    The bloody lights everyone is obsessed with nowadays caused me numerous nights of shit sleep. Some devices designed by companies who clearly think too much of themselves decided that they would keep their LEDs on despite the computer shutting down.

    If anyone else is experiencing this issue, look for ErP in your BIOS/EFI and then turn it on/enable it.

    Caveat: you won’t be able to charge your USB devices using your PC USB ports while the PC is shutdown if you change this setting.


  • I feel kind of lame saying so, but I just use Kate for taking notes.

    I only realised it was supposed to be for editing code when it gave me a debug error when I wrote something with parentheses (what do you mean there’s an error in line 43!? That sentence makes perfect sense!)
















  • I’m sorry? Were we talking about whether Western media was biased towards Israel? Are we now discussing the etymology of the word ‘bias’?

    Frankly, I’m not interested in playing your game. We are taking about headlines? The headlines by and large are in opposition to Israel, which contradicts the ludicrous claim of the OP.

    I refuse to play sneaky games to switch the dialogue elsewhere. The articles I provided were legitimately as unbiased as I could think of (Duckduckgo, search term ‘Israel Lebanon Conflict’, in a private tab, English language, consecutive order). They were definitively NOT in support of Israel, which contradicts the silly claim of the OP.

    I accept that most people will refuse to see the nonsensical silliness of the OP’s argument. I’m not interested in discussing blame and where it should be directed.


  • Bullshit.

    It’s easy to cherry pick articles to generate a false narrative by navigating to the most conservative outlets.

    Why don’t you try and search any popular search engine for ‘Israel Lebanon News’ in a private browser (to remove yourself from a browser bubble) and then try to claim that the wording in Western headlines favours Israel. All I see, in consecutive order of search results is: ‘Israel launches first airstrike…’, ‘Israel forces open fire in Lebanon…’, ‘UN troops patrol Israel-Lebanon border…’, ‘Lebanon deploys army on 2nd day…’, ‘Israel fires on Southern Lebanon…’, ‘Israel conducts first strike on Lebanon’.

    Note that 4 of these portray Israel as the antagonist, 1 is neutral, and 1 portrays Lebanon as the antagonist.


  • What?

    I only see articles constantly, incessantly, calling out Israel for being the incarnation of evil in the most biased one-sided hypocritical manner possible. I honestly couldn’t say the last time I read an article that was even slightly biased in favour of Israel.

    One of these days, I wouldn’t mind reading one of these alleged ‘Western headlines’ (naturally, that is, not in a cherry-picked screenshot), if for nothing else than for a change in perspective. Personally, I don’t really have strong opinions either way in the Israel-Hamas-Hezbollah conflict, though I sympathise for all the innocent victims. I truly wish for a return to the Journalistic Creed though; journalists should deliver factual information in as non-biased manner as possible, they shouldn’t be acting as politicians trying to manipulate people by twisting words to build their narrative.

    Absolutely sick of reading nonsensical trash like this. Only a fucking blind idiot would believe that ‘Western media’ as a matter of course favours Israel. I guarantee, for every 1 ‘Western’ headline supporting Israel, there’ll be a dozen others decrying them.
