200 was an arbitrary number

It was not of any significance to the point I was trying to make

The IDF will bomb a hospital and kill 200 people

NYT article will say something like “200 Dead after bombs drop near a place, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.”

They phrase everything so carefully.
Like the bombs were some sort of natural disaster and not an intentional military strike on civilians.

They always append “Hamas run health ministry”, to imply the information can’t be reliable, because it’s from a US-designated terrorist organisation

The Israeli media will say “We killed 300 Palestinians”

I stole this from the other thread

A kernel, in computing terms, is the computer program that sits between applications and the hardware, facilitating their interactions.

This is the GNU/Linux operating system’s kernel (the part that is technically Linux) showing its architecture.

The columns represent the areas of functionality the kernel offers, the rows (from top to bottom) representing the level of abstraction from the hardware.

From the top; user space, where users barely have to think about the hardware enabling their applications. To the bottom; the hardware itself and the interfaces that enable the kernel to talk to them.

The lines represent the relationships between the various Linux kernel functions and structures - the text - that interact with one another directly.

The diagram is interactive in the sense that you can click the functions/structures and be taken to relevant resources to help a Linux kernel developer navigate the humongous amount of code that comprises the kernel, to accelerate debugging etc.

This diagram has been continuously developed for well over 15 years at this point and is somewhat iconic in the Linux world as it makes tangible the kernel and its thousands upon thousands of lines of code which I doubt any one developer has or could read and comprehend as a whole without the use of tools like this map.

It’s mostly on the right, so it can’t be too hard to pin down

But have you considered the fediverse?

Also, we’re neglecting to mention the fediverse as well as the fediverse

Why did my walls and floorboards start speaking Turkish to each other after reading this

From my experience and expertise, Ambien. Man’s gonna get a knock on the door from the walrus any second now.

right-angle plugs are often better than straight ones because you can put furniture closer up against them and do so without stressing the cable.

Yeah that is definitely a huge bonus. I’ve taken it for granted.

We’re slowly adopting three pronged Italian/Chilean-type plugs that will be “backwards-compatible” with the EU plugs. I have no clue about polarity or anything like that.

New sockets include em. The original three pronged socket is kind of a hazard. Kids can stick their fingers in there. Not sure how that got approved.

Allows you to remove power from the plugged in device without unplugging it. This provides convenience to easily and quickly turn things on and off and prevents arcing when unplugging.

That’s exactly what I do, because it’s more convenient than unplugging everything.

I live in South Africa, where we had rolling blackouts (called loadshedding) for a few years. It’s easier to switch everything back on when the power comes back than to plug it back into a socket without a switch, especially with my fucked up spine.

The electricity in the place I live was done poorly, so having something plugged in “live” risks a surge or something and then the appliance gets fucked and then everything smells like burnt plastic.

And that’s the best case scenario. Others have had housefires.

Also, the South African plugs aren’t pleasant accidentally to step on. It won’t pierce your foot, but it can still hurt like a motherfucker for a few seconds if you step on it in the wrong way.

Those UK plugs do look a lot more nasty to step on. I shudder at the thought.

I like the EU and US two prong cables ( 🔌?) where the prongs are parallel to the cable, but not the cables with the orthogonal prongs.

IT AGAIN NOW

I like to make an exception for Lemmy though. This fediverse decentralised “”“darkweb-lite”“” stuff is cool af

Gives me child-like excitement

In South Africa, where I live, everyone is assigned an ID Number at Birth. You need an ID number, thumbprint scan AND proof of address to get issued a SIM card number due to a law introduced called RICA. It was meant to help fight crime. Worried that the government could listen in to calls or read their SMSs, the criminals just switched to WhatsApp, which also happened to become cheaper than SMSs and gained popularity in this time.

The cops never seemed to crack WhatsApp. The only drug busts that happen are when an open secret becomes laughably too open and when they harass every person arriving from South America at O.R. Tambo international airport just to catch the decoy mules carrying 12g of cocaine (total). Every dealer I ever organised with was over WhatsApp.

So now, woopsi, RICA stopped nothing and just became a liability. That treasure trove of fragile data made its way to scammers and spammers. A total net negative.

I’d encourage everyone else in other countries to apply major pushback to any government proposals in this direction.

The only ads I get are from temu vaguely aligned with my interests
