Germany is experiencing a rise in the far right too, though it hasn’t yet gone as far as in France.

Whoops, shot in the back, beaten and strapped to a scorching jeep like some kind of human shield. Just another whoopsie by the IDF, but don’t worry, they’ll look into it to investigate how on earth they ended up being cruel to Palestinians.

Which is partly because people don’t have as much money as they used to.

What if the antisemites… lie?

I’m going to use this for my next order of crystalware and explosives.

Some patients are spending a year and a half in hospital isolation receiving old medicines instead of just six months of treatment at home, because countries do not have access to the most up-to-date therapies to cure people of the infectious disease.

If it’s a question of cost, then keeping someone in hospital for a year and a half surely has to be more expensive than just buying the drugs.

So we don’t have to go to that site:

I wouldn’t expect it to benchmark well, but it’s good that they’re making this available so developers can explore RISC-V on a good quality platform.

Why compromise? Use 1-bit IP addresses.

If you follow the link to the article you’ll see it’s Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the ADL.

It could make a good comedy.

A court in Amman sentenced Hiba Abu Taha, a Jordanian investigative journalist of Palestinian origin, to a year in prison on 11 June, one month after her arrest for revealing alleged trade links between Jordanian and Israeli companies despite the war in Gaza.

Ah, so they want to continue trading with Israel while not being held responsible for trading with Israel.

Jordan has seen a surge in harassment of journalists, including arrests, censorship and intimidation since December 2023. Those targeted have included journalists covering demonstrations in support of Gaza or revealing information concerning relations between Jordan and Israel, and the harassment has been carried out under the cybercrime law in particular.

Add Jordan to the list of countries where it is strangely forbidden to criticize Israel no matter what Israel does.

The last Windows that had any MS-DOS in it was Windows ME, a quarter of a century ago. Everything since then has run on the NT kernel.

My favorite Windows drag-and-drop feature is that if ever I drag a file over the left pane of Explorer on its way to another window, the whole thing freezes up for a minute or so. I think it’s polling all the network drives just in case I might decide to drop it there, and since my NAS is turned off (it broke) it just waits until the connection times out. Of course in traditional Microsoft style this locks up the UI thread. I have to remember to drag everything off to the right and then go around.

Naming different things identically is a thing Microsoft loves to do. I still keep opening Teams or Teams instead of Teams. And I think there are at least three things on my PC called Copilot, and they haven’t even released Copilot yet.

I guess they say it each time they’re caught not prioritizing security. Then back to management as usual, prioritizing bullshit new features and marketing over security and bug fixes.

In some cases, this will mean prioritizing security

Sounds like the old Microsoft attitudes are alive and well.

There, he met with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and gave a talk entitled “The World According to Donald Trump Jr.,”

It’s incredible that there are people who read that title and decide to go and hear the talk.

Asked if the men in the water had shown any signs of hostility toward Israeli forces, he told CBS News: “They were fishermen. They were fishing.”

When asked about the incident, which Elder first reported in an Instagram post, the Israel Defense Forces asked for an exact location and said it was looking into the claim.

Another day, another war crime. I can’t imagine the anger and helplessness these families must feel, seeing these assholes kill their loved ones for no reason other than their genocidal hatred and enjoyment of killing.

Bike Index tried to get Meta—then Facebook—to remove Constru-Bikes’ Facebook pages. The efforts hit a brick wall. The company directed Bike Index to click a button to report criminal behavior—“which does nothing,” said Hance. “We clicked it dozens of times,” he told me. “It’s like the button at the crosswalk.” He finally reached an engineer (and cyclist) at the company who said they’d relayed Hance’s concerns to a team that deals with such issues. The reply: The team is focused on other issues, and “there wasn’t much that could be done,” Hance relayed to me. “There’s just nobody at the helm, just nobody fucking driving the bus,” Hance said. (In an email, Meta told WIRED that it prohibits the selling or buying of stolen goods on Facebook and Instagram, and encourages people to report such activity—as Hance has done repeatedly—to the company and the police. The Constru-Bikes pages were still online as of press time.)

Well look at that, Facebook makes money from knowingly helping to sell stolen goods.
