It’s such a dumb name, that it makes me genuinely furious there there are people out there who have lied and impostered their way into positions where they can make such decisions, while having absolutely no clue at all what they’re even doing in the building.

Apple intelligence makes sense, because the abbreviation is AI. Pretty smart and simple if you think about it.

But Copilot is the kind of name Apple would choose for its product. Things like centre stage, launchpad, facetime… They’re all very descriptive and cool sounding names of their software products. Copilot is a great name that they’re throwing away along with Cortana because their crappy practices are crappy.

Indigenous population scared about their wellbeing? Wellbeing from what? What possible threat has the indigenous population faced recently that you need to be all up in arms about it?

This is a report on Gov.uk

In 2022/23, white individuals accounted for 78% of arrests, 8% were of black individuals, 8% were of Asian individuals, 4% were of mixed ethnicity individuals and 2% were of other ethnicity individuals

In 2022, 77% of all males prosecuted for indictable offences were from the white ethnic group, compared to 86% of all females prosecuted

Since 2018, white defendants have had a consistently lower average custodial sentence length (ASCL) than all other ethnic groups combined for indictable offences.

Black prisoners served the greatest proportion of their original sentence in custody.

What is your point? What are you up in arms about exactly?

Ok, let’s compare, shall we?

Millions of people out protesting over the murder of thousands of children in Gaza, and protesting the UK’s complicity in those crimes by directly sending weapons to Israel. No crimes committed, no riots, no disorder. There were a couple who held up flags and inflammatory symbols or shouted crude slogans and they went peacefully when they were arrested.

Thousands of children murdered, peaceful protest.

In contrast, a far-right counter protest against the Palestine march in London ends with the thugs clashing with police, being violent and causing damage https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-far-right-football-hooligans-blamed-violence-pro-palestinian-march-london/

Recently, 3 girls brutally and abhorrently murdered in Southport, but EDL thugs who honestly couldn’t care less about the victims and just wanted a scrap, took to the streets and torched police vehicles, injured many offers. The perpetrator ended up being a Christian, and yet the EDL mob went and targeted a mosque.

3 children murdered, outright anarchy.

EDL have proven that they’re just in it for the fight. They just want blood and they don’t care what the trigger is. Absolutely pathetic. They piss about in school, get bugger all in the way of grades and end up at the building site, blaming immigrants for their troubles. Spineless knobgobblers, the lot of them.

The right answer in this case

Trump promised he won’t open the Epstein files if he gets re-elected. Suddenly Musk started throwing money at him and breaking any rule to censor the opposition party and smear them.

This has little to do with the lying orange Turd. Musk cares about his own pedo past and is desperate to not have that info leak out.

The entire world agrees it’s a Genocide. The whole world also agrees that the US is an accomplice in the Genocide.

US bombs are constantly found among the corpses of women and children sheltering in tents. If Biden isn’t responsible then you’re as deluded as they come.

Also, I’m not “ignoring everyone else’s concerns”, I’m ignoring your concerns. Some random dude on the internet

I’ve realised I’m talking to a literal child. Grow up and take this seriously. I’m talking about the citizens of Gaza who are suffering here as a result of Biden’s insistence on supporting this war. I’m not interested in exchanging one liners with an internet goblin.

Look, I am just as anti-Trump as the rest of the sane voters but your arguments don’t do you or the Dems any favours whatsoever.

Biden is the one responsible for thousands of deaths in Gaza. He said he’s a self proclaimed Zionist, effectively saying that he supports the Israeli war on a personal level.

OP was right. Biden has been allowing this to go on and without US’ support, this would have ended long ago. And not only denying that what’s going on in Gaza isn’t a genocide, but flat out rejecting that there’s no famine, even when you’re able to count the ribs of children is pathetic.

So what was the solution? Biden should’ve said he won’t run for another term. It’s too late for that now and Dems may pay the price.

Biden really is going senile and he really isn’t fit to lead another 4 years. Yes, you absolutely can’t have Trump return, unless you want the US to become an autocratic dictatorship and spark a civil war, but letting Biden run with this much baggage is suicide. I’d be happy if Dems win, but let’s wake up and stop kidding ourselves. We should not be surprised if Trump wins. The Dems have never been this fragmented and we needed everyone to come together last time to beat Trump (and even then it wasn’t a landslide!)

If your best argument for Biden is that we can’t have Trump, then you’re just ignoring everyone else’s concerns about a guy who has presided over, and actively and consciously encouraged a genocide. It’s not enough this time to simply avoid Trump.

Can you imagine your own mind having unskippable ads?

Can you imagine buying products you don’t want because you’re suddenly compelled to do so and you have no idea why.

Neuralink is going to be hell, purely because the person in charge of it is Elon Musk.

I mean, it does look like a sensible option. BRICS countries are growing in number and their combined wealth is nothing to sneeze at.

Turkey was never really allowed to be a part of EU and therefore will join the cool new club while the rest of Europe grows in far right rhetoric, and generally anti islamic sentiment.

To all those people who keep saying that in order to not have Trump back in 2025, everyone must suck it up and vote Biden, this is why that just can’t happen.

Sure Trump is bad in many ways but Biden’s insistence on helping Netenyahu no matter what will lose him the election.

I’m not making a case for Trump, btw. Both things can be bad at the same time. For people who are seeing Gazans die for no reason, Biden cannot come back into office again. Does that mean we want Trump? Of course not, and that’s why voting for anyone else makes sense.

