I had a user ask us to solve her problems slower because it made her feel stupid when we solved them immediately.

IMO generally be a positive about Linux rather than negative about Windows. Asking about what systems they support is reasonable though. Just know that you may be passing up jobs if this is your hill to die on.

You don't have to only support one side at the exclusion of the other, even when they are fighting. In this case Israel has been provoked into destroying the terrorist organization Hamas. Since not everyone in Gaza is Hamas and Hamas has been hijacking the aid trucks along with the simple logistical issues of distribution, they are now trying direct support via airdrops which are much harder for Hamas to intercept or just be overrun in general. I've also seen speculation that they are using it to for training as well.

I think that they are working to bring up all of it, but it is taking quite a while. The nearby share feature seems the be specifically for people who live in places with either poor internet or under oppressive regimes. With it, all you need is one person to get a copy of a communication app like Briar, and then they can immediately share it out to lots of people directly through F-Droid. F-Droid isn't there just to be a FOSS app store, but it also seems to specifically serve as a source of apps for people who can't get these apps safely. This also explains the high focus on legacy support.

F-Droid vs F-Droid Basic (lemmy.kde.social)

Why are there 2 clients now? There doesn't seem to be that much of a difference between the 2 and you can just not use the features in the full version.

Edit: I found this post from Calyx: https://www.reddit.com/r/CalyxOS/comments/169toc1/calyxos_fdroid/ It seems to be a way for them to push changes like seamless updates without requiring bringing up the entire F-Droid codebase. Seemless updates is in the full client now, so I don't know what else they will be testing with it, but it seems cool regardless.

The Donbass portion of the Russo-Ukrainian war had a fewer belligerents, a lot lower population density, and was fought between conventional combatants. It was also over 6 years.

The Israel-Hamas war has more belligerents, over 50x population density, is fought between a conventional army and an insurgency who has specifically said that safety of the population isn't their problem, and is being run a lot faster than 6 years. Reported death rates have already slowed down a lot.

Also according to the UN: https://press.un.org/en/2022/sc14904.doc.htm 90% of war time casualties are civilians. The estimated 13k civilians killed in Gaza are weighed against an estimated 7k Hamas killed. That gives about a 2:1 ratio, much better than the global average.

War is always disgusting.

Why have 3 mental health and no monies, when I can have no mental health and 3 monies!? taps head

I'm definitely skeptical of anything "moderate" that they claim to now operate on. Their actions, especially on October 7th illustrated what their actual ideology is. They even still have foreign workers who are entirely uninvolved hostage.

Sigh I hate getting into it on social media, but this is just blatantly untrue.

Hamas has shown just how brutal they are willing to be the past few days and they explicitly have in their charter the destruction of Israel. Hamas given the chance would absolutely ethically cleanse all of the Levant of Jews. The PLO has a martyr fund for dying while killing Israelis. Israel not fighting would absolutely lead to complete destruction.

On the other hand, if Israel wanted to, it could completely wipe out any and all Palestinian areas. Palestine has no real air force, navy, or artillery and wouldn't be able to stop them. The only reason Israel hasn't done so is they have decided not to.

This isn't commentary on the entire conflict or the history or who is right/wrong. I'm just pointing out that this is factually incorrect.

As far as I know there isn't any real RISC-V desktop ecosystem yet. Most uses these days are embedded. Besides performance, there are a lot of applications that aren't compatible with it. Unless you can verify that your specific needs can be met with RISC-V now, you are probably better off getting a system from System76 or the like that tries to reduce or outright disable IME. Alternatively you may be able to do it with Coreboot/Libreboot.

Oracle free tier is 24GB of RAM. I hate Oracle as much as the next person, but worst thing they do is shut it off and you have to migrate.
