That is because Microsoft put a touchscreen GUI on servers. Windows server had the stupid charm menu thing. It was just amazingly stupid.

Japanese tend to be irrationally anti-vaccine

Vaccines eradicated some of the worst diseases humans had. If thousands of kids were paralyzed by polio vaccines would become very popular again.

The federal vaccine recommendation on polio vaccines is not changing.

Why polio and not others?


Every 4k OLED I've used has been perfectly adequate for programming.

> perfectly adequate

Exactly what I want for the thing I stare at for 8 hours/day. Not great. Not good. Perfectly adequate.


That reminds me of the swearing in speech of the new VP in The West Wing.

Adequate as I can't really tell the difference but with OLED you get perfect blacks which make dark mode and white text on black background look much better.

OLED is the best current display technology and I can never go back to IPS panels, and VA panels are right out.

Have you seen Arcade Time Capsule? It is very accurate recreation of a classic arcade with games you can actually play if you provide the ROMs.

Not the OP, but I tried it when it came out. VR headset technology wasn't good enough for screens within screens and it was nauseating more than anything.

There's also impedance mismatch between using the headset controllers and the physical ones in the game. Ideally, I should be able to use my own fightstick in an augmented reality configuration.


The quest 3 is good enough and the Galaxy XR is incredibly high resolution. But it isn't a really ideal way to play arcade ROMs for long term but just to enjoy the nostalgia.

How is the Galaxy XR? I want one but I can't justify it if it doesn't connect to my non-Samsung work laptop.

I got it for $75 a month for two years. Visual clarity is incredible and monitor replacement level but comfort is meh so I bought studioform creative head strap which helped a lot. You can use Virtual Desktop to connect to any computer easily.

I'm a sysadmin so I bought it to see if it would work when I want to ssh into systems I'm physically near in racks. It has worked really well for this.


The VAST majority of the deaths were from sectarian violence.

That was caused by a power vacuum and US's intentional act to oust the Ba'ath Party, remove all control from a country and it will fall to chaos especially when blood feuds are involved .

This response seems to remove all agency from the actual people killing each other.

This seems to be a theme of people with certain political inclinations. "It's really America's fault they're blowing themselves up in crowded markets because...."

After toppling Saddam Hussein the US took political control in the country and decided who got to decide what. The slaughter that followed was a direct and rather predictable result of this.

What does "Zionist" mean to you? I honestly don't understand what it means when Israel has existed as a Jewish state for 76 years and seems likely to continue doing so for the foreseeable future.

Zionism is older than the state of Israel. It is a political movement consisting mainly of christians.

If you want to learn more you could do worse than follow Zachary Foster's lectures for the Rutgers Center:

The podcast The Empire Never Ended has recently finished a rather good series on Meir Kahane, one of the most important influences on contemporary zionism:

Although Palestinian nationalism does predate modern Zionism as it was originally directed at the Ottoman Rulers.

Kahane, notably a terrorist and racial supremacist.

Well put. It really does seem to be a k-word substitute in a lot of cases. I like the third definition.

[flagged]


This is a very bizarre conspiracy theory definition.

How so? Which part do you disagree with, the violent crimes or that most participants in the movement are christians?

It's like defining Germany as "a state that genocided various groups", or defining Irish nationalism as "a movement characterized by terrorist attacks against British civilians". Whether or not those claims are accurate, they're not defining features of the things we're trying to define.

And sure, most Zionists are not Jews because the Jewish population is too tiny to be a majority in almost any political category. Similarly most people who support Somaliland independence are not Somalilanders, but probably Indians or Chinese or something.


The zionist movement has never been peaceful, it has always aimed for violent expulsion of native populations from Palestine. One might argue that socialist or liberal zionism is not overtly jewish supremacist, but in practice they always were so I'd contest that. Unlike the irish they also did not have a reason to exterminate the palestinians specifically, whereas the irish have good reason to resist british influence.

So you agree that zionism is a movement mainly consisting of christians, you're just not aware that both christian and jewish zionists prefer to paint the movement as a jewish underdog and distract from things like the nukes and nuke carrying backers and the genocide and so on.


Palestinians rejected the UN offer of their own country and tried and failed to destroy Israel. That is pretty violent.

They have been reluctant to give up their homeland, you mean. Yes, resistance to occupation and genocide is usually to some extent violent, because the occupier is extremely violent to begin with.

They never actually had sovereign control over the land. It was controlled by Romans and then by the Turks and then by the British and when the British left it was basically up for grabs.

Sharing the land with another group of people who are also from the region would not be "giving up their homeland".

Sharing the land with european colonists that used terrorism and ethnic cleansing to remove and to a lesser extent subjugate the native population? Why would they?

The explicit goal of Hamas is the ethnic cleansing of Israel of all Jews.

No, it is not. Here's Ahmed Yassin on the issue:

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DY0O9O9xR2Q

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFuIbjxXC9k

He was assassinated by the israelis, who were actually doing ethnic cleansing for decades before that.

It's weird how you care more about some future atrocity you fantasise about than actual atrocities.


Arabs moved there from elsewhere also.

If you're suggesting that a peoples' right to live in their homeland is forfeited as a result of immigration, terrorism or ethnic cleansing, that would be bad news for Palestinians. Gaza and WB Area A are Jew-free zones, and there were around 30k rocket attacks from Gaza alone.

Quite the opposite, I'm suggesting the palestinians still have a right to their homelands even though europeans have settled, terrorised and displaced them.

Yeah, what about "rocket attacks"? Are they somehow more devastating than the US-israeli armory? If someone spits in front of my feet, then I can have them watch while I beat their family to death?


Cristian evangelicals would be a much better term.

Ideally

What would happen to the Israel population?

It WOULD have been a superpower if he hadn't told anyone he could see.

Companies are playing games with GPU depreciation.

The only thing learned from structured finance was to lock regular people out.

Unsure why you were downvoted; I'm curious to understand this comment. Playing finance and accounting games I presume you mean.

Yes they are depreciating GPUs for longer than usual time periods like 6 years.
