Directly killing several million people with bombs is actually pretty tough. Killing many millions with famine is much simpler.

Israel manufacturing their very own Holodomor as the world looks on…

To me, it’s why Right to Repair laws are incredibly necessary. Repair parts, manuals, everything needed to operate and maintain a sold product should be mandated as “must be available to buy from the patent-holder, or the patent expires and the part is legal for anyone to manufacture”.

Netanyahu just full-on pushing Israel into a regional war to stay in power. Sadly, the US is probably going to help him.

Can’t wait to see the Israel apologists start arguing that Israel flattening city blocks in other countries is justified, but other countries attacking Israel in response at all, is evil and unjust. Looks like at least one is already here…

I think that it just makes it super easy to condemn anyone you dislike. Anyone can be matched to one or more of the behavioral indicators for NPD, individually, because many of them are just regular human behaviors. Selfishness, callousness, anger, egotism, not taking criticism well, etc, are all normal things to experience, and everyone does them, so if you want to condemn someone you can just subjectively and selectively label instances of that behavior as being an indicator of NPD, ignoring any absent or incongruous patterns or criteria.

MS doesn’t realize how close they are to being disposable to gamers. If a few more game companies made their catalogs linux-native, they’d be toast.

Lots of people would be shocked just how many games offer linux-native binaries, not just windows ones that work with proton.

My cyberdeck components are far less important than workers’ rights. Strike!

Armed with more of his infamous maps of the Middle East, the right-wing leader went on to claim that “Israel seeks peace,” while also pledging to wage war on Hamas-governed Gaza until “total victory” and telling “the tyrants of Tehran” that “if you strike us, we will strike you.”

Shockingly, they are real.

You think that their cruelty only manifests towards women, LGBT people, children, POC, and migrants? Nope! They also relish the opportunity to inflict pain on animals. It’s also much more legal to kill animals, so when they get that hankerin’…

I mean, obviously? It’s over. You don’t leave your Christmas decorations up until next time 'round either.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: plastics are going to be the leaded-gasoline of our generation(s)

I’m glad it sank, because no one needs to have attack submarines, but hopefully no one was hurt.

It seems odd for it to be out of dry dock if it wasn’t complete?

Nice to see a court get it right for once, though I suppose they could ignore their advisor.

Cool? It was surfaced in a port.

Finding them when they’re docked in plain view isn’t the hard part, when it comes to submarine detection.

How can you have a “positive problem” with something? That seems like an oxymoron.

When it’s being employed properly, it’s absolutely an important tool, but the way they’re presented to most users, such as on-device biometric data stores (e.g. Apple’s secure enclave, or a TPM verification), aren’t the proper implementations. Nor is using biometrics as your primary auth method.

It’s supposed to be “something you have and something you know and something you are”, not “have or know or are”.

NIST standards for biometrics require the biometric data be stored on a secure remote server, and that the scanner device check against that during auth. Putting the biometric data on the device means that you’re losing a big part of your non-repudiation.

And it’s even worse when you’re using a secondary factor (biometric) as your primary or only factor (e.g. a phone unlock), that grants access to your other factors like password store and OTP tokens.

Biometrics are never supposed to be a single-factor auth method when used properly, but that’s how most people use them now, and it degrades their security.

If your phone requires a passcode, a TOTP grant, and a biometric scan, by all means, please do employ biometrics, but if it’s going to be your only factor, DO NOT.

Or, for simplicity to the average forum reader:

Never use biometrics. It’s just not worth the tradeoffs.

SF has the same general issue: there are a bunch of rich NIMBYs, old people, and closet conservatives who band together to elect center-right neolibs and cops.

There are tons of games that are playable on smartwatches. Apart from that, there are a lot of single watch-games from the past. McDonalds and BurgerKing have also had a lot of watches with games or toys, as well.

Tamagotchi watches came back in 2021, which is one great option.

There are a ton of retro LCD video game watches out there, but they can be pretty pricey.

Never use biometrics. It’s just not worth the tradeoffs.

When you are a member of a safe, advantaged group, and this choice is being made wholly voluntarily, I 100% agree (and am myself “childfree”).

But telling a group that is under attack that they should not have kids is just furthering that group’s diminishment. Once Israel isn’t trying to wipe out Palestinians, and their survival isn’t at stake, and they can make that choice without duress, then it’s fair. Until then, this just seems to inherently create an argument that any group that is under threat should let itself die out rather than struggle on.

Why would you have them in the first place when they aren’t likely to have an enjoyable life?

Making a personal choice is one thing. Telling people that they shouldn’t, based on their socioeconomic situation, is entirely another. “Survival of the wealthiest” is not an ideology I can conclude to be moral.

Oh no! Anyways…
