That is the first time I’ve seen South Africa listed separately from Africa

Great article.

Israeli liberals and Western diplomats tend to believe there are two paths forward: a binational, single state, or the two-state solution.

I fucking wish Israeli liberals would be in for a binational state. This is an extremely fringe opinion among Jews. The secular liberals generally prefer a two-state solution or just keeping the status quo (and just “managing it better”™️).

That was quite light in substance. Since it’s titled a “success story” I was hoping to find a deeper dive into challenges they faced - especially with Alpine, which isn’t that trivial to use at scale, not even mentioning with Junior developers.

This article seems like writing for the sake of writing, or rather padding the blog page on your personal site

Damn that would be so cool

Damn that’s cool, then maybe I should take a second look at Wordpress

Yeah actually writing Wordpress themes was easier than I thought. But I wrote them for the old editor, not Gutenberg – I opted for ClassicPress instead which was quite a banger in the effort-to-outcome equation

I feel like Python is coming to its senses in the recent years, with releases focusing on typing constructs and the match statement. I think they’re on the path to be a great statically typed language, don’t you think?

How did you manage to convince friends and (especially) family to actually use Matrix? Quite impressive!

Yeah idk what went into her in this video. It only seems to be half a joke, which is terrible. The rest of her content is amazing so I’m quite confused

Your stance is great. I’m very glad you’re taking the liberty to remove posts, moderated spaces who are strict about what kinda content is allowed are just more pleasant. Hackernews, lobste.rs and me_irl come to mind. Unsure why the poster in the picture reacted so dramatically lol

Sorry

Good words tf with the downvotes?

Oh yeah

Can someone take a picture of what the last year’s emoji look like? XD

Love it! I did feel uncomfortable with 2010s-Facebook-style excessive public sharing. Most of my friends, with me included, abuse the close friends Instagram feature and I’m all for it. I know a couple of people who deleted their old Facebook accounts because digital footprint was too frightening – particularly, the shit they posted during their teens in private Facebook groups that they have long left.

All of this is obviously not related whatsoever to data harvesting; this fight is against individual stalkers rather than corporate ones. But it’s a blessed one non the less; stalking shouldn’t really be a thing.

Another thing that got lost in the translation is “fought on a cliff” – while he really said Tzuk Eitan, which is the 2014 Gaza war

Technological advancements have the unfortunately intended side effect of corporations having less people they gotta pay to, because machines are quite the competitor sometimes. While I think OP is being a bit pedantic here, efficiency in and of itself is not inherently good – the question should be who’s extracting the profit. If the increased efficiency translates into less working hours… hell yeah. If it translates into record megacorp profits, then… I see no need in eliminating these unnecessary jobs for now – the worker gets their bread and that’s what I care about

Nah, they’re lost!

Let’s go Ubuntu 00.00

Hey:) So regarding the “unnatural humanity”, that’s mistranslated. Freely translating what she wrote would be “irregular humanity”, but idiomatically it would be translated to “extraordinary humanity” or something.

Other than that, the translation is accurate enough. The translator took the liberty to make it way more poetic, but the overall tone is the same.

The only suspicious thing I encountered is the use of the word “generals”:

1. She wrote ג׳נרל (Jeneral, like how you pronounce it in English) while in Hebrew you’d say it with a hard G. That’s close enough to how you say it in Arabic (Jiniral)
2. Nobody uses that word in a non-derogatory way. They’d usually say קצין (officer)

I wouldn’t get too hung up on this letter though. It was a weird and uncanny read. I think there is other, more solid evidence that can enjoy that focus instead
