  • Has anyone ever come up with what a Palestinian State would look like without wiping Israel of the map? If so have both sides ever been presented the offer? If not why?

  • It's a video of a very well known academic from Israel. It's available on many, many different sources. I literally just grabbed the first one that came up on YouTube.

    Here's the original 2hr video of the entire conference presentation from CDA: https://youtu.be/Cs70S35_HPY?si=mKsQPYQfrOZvuAQo

    Don't reject self-evidently truthful commentary simply because you have a problem with the specific channel providing the clip.

  • I'm curious what you mean by "better moderation"? Are you comparing to specific instances? Or do you mean consistency, because it's more centralized?

    I'm all seriousness, this is just another in a long litany of horribly oppressive actions taken by China's government. Not looking forward to the US moving in that direction

  • How should one access their servers when in China if at all?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, no, not really. They are absolutely able and willing to confiscate your devices at any time once you're on Chinese soil, and once you've lost physical control, that's the end of trust for that device. Even beyond that, it's not unheard of for there to be vulnerabilities in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc that make your device susceptible to wireless attacks. IMO it's not worth the risk.

    Here is just one example of this type of thing uncovered by The Guardian, New York Times, and others in a joint investigation: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/02/chinese-border-guards-surveillance-app-tourists-phones

  • Do not bring your normal personal devices to China. They are notorious for injecting spyware on foreign devices at every opportunity. Use a freshly formatted device and create all new accounts to use with it.

    Regarding services: do not use self-hosted services unless you you spin up fresh, isolated instances of your services for use while abroad and spin them down afterwards, including formatting any OS they were hosted on.

    Regarding VPN: because we are assuming that any device used in China is compromised, do not connect to your VPN unless you have set up a segregated VLAN and are connecting through a VPN server instance created specifically for use while in China.

    Basically, assume anything you use in China is compromised. And assume your connections are being monitored. And assume that any device you are connecting to from China is at risk of being compromised. So everything needs to be segregated from the rest of your network and set up specifically to be deleted after you're back home.

  • TIL who I should actually contact if I witness anyone intimidating or harassing at polling places.

  • I would like you to direct me to any images or posts on fedi or similar that instruct people to call the numbers provided INSTEAD of calling government authorities

    Because while your post explicitly calls out the instructions in these image as being wrong, giving the specific impression that people should call the numbers you provided and NOT political orgs (because you speak very critically of the political orgs, insinuating they should not be called), every post I've seen with political org numbers has simply provided the information without additional comment

    Your initial post reeks of manipulation in an effort to drive people away from the political orgs.

    Those orgs serve a very specific purpose that is NOT covered by the state and federal offices you've told people to call. Those government offices are not a replacement for the services provided by the political orgs and you should not be presenting them as if they are

  • Recounts do not include submitting new votes.

    And either way, good luck getting a partisan controlled office to institute a recount or re-vote in the current political climate.

    You are gambling on the hope that the problem gets fixed later. This is a terrible idea.

    And local election offices - often under partisan control - have no obligation to assist individuals in getting their ballot cast.

    You are either being extremely naive to the realities on the ground, or intentionally disingenuous.

  • The gift isn't the crime.

    Telling people you're holding a sweepstakes, collecting their information based on that statement, and then not holding the sweepstakes and instead giving the supposed prize to someone of your choice is the crime

    It's called fraud

  • None of the resources detailed in this post provide any form of immediate assistance to resolve an ongoing threat to your ability to cast your vote.

    They will not help you find a lawyer. They will not help pay for that lawyer. They will not contact law enforcement and apply pressure to have them respond in a timely manner.

    These should NOT be your first call. They should be who you report to after the fact to pursue long term remediation.

    If you are a Democrat, call a left-leaning political org with sufficient funding and an army of lawyers.

    If you are a Republican, call a right-leaning political org with sufficient funding and an army of lawyers.

    THEN call the folks in the OP

    If your ballot is never cast, it can't be fixed later. The best the folks in the OP can do is punish the people who committed the crime. They can't get your vote counted. The political orgs are specifically set up to help in real-time to make sure you and everyone else at your polling place gets to vote NOW!

  • Except it is a violation of the law, just a different law. They defrauded the public by collecting something of material value (registrant information) under false pretenses. It's textbook fraud

  • Which is why allowing the right to use the label "pro-life" was a cardinal sin of the Democrats' strategy

    I'm literally pro-life: I support saving lives whenever and wherever it's reasonable to do so

    But I'm pro-choice, because I don't think I should be the one to decide for everyone else which situation is reasonable and which isn't. Also, women deserve basic fucking rights and bodily autonomy is, like, the number one most fundamental right

    We really ought to change the nature of the conversation: it's not "pro-life". It's pro-enslavement, pro-religious-tyranny, and pro-absolutism

  • It was a minor aside. It was very obviously not the primary point of my reply. You chose to fixate on it. And you continue to do so. Seriously done with you now, chief. 👋

  • It's a charicature. I'm not laughing because I think it's real (which would be kind of mean, anyway, since I'd just be laughing at someone screwing up). I'm laughing because it's relatable to real experiences many people have had, and because of the added commentary about software development.

    Your hyperfocus on reality in media, and failure to see the comedy for what it truly is, is far more cringe than the video 😉

    EDIT: it's like asking why people laugh at the obviously fake stories stand-up comedians tell because they're made up. Like, yeah, no shit, that's not the point.

  • I see that you won't even bother trying to address the initial point of my reply so I'm done here. I'm not trying to debate the merits of a case that never even went to trial, when the whole point of my reply was to simply point out that you were being outrageously hyperbolic

    Address the actual complaint or gtfo.

  • Honestly, at this point, I don't even care, because the main point I was trying to make stands either way: this is not, by an stretch of the imagination, as crooked as they come. Seriously. You must see that at this point. Like, the fact that we're even having this discussion over the nuances of the case is itself proof that it's not the worst form of crooked.

    Do I really need to start listing off the people throughout history who have been far more crooked? Or can you just admit you were being hyperbolic and exaggerating for effect?