If voting for anyone else means you’re voting for Trump, so be it!

On September 11, some Saudis attacked the World Trade Centre. America retaliated by going to war with Afghanistan, found they had nothing of value, and then Rumsfeld said since Iraq has oil, they should go after them instead. The unprovoked attack and illegal war that still, to this day, has had zero repurcussions against Bush, Blair and the rest who started it, and caused individuals from militant faction groups to rise up and attack those nations in the form of terrorist attacks, perpetuating a cycle of hate and loss.

More than twenty years later, uneducated people still fail to see the distinction between individual terrorists and an entire people who follow Islam. Islamophobia is on the rise right now simply because people are protesting the war in Gaza, and still equating those protesters to the terrorism from years prior.

I say all this because I can see how hate, and in your case, antisemitism lingers. Your actions are not that of the IDF, your words are not the same as aggrevators like Ben Gvir and your policies are not the same as Netenyahu’s, but because you’re Jewish, those things are all the same now in the eyes of many uneducated people.

It was the same with idiots attacking random (elderly!?) Chinese civilians on the street as a result of COVID lockdowns. The blame lies chiefly with the media and its incendiary bias towards all things that don’t align with their backward views, and allowing people like Trump to stand on a podium and address millions of people with lies and baseless claims.

From this link:

"I do not want the administrative workload that comes with donations. I do not want the project to become in need of funding in any way: no dedicated home page + no forum = no cost = no need for financial support. I want to be free to move on to something else if ever I get tired of working on these projects (no donations = no expectations).

Have a thought for the maintainers of the various lists. These lists are everything. I can not emphasize this enough."

While the developer doesn’t accept donations, they do encourage donating to the people maintaining the block lists. I’ve contributed in the past and would happily keep doing so.

It would be a shame if the devs maintaining the block lists stop doing what they’re doing because it’s not sustainable enough for them.

I tried to download a music video on limewire once. I was pretty computer illiterate back then and around 13 years old at the time when a friend at school showed me how to download things.

That music video turned out to be a woman being murdered at point blank range. It was ~5 seconds of my life but that video has never left my mind. It was far too early for video editing and far too ‘amateur’ to be a movie production. The way she begged for the guy to stop before he pulled the trigger, it was definitely real.

Humans have 10 thumbs though…

Apparently they review the second screen via the camera. Any attempts to hide/block/hack/break the second screen would result in a breach of contract, which results in a charge for the full price of the TV and extra on top for damages/breach of terms etc.

You’re made to sign a few documents before you receive your TV. I suspect they’ve covered all angles

There’s a company which will give you a >40in LCD smart TV to keep, for as long as you want it, with the catch that the second screen that comes with the TV (it’s a screen that is a couple of inches tall and spans the width of the device) is on at all times and only plays ads.

There’s also a camera that actively films you and records your audio, video. It’s also on all the time.

The company makes it clear that they’re giving you a free, very well specced TV with all the amenities, and in return they’ll collect your data. It’s surprising how many people (who otherwise can’t afford a TV) said yes.

UK’s David Cameron: “to suggest there’s genocidal intent? I do believe that’s wrong”

They’ll bend over backwards to support Israel, and people are asking what Israel has over the UK to make it so. At some point, answers will have to be given.

Are you implying everyone there is future hamas?

No, and yes. If Hamas means resistance then sure. I don’t see any Palestinians condemning Hamas because Hamas are literally brothers and sons and relatives of the survivors who have been born into oppression and have no option but to rebel or die.

Let’s say you have a child, completely innocent, born into this world. Within a few years, he has survived multiple wars, seen violence and death dozens of times, and is already desensitised to mutilation and death by the time he’s 7 years old. His family is dead, he’s surviving on the good graces of strangers with no prospects for education and no moral compass in the form of parents to guide him on what’s right and wrong.

By the time he’s 17, he’s being recruited into Hamas, who under a 70 year occupation, comprises people just like him, that want a free Palestine where children can be children and oppression isn’t the norm. You’re not going to reform him without removing his raison d’etre. Until there’s Israeli oppression and no free Palestine, he’s Hamas.

Do I agree with what Hamas did on October 7th? No. But in all forms of media and in history, people who are oppressed and free themselves from imprisonment and oppression are seen as heroes (if they’re imprisoned unjustly, of course!), regardless of the number of people they kill in order to achieve their goals (like blowing up a Death Star, killing everyone on it).

The Star Wars’ rebel alliance is an example. So is Katniss in Hunger Games or the Na’Vi in the Avatar movies. In my mind there’s little difference between them. We don’t condemn them as terrorists so why is Hamas different?

Look I get it, and you’re probably right, but this world doesn’t work in that way.

The US just side-stepped Congress to approve an arms shipment to Israel for the second time this month. Missiles and bombs aren’t the answer, but we have to remain consistent.

And what will summoning Netenyahu achieve? He’ll go to prison laughing (assuming the US ever let it get that far!), knowing his successor will reap the rewards of an uninhabitable Gaza full of a resentful, broken population fated to become the next Hamas for us to condemn in a few years’ time. Israel will win land and space for more illegal settlements that’ll go unchallenged because the US will continue to veto any action against them.

I don’t agree military action is the answer but in the middle of a war where one side is being heavily supported, it makes little sense why the other side wouldn’t seek some extra power as well.
