no…but i’ll say it again because you can’t seem to read. They’ll roll into Palestine and burn homes and attack people. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/terrifying-footage-of-israeli-settlers-on-their-way-to-set-fire-to-homes-on-west-bank/ar-AA1ZauMh

Also fuck off with the “Civilians don’t fight wars” IN ISRAEL THEY DO! Israel has a conscription. Holy shit man, every Jewish man and woman has to serve, every male Druze has to serve, every male Circassian has to serve. Their military is LITERALLY made up of civilians.

but they’ll roll into Palestine and burn homes and torture toddlers. that’s fine right? Fuck Israel and fuck the people in it.

I’m sorry but at this point, I don’t care anymore.

You can call me anti-semetic all you want that term has very little meaning to me now and that’s purely because of the bullshit that Israel is doing to a people that simply can’t defend themselves. The fact that Israel is committing the SAME bullshit that was committed to them nearly 100 years ago because they feel it’s “their turn” is absolute pure evil.

I can’t stand it. I grew up Catholic but I hate Christianity because of all the bullshit that group has done in the name of God. I can hate the Jews for the same reason. If you’re Jewish and you condemn what your people are doing then great, I respect you for it. Just like I can respect Christians that speak out against the bullshit they’ve done. But Jewish “settlers” burning homes and attacking people because they feel they’re owed the land? torturing infants and toddlers? Call me an anti-semite. I don’t care.

Hey Israelis if you’re going to burn homes and attack the population why don’t you do what the Germans once did to your people? start ripping out tooth fillings too.

but how does the “subscription” stuff work if you self host? I’m not gonna use fluxer on their servers because they put dumb shit behind a paywall like discord does.

character limit, upload limit, community limit, no username per server unless you pay for a subscription? hard pass.

This won’t become federated simply because of the fact you have to pay to unlock these features. If I made a fluxer server then I wouldn’t charge my users for having a stupid animated gif avatar. I know discord is shit but this thing ain’t the alternative.

it’s not a bot problem. Reddit NEEDS the bots in order to survive. the Problem is that for its advertisers it needs to verify that the ads being served are actually being seeing by humans. that’s it.

I’m more concerned that apparently 6 people read that and then not only A. understood it but B. agreed with it.

and considering how well and easily Iran has been able to retaliate at various targets yeah…this will go swimmingly.

Entropy also has an advertising/sponsorship deal with MLSE. you’ll see their ads all the time on the screens outside Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Might be a good idea to shoot MLSE an email asking why they support a fascist company like Entropy.

The details are vague in this article but what it sounds like is the Father and Son arrived via a visitor visa and the wife is naturally a refugee due to threats she/her family were receiving in India. So it’s very safe to assume that the father and son have well overstayed their visitor visa status (add to the fact he was working here at a Tim Hortons which is a no-no on a visitor visa) and so naturally deportation. a Visitor Visa allows up to 6months and since they stated the child was 2 or 3 when they arrived they’ve been here for at least 2 years. Also doesn’t say if the husband got a work permit (which I doubt).

IF you like warhammer 40k or want to get into the lore (it’s god damn insanely deep and interesting) there are a few VERY good videos that are multiple hours long that pretty much come out on a weekly basis. https://www.youtube.com/@Luetin09 is my favourite. if I have nothing to do one a weekend afternoon i’ll just put his vids on while I do some dev work or play around with my pc configs. each video is easily 2+ hours. and it’s just lore.

I don’t even know how to play WH40k, I don’t own any of the minitures, but damn do I know all the lore because of his vids.

imho in a weird way cassettes were better/more fun. Like wanting to record a song you like so you’d sit in front of the tape deck for hours on end listening to the radio waiting for that ONE song to come on so you could record it. It would take you hours, maybe even days, to make that mixtape of songs you didn’t own.

Also when I was a kid I had one of those fisher price tape decks that had the microphone attached to it. I wanted to make a mix tape of all my favourite songs from my NES games or games that I would rent (like the Battletoads theme song, or the music from the Batman videogame) so I would pop the game in then hold the microphone up to the TV speaker and record the songs.

well considering that in 2017 there was a study that revealed it cost on average $56k per year per homeless individual: https://ontario.cmha.ca/news/new-study-highlights-cost-of-homelessness/ and that’s just medical, and shelter use. homelesshub.ca reported that in 2013 it was more, 75k a year per homeless individual, and again that’s without providing housing.

so 115k in the long run will potentially save money. A person who has private and reliable shelter is more likely to start to contribute to society again, get a job, pay taxes, etc.

The solution has always been a homes first initiative with needs based assistance.

2036? this is Metrolinx we’re talking about. Maybe my great-great-grandchild will eventually board an electric GO train but it ain’t happening in any of our lifetimes.

yup in the early to mid 10’s every company, startup, etc offshored to India and the drivel that came back was about on par with today’s AI/LLMs. just complete garbage that either needed heavy refactoring or just start over from scratch with competent devs. So seeing all this with AI today I can only think “I’ve seen this episode before”

honestly as much as you can tolerate it. But once you start gaining traction then get off it.

like it or not linkedin and replying to tech bros posts calling them out. eventually a desperate upper manager or cto or ceo will notice and contact me to fix their fuck up. I used to just do contract dev work but I got tired of constantly reading bullshit on linkedin while trying to get work. so I started replying to the bullshit. eventually people seeing my replies figured I knew what I was talking about and would contact me for help. Now I get gigs purely from word of mouth.

as someone who deals directly with these CEOs and their startups/small companies, no it doesn’t surprise me. I deal with them on a daily basis. they’re all collectively idiots that somehow fell into a barrel full of thumbs and came out sucking tits. They learned catch phrases and linkedin buzzwords and have the ability to con investors who are arguably more stupid than the CEOs.

My entire lively hood is based purely off their collective idiocy. they utilize AI/LLM’s for builds, they fire virtually all their senior dev teams, then when things naturally go south they hire me to come in and pay me, honeslty, WAY more than I should be paid to code review their AI slop and tell them how fucked they are. that’s literally my job now. All they know are buzzwords and the ability to throw money at a problem that will then hopefully vanish but it never does.

I’ve had conversations with some of these morons where they’ve openly admitted to me that they “asked chatgpt and it said we should do this and this” so this CEO asking chatgpt for legal advice does not surprise me at all.

What i’ve learned is to get ahead in life all you need to do is abandon all your ethics and morals, learn some catchy buzzwords, and be a complete moron. The world then rewards you for it.

Because if you donate to a FOSS project you’re likely not looking for the attention, adoration, and possible “maybe they’ll date me” from the developer. People who pay A LOT to onlyfans models are looking for that. It’s the same reason people donate to twitch streamers. They want the attention, they want the acknowledgement.
