  • ‘Deluded’ Hamas made a ‘catastrophic miscalculation’, say Palestinian analysts

  • It's no covert secret that Russia benefits from chaos in Israel/Gaza. Russia is 100% amplifying the coverage of the conflict to their benefit.

  • House Passes Bill to Force TikTok Sale From Chinese Owner or Ban the App

  • I never said the bill was perfect. It is a good first step. Ideally all social media should be held accountable, but they are the ones who make political donations, so the chances of major overhaul are not all that great.

    They want to ban Chinese ownership of the company because it's politically popular, but it does also have merit. China can and will exert it's influence to it's advantage.

    Tiktok might be a good service right now (...debatable) but it's threat comes from being able to push China's authoritarian agenda.

    And insults have no place in reasonable discussion. Who's mind are you going to change by calling them insane?

  • The ban is a good thing because China is an autocracy. Freedom of thought is not acceptable there, otherwise you wouldn't know what I mean when I say the great firewall of China. Their influence is already vast.

    The US isn't a beacon of democracy, but the distance between a flawed democracy and an authoritarian regime is massive. The US Congress is largely ineffective, but this is one thing they've gotten right.

    TikTok, the popular Chinese-owned social network, instructs its moderators to censor videos that mention Tiananmen Square, Tibetan independence, or the banned religious group Falun Gong, according to leaked documents detailing the site’s moderation guidelines.

  • I believe they do use just as much RAM as current tabs, it's just computers are better at handling it now.

    Mozilla makes reference to them eating RAM, but I'm not 100% sure.

    Use fewer tabs

    Each tab requires Firefox to store a web page in memory. If you frequently have more than 100 tabs open, consider using a more lightweight mechanism to keep track of pages to read and things to do, such as:

    Bookmarks. Hint: "Bookmark All Tabs" will bookmark a set of tabs. Save web pages for later with Pocket for Firefox. To-do list applications.

  • This is a good thing, but just as a pet peave - why do people keep so many tabs open on desktop web browsers? Every new tab uses more memory. Computers were not designed to have 100s of tabs open. There is no way anyone actually actively uses 100 tabs, and I see people all the time with so many tabs you can hardly even see what is there. There is a thing called bookmarks and folders for storing commonly visited sites on a computers hard disk rather than temporary RAM...

    But I do think it is good firefox is adding the capability, as grouping can be useful if done right in moderation. But it's just kind of funny the person asking for the feature admits to having huge amounts of tabs open.

  • It's due to the war (obviously). War does that to society. Look how much Americans and Germans hated each other but 70 years later there is not one bit of hate between the cultures.

    It will take time but if the war in Ukraine ever ceases, a few decades from now people in Russia and the west will eventually make amends. That is of course if a non authoritarian government succeeds in Russia. Which doesn't seem all that likely.

  • The problem sort of is capitalism right? These public good projects should have public funding. Imagine if the public funding for open source software projects was like that of the Apollo program in the 60s (2.5% of gdp).

  • Microsoft wants to update your Windows 11 PC without forcing you to reboot

    Jump

  • I've been using both OSs for over 20 years and the ONLY reason I use windows is for CAD (just 2d). All the foss options have potential but are very poor options for a longtime autocad user. Wine implementation is currently broken/terrible. VM is sorta a fallback option but doesn't run as fast as a native windows machine.

    I plan on switching to Librecad or something similar but it's like a 10/20 year plan and something tells me I'll have to develop the features I want myself.

  • Opinion | Why Don’t We Just Ban Fossil Fuels?

    Jump

  • read the article. The writer isn't advocating to ban them now, no one is. The title isn't Why don't we ban fossil fuels now.

    The point of the article is that we can try to innovate alongside fossil fuels with renewables, but petro companies are actually finding new efficiencies and reducing the costs of oil extraction. The IMF predicts $15/barrel oil by 2050. Oil will take another century to go away unless it is "banned". No one means they're going to make it illegal, but to effectively put a heavy hand of regulation on industry to cease fossil operations and to switch to renewables.

  • are they? If you add their utility and total negative externalities they are essentially un-useful. We have the technology now to phase them out over the next 10-20 years. All that is lacking is the political will.
