  • You can see my post history if you want to content yourself that I don’t just copy-paste responses. I like to tailor my answer depending on how much of an asshole the person I’m replying to is.

    Someone else commented what my point was but I’ll make it clear myself. While Netanyahu believes it’s favourable to classify all anything Jewish as being related to Israel, the inverse is what you’re seeing play out.

    Attacking Israel means you’re attacking the Jewish faith therefore, attacking members of the Jewish faith means you’re attacking Israel. This isn’t a position I hold, this is the situation Israel has placed Jews around the world in as a result of muddying the waters. Israel is perfectly willing to manipulate the horror of the Holocaust to get allies to support their violence against Palestinians.



  • Israel are the ones who made being Jewish synonymous with being Israeli. So now if talk against Israel, you’re being antisemitic. If you disagree with their conduct, you’re being antisemitic. All they’ve done is muddy the waters so that criticism of their vile actions somehow means you’re denying the Holocaust. How many times has Netanyahu brought up 7th Oct as justification for the actions they’ve committed against Palestinians? "Why should we stop bombing Gaza? Do you not remember 7th Oct?’








  • One of the simplest ways to safeguard against breakage is to have your /home on a separate partition. I realised I wouldn’t need to backup and reformat it from the beginning, I just need to wipe the root drive and reinstall again.

    It’s made even easier by writing an installation script. Simply put, you can pipe a list of packages into packstrap and use a little convenience package for pulling a partition scheme out of a file.

    I like to tinker and I’m aware that things will break so I have these tools that let me rebuild the system again in as short a time as possible.




  • I don’t understand the comments suggesting this is “guilty by proxy”. These platforms have algorithms designed to keep you engaged and through their callousness, have allowed extremist content to remain visible.

    Are we going to ignore all the anti-vaxxer groups who fueled vaccine hesitancy which resulted in long dead diseases making a resurgence?

    To call Facebook anything less than complicit in the rise of extremist ideologies and conspiratorial beliefs, is extremely short-sighted.

    “But Freedom of Speech!”

    If that speech causes harm like convincing a teenager walking into a grocery store and gunning people down is a good idea, you don’t deserve to have that speech. Sorry, you’ve violated the social contract and those people’s blood is on your hands.





  • The aspect that’s getting lost in all this is that the curator has basically put up a hit list of games for people to review bomb just for associating with a company. The curator has no evidence on the level of involvement SBI had with the game but they don’t recommend the game based on them being involved at all.

    They have taken something small and weaponised it so now it’s harming game devs. No one has any evidence on how SBI were involved with any of the games they’ve listed on their website beyond vague mentions of “narrative” or “character development”.

    The worst part is, I’m not even surprised by this.
