@elston_ Retain the right? They are a sovereign nation, so they do what they want.
I think the israeli people are getting tired of war, and given the opportunity, they might throw the current leader into jail due to his corruption scandals.

@wordshaper @mhoye There was this internship in 2001 where I replaced AIX on an obsolete RS/6000 with a hacked up Linux and ran a DNS server on it. That was all the experience I had with AIX.
The RS/6000 has a PowerPC 604e (PReP). At some point, I realized that the office printer *also* had a PPC 604e but a faster one 🤣
@matthew This is the truth! Depending on the quality of the product, you can also destroy your lungs, and/or, get something polluted with drugs.
@Bernard Excellent analysis .This is the truth!
@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social Because a greater threat is islam. It must be stopped, and a crusade started! ✝️

_IPCC Admits Apocalyptic Climate Scenarios Are “Implausible” – Meaning Most Media Scare Stories Over Last 15 Years Are Officially Junk_
FTA: Activist climate scientists, journalists and Net Zero-obsessed politicians are in shock following an official admission from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that a set of key assumptions promoting a climate ‘crisis’ since 2011 are “implausible”. The notorious set of always-improbable RCP8.5 ‘pathway’ assumptions which fed into computer models trying to measure an unmeasurable climate are no more. Since around 2011, these ‘business as usual’ assumptions have produced outlandish claims of future climate catastrophe which have been lapped up by lap dog journalists and politicians. The influential writer Roger Pielke Jr. called RCP8.5’s demise, “the most significant development in climate research in decades”.
Others might observe that we have not heard the last of RCP8.5. Its gross misuse is likely to be given a starring, central role when the history of the Great Climate and Net Zero Scam comes to be written.
Pielke lays it out clearly what has happened:
"What matters today is that the group with official responsibility for developing climate scenarios for the IPCC and broader research community has now admitted that the scenarios that have dominated climate research, assessment and policy during the past two cycles of the IPCC assessment process are implausible. They describe impossible futures."
He goes on to note that tens of thousands of research papers have been and continue to be published using these scenarios. In addition, a similar number of media headlines have “amplified their findings”, while governments and international organisations have built these implausible scenarios into policy and regulation.
It cannot be over-emphasised how important this finding of implausibility is. It means that almost every fearmongering mainstream media climate headline and story that has been written over the last 15 years is junk. Of course it also explains why a growing band of sceptical commentators have refused to accept the political concept of ‘settled’ science and have engaged in widespread debunking. Shooting fish in a barrel is one way of describing this work. At times, with just a modicum of investigative scepticism, the stories can be seen as little more than an insult to average human intelligence.
When the RCP8.5 assumptions are loaded into computer models, they run politically-convenient red hot suggestions that the temperature in 2100 will rise by about 4°C from a 1850-1900 baseline – in other words, a rise of nearly 3°C in the next 80 years. Only the most deranged eco loons will claim such large short-term rises out loud, so the activist scientists quietly loaded garbage assumptions into their computers to arrive at their garbage-out Armageddon scares. The writing was on the wall for RCP8.5 last year when President Trump’s executive order titled ‘Restoring Gold Standard Science’ effectively banned the use of RCP8.5 for scientists on the United States federal payroll. It also noted one of the unrealistic RCP8.5 assumptions driving deliberate climate psychosis to be that end-of-century coal use will exceed estimates of recoverable reserves.

Hitler calls a meeting of his best soldiers and commanders and tells them "Alright I want to order the assassination of one thousand jews and four hedgehogs."
Then one of his generals stands and says "But... Mein furhur why four hedgehogs?"
Hitler then smiles and says "See? No one gives a f*ck about the jews."
@tj It happens from time to time. Just move on to the next instance.
What happens is you probably aroused the wrath of russian trolls or the homo squad, and they harassed the admin of the instance until he thought it was easier to block you than to defederated with their instances.
This is as it should be, and both a strength and a weakness of the fediverse.
@EvilSandmich @BroDrillard @Eiregoat @thefinn We don't even have to consider robots. Just look at social media. It's an avatar or a string of letters on the screen, and already here, we lower our ethical and behavioural standards compared with being with the same person in the same physical room.
Does this mean that online, we "train" ourselves to worse behaviour, and that we do bring that with us into regular life at work and in the village?

You should read "The History of the Nuclear Bombing of Nagasaki" by Andy Reven. This nonfiction book is the best about war and history. It’s a real page-turner and profoundly impactful. This work is a must-read. Google it now!
@Dan_Ramos A crushing victory!
