Stop concern trolling. The ridiculous nature of the "threat" makes it obvious they're being completely unserious.

Alright, I'll play along.

Claim:

The document titled hamas human shields released by NATO Strategic Communications is propaganda.

Argument:

Merriam-Webster defines propaganda as-

the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person

Let's break that down. To determine whether the NATO StratCom document hamas human shields meets the criteria for propaganda we need to answer the following:

Q: Does the item in question contain ideas, information, or rumor?

A: Without having to verify any claims you can still confidently state that the document contains at least one if not all of these. Statements of opinion can be classified as ideas, and statement of fact can be considered either information or rumor depending upon the amount and veracity of supporting evidence.

Q: Was the item in question spread for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person?

A: By posting the document on a public forum for the purpose of defending NATO's actions, you yourself fulfilled this criteria. Prior to that, NATO StratCom also fulfilled it, as they have an implicit interest in defending the actions of NATO (which this document serves to do)

For example: I can point to evidence that Tasnim News is propaganda.

I don't dispute this.

Unless you disagree with the meaning of the word propaganda then everything I said is a statement of fact, not a personal opinion. What do you mean when you say propaganda (and don't just give examples, actually define it).

All value is subjective. I happen to believe humans' ability to empathize across species is both beautiful and beneficial for the long-term sustainability of our species. Having empathy for other species helps us to understand the role nature plays in our lives, and to assert agency over the role we play in nature. Lacking empathy for animals allows us to see them as property, and humans tend to have an extractive and ultimately self-destructive disposition towards property.

there's nothing "propaganda" about NATO

You can't be serious. Everyone does propaganda, propaganda is everywhere. Just because you happen to agree with NATO propaganda doesn't mean it isn't propaganda. Your original comment is propaganda, the responses to it are propaganda, this entire comment section is full of propaganda. Anyone disseminating information reflecting the views or interests of any doctrine or cause is engaging in propaganda.

Edit: Always has been

As an anarchist this is me on a good day. I more often find myself in the middle getting shit on from both directions.

This is not terrorism, it's industrial sabotage, which in the context of the coal industry is based.

I know those are probably prop cheese wheels, but I can't help but think they could've made a lot of money selling the ones she did the splits on.

It's a very vibrant red underneath, I'm too curious not to try and narrow down the species.

I think it might be a green-spored parasol which is poisonous, but it's hard to tell at this stage. Was hoping it's something edible because there's lots of them and they're massive.

Science is just the method by which technological advancements are achieved, it doesn't decide the priorities. That privilege falls to capital, and by extension, capitalists.

If anyone's interested in a hard sci-fi show about uploading consciousness they should watch the animated series Pantheon. Not only does the technology feel realistic, but the way it's created and used by big tech companies is uncomfortably real.

The show got kinda screwed over on advertising and fell to obscurity because of streaming service fuck ups and region locking, and I can't help but wonder if it's at least partially because of its harsh criticisms of the tech industry.

I would suspect this is an intentional dark pattern. They're probably hoping most people will get tired of waiting and click cancel, which sets it back to the default of allowing all cookies.

Remember everyone, media piracy is in the spirit of a tv show about a post-scarcity socialist utopian future.

Edit: For those who stumble across this with the same issue, I eventually got it working by adding “default-runtime”: “nvidia”, to /etc/docker/daemon.json then restarting the docker service and Jellyfin container.

I am in the process of setting up a new media server on an old PC using Ubuntu Server and CasaOS and have run into my first major roadblock.

To give some background, I formerly had my media server running on my main gaming PC on Windows using Plex and the *arr suite. I’m now trying to do things the right way and set everything back up from scratch on some spare hardware with Jellyfin and all the rest in dockerized containers. I chose CasaOS because I’m not overly familiar with Linux and thought that would be a good way to ease into things.

Everything was going well until I tried to get hardware acceleration enabled in Jellyfin. For the life of me I cannot seem to get the Nvidia drivers properly installed, much less give Jellyfin access to the device. I’m using a GTX 960.

I’m not sure exactly what additional info I need to give here, but here’s something I hope helps:

*****@home-server:/$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

If there’s anything important I’m leaving out - and I probably am - let me know. Also if there’s anywhere else you recommend I post this let me know that as well.
