it’s also obvious that the benefits from Ai are just shallow stuff like helping the consumer do things with their voice instead of clicking buttons.
Not obvious to the billionaires and hedge funds who own most of the stock market.
Never forget that wealth and power doesn’t automatically equal intelligence and competence…
They’ve had fab problems for years
Just checking: do you mean fabrication problems or FABULOUS problems? 😛
Your own link states that “in part” definitions may lead to highly subjective conclusions.
Yeah, that part means that you don’t have to kill every single Palestinian in order for your deliberate eradicative campaign to be a genocide. It doesn’t mean “killing any part of a people is genocide” 🤦
By this measure, the death penalty in the US would be considered genocide “in part” (especially if the judge, jurors, or clerks are mostly white and the executed person is of color, so as to establish that a “group” is targeting another group). A person acting in self-defense with a resulting death to the aggressor may also fall into the genocide criteria
Nope. Of COURSE not. I’m almost completely convinced that you’re arguing in bad faith. That or you’re extremely literal-minded AND not too smart… These are not difficult concepts for most people to understand and differentiate once it’s pointed out to them.
If Israel is only intent on destroying the Hamas terrorist organization
Yeah, that’s a negative. They’re trying to kill or displace away from the area every single Gazan and they’re already at over 90% displacement.
it is technically a political party, but they broadened their horizons on October 7th, I guess…
No, it’s a terrorist organization masquerading as a government. Critical infrastructure such as schools and hospitals are de facto run by UNRWA, not Hamas.
and not the whole Gazan/Palestinian population
That IS their actual target. Your Hasbara hypothetical isn’t helpful.
could it really still be labeled as genocide?
In that purely hypothetical scenario, whether it’s still a genocide would depend on a number of factors, including whether or not they take great care to avoid civilian casualties and only target known Hamas targets. They don’t, never have, and never will.
As I said, some people will even say a single death may be genocide “in part,”
Nobody not arguing in bad faith, profoundly confused/ignorant, or colossally dense. Since I gave you the definition, it’s either bad faith or stupidity in your case.
so this widening of the definition just weakens the term, unfortunately.
No, it’s not a widening. It’s a specifying that you don’t have to successfully eliminate everyone for it to be a genocide. A distinction that most adults not arguing in bad faith have no trouble comprehending.
It’s arguable whether there’s a genocide taking place
I love it when I know from the first sentence that there’s some awful apologia coming up… 🤦
If Israel really wanted to eliminate everyone
That’s a CHILD’S definition of genocide.
The ACTUAL definition from the convention itself is thus, first paragraph bolding mine:
any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:
- (a) Killing members of the group;
- (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
- © Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
- (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
- (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
— Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article 2[\[8\]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_Convention#cite_note-Convention-text-8)
UsingRedefining the word ‘genocide’ soeasilydisingenuously and/or out of ignorance really takes away from theweightscope of thetermatrocities, unnecessarily defending the indefensible
Fixed It for you.
Yeah, because if they were accepting ads from the Russian government, Hamas, Hezbollah, or ISIS, nobody would bat an eye, right? 🙄
What has happened since shows the
delicateservile relationship Google has kept with its advertising client, the fascist apartheid state Israel
Fixed it for them.
And always about protecting the hegemony of the rich and powerful.
It’s never about the struggling artist/inventor just wanting to be paid for their work as the lobbyists and the politicians they own pretend every time they want to fuck over regular people some more.
I half expected that link to be to Psycho Killer 😁
Way to focus on the important parts 🙄
Probably, but it’s much more fun to imagine a cheetah hauling ass at the speed of a modern supercar 😂
Damn, that’s a fast ass-cheetah!
What with passenger planes like the one depicted typically going 575-600 mph and the bar only 3 times as long, that dude is sprinting at upto 200mph!

All I wanted to do was install and play a Windows game outside of Steam and I tried everything the documentation and people here on Lemmy (who swore up and down that it’s the easiest thing in the world, like every Linux advocate always does) recommended for TWO WEEKS without getting this simple task accomplished before reaching “fuck this bullshit” and switching to Tiny11.
It’s stated clearly in the documentation that CORE can’t be updated and is thus only recommended for testing and not as a daily driver, which is listed as one of the differences between base and core.
Happy testing, though 🤷
EDIT3: VM not tested yet, but an issue on the GitHub seems to corroborate my initial assumption.
Dude. That’s one user making an incorrect assumption. I’ve used it as my laptop daily driver for several months and updated a few times. It did NOT turn into Windows 11.
Do note that this system is liable to leave your computer vulnerable as it has no way to update itself from within the OS.
Yeah, as shadowtofu points out below, you’re thinking of Tiny11 Core, which is the extra stripped down version that’s not recommended for most users.
Tiny11 can update just fine, it just won’t nag you to immediately update all the time like regular windows does.
I’ve been using Tiny11 as my secondary daily driver (my desktop main is stil running Windows 10) for a few months now, updating roughly once a month (with the option to do it more often if I want to) with absolutely no problems.
And is about 50 times as much of a hassle to work with based on my experience with Jammy Jellybean…
On a laptop with 8GB+ though (or probably even half that), Tiny11 feels like Ned Flanders’ ski suit: does everything you want it to easily without getting in the way.
Personally, I’ve been really happy with Tiny11.
It’s basically Windows 11 without all the bloat, spyware and other annoying anti-features. Switching from Windows 11 to Tiny11 took my 2019 ThinkPad from a boot time of over two minutes to under 10 seconds with all other performance aspects similarly improved as far as I can tell!
It’s basically the best of all worlds as far as I’m concerned. And without financially incentivizing Microsoft to keep screwing their end users too!
You mean even if it didn’t? Because it definitely DOES and you’re absolutely right about the rest
