If you want to see some real level of mental degeneracy, you should check out the edit and discuss pages for any Wikipedia articles involving Modi or the BJP.

It’s literally like 2 mods keeping information up and preventing a wave of salty nationalist trying to edit in propaganda.

inb4 Israel bombs Qatar /s

I actually got flagged on reddit for a joke comment I made with a 3 liner code block that had something like thread.kill()

It thought I was promoting violence lol

Bet my life savings the Pakistani army sells the resource rights to some oil company for $5

Or in the rare chance Imran Khan actually makes it out of political purgatory, bet my life savings it will take the USA 5 seconds to do another regime change.

Or it could also just be a hyped up false report like last time…

I actually found an article that breaks the rule:

https://lemmy.world/post/18139913

West Bank isn’t an active war zone

The USA allows you to visit anywhere you want, and they maintain a travel advisory list for every country. Both Israel and the West Bank are listed as “High Security Risk”, not “Do Not Travel”. You can still visit “Do Not Travel” places at mostly your own risk.

The reason given for the advisory is “terrorism and civil unrest”. Nowhere in their explanation does it say you will be actively shot at by the acting “defense” force or police.

Hell considering the circumstances, it’s probably better to avoid run ins with the IDF, which is the opposite of what the advisory says to do lol.

Y’all in this comments section really underestimating polls vs voter turnout.

Did everyone already forget 2016?

Michigan turned red over a sketchy candidate. No way in hell it’s gonna be blue if a literal genocide supporter is the candidate.

And for all the “but muh ceasfire” comments, I’ll be happy to shove the 2 minute pro palestinian speech into your ears since Harris banned it from being presented at the DNC rally after pretending to care about American Palestinians.

Pandering for votes with no change from Biden’s stance because all hail that sweet sweet AIPAC money and Israeli war machine.

So either executed by Russia because… the whale didn’t like Putin…

or

Executed by the USA because… the CIA doesn’t take any chances…

Washington can’t fathom not running their monopoly on every global market lol.

China is supposed to be a dirty 3rd world outsource nation, not a competitor. They should do as told instead of actually investing in their country’s infrastructure /s.

Yeah I should have mentioned the context is FBLA, and Google partially fixed the prompt.

Original from a few weeks ago:

BPA is another student org called Business Professionals of America

The AI ignores the subject context and just compares whatever is the most common acronym.

They lazy patched it by making the model do a subject check on the result, but not on the prompt so it still comes back with the chemical lol.

You can do this with practically any versus question and get hilarious results

The Sindh government, however, has denied reports that climate-driven economic insecurity was causing child marriages in the province.

If I could, I would hurl every single slur possible at the Pakistan Peoples Party

They single handedly keep polio alive and prevent regional ambulances from being a thing.

Started as a shit tier “communist” party which lo and behold was actually just a feudalist party in disguise.

Also responsible for the 1971 Bangladesh massacre/genocide

They were also selling the UN aid food very visibly labled “not for sale” during last years disastrous monsoon season.

Yeah anytime the US “subsidizes” something in the local auto market, GM alone eats it up in 5 seconds and pretends they did something with it. Sometimes Ford and Chrysler also get a share.

I’m pretty sure they already recently gave funding to GM for EVs which will go absolutely nowhere because all their major sales are from regular gasoline cars.

I was even hopeful of Ford’s hybrid Fusion, but they killed that one too because money.

If they really want to make some serious competition, they should break up the oligopoly of car OEMs. But they never did and never will.

This exact scenario already played out with Japanese OEMs decades ago. They brought a superior product to the market, and instead of competing, they just lobbied congress to make a crap ton of stupid import laws to prevent Japanese cars from taking the market.

Then they had a weird era of those hybrid car brands where the big 3 made partnerships with Nissan, Toyota, etc for tech sharing because they couldn’t even properly R&D for crap.

Then Nissan, Toyota, Honda, and Subaru opened plants inside the USA to bypass the import stuff, and here we are today.

The only difference this time is instead of what was generally perceived as an economic ally, the new kid on the block is the next enemy after Russia. And tbh not even a major threat type of enemy.

Right? Dreamcast is a 90s 32 bit system with plenty of RAM and compute power, NES is an 80s 8 bit system with so high of a constraint that you must program in its native assembly.

I remember the Micro Mages devs making a whole video on a ton of stuff that they had to optimize for their game just to fit it into a 40kb cartridge, and they still didn’t cover it all.

Lots of 3rd world countries do this. Hell some of them even made direct competitors to Uber just to allow cash payments and less restrictive vehicles.

I’m gonna be honest, aside from the one ceasefire they had, I highly doubt Hamas has been able to continue to smuggle weapons across Egypt’s border.

Israel already makes it near impossible for actual aid trucks to get through, I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire border was being monitored by Mossad informants.

I think Hamas knew any negotiations would likely fail, so they really did prepare for a drawn out conflict by stockpiling resources and taking hostages to use as pressure.

Anything they have left is probably small arms and stuff they scavanged from Israeli troops.

iirc due to some anti trust lawsuits, they cannot do that anymore.

But it’s still easy to coerce OEMs to run Windows because they offer stuff like quick support and standardized IT support.

If an OEM ships Linux, they don’t want to have to make an entire department to help troubleshoot the OS for users who will inevitably call for help. Ignoring them would only result in returns and loss of sales.

I think some thinkpads actually do ship with some distro like redhat or opensuse as an option, but that’s because thinkpads are very popular in the business space which means lots of CS people use them, so it helps save some cost from a windows license that won’t get used.

Like I said though, if windows really dives into the deep end, I think a potential market would open and some OEM will take a chance on it.

In a different article, he said he had issues with the ext4 maintainer who was acting high and mighty about C despite being responsible for a number of huge CVEs from code that he wrote.

That being said, I don’t really see the benefit of rewriting modules in Rust.

Technically, it’s still not a 1:1 replacement because Rust will many times not generate the exact same machine code as C, which does result in a small loss of speed (and in some small cases, vice versa).

It’s acceptable for anything new, but unless there’s a notoriously painful part of the kernel, there’s no pont in redoing existing parts and even core userspace binaries.

C quite literally makes you manipulate memory like a caveman holding a machine gun, but that’s important because it’s exactly what the machine is doing, which is required when you need to maximize efficiency. In Rust, you’d have to abstract some of that to the compiler to handle your logic which doesn’t match what a machine is doing. There is no such thing as “borrowing” and “ownership” in machine code.

Not to be that guy but why not use Curve25519?

I still remember all the conspiracies surrounding NIST and now 25519 is the default standard.

In 2013, interest began to increase considerably when it was discovered that the NSA had potentially implemented a backdoor into the P-256 curve based Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm.[11] While not directly related,[12] suspicious aspects of the NIST’s P curve constants[13] led to concerns[14] that the NSA had chosen values that gave them an advantage in breaking the encryption.[15][16]

There’s plenty of videos on YouTube of people trying Linux for the first time, and it can be painful to watch how poorly they try to fix something or unintentionally break their system.

That’s not to say windows is any better, because they’d do the same thing there.

But people will only switch permanently if windows really falls off hard, which may or may not happen.

You have to think of it like how people first learned to use a mouse and double click back in the 90s. It’s not immediately intuitive for everyone, they often have to start over.

That being said, having a big OEM ship linux would do wonders, but Microsoft fights hard to make sure that almost never happens.
