  • it’s not controversial, what is controversial is what is being defined as genocide. Classic mischaracterization.

    Now i’m not going to get into the immediate debate about whether or not this is an active genocide or not, because frankly, not my fucking problem.

    what i will get into is the commonly accepted definition of genocide, which is in past tense. It’s also commonly used to specifically denote a certain ethnicity, which considering that israel is indiscriminately bombing, i’m not sure how much that applies. I feel like considering palestinian an ethnicity would be like considering a US state to be an ethnicity as well. Though i’m sure there is historical merit to that statement, the complexities of it are not something i’m intimately familiar with so i won’t say much on it.

    Regardless, I think palestine is realistically entitled to it’s own nation, i see no reason for it not to be. Israel, arguably is also entitled to it’s own nation, i see no reason for it not to be either.

    It’d be cool if israel and hamas stopped committing war crimes, but considering that this is a war in the middle east, i don’t know when that will happen.





  • since people are yelling about it.

    It’s probably not blatantly bypassing security and privacy features, what it is PROBABLY doing is using the user to bypass them by simply manipulating them to do it.

    Social engineering is way easier than whatever bullshit you would need to do to bypass sandboxing and dynamically recompile, or whatever people are claiming, and my guess would be that this is what they’re doing.

    If the suit is claiming they are doing what i said, that’s probably legal, and not going anywhere, unless tiktok ban bill 2.0. If the suit is claiming what others are claiming, it’s still probably wrong and probably going to be tiktok ban bill 2.0.

    Unfortunately these things aren’t all that exciting at the end of the day.





  • i want to see the value in webdev, but the more i interact with websites and shit based on platforms like electron, the more i just want it to be fucking dead. It’s such a useless shit hole.

    Fun fact, the linux discord binary seems to have a particular issue where you can bring up the “electron menu” but for some reason the base version of electron discord is using has disabled the ability to remove the menu, so if you hit alt + f, h, t, e or some shit like that, i’m pulling these out of my ass for demonstration here, it brings up a menu that you literally can’t remove.

    But don’t worry, because you actually can remove it you just have to bump it into fullscreen, which disables the menu, and then back out, where it’ll still be disabled, because thankfully, it’s too much of a shitfuck program to have any form of consistency

    not to mention how unstable it is, how shitty it performs, and how ram hungry it is because it’s literally a sandboxed chromium browser, which we call a “program”
