we don’t need underhanded methods. We know the crimes. Apply international law to the entity you claim is a country.

    What Israel is doing to Palestinians is criminal. Benjamin Netanyahu and his government should be in The Hague right now.

    The reason I’m trying to explain to you is that I know you’re not some genocide lover who is not worth the effort to discuss things with. I hope it was worth the effort to write up.

  • I can’t put into words how horrible that week was. Everyone was suddenly expecting their phones, laptops, solar inverters, and even newer cars to spontaneously kill them. These things exploded out on the street, in buses, in restaurants. Even if you’ve been told all of your life these people are terrorists (and that is something I’ve definitely been told more than you have), this attack is a genuine innovation in terrorism. Utter chaos, and a complete lockdown of our weak medical infrastructure.

    The doctors were pulling shards of glass out of and had to amputate children’s eyeballs. For the crime of sitting in the wrong bus at the wrong time. I don’t care even if they were sharing a bus with Satan.

    Any other terrorist organization besides Israel does this and it’s a historic crime, but when Israel innovates new ways to utterly terrorize Lebanese and Palestinian people, it’s a fucking party. Golden fucking pagers.

  • I think that’s a Y510p. This was the machine that made me think Lenovo knew what they were doing and were the true successors to IBM, for laptops at least.

    This machine was released right before the gaming laptop age really kicked off, so its paltry GT750(M! Sometimes two of them) was about as good as it got outside of a sketchy DTR from a company you’ve never heard of. Only a few years later did the standard go way up for gaming laptop performance, with everyone and their dog getting an Nvidia 1050/1060/1070 machine.

    But I really liked the Y500/Y510. Serious design that made it look like a thick business laptop with polished black surfaces and cool red key edges vs gaudy RGB sludge with LOOK AT ME I AM EPICLY GAMERING all over it. I kind of wish they kept this design style.

    Oh well. Tongfang has my back now.

  • A wasteland of rubble, dust and graves: how Gaza looks from the sky

    Jump

  • doesnt look so bad

    Everyone knows having less than 30% of the open air prison you call home be tuned into an unlivable scorched hell is perfectly normal. Decadent luxury even. Most of the population isn’t even getting shot within seconds of going outside! Having fun in the sun in Khan Yunis and Rafah, who needs the north? We truly did it Rddit!

    With all the doom posting going on here you would have thought Gaza had been turned into rubble.

    You’ve really pulled the scales from my eyes, you have given me perspective I’ve desperately lacked. I now understand that I should shut up about it until the entire population of Gaza is fertilizing the ashes of their home, and only then will feeling anything other than ironic detachment be valid, even as part of my own country is currently occupied by the IDF with increasingly unrealistic demands being asked for them to withdraw.

    Thanks bro! Really showing us all how much better Lemmy users are than Rdditors. I’ve got IDF MK drones buzzing outside reminding me of who has the arbitrary power of life and death over me, but it’s not the drones, it’s comments like yours that scare me. Jesus fucking Christ.

  • Obscure torrent: What seems like only seeder only connects for about a second, updating my "last seen complete" every 5 minutes or so, without transferring any substantial data. Thoughts?

    Jump

  • So, there are other peers, some of which gave me all of the data that I have so far, a small number of them. They can connect just fine to me, so their ports are open.

    There are other peers with only a small percentage of the total torrent that are permanently connected, which might mean that they only wanted to download some of the files, but looking at the file list availability when they were the only connected peers, they had scattered chunks of data and not one continuous folder.

    Now the convoluted part that I feel needs its own post:

    In my quest to get the data, I’ve done some digging on BTdig, and added a few torrents with what seemed to be almost identical content. Most of these were completely inactive, but it seems like my client figured out that there’s overlap with this torrent, somehow. It now shows one of these inactive torrents as having a small % completion, despite also showing that 0 bytes were downloaded. I suspect it was able to match some of the data.

    I wish I better understood that part of torrenting, a lot of what I want is relatively obscure and I love nothing more than seeding files that took months to complete. Being able to stitch together torrents and make rarities a bit less rare is exactly what I want to do.

  • The interesting thing is that the flags that show during these brief connections show the peer is from DHT/PeX, not from the dozen general purpose trackers I slapped on there. If I got this from a public tracker, I’d think your explanation was the best one, but this makes it more mysterious.

  • Valve just gave Steam Deck owners a new way to organize and customize their game library

  • I’ve actually always wanted to be able to override the game’s sorting name to have things grouped together. Or worse, some games are listed out of order because of some unfortunately placed ™ symbol.

  • As of two months ago, Physics Girl is getting better again from long covid

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, just referring to Covid still acts like an activation phrase for some people, sending them into a locust frenzy and shutting off their critical thinking or empathy.

    You can’t get a word in edgewise that one of the reasons Covid is so bad for you is that it fucks with your immune system in a way that wasn’t expected of similar diseases and can have horrible combined effects with other pre-existing diseases. No, you must be insisting that someone got a coma from what basically felt like the common cold to them, and you must be a gullible moron.

    Lemmy is growing, and like any large enough user base, you will get these people.

    Also, good on you for posting this, I didn’t know there were any updates over the past year.

  • We are all asking the same question

  • You’re telling me this woman born in 1868 hillbilly country didn’t get married in such a short wedding dress?

    Edit: the length isn’t absurd but this is not a traditional dress, not what I’d expect from a century and a half ago. The way these fake images show four “normal” legs should also be a red flag, there’s no way the four of them could grow to look like typical legs, legs are mostly muscle and that means her body’s biomechanics would seriously restrict their ability to grow to look like typical legs.

    Edit 2:

    She died in Cleburne, Texas, on May 6, 1928. Her casket was covered in concrete and various family members kept watch until it was fully cured. This was to prevent grave robbers from stealing her corpse. Several medical practitioners and private collectors offered financial compensation for her corpse.

    People fucking suck.

  • What Gasoline is called around the World

    Jump

  • To be completely fair, the diesel we get here is usually not of a grade that would make it legal in places like the US. I do wonder why a different name stuck here, I think that’s much more interesting than “benzeen” for gasoline

  • What Gasoline is called around the World

    Jump

  • We call diesel “Mazut” which is usually the name of a heavy dirty fuel oil, I just found out. More digging needed.

  • Huh. That’s how it kind of is in Arabic.

    I never put it together that what we call “Naft/Nuft” (نَفط) is related to Naphtha. Fuel is “Benzeen” (بنزين).

  • I saw this news and I guess it’s good that privacy is being discussed somewhat soberly over there in the wake of this investment decision.

    Personally I have recently been exiting out of the UK, a much more invasive country, so Switzerland for now does seem like an improvement for me. Norway is further out geographically and has less Mullvad servers, would seem like the less favorable option for me unless the proposed laws actually pass.

    Frankly I’m scrambling after the UK’s ID thing.

  • Everything I learn about this project is so cool. I can’t go through the docs right now, but I’m assuming it can prioritize things like emergency communication over sensor data.

    There’s no public nodes in a 200+ km radius around me on that site someone linked, so something tells me I’ll have to do a lot of guerilla solar panel installation if I want to anonymously set up something.

    I’ve thought about it on and off over the past two years, more of a private network for family and friends than anything, for emergencies and so on. The real, big problem is that I could be accused of espionage and thrown into jail forever if I do this. So I don’t think I’ll see anyone putting any nodes up for the foreseeable future. At least not public nodes.
