“There is a growing assessment in the security establishment that the terrorists who carried out the massacre on October 7 did not know in advance about the Nova festival held near Kibbutz Ra’im, and decided to come to the place after discovering that a mass event was taking place there. The security system’s assessment relies, among other things, on the investigations of the terrorists and the investigation of the incident by the police, from which it appears that the terrorists intended to reach Kibbutz Ra’im and nearby kibbutzim. According to a police source, an investigation into the incident also revealed that an IDF combat helicopter that arrived at the scene from the Ramat David base fired at the terrorists and apparently also hit some of the revelers who were there. According to the police, 364 people were killed at the festival.”

As usual, both, like most US Presidents are war criminals if we go by the International Definition. If you can see it objectively, which many Americans may have trouble doing so.
Bush’s actions ended up killing 4+ million in the Middle East, along with the creation of ISIS. Extra ironic points since the USA gave billions to the Mujahideen, back in the day, funding a young Osama Bin Ladden, so they could wage a civil war against the Afghanistani goverment during their civil war. Because the goverment was leaning communist at the time. Seen those photos where Afghanistani women wore western clothing in the late 70’s? The USA helped get rid of that by giving money to the religious zealots.
Obama murdered the most people via drone attacks in history. Mostly on Pakistan and Afghanistan at the time. Including whole families and children. Also, he pardon/freed Bushed from liability the moment he took office. If I recall.
I started some time ago using a teddit frontend with local subscriptions, and at some point it was hard for the one I picked to keep up, then I moved to libreddit, at that time libredd.it, then it stopped working and moved to libreddit.spike.codes, but it seems it stopped working as well, and finally I moved to libreddit...
I’m so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?
Use uBlock. Either with a list or learn to use the selector tool to remove the overlays/scripts directly. That is what I do for the GF’s PC so she can watch YT.
Edit: It looks like an eyedrop tool. So it might also be called that.
And as they should. This myopia towards the war crimes the IDF and the Israeli government are doing has got to stop. Many Israelis over there agree. The Western media just ain’t covering it.
Bibi fucked up and he is trying to save himself by going big and trying to remove the Gazans from their land. Hoping it will save him down the road. Let’s not forget that he is facing some serious issues and allegations at home.
If you are good at navigating the web on uBlock Medium Mode, and are okay doing the initial “troubleshooting,” to unbreak first time visits to websites, then you probably do not need it. I mean, most trackers won’t run without JS. Also, on Medium mode, you get to see most ad companies’ domains which you can then just block Globally. You can also use uBlock’s selector tool to remove specific parts of a webpage. I find that I use it a lot to remove cookie prompts and others, like YT prompts. So I can use it without having to sign on and remove the anti-adblock prompts.
Albeit there is some overlap, I use still uBlock on Medium Mode along uMatrix since I need a bit more granular control on the sites I use. On top of LibreRedirect to avoid some of the biggest data miners.
I love how both Meta and YT will Barbara Streisand Ad Blockers into the spotlight. Most people do not use ad blockers and all these News will make them more aware of it.
They never wanted the whole of Ukraine. That was just our propaganda fear mongering. They simply do not want a super power next to their border or their weapons. Remember the USA almost started WW3 with the Cuban Missile crisis? Same thing, here.
They wanted a buffer State/area. The west of Ukraine absolutely hates Russia, they could have never been able to hold it. Ever. This was obvious, sans propaganda. I mean, they stated as such. Did you not read about the Minsk II agreements that the UK and the USA help sabotage? If Ukraine had gone along with it then, then tens of thousands of Ukrainians would still be alive. Along with Russians, I guess.
Only Mull is good on the FF side. On the Chrome side, use Thorium or Cromite, a fork of the for now dead Bromite.
Avoid Brave, Fennec and IceRaven are not hardened enough. Do not use FF, it dials home. Unless you do the user.js bit with ArkenFox.
As far as usability, but not the best privacy-wise, SmartCookieWeb Preview. Allow to use extensions like unlock just like you do on PC, with the popups at the ready. But it allows for the addons on the address bar.
The mission-driven tech company behind the Firefox browser, Pocket reader and other apps is now investing its energy into the so-called “fediverse” — a collection of decentralized social networking applications, like Mastodon, that communicate with one another over the ActivityPub protocol.
Like others have said, the Zuck probably thinks he can lawyer his way through it. He could try to bleed the company dry over a long set of proceedings, hoping they decide to settle, somehow.
Lula is outrageously corrupt. I mean, he lost power due to a massive government corruption scandal he was part of, that even his replacement was part eventually found to be involved in regarding Brazil’s largest gas company.
But hey, even broken clocks are right twice a day, and all that jazz.
Worth noting that the “whoops, those people are using humans as humans shields excuse so that makes it okay to bomb entire buildings, schools, religious places and killing ALL those people,” is also a war crime.
