Truth Out is notoriously low quality journalism that routinely, distorts the facts, or misrepresents them. This article is yet another example.

If the defense of a new source is, “but they barely distorted the facts,” do you really need further clarification?

Truth-Out notorious for this kind of thing.

I should have been a farmer.

Absolute lowest quality journalism allowed on this website. Of course, people are happy to post it repeatedly as long as it conforms with their worldview.

Thanks. I’ll have to look into some of these questions!

But it is run by Hamas, just so we are clear.

But the current outage is different. It was sparked by a breakdown at one of the country’s aging electrical stations and has affected every facet of life for ordinary people: They cannot cool or light their homes, food is spoiling in refrigerators, they cannot cook, and many can’t access water to drink or wash.

Following this thread because I think it’s one of the very interesting unanswered questions about federation.

Most Android phones also have an extra dim mode. Any phone with an OLED screen will give you true blacks (including the s23).

I’ve always had good experiences with Samsung phones in terms of durability.

It’s a very stable, reliable, local, cross-platform file syncing that is pretty easy to set up. Basically, it allows you to have a shared folder (or folders) on multiple devices without using Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud, etc.

Oh No! This is terrible news. This IMHO is one of the most irreplaceable projects out there. I don’t know of another cross-platform local file syncing app that comes anywhere close to this. I hope that it can continue even if it’s not through the Play Store.

Google seems to be torpedoing open source developments with a number of decisions lately. Maybe they see F-Droid as a threat now that EU is making them open competition? Maybe they just don’t care.

If your bank account gets low enough, spontaneity goes back up.

Anyone used this successfully? I couldn’t get it to do much useful

Sometimes I feel like Firefox wants to be very visible while you’re using it so that you know you’re using Firefox. A great browser should disappear into the background most of the time.

I have no problem with highlighting a new feature by default, but making it impossible to remove doesn’t win you any favors. I feel like there are a lot of tab management things that Firefox is very proud of and wants people to use that are just not that useful. Especially when they haven’t finished implementing vertical tabs yet, which has been a requested feature for a decade.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Firefox, and I think it’s a great browser, but these little bad PR missteps make it really frustrating.

Even George Bush Jr. understood the concept of “you break it, you bought it.” It is clear that Netanyahu sent troops into Gaza with no consideration for either 1) How basic needs like food, water and shelter would be provided to impacted civilians, or 2) What system of leadership would maintain order in Gaza following the war.

War crimes are war crimes whether they are by design or by incompetence. Israelis who are protesting the war rightly point out that this is not making Israel any safer, nor leading to the release of hostages, nor the return of the more than 100,000 internally displaced Israelis.

If you need something more universal, you should try a file share service with linking like Dropbox. I know it’s not ideal to replace Google with another paid service, but it is the other option.

Either both people have to have the same app to exchange the file (which if you want something common, means Google, Apple, Samsung, etc), or both people access a server to share large files.

Proton offers file sharing, too.

I love that all of the countries of the world tend to experience ups and downs with birth rate. However, only China, does away with the complexities of economic incentives, fiddly laws, educational programs, and delicate immigration policies. Rather, the government approach is simply, “stop having children!” “Now have more children!” “Go!”

It takes the mi5 to figure that out? Seems pretty obvious to most of us.

Such a promising form factor, killed by Microsoft ineptitude.
