This is why nobody use conscripts, imagine an army that is all cops.

Ok do you understand what an analogue is?

Perhaps Lemmy needs a “translate to simple English feature for you”

It’s an apt comparison, there aren’t many examples so on the nose about deliberately destabilizing secular groups and Islamist groups filling the power vacuum, only to become a more violent threat.

If you want you could compare it to the allied powers starving the Spanish Republic of resources, enabling the rise of the Nazis, but it’s a bit of a stretch.

Also Hamas was empowered by the Israeli state by the distruction of secular opposition.

Not disimilar to how the US armed the Taliban & created a power vacuum for them to fill

You ever wonder what it would be like if you had self-esteem & were proud of your values instead of complaining about others having virtues?

I dunno EDM sucks.

As does confining millions to an open air prison

As does Israel creating Hamas

As does the current Israeli government ignoring intelligence reports because they wanted this to happen.

If Israel don’t like Hamas they shouldn’t have created them

flatpaks are all updated at once, just like distro packages, so yeah you might need to commands, but that’s still very different to having each application update itself (and the security hell implied by that)

Also I think pkcon can manage your updates across various backends (unless you are on Arch, where I think there are both technical & ideological objections to having a simple tool that just works)

Good thing I’ve watched that video, twice then!

It could even tell me what 1312 means, after I told it it was a number substitution cypher

Respectfully: Fuck that.

If you want to find the best instant rice recommendations on Lemmy, Lemmy should have a functional post search function, rather than me relying on a malevolent corporate entity like google to index all the content.

Search has gone to shit as the Internet has embraced social media sites, an upside of this is that wikipedia+Lemmy+key word search, mayas accurate as asking Google Bard or bing, and they can be built on entirety open tech.
