Hezbollah is a political party as well as a paramilitary group. What if Canada did this to The Oath Keepers or CSPOA or The Proud Boys or another group in the US? They’re all objectively bad people, buy only a few have committed terrorist attacks. Do they all and the people who happen to be around them deserve to die by a foreign government’s actions?
But this only works if you know the identity of every member of the organization, which is impossible, again making this a terror campaign and not a targeted attack. And you have to detonate them all at once or people will throw away the devices. You can’t wait for the 100,00 people who belong to the organization to have just unlocked their devices all at once.
Probably because when he was a child and asked for help, he was told to “man up”. So now that he’s a man, asking for help would mean he’s not a man.
This isn’t about image or ideology for Putin, though he definitely can’t afford to lose face either. This has always been about proving he could have won the cold war if people had just listened to him. This involves returning direct control, or at least very close alliances with his pawns in charge, with all of the former USSR territories. And winning against the West, though I’m not sure what criteria he has on that side of things besides bringing the US under his indirect control which he’s half way there.
There are tons of these Christian cults around all over the world. People just ignore them because they think Christianity is “one of the good ones”. But they ignore the fact that it has all the same bad things they complain about from other religions and it just takes a leader to emphasize those bad things to convince people those things are “good” because everything in a “good book” from a “good god” must be right and good. It would really help if the people who keep pushing for Bible classes in schools would actually read the whole thing.
Good news in furthering Postgres adoption I guess. I mean most stuff was going that way anyway, but this will likely speed things up.
If you’re using a recent version of Chrome, Google has stunted the capabilities of many ad blockers. Suggest using another browser and/or using something that catches this stuff before it gets to your browser like a properly configured pihole. Otherwise, configure your ad blockers more aggressively, especially for sites that are less likely to screen their ads.
Lower taxes is good for home owners, too. It’s only those wanting to profit from housing prices in the short term who are hurt. The prices will go back up and as long as you are selling and then buying if you move, and the prices are going down across the board, you won’t lose anything.
The only negative really other than for investors is for retirees who need to sell to have money to survive.
And I say this as someone who purchased a home in an overpriced area a couple of years ago. The value has slightly declined and I’d love to see it further decline so I could pay less in taxes. In 15 or 20 years when I’m ready to sell it will be plenty valuable.
I think most devs even only have worked in software companies that sell software where devops isn’t as critical and complex since there’s not “production” environments. When you work for a company who makes software for themselves and/or hosts software from other companies themselves, devops is a much bigger deal. Even moreso if it’s a heavily regulated industry like healthcare. Most other companies don’t spend much on devops or even often make the developers do that work themselves.
The pant is illegal because it’s cheap to grow yourself, but if you let some drug companies make money off of processing it, then it’s perfectly fine to use…
The overhead and performance hit aren’t worth it for me in general since these browsers are set up to enforce secure connections as long as you don’t override it. And I don’t have to worry about government level website filtering. I do see the value in tunnels for stopping the ISPs from tracking and selling the list of sites you connect to, but I’d rather set up my own proxy for that if I felt it was worth it. It’s easy enough to set up a web proxy on a small, cheap, remote VPS or pay for a trustworthy service with no logging so the ISP would just see that connection and it would be way faster. I don’t see much value in using a Tor browser otherwise anymore now that HTTPS is ubiquitous and secure DNS exists, unless you want to access things not on the public web.
Or you realize it’s not “intelligent” like the marketing suggests and realize it is eating tons of resources at almost all companies by being incapable of accurately doing the things it’s being used for (mostly to replace employees). So you are waiting, impatiently, for the buzz to fade so that executives wasting time and money on it will allow that money to be spent on more substantial needs, like hiring people.
LibreWolf on desktop and Mull on Android. Basically Firefox with a little more privacy.
Be autistic and you probably won’t get used to accents…lol. One of my traits is the inability to form habits or “get used to” things in general.
I have a similar relationship with “Dancer in the Dark” whenever I get around to it. I always cry…

Right, trade deals, not genocide deals.
COVID, MAGA, Q Anon, support by poor people for defunding of schools and infrastructure even as bridges collapse and water systems are becoming poisonous while supporting building new tactical nuclear weapons that the country doesn’t even have a use for unless the intend to start nuking Mexico which would mean more refugees, not fewer…etc.
I’m not sire what you’re replying to. My comment was that using smart phones wouldn’t be effective in the way you mentioned. Relying on people 100,000 people that belong to Hezbollah to unlock their phones all at the same time to verify that’s who is holding the device. There is no possible way to make an attack like this targeted. It would always result in a large percentage of innocent casualties no matter what you do. The only use for it is a terrorist attack, which is what this was.
