lol, news say iran already is weakened and wouldn't endure a long conflict.

iron dome already is more like iron sieve.

iran has a population of 92 million.
israel has 9 million.

surrounded by more countries with a very pissed population and guns floating around.

own military demoralized and reduced by gaza campaign.

big parts of the western population not in the mood to save israel after genociding gaza and starting a war.

might be that bibi streched luck a bit too much this time.

butter has "nutri score" E. BUTTER!

don't tell 'em i often go through two packs of butter a week xD

@lain aber nicht englisch sprechen xD

@lain präventivschlag!

> Bundesinnenminister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) sagte zum Abschluss der Innenministerkonferenz in Bremerhaven, er sei zu dem Ergebnis gekommen, "dass die von Israel heute Nacht durchgeführten Maßnahmen und Operationen der Sicherheit und der Existenz Israels dienlich sind".

@sun @feld imo if an application sniffs X11, it can do other things as well. either you can trust the software, or you don't.

another display server isn't the issue. arcan just does it's thing. the issue is how people involved in wayland behave. if the product is better, they wouldn't need to use oppressive tactics. it's the same with rust or haskell (and openbsd people who constantly shit talk linux, but that's my pet peeve).

this way they admit their product is shit. they behave like communists taking over successful businesses, putting the owners into a gulag, run the business into the ground and then use it as proof communism is good.

imagine all the people who go to "protests" would instead just stop enabling the state to do oppressive shit. a few weeks and things would be fixed, or at least be much better.

instead they just hope for being in charge next turn, which never happens of course.

only winning move is not to play.

btw, my X still runs fine.

given how it went with the systemd coup d'etat attempt, someone will rip out the relevant parts and create a shim to run things under X if toolkits drop support for X.

the precious windows thinking they run under wayland will be rendered with tearing, they will be recorded, they will be focused.

YOU CAN'T STOP THE X :ultra_fast_parrot:

@p @taylan @SilverDeth well, i'm on here as well and not out meeting people :)

i try hard to not do pissing contests. i think in almost half the cases i write a post but delete it. it's just not worth arguing with a certain kind of people and most topics aren't worth it. either someone has the potential to understand freedom as an idea or they don't, and no force in this world can convince them otherwise except they themselves. i took long enough to get it myself, took more than half of my life.

most people just aren't that interesing (to me) but it's on me to change or do something if i want to meet others. can't expect others to do this for me, "be the change you want to see" :)

@taylan @p @SilverDeth you can do things however you like when it comes to personal relations. i just don't think that it's that easy to make friends. i was invited by colleagues as well - it's just what some people do. that doesn't mean they are friends i'd rely on, especially after witnessing close friends going crazy during chinese flu era.

to me, using language like "orbiters" reflects how you seem to view others: not like equals who you might dislike or disagree with but as lowers. you can very well just mute people. i collected quotes in my bio as well but specifically without calling out people. it serves to keep away the collectivists. interestingly most of these quotes are in one sense or another saying i'm cognitively challenged, a classic argument of collectivists for centuries.

the point of free speech IS that you can use these words, because they are just words. I don't use them because I think using this language does change myself more than it changes others. insulting doesn't help me improve myself, neither does it further the goals i deem important.
p has a pretty good post on the FSE blog about free speech.

i haven't read your exchange about passwords. representation doesn't matter, as long as it's a reversible operation it doesn't change the strength of a password.

i think it's a pretty good hobby to hack on things which solve ones problems. annoying people on the net being one problem, a bot that replies them nonsensical stuff with the objective that they leave one alone is a pretty amusing solution.

in the post which i said was good advice, p suggested that arguing with people online might not be the the best way to spend ones limited time alive.

@p @taylan @SilverDeth i think it's well intentioned but misguided. whatever floats his boat i guess :blobcatshrug:

@taylan @p @SilverDeth
> I don't agree that "stop antagonizing idiots; don't you want the idiots to become your friends?!" is any kind of good advice.

that's not what p wrote

> being told their door is always open

that's common courtesy when parting on good terms

> and some coworkers trying to keep up private contact with me, but I tend to politely ghost them or turn down invitations to social events.

people being nice rewarded with ghosting👌

> I could easily make friends if I wanted to, but most people bore or frustrate me for a variety of reasons, so I politely turn away from them.

i think you might mistake acquaintances for friends. from what i know you are about to enter an age where having real friends will become increasingly hard.

> Unintelligent people can't seem to tell that this fedi account is 50% a joke and not what I'm like in earnest...

do you yourself know which half is the serious part? you just wrote a hundred words in reply to me agreeing to what p wrote. was that serious, or shitposting?

> And pee seriously seems to have thought that me lamenting about the stupidity of various online spaces was me complaining about "not having friends" because he has no reading comprehension.

i have no idea what post of yours p references, but i'm pretty sure reading comprehension isn't ps issue. declaring people stupid or insane is a very lazy argument imo.

@p @taylan @SilverDeth real solid advice here

@sun from what i can see from here trump is a wild mix of actually good ideas and absolute garbage. he does end wars while simultaneously rounding people up.

@p @sicp @mavalalkujuuu hacker ethics should really be enough "coc" for everyone.

would love to see more interesting things again. today i had the thought that there are many more technologies today than 20-30 years ago. one would expect that there would be a similar increase in cool hacks - which there of course are - but the amount hasn't increased in the same manner.

@p @sicp @mavalalkujuuu given that there already was a big drama about picrel (made from "creeper move cards" :) more than a decade ago, i'd expect the stake to be the main event!

@mavalalkujuuu @sicp @p
> I agree, fantastic writeup with a nice amount of technical detail sprinkled in. This would work really well as a talk at something like the Chaos Communication Congress.

lol, they'd burn p on the stake at 2025 CCC xD

@sun really wild
