...this isn't wrong, but electron apps are also legitimately bloated. it feels like we've taken the improvements in CPU speed and memory cost for granted, even if it was for a good reason. those hardware improvements arent necessarily going to continue forever - at some point we will run up against physical limits, so programmers should be more responsible about performance. the need to ship fast is often in conflict with writing performant software
the only exception to my point is TVs, why the forget do all of them have such stuffty god damn processors. I have never bought a ""smart"" TV that functions without significant input lag or crashing. In this case, I think running an entire OS on the thing is overengineering and it should only display what the inputs are giving it. I want my TVs dumb as a bricknah but I do like having a netflix/amazon prime/emby/etc app right on the TV.
Palestinians have every reason to fight against this bullstuff, but I don't think they'll shy away from avenging the decades of bloodshed if they get the upper hand. What do you think a peaceful solution could look like?they didnt do "decades of bloodshed" against the white afrikaners in south africa after apartheid. but many of them left voluntarily.
I don't know why you guys are willing to make such strong claims well not seeming to knowing your history very well. Anti-Semites have been killing Jews for hundreds of years. Seems weird it's only a problem once the Jewish can stand up for themselves after building a home by... buying land and defending it.i know the history well. they only bought land at first but in 1947 the UN granted them 56% of the land between the river and the sea despite them being only 1/3 of the population there. this was done with almost no consideration towards the desire or land claims of the palestinian population. the arabs that the UNSCOP surveyed didn't want there to be a partition at all but they did it anyway.
Not claiming all the land was bought but as far as I know most land acquisition by Israel has been after they've been attacked and they retaliate.in 1947 the UN just gives them 56% of the land when they only legally owned 7% of it at that point. after the 1949 armistice they have even more land than the UN would have given them. naked theft
There's absolutely plenty of Anti-Semitic conflicts targeting Jews prior to 1948. E.g. Why aren't we talking about the Balfour Declaration of 1917? It feels like talking about 1880-1920 would be far more productive than starting in the middle of the conflict.what is there to say about the balfour declaration? the british did not keep their promise that palestinian rights would be respected, they completely mismanaged mandatory palestine and both sides hated them. why should we be talking about that
...there are more than enough resources for everybody to live happily in the area between the river and the sea. israel produces 95% of its own food requirements
This entire conflict has been like a car crash in slow motion, we could've stopped it before but now it feels like we're a bit powerless to stop it. We can stop it in theory, but that stuff ain't happening no matter how many people say #freepalestine on Twitter or TikTok. These people hate each other's guts, and they're both so entrenched in their lands that both of their only win conditions are "kill everyone from the other side" and have been for the last few decades. This sort of generational hate cannot be calmed by fancy words.
There will be no peace until either side is wiped out, or they're both occupied by yet another nation as a "policing action" to try and stop the violence through even more violence.
All that being said, zionists and sharia-adherent muslims both suck. I hope the fighting leaves one dead and the other near death.

This sort of generational hate cannot be calmed by fancy words.twitter and tiktok have been pretty important actually. obviously just posting really doesnt help anyone, but seeing the death and destruction in HD on social media is why there's been so much mobilization and popular support. the free palestine movement has never been this big in the US.
I think I might have learned enough to argue! LETS GOOOOAKA "i read wikipedia for an hour and became an expert"
Care to define genocide? Or am I supposed to just feel bad because it's the word "genocide" and I should take it at face value? I'd argue the fact Gaza isn't glass is a sign that Israel might not actually be committing "genocide". They sure do seem to take quite a few actions to avoid civilian casualties. Unlike Hamas who targets civilians, kills civilians kidnaps civilians and stores munitions under their own civilians.
it literally says it in rule 3 in the opYoure gay and fail however
i dont understand why you handicaps manage to bring your senile presidents up in every single topic imaginable?israel would literally disintegrate without america's apparently unconditional financial, military, and logistical support. the president has immense leverage over israel even without support from congress. it's completely relevant here