As per International Law and also Amnesty International, and if you do not want to be a monster, you cannot okay genocidal, free for all attacks like that on civilians.
Legally, they are not free to start killing civilians and think it is okay. Sure it makes it harder but it is NOT a valid excuse or remove them from liability to then just start killing civilians.
No historian or Lawyer sees the Dresden firebombing attacks in WW2 as not genocidal, even within the context and excuse of modern warfare. This is why there are still ongoing debates on the dropping of nuclear bombs on Japan, even 78+ years after the fact.
I am surprised no one calls the Israel Government or the IDF on such obvious bullshit line of thinking. And I say that having family in Israel. Having them there makes the situation nuanced and complex, but it does not turn me into a blind amoral idiot, either.
They also cannot claim to be the victims or the ones not into the position of power over the Palestinians when they can shut off, water, electricity and food at will and keep them in essentially open air prisons. The UN was correct to say that this did not happen in a vaccum. Yet Israel is trying to pretend as if they were wrong to say that and that we were all born 5 years ago.
The EU head was calling Russia war criminals when they cut off water, electricity and food to some Ukrainian areas but when Israel does it, they cannot trip over themselves hard enough trying to voice support and offer money. And some politicians will conflate and remove all nuance when people support the Palestinian causs and equate it with support for Hamas. Because of course they will.
If anything this has further educated me to see and point out who are the raging hypocrites.
Israel has said the “time has come to teach the United Nations a lesson” by banning UN officials from visiting the country – in a row over remarks from secretary-general Antonio Guterres that the deadly 7 October attack by Hamas “did not happen in a vacuum” and had to be seen in the context of decades of occupation of...
That’s rich of them to say when not only the UN helped form the country in the 40’s and that Israel has the largest number of Resolutions from the UN as they continuously go on breaking international Law. Due to their blatant illegal occupation.
Yet they will come begging for money and weapons to the world and the USA once they eventually run out. Problem is that countries give in too easily.
Also, read somewhere else that they are going to be using nerve gas to kill Hamas. No attempt at a peaceful resolution. Fuck that, just gas them. I have removed family members who are borderline cultish in their blind support for the IDF and they are horrible to be around when they get on that topic. No nuance, they just repeat all the talking points. Over and over. Just pure myopia.
If you can, watch the documentary the Lobby. To see how Israel tries to undermine governments for support. In that case the UK.
They are lying, or to be more exact, lying by omission. Of course there is bone density differences, on top of the obvious skeletal ones. The “hormones will change their muscles,” is a red herring. Muscle fiber density remains unchanged, drugs or no drugs, all they have to do is go to the gym and they will develop musculature that is different to actual women. This is why they seem to olpy focus on “muscle mass,” over muscle fiber density. No way they do not know the difference.
Not to mention that the argument that we should okay giving developing children/teens hormones is also a false argument. Since when are we okay risking chemically castrating children? Which will either affect them biologically and/or mentally during such important time of their lives. There is next to 0% objective research on the subject. Despite what proponents would like people to believe. For feelings does not equate empirical research.
So is centre of gravity, and other factors, that can play a role in sports. Men will always develop more upper body strenght over women. They are cherry picking arguments hoping that most people who do not know a lot of Human Anatomy will fall for it. In order to gain public opinion. It’s underhanded, or at least it looks like it.
Hell, even skin elasticity and skin patterns are different between men and women.
Ursula literally went ahead and meet with Israeli officials behind the backs of the other 27 Reps and without their knowledge. Uncontrolled is stating mildly.
It is so outrageous and against protocol’ that now I do not know if she is a massive fan or a plant. Perhaps her donors may have appreciated it.
I still use ES-Filemanger. The last version before all the BS crap was added onto it and before they sold it to Cheetah. Even until this day, it is the best I have found that has a lot of tools and it that it is free.
That is what I am using now. Seems as the most robust out of the bunch. Tried a number, most felt like simple wrappers. Eternity feels like it has far more features, as an app. So far.
Waiting for a RedReader based implementation. Hopefully.
Yeah, Izzy seems very active, helpful and proactive about his project. I see him come in and out Issue comments on Github projects. Definitely and dare I say, that he is committed.
Don’t know if developer is still supporting it or not…but do you think there’s a way let search of a city been showed in the search bar to use organic maps directions?
Directions? Do not know. In fact, I am not using KISS launcher, I use a fork of it called TinyBit Launcher, by one of the main contributors. It does not support Directions either but you can find locations easily, which then you can click on the Directions options once the app opens.
Just need to locally call OM as the app to open via the launcher’s search field You can do that adding your own search query under KISS and selecting it as the search you want to do for said query. I do the same on TinyBit. It has worked for me.
Name it whatever you want “OM Search,” or whatever. Syntax for the query is:
