abdusco··on Kip: A programming language based on grammatical cases of Turkish
Yep. I was expecting to see an existing language (usually Rust) with keywords swapped with Turkish translations, but no, this is actually really nice.

abdusco··on Apple to focus on 'quality and underlying performance' with iOS 27 next year
Being a software dev dissuaded me from upgrading at all. I used to live on the cutting edge, now I don't update unless I am forced to. I stick to the version that works for me.
abdusco··on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash
I had to remind myself what that was about

> The Xbox One reveal disaster in 2013 stemmed from controversial policies that were widely rejected by consumers, primarily the mandatory 24-hour online check-in (effectively an "always-online" requirement) and severe restrictions on used games. Compounded by a primary focus on TV and media features over gaming, and a higher price tag of $499 with a mandatory Kinect, the policies caused a massive public backlash. This allowed the PlayStation 4 to successfully position itself as the consumer-friendly gaming option, ultimately forcing Microsoft to reverse all the controversial DRM policies before the console's launch.

Any recommendations for >20gbit/s enclosures with passive cooling (that are also not huge)?

I have a 10gbit/s enclosure and a 4TB gen4 nvme in it. It pains me to know that it could achieve >3GB/s write speeds but hindered by the interface.

Umm. The ASCII code for h is 102 ;)

> Part of the reason is the systematic destruction of farmland by the Israeli military. Ground troops have demolished greenhouses; bulldozers have toppled orchards, ploughed out crops and crushed the soil; and planes have sprayed herbicides over the fields.

> The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) justify these attacks by claiming that “Hamas often operates from within orchards, fields, and agricultural land.” And apparently from hospitals, schools, universities, industrial estates and any other resources on which the Palestinians depend.

Everyone and everything that can be killed is Hamas and must be killed, apparently.

abdusco··on How to Burst the Israeli Bubble
The sense of impunity does that. Both countries are exploiting incompetent US presidents and interpret or ignore international laws as they wish. They know nothing will happen, not even a slap on the wrist.

Worse yet, this will be flagged and censored as soon as it gathers some interest.
abdusco··on 'Lavender': The AI machine directing Israel's bombing spree in Gaza (2024)
It will create more extremists, which will be enough for Israel to justify further murders and give deeper into their blood lust. Repeat until they murder everyone. It'll be alright because they are defending themselves.

Propaganda already under way to blame Hamas for derailing the peace talks, when its clear that this will cause Qatar to back out, at least temporarily. It repeats Israel's playbook: antagonize the neighbors and blame them for it. Israel must have known this, and wanted this to happen because they gain to prolong the war.

Israel is making a fool out of the US, and they'll suck it up and pretend nothing happened, in fact, join Israel to blame Hamas for derailing the peace talks.

abdusco··on Israel committing genocide in Gaza, scholars group says
Everything Israel says is taken at face value and parroted by the western media, but anything Palestinians say is scrutinized and cast doubt and smeared as "Hamas lies".

The only way that neither side can object is from international journalists. Guess what, they're not allowed in, lest the truth comes out.

abdusco··on Israel committing genocide in Gaza, scholars group says
> The limit to Israel's actions is not its morality or its military means, it's the international opinion.

And they're trying their best to silence the Gazan voice by not letting in any international journalists, labeling every journalist as Hamas, killing them all, one camera at a time. Or five.

Let's see how long this lasts before Hasbara bots censor it.
abdusco··on UN demands accountability over Gaza hospital attack as Israel releases findings
I think the only thing Hamas succeeded in doing is to expose Israel's evil acts to the world for a little while, until the west says "..., anyway" and goes back to being best buddies with Israel, singing and chanting how righteous they are.

So far the only thing that's close to a sanction from the EU is Norway divesting from some Israeli companies[0] and the EU _proposing_ (!) to suspend Israel from a research program[1].

That will show 'em!

I love that it's substantially faster than ChatGPT's image generation. It takes ages, so slow that the app tells you to not wait and sends you notification when the generation finishes.

abdusco··on Five journalists among 20 killed in Israeli strike on Gaza hospital
I know about the policy, but some of them get a hold and get unflagged. I'm just hoping to raise awareness.
abdusco··on [dead]
Only after it's too late for Gaza, will the West give Israel a slap on the wrist. After some half-assed sanctions they will be best buddies again and the sanctions will be lifted silently. Then they'll turn a blind eye when Israel continues with annexing the West Bank. They will paint themselves as the victim for having to take that land. And the West will nod and stand by them.

Israel knows that they can get away with it because they always do. For them, it's worth taking some "reputational damage" in the short run, because it's worth it in the long run.

abdusco··on Five journalists among 20 killed in Israeli strike on Gaza hospital
Those "mistakes" and insubordinations are somehow _very_ convenient for Israel's agenda.

Apparently one strike isn't enough for the army that can perform point strikes against scientists in Iran, they "fumble" and bomb a hospital, then do it again and bomb the people who rush in to help.

The last witnesses who are able to expose the extent of unimaginable cruelty are being threatened, targeted and killed off.

abdusco··on Five journalists among 20 killed in Israeli strike on Gaza hospital
> In a statement, the Israeli military says it “regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals and does not target journalists as such".

I guess they were targeting supposed Hamas operatives being treated in an operating room. It's too bad that five journalists were there. They are very sorry that journalists' bodies got in the way of the bomb.

That's a very sophisticated statement from a cave ~painter~ designer :)
