I saw the article mentioned he had defended the Oct 7 attack so after some googling:

Soon after the 7 October Hamas attack – which killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, with about 240 kidnapped – Alareer caused outrage during a BBC interview by calling it “legitimate and moral” and “exactly like the Warsaw ghetto uprising”, the broadcaster said.

Yikes. Defending oct 7 was pretty fucked up move on his behalf but what Israel keeps doing is arguably worse. Both Hamas and Israel leadership need to be removed from this world…

It’s a very common word in other languages (Spanish) but my brain didn’t even process it correctly the first time I saw it in English lol

HN is a news aggregator where users can find and discuss the latest news and submit content on anything that gratifies one’s intellectual curiosity. YC alumni also post engineering, product, and design jobs on HN.

It has pretty interesting discussions most of the time, the comments are usually very technical, but you can find pretty much the average Lemmy/reddit type of stuff there.

Not quite a gadget but I bought a sleeping mask some years ago and it has definitely made sleeping much easier.

I used to struggle a lot to sleep and having total darkness helps a lot, so I recommend giving it a try.

I think it’s due to the stereotypes and the bad experiences, I’ve had pretty bad experiences with indians in gaming (racist, annoying, begging) and work (incompetent, corrupt, etc), but I’ve also seen that from other people with different backgrounds, more importantly though is that I’ve also seen some amazing tutorials in YouTube from Indian peeps and I’ve also found some great repos from Indian devs as well.

That sucks, I really enjoy when apps have more data to show.

Maybe if we flooded them with such tickets, they would finally see that it might be worth considering?

I’ve worked in customer support and most of the time these type of tickets just get a copy pasted response basically saying thanks for your feedback, kindly go fuck yourself.

If you want something that could be reviewed I’d suggest contacting their legal department or even their HR department. The other option is to look for individual employees emails and socials and just message them.

I recommend not doing any of these things though, because it can be quite annoying to deal with these types of requests, as you will likely not be the first person to suggest this.

I’d argue that actual systemic changes are required to not only punish, but also prevent these things from being allowed to happen.

I admit having free press that can report it is definitely a good step forward though… although now that I wanted to double check some facts on the article I see that it was just removed?

🤔 Can you check if it’s still available to you?

The state of Israel has been acting like a complete piece of shit against Palestine for so long, despite Jews suffering the tragedies of the Holocaust…

Earlier this year, the State Customs Service of Ukraine registered 653 cases of disappeared humanitarian cargo for military purposes. Some of the missing materials included plates for body armor, night vision devices, thermal imagers, drones, and military vehicles.

How the fuck are they “disappearing” military vehicles, having a whole third of the donations just vanish is really messed up.

Ukraine has got to get its shit together and really fight corruption in a more meaningful way.

I’ve had a good experience with YouTube comments but I feel they are pretty pointless as:

• there is no search function:Ctrl f only takes you so far as it just looks at what is currently present and sometimes even hidden by display more or within replies, it’s very annoying.

• people spam a lot and comments only load in batches: 10k comments in popular videos saying shit like ‘sir thank you sir, excellent tutorial, I didn’t understand anything but I like using React’.

• some comments get auto removed: if you want to post a workaround or some piece of code, it gets removed if there’s a link or link-looking structure.

I mostly comment on tech-related tutorials just to post a list of the issues I had and the solutions, from time to time I get pinged with more questions and people are generally grateful and sometimes other people mention better/easier workarounds.

I’ve seen people using dual apps (this tech has been out for several years by now) to have completely independent instances of an app such as whatsapp so that they can be online for say friends and family, but leave the other instance offline for work.

It’s also used a lot for cheating too 🥲

For anyone else that is curious:

Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) is the fastest-growing news agency covering Israel and the Jewish world. We provide news, briefs, features, opinions and analysis to 100 print newspapers and digital publications on a daily basis.

Phones can have double sims, and WhatsApp web (been out for years by now) can be used on any decent Desktop Browser, it can also be installed as a PWA and I think there is a WhatsApp Desktop version as well.

Why is this so downvoted? Lol

Didn’t a bunch of high profile congressmen or senators go to Russia on the 4th of July?

I’d go to universities all over the world and ask teachers and students to show me their projects and ideas to help society. There are some incredibly smart people out there that could change the world if we helped them.

I think they compare him to Trump because of the demagoguery and populism.

For women who assembled iPhones at a Foxconn plant in southern India, crowded dorms without flush toilets and food sometimes crawling with worms were problems to be endured for the paycheck.

Fucking disgusting

Next step might be to add some ads to paid version?

Yep:

Amazon is sticking ads in Prime Video shows and movies unless you pay more

Netflix with ads arrives
