  • The femine in Yemen has been going for much longer and is a direct consequence of Saudi Arabia’s actions. It has cost more life’s than the Israeli Palestinian conflict, too.

    The UAE are financing the RSF militia in Sudan, which is responsible for the ongoing genocide in Darfur.

    With all justified condemnation of Israel, let’s not forget that there are far bigger and far worse actors in the region.

    The occupation of the Palestinians must end. There must be a Palestinian state. But the plight of the Palestinians has been receiving so much attention that it’s very easy to ignore that there are far bigger crises happening, that for some reason are being ignored.














  • Breaking up monopolies is a good thing, and Google arguably holds too much power. Chromium is being used in 70% of browsers, and the decision how to implement and develop web standards are all in the hand of one for profit company, which had little interest in keeping things open and accessible (and private).

    A quote from this Register article sums it up nicely:

    What we are forced to assume in turn is that Chrome is built by the professional developers working for an ad agency with the primary goal of building a web browser that serves the needs of other professional developers working for the ad agency’s prospective clients.




  • Sure, that’s a fair opinion. I just don’t share it. I wouldn’t have known about this video in the first place. Also I don’t care to use AI summaries.

    Coincidentally I was also a fan of the described functionality on batteries and I have used it gladly and without hurting myself. So that clearly makes me different from the vast majority of people here in the comments.

    I may have been just as happy with the original article the video is based on, who knows. But since that wasn’t shared here I preferred this one over the video.
