Isn’t Israel a compulsory-service country where all citizens spend a year training as a soldier? Its funny that they’re called hostages when captured, not prisoners. Hostages are when you kidnap non-combatants like poor people living without secure food or water … so exactly the opposite of what they’re labeling captives by the invader or the impoverished civilian defenders.
It’s pretty accurate tho
Opinions are not gauged for accuracy. They’re just opinions.
Their (intentional) lack of planning for what to do when the animals were no longer profitable anymore should not be rewarded by letting them continue to pour the rest of their coins out of their piggy bank while the animals die.
They had a plan to ensure the animals had a home before the sale of the land was complete. It wasn’t guaranteed utopia but it wasn’t a guaranteed hellhole either.
When choosing between euthanasia and re-homing, the park chose life. Instead, now it’s Whale Stew for weeks.
I use an iPhone because I don’t like the idea behind Android.
“Oi, Pot,” shouted the kettle.
All your data to Google to sell to the highest bidder,
That’s not “the idea behind Android”.
Android does none of this by default; Google services like Gmail are ad-supported, but they’re up-front about using your content to serve you targeted ads.
Both Google and apple still COLLECT your data. Apple tells you it doesn’t do anything with it. It’s fun to trust Apple in this, so carry on.
I’m not saying you’re doing more than repeating Apple’s fud, though. You’re a huge help to them.
in exchange for a generations-old phone at the same price as an iPhone.
This is comically incorrect as Apple’s never been on the bleeding edge of phone tech past 2010. But they will tell you they are, and that’s all some people need.
Apple promises you compatibility as long as you stay on the one brand and refresh everything every few years. They’re a hardware vendor, simple-as, and their entire schtick is to keep you locked in that refresh cycle. Absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as your eyes are open and your wallet can cope.
Google shows you ads based on content of yours they’re storing.
android powers 70% of the phones in the known universe. Currently it likes to bundle Google add-ons in a default fashion but in contrast does not lock you into using just them.
A good example is Microsoft which [threw an] awful lot of money and resources at Windows Phone only to give up eventually.
I just want to point out that they started or bought themselves into a Windows phone idea no less than three times before giving up, ruining Nokia in the process.
Oh. And some of the Nokia handsets were gorgeous.
And when you feed bears you get bears that can’t survive on their own.
Same deal.
“we’re closing. We cannot afford to keep these whales with no staff and no land. We want to move them to another habitat which has agreed to keep these animals which cannot be released.”
“No because they could maybe be mistreated.”
“They WILL be neglected here and the people buying the land will need them gone. It’s euthanasia or transport. Or you adopt them.”
Barring a time machine to stop the park from opening in 1961, that’s the options.
No need to look up how to do a clean install.
The suggestion you don’t know that enterprise OSes have been doing clean installs and removals of a product and all its dependencies for 25 years as a critical test before issuing said packages suggests you’re working around too many problems without solving them.
We did devops by pxe-based kickstart and then simple package updates before devops was even a word. It still does better than Ansible does now.
I maintained a VPN tool for years.
I also worked as OS Security for a company that was paying MANY people to maintain an enterprise Linux distro and all the parts in it, based on their ridiculously deep knowledge of the Unix kernel and Unix apps. I will never have a job or a mission half as awesome as that was. And for the linux dev labour the company helped finance, it shouldn’t be so hated; but it is.
Thank you for your obscure but vital service.
Every chapter made me sure I didn’t want to climb everest.
“little Greta”
…ew. Who talks about an adult woman like that in the news?!
As discussed in every other copy of this article:
She’s short.
Still container crutches?
My boss one time told me about a similar deal when he was a farm kid in the middle of nowhere, when a driver had failed to navigate a corner at speed (velocitized, like hypnotized); and my poor boss watched a broken human die at 6.
That stuff changes ya, man.
Dependency hell is self-inflicted, but sparkle-junkie devs are complicit: it’s their fault they don’t know of long-term-support enterprise OSes and don’t use one as a primary port.
Yes. Stupidity and hate it also a weapon for the Canadian-style fascists.
Still on container crutches?
My employer is not on the list. Phew.
There are products that will let you back up onto your buddy’s free space and vice-versa, but the simplest pricy thing you can do is to drop a NAS at a friend’s place and set up a VPN.
But maybe the monthly fee is okay for now. Maybe consider proton for files instead?
Ethernet cables still reign.
In my area, a good homeplug setup reigns over wifi for streaming.
