4gotunameagain··on CIA Report Warns Israel Could Head Toward Civil War, Total Collapse
Let me explain this so that you can understand.

If you read it again you will see that I did not say that ultra orthodox jews are nazis, but a subset of those (the settlers) behave like nazis. Perpetuating the circle of violence.

Hope you had fun going through 5 months of my comments to find something you can complain about.

1) Stop conflating criticism of the state of Israel to antisemitism. There are many orthodox Jews that oppose zionism and the state of Israel.

One could argue that supporting the state of Israel as it currently stands and behaves is antisemitic, judging by the fact that its actions create huge negative sentiment about it and international isolation.

2) Stop creating new throwaway accounts in a transparent attempt to astroturf

@dang This user continues to only engage in Israel related topics and discussions. Is this really the place for propaganda ?

Good find, very interesting.

I wonder how that deal works, if and what kind of vetting Honeywell does before products are released.

I would imagine when the name is licensed, they would like to keep an eye on the type and quality of products the licensee puts out on the market

Perhaps a compromised device on the local network can MiTM a javascript payload that exploits three zero days on HackerThemAll's browser stack, pwning his computer and finally enabling his super advanced, persistent adversaries to get exfiltrate his super important data.

And all that for what, for a VB6 screenshot on a hn comment threat while procrastinating on top secret work ?

Nah, not worth it.

4gotunameagain··on Things that apparently cause cancer
If you think about it it's quite insane what we did as a species and we survived.

Alchemists conjured thousands of weird new substances, and we just shoved them everywhere they seemed fit. Asbestos everywhere, lead in gasoline, expanded polypropylene wrapping food and holding warm coffee, plasticisers practically everywhere..

And we only really learned about the ones that stood out as the worst. The effect of others, slower acting will keep being uncovered for decades to come.

This is definitely a double standard.

If you looked at the comments of the banned account that were older than a year ago, they were not political.

While jameshilliard has hundreds of comments (in your own words) almost entirely on the topic for the past two years, with a huge number of them flagged/dead.

It is clear to see what is going on.

4gotunameagain··on Big Tech ruined the cloud, so we're renaming ours
Given the predatory pricing model the "cloud" has become, this makes perfect sense.

Azure and AWS have become practically a racket. I haven't seen a single "cloud native" company yet that is not leaking hundreds of thousands of dollars per month to the US digital monopolists.

Cloud capitalism at its finest..

4gotunameagain··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
What about that jameshilliard guy that has tens of flagged dead comments about Israel ?

Since 2024, 99% of his comments are political and about Israel.

4gotunameagain··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
> That doesn't mean the data is unreliable.

No but it is like taking Russia's word for how many troops they lost.

> Comparing Israeli's to Nazi's is a common antisemitic trope.

How is comparing a state that is conducting a genocide to another group that did so too against the Jewish people ?

4gotunameagain··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
COGAT is an Israeli military unit.

Trusting their statements is like trusting the statements of the Nazis during the previous genocide.

4gotunameagain··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
An Israeli military unit (COGAT) is not a trustworthy source of data for the aid they provide to an area they are actively blockading and starving.

This is a genocide, and you are complicit through your online hasbara.

4gotunameagain··on The AI Race Just Got Awkward
While your friend is Sam Altman, or US megacorps ?

Or did they not pull back when their models allegedly became highly capable, with the whole mythos debacle ?

4gotunameagain··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
We don't call migration colonialism indeed, that's because they are fundamentally different concepts.

And guess what ? Someone can be both against unconstrained migration, colonialism, zionism and apartheid states.

Weak hasbara, try with a new throwaway account

35000 tons of aid, 60% percent of it food. So.. 10kg of food per person, per month.

How noble and humanitarian of the state of Israel.

Please do disengage, you refuted none of my statements while continuing to spread propaganda from your 3 hour old account.

> The blockade only started after Hamas was elected into power

Israel has been restricting Gaza's economic viability since the 90s, much before the official blockade. (source: UN, wikileaks about Gaza economic policy)

> The money from Qatar was still allowed in for humanitarian reasons

Is this a joke ? The humanitarian Israel that does not let international flotillas with aid reach Gaza ? Or the humanitarian Israel that kills children ?

> The total land under control by Israel has shrunk by more than 50% over the past 50 years

The spin of the century. They gave back uninhabitable desert, while continuing expansion all over Palestine.

> Millions of Arabs have migrated to the West, but only when Jews migrate East are they “vile colonizers”.

Firstly, it has nothing to do with religion. Secondly, migration is quite different than a formation of a military state that constantly occupies land and expands, attacking its neighbours that has been there for millennia.

You are spewing propaganda.

4gotunameagain··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
This is such a spin. A 20 year blockade (and allowing Qatar to fund Hamas) leading to the Oct. 7 attack - the justification - for the ongoing atrocities, framed as "unilateral disengagement" that was not successful. Therefore it is the Palestinian's at fault.

It is clear that Israel is the source of violence. Which makes sense, as it is a new Western colony occupying (and constantly expanding) land where people lived for thousands of years, under the justification THAT IT'S IN THE BIBLE.

A religious fundamentalist colony, funded and armed by the west.

It is unjustifiable. It is vile.

4gotunameagain··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
An alternative to levelling entire cities to the ground to find tunnels, would be to stop the expanding of the settlers, stop the apartheid within Israel, stop the blockade and starving on Gaza, and try to actually foster peace instead of constant conflict, pain and misery in order to retain power.

This is despicable, inhumane. It is generational trauma that started with the Nazis, now propagated to the poor souls around the new western colony of Israel.

4gotunameagain··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
I think this is utterly infeasible.

Apart from the fact the if you stay true to your morals you will be incapable of rising to a position of power in such corrupt institutions, the degree of institutionalisation necessary to do so will definitely erode your ethics, turning you into another cog.

4gotunameagain··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
So you are suggesting that you can change the US military industrial complex by.. working for the NSA or Lockheed Martin ?

Also it is quite questionable how much of a democracy the US is nowadays.

Gerrymandering aside, the populace does not get to choose the presidential candidates. And the whole two party thing ? Or the fact that to have a chance you need a super PAC with hundreds of millions ?

This seems like elitocracy..

4gotunameagain··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
I mean, this site is full of people that develop the weapons used to commit atrocities and genocides (both physical and digital ones) so I am not surprised about the downvotes..
4gotunameagain··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
I'm sorry for your pain.

This is a good lesson for young people reading this. If you work for the US military, you are not working for Defence.

Your work will be used against innocent civilians in far away lands.

4gotunameagain··on Socrates vs. the Written Word (2011)
From the linked article :

    And so it is with written words; you might think they spoke as if they had intelligence, but if you question them, wishing to know about their sayings, they always say only one and the same thing.   
And now imagine that the only one and same thing the LLMs say is not only fixed, but intentionally steered as the biggest and most inflexible propaganda mechanism we have ever seen.

Especially given the lack of competition in the space, and people mostly using models from 2 or 3 providers.

4gotunameagain··on Far-left party wins Berlin election, pledging to nationalise housing
The only reason I enjoy cheap food is the industrialisation of agriculture and the subsequent increase in yields.

P.s. the EU already decides how much, how many, what and when will be planted, through subsidising. And it's going quite well.

4gotunameagain··on Far-left party wins Berlin election, pledging to nationalise housing
I do not think that housing should be broadly available for trade in global markets, in the typical definition of a commodity.

That enables mass buyouts of housing from corporation which leads to rent extraction and a myriad of woes.

4gotunameagain··on Far-left party wins Berlin election, pledging to nationalise housing
This is not true. Two more strong government interventions that would benefit the housing market:

- Tax empty flats to death

- Disallow corporate ownership of residential property

4gotunameagain··on Far-left party wins Berlin election, pledging to nationalise housing
The article you linked can be clearly interpreted in a way that would make it possible.
4gotunameagain··on Far-left party wins Berlin election, pledging to nationalise housing
The "free market" (which has been demonstrated to not be free at all) has no place in basic needs such as housing.

Rent extraction is utterly counterproductive for a society.

Housing should not be a commodity.

4gotunameagain··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
Association clouds.. Routes.. Whatever this is..

  pigeon-footed → splayed toes → several directions → indecision → ambivalence
  Do not cross the two clouds until each has several branches.

  Reject commemorate + dulcigenic → a sweet memorial. Prefer A monument can turn bitterness into sweet nostalgia without changing what happened.  
  Reject preindicant + sclerotical → a hardened omen. Follow foretelling → divination and hard anatomy → bone to knucklebones.
It is a prime example of esoteric LLM incantations, if not -excuse me- nonsense
