Ugh, an article with popups on loss of window focus. That’s an immediate Ctrl+W from me.

Palestine has a right to exist.

My headcanon is that Number One is the in-universe voice actor for ship computers in Starfleet. Once they made the computer model of her voice, it remained in use all the way to the TNG era.

I doubt Lwaxana Troi would have been interested in sitting still for a hundred hours of voice recording.

The war in Gaza isn’t the only thing going on in the world, you know. It’s not even the deadliest war going on right now. Take a look at the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anthropogenic_disasters_by_death_toll#Wars_and_armed_conflicts

The current era of the Israel-Palestine war (since October) has a death toll of around 30k. Look at how many other current and recent wars have death tolls of at least that much. Notably, the US-Afghanistan war (around 193k deaths) was ended by Biden.

Why is the antivirus software detecting my Cortex-M3 binaries as dangerous to an amd64 computer? Happens on Windows 7 through Windows 10, across 3 different employers.

And how do I submit my builds to Virus Total if they’re getting deleted as soon as they come out of the linker?

Themselves. It’s a civil war. The military in Burma/Myanmar has been out of control for many decades. Currently, the military controls the country, after overthrowing the 2020 democratically elected government.

People there are probably avoiding conscription not because they fear the danger of war, but because they disagree with the military’s position, and don’t want to have to kill peaceful protesters.

Why does the article call the people held by Israel “prisoners”, but the people held by Palestine “hostages”?

Heat is now probably present in the Sun, NASA says.

The biggest thing I felt was regret, from not having transitioned earlier.

I don’t think I’m as passable as a cis woman, though I do put a bit of effort into my appearance. I’m definitely passable as a trans woman, in the sense that even when I wear gender neutral clothing people can tell I’m a woman.

It’s nice that I live in a place where it’s enough merely to pass as a trans woman. If I lived in the south of the US, that wouldn’t be enough. I’d have to be stealth. I could probably be more passable if I got voice surgery or something.

What ad blocker? I used uBlock origin without any issue, although I have a lot of custom filters.

Do you even know how a primary works? This can’t possibly reduce Biden’s chance of winning (not in the primary, not in the election).

I would be voting “Uncommitted” tomorrow if I didn’t already have Covid. It’s not so severe that I couldn’t vote, but it is definitely contagious enough that I can’t safely go to a voting site.

Headlines like this are problematic. I think we can all agree that Trump has done a lot of damage to democracy in the US, but are rural Trump supporters really more dangerous than urban Trump supporters? That claim is suspect, and the article provides no evidence to support it (it provides evidence that most Trump supporters are rural, which is a totally different claim.)

And saying that white rural Trump supporters are worse than non-white rural Trump supporters is an even more serious claim. It’s racially discriminatory, and seems totally baseless in this article.

The article has no evidence of these claims, and seems to indicate that the book doesn’t even make the claims of the headline.

(I’m not objecting to the claims that Trump supporters are mostly rural and mostly white. That is common knowledge.)

Pathfinder’s compatibility is based on 3.5e, so DnD 3.5e homebrew stuff is likely to work with Pathfinder. 5e stuff probably will not.

Old Windows games are more likely to run successfully on Linux than Windows.

New Windows games supposedly run faster in modern Linux than modern Windows. I can’t verify it, lacking a modern Windows installation, but tomshardware.com said it was true.

Regardless of whether this narrative is tired, or a decade old, it is still very relevant right now. Trump is a Russian agent. It is essential not to let him hand over the US to Russia.

Any citations? I mean, the more recent stuff is obvious, because Trump just comes out and says it. He basically admits he’s a Russian agent.

But what about the 1987 full page ad? Is that referring to this: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ilanbenmeir/that-time-trump-spent-nearly-100000-on-an-ad-criticizing-us

If so, that ad doesn’t say anything about NATO. The ad recommends pulling support for Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf, and most of all Japan. Although Trump’s ad is fucking stupid, this ad doesn’t say anything about any NATO countries.

Woke used to be a positive term. It referred to people who had their point of view expanded or changed so that they felt more awake than they had before.

Woke used to mean enlightenment.

Cloudflare seems to incorrectly classify my Internet connection, which is a residential Internet connection going to my house, as a datacenter connection or VPN or something.

Many websites that use Cloudflare give me endless captcha forms. As soon as I solve one, it demands another, and never lets me access the website.

Sometimes I solve one captcha, and then it says I’m blocked forever for sending automated queries, even though I filled it out correctly. The error message is: “You are blocked.”

Sometimes it lets me in after one captcha, but I still resent having to enable Javascript for these assholes just to access a site that doesn’t otherwise require Javascript.

Sometimes Cloudflare adds extra security to certain pages, just for me. The developers of the website didn’t program it to handle this extra security, so the site fails for just me, and the site developers don’t believe me, telling me I have a browser problem (in three different browsers, which I can fix by using a proxy). For example, when the site’s javascript has my browser to do a CORS operation, the first step is the browser sending an OPTIONS request. However, the extra security of the proxy introduced by Cloudflare responds slightly differently from the actual website, so the site breaks.

Cloudflare uses a holistic approach to deciding whether you are a legitimate user or a bot. In other words, they use every single possible piece of data they can get on you, including tracking your visits across other Cloudflare sites. They do discriminate against certain user-agent strings.

Cloudflare completely blocks many Tor users, even from having read-only access to a site.

When you ask Cloudflare why your IP address is blocked, they falsely claim that it’s a setting created by the website admins. I strongly suspect that this setting is something like “use Cloudflare™ Adaptive Security™” and probably doesn’t explain to the site admin that they’re blocking large quantities of innocent users.

Cloudflare has previously used Google Recaptcha, which has a ton of problems (tracking, accessibility, training AIs that will make my life worse).

I don’t care what Hamas says or admits. Reliable news sources have repeatedly reported that IDF is killing an unreasonably high number of innocent Palestinian civilians, relative to the number of Hamas soldiers that they kill.
