Well now the government knows? That’s assuming they didn’t know and / or haven’t been informed ahead of publication. I don’t see where the danger in having this information available publicly is?

Thank you for the detailed reply.

1. I’ve used onedriver previously, or rather I do use it on my backup machine. While it works well what I’m missing is a progress indication for the download of files, I occasionally work with bigger video files f.ex. Also an option to keep directories synced permanently to the device would be great. In OneDrive you can check a box in the context menu to ‘make files available offline’. It keeps the file/directory synced and available offline. This is again useful for bigger projects. I could of course move those to a temporary location on disk but I do like the set and forget nature of working in automatically synced directories.

2. I assumed that’s best practice, thank you. What I find overwhelming is the amount of choice. Which is a general Linux “problem” I suppose. Yes, it’s possible and elegant to manage everything through the package manager and the default repos. But if I search for a specific program, like f.ex. a clipboard manager, I might just get recommended something that is not there. And all of a sudden I have an appimage. Or the nextcloud client for example, it’s on the flathub but only the appimage supports the above file on-demand feature.
   Btw, how can I be sure that software from the flathub is kept up to date? My understanding is that it’s often community maintained?

Fortunately it’s just my personal machine. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.

It’ll be enough of a challenge to properly transition existing docx to the gsuite were switching to.

See my comment below, we’re moving to gsuite. Basically, we have a problem with people not using the SharePoint but instead sending poorly version numbered documents per mail.
My argument was that if you’re forced to work online you’re more likely to do so in the shared folder. We’ll see if that’s true but at least we can get rid of office. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway. And we use zulip for communication.

Ding ding ding

From one evil to another…

The discussion went like nobody is properly using the SharePoint, but instead people send emails with poorly version numbered documents. After a couple of attempts to educate the users my argument was to drop the hammer: if you’re forced to work online you’re more likely to work in the shared folders. If that’s true, we’ll see. But in the meantime I can get rid of windows. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.

True, but people generally understand hammers. Llms? Not so much

I mean 2.4mio divided by 30k is 80. So that’s a lot of patreon months…

Pretty much. It’s incredibly tiring

In a 100 years it might, after our current world order has been consumed by the effects of unimpeded climate change. There’s hope yet for the Palestinians to have a go. /s

Nuclear fission is not paying for the biggest externality either, its waste products. That for some reason seems to be the people’s problem. And even then there doesn’t exist a permanent storage solution for it as of today anywhere on the planet (yes, I know Finland thinks they have it figured out next year, but at a capacity of 5500t it will only hold the waste of the 5 Finnish reactors). It’s absolute insanity to me how this gets brushed away so easily.

The USA are exporting the most freedomy freedom conceivable to the Saudis, 350 billion USD of cold hard freedom to be exact.

Investors be like

Capture One is not foss but fucking great

Yeah sure. But there’s a difference between moving a 2 ton vehicle per person or a bike.

Really puts into perspective what a monumental waste of energy individual traffic, also with electric cars, is as well.

The cheapest 256 SATA SSD i can find is 15€. The cheapest 512 GB is 24€. That’s a 9€ difference for double the capacity at retail prices. I can only imagine how marginal the cost savings for a big manufacturer like valve would be.

Ok, but hear me out, we can make atoms go boooooom so what about that???

All you do is attack the way I’m arguing, which you don’t seem enjoy. I don’t understand what the point of that is.

I’m not even disagreeing with your critic of the IDF. I just need to point out the absolute stupidity of your comment

French resistance during the second world war knew the Nazis would retaliate; they still operated and hid within the civilian population. There are former towns in France where only crumbling stone, abandoned cars, and a plaque to the dead remains, a vow to never rebuild and never forget. Everyone was killed and their homes burned in reprisal for maquis activity.

Are you saying the French women and children murdered by Nazis are the fault of the French partisans? Is this a grey moral area for you?

Are you siding with the Nazis, huh? HUH?

That’s just not necessary, nor a particularly pleasant debate style.

But I’m not getting that through to you. So enjoy your weekend!

What you absolutely lose track of while arguing is not whether what the IDF is doing wrong - it is. It is the way you’re arguing.

This conflict won’t be resolved by blaming only one side while glorifying the other. And glorifying Hamas is what you are doing when you are equaling them to the French partisans.

I’m open to the actual argument, that being are they in fact using human shields, and what is the IDFs responsibility in protecting these civilians. And funnily enough I agree with you here. Killing civilians is wrong no matter who does it. As is collective punishment.

What are you debating?

That it’s okay for Hamas to use civilian infrastracture as the base for their military operations?

That the IDF should refrain from attacking those targets because of the civilian casualties?

That the IDF is the same as the German Waffen-SS troops that massacred 642 men, women, and children before burning the village Oradour-sur-Glane to the ground? I assume you read the article you linked to.

Honestly based on your post I was not sure, so I went with the premise that you think it’s okay for Hamas to use civilian infrastructure because they’re basically french partisans.
Which I would argue they are not, because one (the partisans) were specifically targeting the invading force, while the other (Hamas) has a long history of specifically targeting civilians
