I think this is what happens when mainstream political parties legitimise this kind of anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Everyone is pointing at social media, what about Sunak/Braverman/Patel? Not to mention the odious Farage.

I lay a lot of the blame at their feet.

And also - I realise it makes no sense (the perpetrator is British born!) but as has so often been said: You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into. So yeah, here we are. Madness.

Setting his career back 10 years?! I’d expect him to be booted from the force at the very least.

Yeah this was the main take-away for me, too. You’d expect they’d have ironclad QA when doing shit like this.

Found this post that explains what happened in detail: https://lemmy.ohaa.xyz/post/3522666

As an application developer (rather than someone who can/does code operating systems) I was just left open-mouthed …

Looks like they’re delivering “code as content” to get around the rigour of getting an updated driver authorised by MS. I realise they can’t wait too long for driver approval for antivirus releases but surely - surely - you have an ironclad QA process if you’re playing with fire like this.

Outstanding. You don’t often see content this good.

No shit, Sherlock.

That looks more like a polar bear to me!!

Israel is seriously losing the plot. And possibly it’s grasp on reality.

Don’t they have a super right-wing government right now? This kind of frothing at the mouth sure sounds like it.

I mean, I do understand him saying: “don’t cut off water and power to over a million civilians, because it will be counterproductive in the long term”.

But what he should really be saying is “don’t cut off water and power to over a million civilians because that’s fucking evil”.

How did we get to this position where no leaders of the West will stand up and call this out for what it is?

I understand it’s a complex situation, but treating an entire people like they’re subhuman is morally unacceptable. And I can’t fucking believe that the sodding Israelis - of all people - don’t know this.

Please please please please do so

Honestly, in this post-truth world … I don’t believe a freaking word of it …

Man, if I could upvote this comment more than once I would.

Expresses my sentiments exactly.

I visited Israel years ago - shortly after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin - and remember coming across a class (girls, around 7-8 years old) out on a school trip … and they had 3 guys carrying assault rifles to protect them. And I remember thinking: “whatever it is you’re fighting for … isn’t worth it if you have to live like this”

And sadly I think it’s only got worse since that time.

Very interesting! I visited Lisbon a month ago for a couple of days (yes I know I was part of the problem!) and I’ve rarely seen a city more overrun by tourists … definitely worse than Barcelona and probably on a par with Venice.

It didn’t feel like a city where normal people live and work (and we went quite far afield). Pretty sorry to see it in this state I hope they manage to sort it out.

Well, what a surprise!

Dear God!

Always fully open! More airflow, less stuffiness. Having said that, we don’t share a home with anyone else.

My sister in law was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, after having covid - at the age of 61 …

The best thing about breaking up with someone is that you’ll get to fall in love again.

Obviously don’t rush that or seek it out, but it will happen at some point.

I always think that breaking up from a decently long relationship is like losing a part of yourself - take your time and make yourself whole before trying to fill that void with the “easy fix” of starting a relationship with someone else.

How do you do that? It just takes time. Do things you love doing. Spend time with people who bring joy to your life. Embrace life! Say yes to new experiences. Be brave.

And then - probably when you least expect it - you’ll meet someone who makes you realise that breaking up was the best thing that could have happened to you.
