They’re still killing people daily in Gaza, and displacing people in the west bank, despite a nominal ceasefire.

That means he’ll stop supporting Israel with their genocide and other destabilising actions, right?

Blatter doesn’t run FIFA any more. And was fine with Russia and Qatar having the world cup, so I’m guessing the principles arrived when he retired.

Manpower is a bigger issue for Ukraine compared to Russia. Ukraine is at least not doing human wave tactics and doing more to keep their guys alive, but Russia can last longer in that aspect as well.

I do agree that Putin can’t stop the war for anything less than complete victory, otherwise people will start asking questions about why this was necessary as you said.

Yeah, they are still able to trade with China (which happens to make everything anyway), and as opposed to most countries, Russia can still draw on a lot of the remaining Soviet infrastructure that was specifically built because Russia needed to be self sufficient during the cold war.

As long as Putin can manage to remain in power Russia can keep this war going.

Yeah, I haven’t either. I don’t even know how I installed it (package manager or raw). Will need to look into that.

I used to run it for a while (it might actually still be running, I’d need to check my VPS and delete it if it is), but I feel like RSS readers kind of got overtaken by Reddit (and Lemmy). I tried going back to it again a few times, but the lack of comments felt off after having experienced Reddit.

Or get pulled out of your tank by Hamas only for the IDF to try to kill you so you’re not an extra hostage.

Should be a law that forces anyone that defends slavery to be sold into slavery.

They usually go with ‘men of military age’, which is an age range of 16 to 65, to pad their numbers of Hamas.

Lol, because insurgents will prefer a truck that needs to be charged out in the open for hours over one that can be filled using jerrycans.

Electric vehicles are great, but I doubt the Tesla supercharger network extends to wherever the air force expects to be bombing people next.

And yet, that’s the excuse they use to continue this genocide.

I’d be amazed if any of them were still alive at this stage. There’s barely any buildings standing, and sourcing food is a huge challenge too. I’m not sure how anyone could still believe they’re trying to get hostages out.

Yeah, ideally it should be government going to industry bodies, unions, etc if they need to know more about the topic they’re trying to regulate instead of the current system where industry groups are basically writing laws.

And when the EU writes a regulation like mandating USB-C chargers, they’ll make sure the companies making phones are on board and get to have realistic timelines to implement these things. If you’re going to regulate an industry you kind of need their expertise, unfortunately.

Gaza was already that.

Really depends on what data it is and whether you want to search it regularly or just as a one time thing.

You could load them into an rdbms (MySQL/Postgres) and have it handle the indexing, or use python tools to process the files. Something like elasticsearch could work too.

If it’s just a one time thing grep is probably fine tho.

Aleph could work as well but I have no experience with it.

I guess it depends on how much time you want to invest in setting something up versus how much time you’d lose waiting for grep to finish (if you only need to search a certain column, you can create an index with just that column using awk, search that index file, then extract the full line from the source file based on that result, but at that point you’re basically creating a new database engine).

I fully expect that years from now we’ll find out he started WWIII over some petty bullshit.

He probably did it so he wouldn’t have to pay for the wedding or some shit like that.

When the US does it, it’s fine.
