65 Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics: What We Saw in Gaza
  • I just don't understand why Biden hasn't stopped the transfer of military equipment. Everyone, even the coldest psychopath, has a cost-benefit analysis to guide their decisions. I can't see any political, geopolitical or whatever benefit the USA may be getting from this. There must be something else going on that is not public.

  • Judge dismisses Donald Trump's classified documents case
  • She's creating the opportunity to take it to SCOTUS where they will make the appointment of any future Special Counsel illegal. The intent is not to be consistent and it doesn't have to make sense. Hell, it's even better if it doesn't make sense because this erodes the judiciary's legitimacy; two birds, one stone.

    Americans are in very very deep trouble but they don't seem to care. The worst part is that the rest of the world will be dragged down with them.

  • China's state subsidies in green technologies significantly higher than those in EU and OECD countries, distorting competition, researchers say
  • WTF. Is the abstract concept of "competition" more important than weaning out of fossil fuels in order to keep Earth habitable for humans?

    I find this mindset doubly crazy because the USA grants a ton of subsidies to oil companies.

    China's government is horrible for a myriad reasons but this instance of concern trolling is just blatant pro-oil and pro-capital propaganda. The USA is antagonizing China for the wrong reasons and from the outside, their alleged motivations look stupid and petty.

    It's immensely disheartening to see the supposed "leader of the free world" acting in such a dumb way in the face of an impending catastrophe.

  • The Paradox of Blackmarket Wired Bluetooth Apple Headphones
  • Yeah, I feel like oop reached the wrong conclusion after this. Apple treats its consumers as if they were mindless children and they (for some reason) love it. Just look at the whole "green texts" issue, for example.

    Some manufacturers found a smart workaround but the apple brainrot is stronger, I guess.

  • What's your take on private trackers?
  • My experience is that just seeding what you like indefinitely is not useful. You have to be proactive and find popular torrents to seed and accrue any meaningful upload amount.

    The tracker I use has a bonus point system to encourage all seeders even of unpopular releases but it's slow.

    I found that the perfect solution for my use case (music) ended up being Soulseek. I don't have much money for seedboxes or buying extra storage so I feel like I'm priced out of private trackers.

  • Rules are rules
  • Damn, I hope you got a good payout. The logo is for a taiwanese foundry called Silicon Integrated Systems; they used to make very cheap chipsets and stuff like that.

  • Rules are rules
  • My first "multimedia" computer back in '99 had an integrated SiS VGA card, with an amazing 8MB video RAM.

    Before that, my computer was a keyboard-only monochrome 386 with windows 3.1

    Yes, my back is killing me but my knees are surprisingly ok.

    Proton Mail CEO Calls New Address Verification Feature 'Blockchain in a Very Pure Form'
  • I think the main pro of this system would be that it requires no trust. The immutability would be actually a con for privacy: if you're burned or doxxed later, there would be hard evidence of your identity in the blockchain.
