- vladgurDefine properly. As a native speaker who immigrated to the US decades ago, I don’t find writing proper Russian grammar that difficult.
- In a large organization with hundreds of business-critical Java applications you can bring them all up to one version at once. It’s quite normal to have multiple versions of JDK being used by different applications
- Any idea why that is? Why is safety of tap water high(I hope) priority in some parts of the world and not the others?
Is it simply the economics of water purification and delivery or something else?
- This could be a general issue with SE Asia, but one thing that was a breath of fresh air for me as I departed Jakarta from my Bali trip last year was a thought that I no longer need to worry about quality of water being used to wash salad veggies or clean my toothbrush with.
Clean safe water from the sink was definitely not something I experienced in Bali in 2024 and I had the similar impression in Jakart
- #TIL Proxmox 9.1 is out.
Im still on 8.x -- it was a fun way to consolidate my different hacky projects -- home assistant, frigate, wireguard, qbittorrent etc
Kinda scared to think of what it would take to upgrade to 9.1 :)
- Pretty amazing support from the major muslim nations.
"The resolution passed with 13 votes in favor and zero votes against. Russia and China, either of which could have vetoed it, abstained, apparently swayed by the support for the resolution from a number of Arab and Muslim nations: Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as Indonesia, Turkey and Pakistan, which is a member of the Council." https://archive.ph/4huV1
- I read through the linked article and an article on smex.org and there was nothing about "remote control backdoor access".
It complains about inability to uninstall from the manufacturers handset which is a manufacturers decision.
Again both articles manufacture controversy simply by nature that the Appcloud is associated with an Israeli company, not by what the app actually does or not by the fact that nobody forced Samsung to install this app on their handsets.
If you have information showing that Samsung is selling phones that are remote controlled by another government or corporate actor, that would be extremely newsworthy. Please share these news when you find them
- Which of those historical facts you find biased?
Ps humans are biased. Humans need to be able to have respectful discussions
- Which deranged logic are you referring to?
Also America is behind all sufferings in the world?
That’s some amazing interpretation of reality
- he cited a single Israeli private citizen. not Israeli leaders.
The fact that a data-harvesting bloatware is installed on common handsets should be controversial enough.
Both the title of this post and the link try to add "Israel is baaaad" angle as just because a company was founded in Israel.
Israel is a middle-eastern tech hub that produces a lot of tech companies and innovations. Its just a numbers game that some of them will be working on things of questionable value to humanity.
What GP suggesting is discriminating against all technologies developed by Israel because of his political views, nothing more.
- unfortunately there is nothing like that for the desktop apps.
Even mobile app devs have https://github.com/mobile-next
- Another question regarding Helix - its being built as a platform for private air-gap-ready ai agents that can work against private LLM models.
Are there appliances or easy to deploy hardware that allow one to run these private models on-premise vs cloud
- I’m curious how far are we from giving coding agents access to these desktop agents so that when we are using say Claude Code to build a native desktop app, the coding agents can actually see and act on the desktop UI that it is building
- I find middleeastmonitor.com an extremely biased anti-israeli propaganda piece that makes BBC seem like an unbiased news organization.
If you search for the name "Moran Gaz" used in this article to conclude that "Gaz stated that her department has found no evidence of sexual violence" is actually not true and is Moran's statements were quite nuanced:
" In the end, we have no complainants. What was presented in the media compared to what will ultimately emerge will be completely different. Either because the victims were murdered, or because the women who were raped by them are not prepared to reveal it. We contacted women's rights organizations and asked for cooperation. They told us that they simply did not contact them. There were parents who contacted the organizations and asked what to do if something happened to their daughter, but they did not disclose the abuse...I know there is public expectation and understand the need to address the horrific sexual crimes and sexual assaults that have been committed, but the vast majority of them will not be able to meet the threshold of proof in court, and the criticism will ultimately come to the prosecutor's office – unjustly. "
>> Either because the victims were murdered, or because the women who were raped by them are not prepared to reveal it.
>> We contacted women's rights organizations and asked for cooperation. They told us that they simply did not contact them.
This reads entirely different that what that article from MiddleEastMonitor.com leads you to believe. The way its titled and the way you interpreted is there were no sexual assaults, only slaughter, only murders.

- Im not going to engage in "Hamas slaughered festival goers on camera, killed a father in front of his kids, while blowing out one their eyes and kidnapped toddlers, but we will question the sex crimes being committed".
Is protecting the killers of families, babies and kidnappers of toddlers from accusations of sexual assault really the proverbial "hill you want to die on"?
Lets focus on order of operatons:
1) Hamas started a war
2) Israel responded in order to free its citizens and protect from future attacks.
- >> usually accompanied by heavily artillery fire and drone strikes, to clear out the natives.
You clearly juxtapositioned Israelis vs the natives -- who did you mean by natives if not the Palestinian arabs?
Regarding descendants of Jews being Palestinains -- I find the way you present this interesting genetic fact quite misleading, making it sound that modern day palestinians have exclusive genetic connection to the land, whereas all genetic studies done in modern years show that modern day palestinian arabs AND ashkenazi jews AND mizrahi(middle-eastern) jews have clear genetic ties to people who inhabited that land in the bronze age(aka Moses era).
Lastly, its not true that modern israelis are LARGELY a group of europeans migrated from europe. Mizrahi jews(middle east and north africa) are the largest ethnic group in Israel. Not descendants of Ashkenazi europeans. Thank Iraq and Yemen for ethnically cleansing their countries of jews in 1948 for that.
