Israel will not stop war until Palestinians displaced from Gaza and Syria partitioned, minister says

My guess is that they believe leaving the Hamas alive is equivalent to allowing their territory be attacked again in the future. They want this war to be The Last One™ so thay don't have to further spend military resourses in the future doing the same thing again.

The article doesn't even show an example of a finished Frankenstein laptop. 😑

Interesting... That's exactly Trump's discourse from 2020 when he refused to admit defeat to Biden. Back then this attitude was parroted as "a threat to democracy". Now, in 2025, it's fair game saying his government is illegitimate?

Hamas' School of Human Shields is quickly producing new graduates, it seems...


Sorry, English is not my first language. What I meant is that some may see him as wacky and irreverent.

What I see is Elon haters clinging to this salute as if it's the one silver bullet that will somehow make him lose Trump's or the Republicans' support. But their insistence on this is like preaching to the choir, as right-wingers simply don't care—some even like Elon more for being gutsy.
If that's all they've got on Elon, then he's sure to keep his job at DOGE. And Trump is laughing all the way to the bank, as the anti-Elon sentiment shields him from criticism, as social media's attention is mostly spent on Elon instead of Trump.

People voted for this "dismantling". If you ask, Trump voters seem pretty satisfied on this regard.

Elon and Trump's actions are indeed more nationalist, but we should not confuse it with nazism, that had nationalism as one of its traits but was much more than that. The genocidal part is what makes them evil, not the nationalism part.
If we take seriously the notion that nationalism = nazism, then China would qualify.

People will see what they want to see. Even if Elon discovered the cure to all types of cancer, people would still nitpick anything about him to justify their hate.

He bent his whole body to give a salute. It was quite off-center and awkward, not really like the nazi salute as seen on historical videos of Hitler, which is a much more deliberate and aligned hand motion in relation to the body. If Elon time traveled to Hitler rallies and did this salute, he'd be reprimanded for doing it all wrong.

Yeah, because if he's indeed a nazi, he's pretty incompetent at converting people into nazism. Some politicians such as Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris have done a hand gesture that resembles the nazi salute in their political rallies, but nobody at the time screamed they were dog whistling nazi symbology. Raising one's hand to salute the audience is just a natural gesture, not some intricate gesture that's exclusive to a bonafide nazi apologist.

That's also hugely in part because Apple develops Webkit at a snails pace. Some say they gimp their own rendring engine so that it isn't competitive with native applications from the App Store. This way, there's less incentive for developers to make web-apps to avoid the 30% app store tax.

I use Firefox as my main browser on Android, and all apps that invoke a WebView do so using Firefox's rendering engine, with uBlock Origin and Dark Reader working seamlessly. So, maybe this info about Firefox for Android lacking WebView support is outdated?
Exemple after clicking a link on Twitter/X:


You never know what the political world has in store. Before Alexandre de Moraes, doing blatant preventive censorship was unthinkable. When he made this practice into the "new normal", he radicalized the right even more, and they might turn to dirty tricks to get to him.

Any flavor that would send Alexandre de Moraes to the jail cell, his rightful place.

Brazil's dictator-judge Alexandre de Moraes only had free reign last year to do what he did because the US used to have a living corpse as the president. Now, with Orange-Man-Bad as president, I don't know if the same judge would have the guts to block X nationwide again. Especially with Trump showing he's not afraid to impose tariffs on a whim. And it's also apparent that Trump hears what Elon has to say, and Elon is hungry for revenge. The judge only needs to step out of the line for Elon to retaliate.



From The Verge article:
"Twitter says that it doesn’t know why the data suggests its algorithm favors right-leaning content, noting that it’s “a significantly more difficult question to answer as it is a product of the interactions between people and the platform.” However, it may not be a problem with Twitter’s algorithm specifically — Steve Rathje, a Ph.D. candidate who studies social media, published the results of his research that explains how divisive content about political outgroups is more likely to go viral.
The Verge reached out to Rathje to get his thoughts about Twitter’s findings. “In our study, we also were interested in what kind of content is amplified on social media and found a consistent trend: negative posts about political outgroups tend to receive much more engagement on Facebook and Twitter,” Rathje stated. “In other words, if a Democrat is negative about a Republican (or vice versa), this kind of content will usually receive more engagement.”
If we take Rathje’s research into account, this could mean that right-leaning posts on Twitter successfully spark more outrage, resulting in amplification."
In other words: it's not the algorithm that favors one side of the polical spectrum. It's just that right-wing users know how to make more engaging posts. And that is dispite being sabotaged by moderation policies that favors left-leaning views.

I don't know the specifics of this South African law, but isn't it basically punishing today's landowners for the wrongs of their ancestors? And they're taking over land without compensation? That's nuts! Here in my country, land is only expropriated without payment when the owner uses it for illegal drugs like marijuana.
