  • Dude, I am this 🤏 close to being banned in another community for daring to say that the current event is a genocide of palestinians.

    I'm not denying anything, let alone for the sake of convenience. I'm not apathetic. All I'm saying is, is that the current numbers are probably not completely accurate.

    I also explicitly said that the current estimate is probably not far off.

  • Keeping users siloed in Facebook’s garden shouldn’t be seen as a win for us.

    Sometimes the only winning move is not to play. If people hadn't federated with google's XMPP back in the day, google wouldn't have had the same level of control it had to kill XMPP as a competitor.

    We need to learn from the lessons of the past, and the past has resulted in the deaths of services when federating with corporations.

  • I haven't heard anything from a third party, and no doubt hamas is exagerating to some degree, but whatever the actual numbers are, I wouldn't think the current estimate of ~20,000 is far off. Israel is intentionally bombing civilians, so the estimated number sounds fairly reasonable to me.

    Easier to confirm, is the proportion of women & children. About half the population of Palestine is children, and about half are women. So ~75% being women or children also fits.

  • Star Trek: Tactical Assault for the DS

    I was absolutely trash at it, but I loved it. And to be honest, I thought it was just a very hard game to begin with. There is only so much you can do to manage your shields, weapons, and position before the ship becomes overwhelmed.

    The graphics and animations were solid too.

  • It'll look like what we already have. Swaths of users self hosting, with lots of redundancy to deal woth instances that have problems.

    And that might mean it needs to stay small, but that's OK. Not all success is measured in popularity.

  • Have you been living under a rock?

    To be completely fair, if they're in the U.S., the amount of propaganda flying around coupled with the complete lack of history being taught about the issue is more than enough to leave the average person unaware of these genocidal actions.

  • Nobody has so far given you a serious answer, so:

    Cutting - They only had IIRC bronze, which is not enough on its own to cut through the granite. However using sand to add friction makes it cut significant faster/easier.

    Moving miles - Boats are incredibly capable of carrying heavy loads with minimal energy expenditure to move said boat. Using logs and levers also goes far.

    Getting to the too of the pyramid, that's a little more of a mystery. But there is evidence they included ramps within the structure as they built the bigger ones as they went. And IIRC the smaller ones had pulley systems going through the center.

    It doesn't require fancy tech, just of patience and application of basic physics.

    Here is a guy using some of the basic movement techniques in his backyard with multi ton stones:

  • If it can be solved through software/programming the item correctly, then it sounds like it isn't an issue of replicator resolution.

    I'm not saying it's just a placebo. I think it might be a part of it though.
