ZunarJ5··on The rise and fall of snake oil
The manosphere is rife with snake oil salesmen, it just changes form with time. Snake Oil as a concept is as old as money. Everyone wants a miracle, especially when hope can be commodified.

ZunarJ5··on Palantir employees are starting to wonder if they're the bad guys
Most of this tech oligarch group seems pathetic in this way. It's tragic, yes, but they're making their own bed.

I have a complicated lisfranc injury that's taken years now to sort due to covid. My partner is still dealing with autoimmune issues. We will be dealing with the aftermath for decades.

That manifesto was antihuman.
ZunarJ5··on Born Private: Reserve your child's first email address with Proton
I wish it was just Drive. They seem to acquire or put these new modules in half baked and they see little to no user end changes for years. I've been with them a long time and I like them but I increasingly dread their announcements when basic features aren't implemented.

I really wish they would improve existing features rather than this stuff. They've been promising a Drive client for Linux for years.

ZunarJ5··on U.S. exempts oil industry from protecting Gulf animals, for 'national security'
"Definitive of what capitalism is, this separation severely limits the scope of the political. Devolving vast aspects of social life to the rule of “the market” (in reality, to large corporations), it declares them off-limits to democratic decision-making, collective action, and public control. Its very structure, therefore, deprives us of the ability to decide collectively exactly what and how much we want to produce, on what energic basis and through what kinds of social relations. It deprives us, too, of the capacity to determine how we want to use the social surplus we collectively produce; how we want to relate to nature and to future generations; how we want to organize the work of social reproduction and its relation to that of production. Capitalism, in sum, is fundamentally anti-democratic. Even in the best-case scenario, democracy in a capitalist society must perforce be limited and weak."

ZunarJ5··on Gulf Countries' Frustration with the US Grows as War Wears On
IHL applies to all parties and all weapon types. Using unguided weapons in populated areas carries its own legal exposure, yes. But that's a separate analysis.

The discussion here is about a specific strike by the state with the most advanced intelligence and precision strike capability on earth, where multiple legal experts have concluded the duty to verify was not met. The question of what other actors do with less precise weapons doesn't mitigate that failure.

ZunarJ5··on Gulf Countries' Frustration with the US Grows as War Wears On
Exactly. And the inverse holds too. Precision capability raises the duty to verify, which is precisely what Van Schaack and HRW argue the US failed to do here.
ZunarJ5··on Gulf Countries' Frustration with the US Grows as War Wears On
> Shannon Bosch, an associate professor of law at Edith Cowan University, analyzed the strike from the perspective of international humanitarian law (IHL). Without drawing firm conclusions, Bosch noted that schools and children under 18 are especially protected under IHL, concluding that "the legality of that strike turns on whether the expected harm to children and the school was excessive compared to the military advantage gained by striking the target."[36] UN human rights experts characterized the strike as a potential war crime under the Rome Statute.[87] Regarding the attack, international humanitarian law expert Janina Dill said that attackers are required to "verify the status" of targets to avoid harming civilians. Beth Van Schaack said the US "should have known that a school was in the vicinity".[30] HRW said the same, adding that beyond the laws of war requiring precise intelligence, the strike's proximity to civilian infrastructure required advanced notice.[3]

From the wikipedia. Honestly with this kind of disregard for human life exhibited by the above commenter, the aggressors deserve everything thats coming to them. Absolutely disgusting.

ZunarJ5··on Iran's South Pars Gas Field Is Attacked by Israel, Sending Energy Prices Soaring
A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink. "I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.

"Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."

This didn't have to happen. The world is less safe now because America loves bombing brown people more than it loves its own children.

Regardless of the Nextcloud issue. It's probably just a web wrapper then.
