It does not distinguish between civilians and fighters, but a majority of the 34,344 dead can be identified as civilians based on age and gender alone. It includes 11,355 children, 2,955 people aged 60 or older, and 6,297 women. There are also many civilian men of fighting age who have been killed.

Israel claims it has killed 17,000 militants, without providing evidence. It does not provide an estimate of civilians killed in Gaza.

There are only 13,107 of the dead who could be men of working age, so Israel’s claim of 17,000 militants killed is very unlikely to be true unless Hamas fighters include a lot of women, children and old people, or unless Israel is saying it knows it has killed very many more people than reported.

Some people use computers for more demanding things. For anyone who just uses the computer for web browsing, email and watching videos, anything but the most feeble machine from the past decade or more will be fine.

He’s like one of those impossible staircases that goes downhill forever.

Some people love a challenge I guess. No disrespect to Haiku.

Israel has shown again and again that it doesn’t care how many civilians it kills. Like any fascist state, it wears its lack of compassion with pride.

I fully believe there are Jewish people who are against this. However, the history books will focus on the acts of the IDF and not the vocal minority.

Minority of what? There are polls of Jews in the UK and USA that show a majority disapproving of Israel’s current government.

Also, software still kind of sucks. It’s better than it was, but we need to improve it, the bloat is just barely being handled by silicon gains.

The incentives are all wrong for this, except in FOSS. It’s never going to be a priority for Microsoft because everyone is used to the (lack of) speed of Windows, and “now a bit faster!” isn’t a great marketing line. And it’s not in the interests of hardware companies that need to keep shifting new boxes if the software doesn’t keep bogging each generation down eventually. So we end up stuck with proprietary bloatware everywhere.

Israel has used exploding phones too.

Yes, I went up to a 5950x a while back from a 3600 for the same reason: it was the best CPU I could get without upgrading motherboard and RAM. And I hardly ever play games. Looking at the performance benchmarks it seems the X3D stuff actually slows down non-gaming workloads a bit (perhaps because it increases temperatures), so I don’t feel the need to chase after that tech.

They do still seem to be making advances in single-core performance, but whether it matters to most people is a different question. Most people aren’t using software that would benefit that much from these generation-to-generation performance improvements. It’s not going to be anywhere near as noticeable as when we went from 2 or 4 cores to 8, 16, 24, etc.

I wonder whether they exploded exactly at the same time. If so, it seems less likely it would have been an attack via the batteries since you wouldn’t expect them all to heat up and explode at the exact same rate.

The 5950X is now pretty midrange when it comes to some desktop benchmarks, but mine is still serving me well and I don’t feel I’m hitting the limits of the CPU. If I were shopping now I’d certainly find that price appealing for what it offers. I’m not considering Intel these days, but the price premium on latest-generation AMD CPUs is high.

“She has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred,” the organization said.

Thunberg, 21, was arrested on September 4 while demonstrating with Students Against the Occupation, who called on Copenhagen University to cut ties with Israel, including climate change programs. StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez condemned Thunberg, accusing her of prioritizing hatred for Israel over environmental activism despite Israel’s efforts on climate action.

“Sadly, Greta’s hatred of the world’s only Jewish nation eclipses her love of the environment. …”

Well would you look at that: they make no distinction between demanding the university cut ties with Israel, “hatred for Israel”, “hatred of the world’s only Jewish nation” and “vile Jew-hatred”. So for them there’s no gap between asking for pressure to stop Israel’s active genocide and hating all Jews. It’s so absurd and such a blatant attempt at political gaslighting they don’t deserve to be taken seriously.

Well, that’s a little bit of a relief. But only a little bit.

Just today I have read about Republicans calling immigrants “animals” and “illegal human locusts,” and now Trump is calling for a “final solution” to the “Immigrant Problem.” This is straight up Nazism, right out in the open, and we’ll all suffer if they are given power.

Because they have undue power over our lives.

Come on, it’s not like she murdered someone rich.

I really don’t understand your use of “far left” here.
