a quick question to you : who do you think is responsible for the war (since 2014) ?
-
I think Israel is doing it wrong. After locking down Gaza, they should have organized supplies deliveries to Gaza and built temporary camps outside of Gaza to welcome temporarily displaced Gazans. Then, the Israeli military should have proceeded block by block, ordering habitants to leave via secure corridors and then be filtrated with serious background checks. Those determined not to be HAMAS or HAMAS sympathisers/supporters could then be temporarily sheltered in the camps, with full support by international NGO. Then the military would very thoroughly search the evacuated block, which would then be made a heavily guarded no man's land. Then the next block. When the guarded no man's land moves to the next block and frees up a safe block, its inhabitants could return, fully supported by international NGO, after maybe one or two months it took to clear their block. This method seems a no brainer, I'm puzzled as to why they didn't proceed like that, but then I know Nethanyahu's methods, which I despise.

JIB has always been good for me. I don't really understand the need for an off the shelf, just have JIB assemble one for you using midrange parts. JIB uses genuine parts and give warranty. Assembled PCs are better than off the shelf, which usually have proprietary parts in them and are more difficult to fix. -
EDGE is actually a good browser. It is fast, very RFC-compatible and way less resource hungry than Chrome, as well as way less intrusive to the user's privacy than Chrome. To support independent browsers and privacy, I suggest everyone should use Firefox.

I am going Full Bore, Full Steam Ahead, teaching on Linux, on my new box!
tgw replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in Linux
No, it will never come back to bite you, because the license is not pirated. It's most probably a disused OEM license from the EU market where reselling transferable licenses is a right that nobody can take from people. Microsoft is also one of the most straightforward and fair software companies I know when it comes to software licenses, especially for private persons. Their strategy has always been to be lax with private persons/ personal use because they want to hook as many people as possible to their product, as they will then also use it at their company. And while Microsoft had some weak moments, such as Win Vista, sigh... it certainly isn't lousy. Windows can just do so much more things for versatile power users such as myself that it's a no brainer to choose it as a personal OS. I like Linux, I use it on my file/media server, on my webservers, and I would also use Linux for basic office environment tasks, but not for my personal computer, because I want to do more with it. Ideally, I could imagine going dual boot to be able to use something like docker, NPM tools, compilers, etc. but current adequate laptops are rather pricey. -

Buy a Win 10 Pro license for about 5$ and then upgrade to Win 11 Pro for free. -

the longer the radio silence is, the higher the chances that everyone is trying to sweep that under the rug. my best guess is that the cop they disarmed didn't behave in a fully professional manner. it's pure speculation on my part, but seeing how there is zero news, I'd bet the police got their best brains together to find a face-saving way out.

Fears grow Trump's Truth Social is headed for bankruptcy as bills pile up: report
tgw replied to Scott's topic in World News
My fear is that Trump Social will be used to pay Trump's legal bills and to fund his campaign. What measures are in place to prevent people to invest in Trump Social and Trump filling his pockets with it ? I can imagine dozens of different ways how this could be done. -

to be expected. modern bridges are constructs that rely on tension and anchors, take one away and the whole thing collapses. -

Bangkok’s Airport Rail Link faces major maintenance
tgw replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
almost reads as if there was no maintenance contract for the line... -
We simply know too little to make a judgement about what happened. The video does not support the assault story, especially considering the photos taken just after a couple of backup cops arrived, the guys just stand around the motorcyles, the police too. if the guys were dangerous, they would have their face in the dirt, a cop's knee in the ribs and bracelets. Instead it looks like they stand around the bikes and are talking. an assault would not result in that photograph. There's certainly more to this story than meets the eye at this point. What would you think if the cop fired in the air first, and then put the gun to one of the guys' head while shouting "I kill you" "I kill you" and making crazy Al-Kaida eyes? Would we have a case of self-defense then ? Another hint that there is more to the story is how slowly this case moves forward.
