U.S. to Keep Sending Arms to Israel Despite Dire Conditions in Gaza
  • If Israel has nothing to hide, why isn't the international press not allowed in Gaza?

    And why do all those international surgeons, nurses, etc. going there all talk about kids with sniper wounds, all aid and humanitarian organisations talk about the dire conditions, etc?

  • U.S. to Keep Sending Arms to Israel Despite Dire Conditions in Gaza
  • So in your eyes, Israel is the sole victim here? But then how come all those international humanitarian organisations seem to disagree with you and paint completely different pictures on the reality on the ground?

  • Lack Of Interest In The PS5 Pro Is Forcing Scalpers To Sell Them For A Loss
  • For me the advantage of the consoles is the disc drive and the ability to trade your games.

    The advantage of PC games is that they are usually all working on your PC, you can install mods and that a PC is a lot more versatile than a console.

  • Graphics card upgrade
  • What are you going to use this GPU for. Simply for playing and you don't care about ray tracing AMD is king. Or if you find a deal on Intel.

    Self hosting LLMs and hobby AI/ML projects, NVIDIA.

    Blender - NVIDIA

    Internet Streaming - NVIDIA

    Video editing - NVIDIA

    Plex/Jellyfin - Intel

    Unfortunately in most cases NVIDIA is still the king.

    Check this link that will give you some ideas about the different GPUs: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gpus,4380.html

  • The Mozilla layoffs ... will get worse
  • You are really underestimating the complexity of the task of building a web engine.

    Another problem is that Chrome is already ubiquitous and most of the web sites are simply ignoring the Gecko and only optimise against Chromium.

    Don't get me wrong, I truly wish we had more completion and I hope those projects take off and with time become a viable alternative of Chromium but I am somehow doubtful.

  • Cheaper Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Could Hit Market Few Months From Now, But How Much?
  • Yes, these trifold phones look amazing. I am upgrading my phone every 4-5 years, and usually try not to overspend on it, so most likely I will skip buying trifold the next upgrade cycle so I guess 2030 the technology would be mature enough and more affordable.

  • Ghost of Tsushima - I've heard it's a nice game, but it overstays its welcome. Do you agree?
  • The combat is actually pretty good, the graphics and style is amazing. The story is a bit on the meh side. Overall, I think this game is worth it at a discount. I think I bought it for something like 20€ on a disc with the DLC and am planning to resell it at some point.

  • Intel is 'still committed to Arc,' but with fewer discrete GPUs and more integrated graphics
  • Yeah, unfortunately Nvidia killed it with the CUDA. They spent really a lot of time on this software but made it very ubiquitous unlike AMD which made ROCm one big of a mess.

    I don't like NVIDIA but my next GPU will be from them just because of that CUDA support.

    www.rescue.org Forgotten generation: After one year of conflict, the IRC warns of the life-long impacts for Gaza’s children

    In Gaza, an entire generation of children is now at risk of being ‘forgotten’. With the cumulative effects of unrelenting violence, forced displacement and loss of an entire school year likely to impact them for the rest of their lives. The time to act to provide relief and scale-up humanitarian aid...

    Forgotten generation: After one year of conflict, the IRC warns of the life-long impacts for Gaza’s children
    • About 17,000 children are estimated to be unaccompanied or separated from parents and caregivers. The IRC thinks this figure could be three times as high (51,000).
    • Frequent Israeli evacuation orders, detentions, and attacks have contributed to more families being separated in Gaza over the past few months.
    • Some children have been found living alone in hospitals.
    • Unaccompanied and separated children face high risks of child labor, exploitation, neglect, starvation, and long-term mental health impacts.
    • Every child, parent, and caregiver in Gaza is experiencing trauma.
    • IRC teams in Gaza are seeing increased rates of severe and acute malnutrition in children under five.
    • Children in Gaza have now missed one year of education because of the collapse of the education destruction of school buildings caused by Israeli bombardment.

    Is there an immutable distro based on Hyprland?

    Is there any immutable distro that's based on Hyprland? I really like their approach to tiling, but at the same time I prefer to have a solid experience without worrying that the next update might break some dependencies.

    Why are politicians doing nothing for first time home buyers?

    I am anxiously following the real estate market and prices are far outpacing the wage growth, making real estate really unaffordable for a lot of people, and yet there is very little political will from politicians to do anything about it.

    This is especially true for desirable areas and big cities, and slowly pushing low earners to the outskirts and even outside towns. I know plenty of people who hoarded multiple properties and now they simply rent them through Airbnb or booking not to mention big corporations trying to snap even more and rent them at outrageous prices. While plenty of people cannot afford even rent in those cities.

    Mind you I am not US based, but I know that this is pretty much a world phenomenon for quite a few years who got really accelerated by the COVID pandemic, but its effect will cripple future generations severely who will never be able to purchase their own roof over their head and they will forever be stuck with ever increasing rents increasing enormously the financial burden of those people.

    I don't know for you but I believe this is completely unsustainable in the long term and this will become an even bigger problem in the future and I wonder why there is so little done to tackle the problem now, and what are those politicians hope, that this will magically disappear tomorrow and all will be roses?

    Why aren't universally some laws against home flipping and people owning more than one residential property? I think the right of having a roof over your head is a basic human right and every person out there deserves to have a decent home and not be forced to live on the street.

    What are your favourite extensions?

    I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.

    One of my favorites are

    • Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
    • uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
    • Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
    • Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.

    What extensions do you guys use?
