Fuck Israel.

Hoping they get an abomb.

Is that similar to the saying “don’t sign up to work for genocidal governments and expect to live a long and fulfilling life?”

Keep doing your thing then. I’m sure it will be as effective as it always has been.

First, I have no clue who deserves death or not. I just feel no sympathy for these lost lives. I won’t feel any sympathy or regret if more Israeli government officials die.

Israel and the US government paint campus protestors as terrorists. They are going to continue painting any resistance to the genocide as terrorism.

We have no idea what this accomplished. You sound like the compromising liberals MLK Jr criticized. Oh, we just have to protest a little more civilly next time and avoid inconveniencing people. If this strikes fear in Israeli officials, sounds like a win to me

Yeah, after Iraq and Afghanistan, and many other countries, I have very little sympathy for people working on foreign affairs with the US government. The US is not a force for good in this world.

I agree, some people have little choice. Fortunately, I personally left America and no longer pay taxes so I don’t have to be part of that. Not everyone can do that.

People who actively join the government and support Israeli efforts should be held accountable. I also have no sympathy for ICE agents in the US either.

They are part of the government that is committing genocide.

They are part and parcel of the genocidal apparatus. I have no sympathy at all for them.

Piggybacking on this, is there an app that will easily download your emails from Gmail and MS for backup purposes? Something like a pop3 frontend that will archive with folders and tags.

One of the few manufacturers that have the 3.5mm jack and SD card. The only other one I can think of now is Motorola.

I’m going to go against the grain a bit and suggest studying for a certificate. Find one that looks interesting, and just prepare for it. You don’t necessarily have to get the certificate, but training for it will give you a good foundation for running your systems.

I know rebuilding containers is trivial, but updating a service in the UI is more trivial than that. I’m just trying to make my life as trivial as possible 😁. It seems like containers may be worth the little bit of extra effort.

Copying a response I wrote on another comment -

Thanks for this - the one advantage I’m noticing is that to update the services I’m running, I have to rebuild the container. I can’t really just update from the UI if an update is available. I can do it, it is just somewhat of a nuisance.

How often are there issues with dependencies? Is that a problem with a lot of software these days?

I see it as a sign of health that people working with vaccines only use them when they are beneficial, and don’t use them when there are reasons not to.

Remote adb (I think?) was a lot easier than I expected. I recommend changing these tv launchers as quick as possible.

Perhaps the closest term is “cognitive dissonance.” I don’t think current usage best fits your description, although the original event that inspired the term certainly does.

https://www.simplypsychology.org/cognitive-dissonance.html

Cognitive dissonance was first investigated by Leon Festinger, arising out of a participant observation study of a cult that believed that the earth was going to be destroyed by a flood, and what happened to its members — particularly the really committed ones who had given up their homes and jobs to work for the cult — when the flood did not happen.

While fringe members were more inclined to recognize that they had made fools of themselves and to “put it down to experience,” committed members were more likely to re-interpret the evidence to show that they were right all along (the earth was not destroyed because of the faithfulness of the cult members).

There is the sunk-cost fallacy, but that is more about investments. I don’t know if it’s refers to popularity like OP wants.

I’ve seen the argument that it is actually better to cripple the bridge than take it out completely. As it is, Russia still has to expend significant resources to protect a symbol that has very little strategic military value. Once it’s destroyed, those resources are freed up to use elsewhere. I think I agree with that. It can be destroyed later as a final triumph.

150TB doesn’t seem like a lot for a whole university. Am I missing something?
