If the defense of a new source is, “but they barely distorted the facts,” do you really need further clarification?
Truth-Out notorious for this kind of thing.
I should have been a farmer.
Absolute lowest quality journalism allowed on this website. Of course, people are happy to post it repeatedly as long as it conforms with their worldview.
But it is run by Hamas, just so we are clear.
But the current outage is different. It was sparked by a breakdown at one of the country’s aging electrical stations and has affected every facet of life for ordinary people: They cannot cool or light their homes, food is spoiling in refrigerators, they cannot cook, and many can’t access water to drink or wash.
That’s exactly right. Users will have to purchase phones on credit like we do for every other major (and sometimes minor) purchase. This doesn’t change the relationship between carriers and their customers at all. It only changes their accounting.
This is the first such prime that was discovered using GPU cloud computing. It’s not just an incredible new discovery, but also a demonstration of what this type of hardware network may be capable.
Following this thread because I think it’s one of the very interesting unanswered questions about federation.
It’s a very stable, reliable, local, cross-platform file syncing that is pretty easy to set up. Basically, it allows you to have a shared folder (or folders) on multiple devices without using Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud, etc.
Oh No! This is terrible news. This IMHO is one of the most irreplaceable projects out there. I don’t know of another cross-platform local file syncing app that comes anywhere close to this. I hope that it can continue even if it’s not through the Play Store.
Google seems to be torpedoing open source developments with a number of decisions lately. Maybe they see F-Droid as a threat now that EU is making them open competition? Maybe they just don’t care.
Breaking news, obvious scam is a scam.
In most cases, it’s probably safe, but ask a lawyer. Led Zeppelin has a bunch of songs about Lord of the Rings.
Probably the most famous example is Barbie Girl. The musical group Aqua created the song and was sued by Mattel. The toy company won the rights of the song because it was specifically using their product IP. They referenced specific features of the toy line, including the names of Barbie and Ken. Mattel was able to demonstrate that the song harmed their IP. That was the key feature IIRC. In the end, I think that it was ruled that the song was clearly a parody. So any harm that was caused, people would not assume was connected with the real-world toy.
Honestly, the best treatment of this was in the pre-streaming world with the “next time on Arrested Development.”
The running joke is that they would pretty much never happen, except once in a while when they did.
Even George Bush Jr. understood the concept of “you break it, you bought it.” It is clear that Netanyahu sent troops into Gaza with no consideration for either 1) How basic needs like food, water and shelter would be provided to impacted civilians, or 2) What system of leadership would maintain order in Gaza following the war.
War crimes are war crimes whether they are by design or by incompetence. Israelis who are protesting the war rightly point out that this is not making Israel any safer, nor leading to the release of hostages, nor the return of the more than 100,000 internally displaced Israelis.
Truth Out is notoriously low quality journalism that routinely, distorts the facts, or misrepresents them. This article is yet another example.
