What Hamas has done is horrendous and undefendable but there’s no military solution to removing extremism. They’ll just end up killing many more civilians than Hamas has murdered and cementing the next generation of extremists.
Israel will likely be able to crush Hamas as an organization but I doubt anything better will rise from its ashes. I’m certain it was Hamas’ goal to trigger such a reaction and with the escalation triggering a wider conflict.
Fund extremists to prevent the Palestinians from getting their shit together and making headway towards their own state and then act surprised when said extremists backfire hard.
And of course, it’s innocent civilians on both sides that pay the price.
It’s not arbitrary. Securing an OS today is a huge challenge and Microsoft wants to leverage this tech to facilitate this. New hardware supports it, a lot of older hardware supports it and they strongly encourage this as the new standard.
Yes it means some people won’t update without workarounds but they are setting a standard moving forward and for supported hardware, they were quite aggressive with the upgrade (I had to make sure the TPM was disabled in BIOS on a machine I didn’t wish to upgrade early on).
And many people and organizations rightfully protested the Iraq invasion. The French refusing to get into that part of the mess is how some idiots come up with the “freedom fries”.
I remember vividly thinking the US going all out into Afghanistan in retaliation was probably exactly what the terrorists wanted. I’m certain this applies to the current situation as well. Hamas is hoping to provoke Israel into going full throttle against and into Gaza with the intention of triggering a wider Jihad.
Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

In WWII things got fuzzy. Both Allies and Axis have admitted to using deception using enemy uniforms but the acceptable consensus (during end-of-war prosecution) seemed to be that as long as the troops wore their proper uniforms under their disguises and removed the false uniforms before doing the actual fight, it was acceptable.
Or at least American soldiers testified in favor of German special ops accused of espionage because they had done the same thing.
