I don’t get it. They were rich beyond most people’s wildest dreams. Why did they jump aboard the enshitification bandwagon?

Wow, amazed I’ve never come across this before. Thanks

Twitter: looks like the reich guy won!

Plot twist: AI comes to believe humanity consists solely of shithead scammers, initiates nuclear war

Amazing, thanks

Wow amazing, I’m going to give the steam one a go and go from there!

I’ve admittedly not looked much into games on Linux as it wasn’t my priority. I mostly played via steam on windows. What’s the equivalent route on Linux? Is steam available?

I was a pretty casual windows user, like just going along with its slow crapification because that was the path of least resistance. At work though via AWS I was exposed to various Linux desktop experiences and it was surprisingly fine. Then one day I was trying to do some mundane disk admin task that in Windows XP would have been fairly straight forward to root around in the control panel and find what to do. Searched in the windows 11 start bar for ‘disk management’ (or something similar, whatever it was it was exactly the name of the admin component). Did it find it? Did it heck. Instead it popped up bing (fucking bing??) web results complete with ads. Absolutely zero results for anything on the actual computer or remotely useful. I snapped. It’s done. Windows is crap and dead to me. Put Debian (personal preference) on my main boot drive, kept my windows disk just for the games I think will play better on it. That’s it, it’s over. Microsoft finally fucked it up and will have zero view of me except “this guy seems to play games periodically”. Adios you bloated pile of useless crap. You pour shame on our good memories of XP…

Me: doing a once in forever disk task, types Disk Management in start menu search

Windows: opens link in Bing searching for “Disk Management”, brings up results in browser including ads

Me: what the actual fuck

I think the quality contributors are probably not the ones moving to chatGPT…

When they bomb the hospital I’d say you have a point. But until then it seems to me to be a flex to show how completely compromised Hezbollah’s communications are. Israel are daring them to go get the gold out. (I am giving Hezbollah some credit that they can hide gold slightly better than a cursory glance round some offices by a BBC crew would reveal. I also don’t think it’s unreasonable to believe they would actually hide gold in a hospital but YMMV…)

Obviously if they did move it they would be tracked every inch to their secondary location. It is psyops but - if we’re a little less cynical - I think it’s Israel Vs Hezbollah psyops.

That to me to make a little more sense as a primary motive. Israel wants to discredit Hezbollah leadership above all else. So what better way to do it than advertise that they’re powerless to go and retrieve part of their treasury?

Personally, I would have claimed Hezbollah were using it as a HQ / meeting place. Because there is no physical evidence of that, and it’s far more likely to be taken by people to be a warning of bombing. Which would have the panic effect you mention.

Claiming there’s a pile of gold there is just strange. A) it’s quite easy to show there isn’t (assuming Hezbollah haven’t just moved it already) and b) it’s not really a warning of bombing. One would expect Israel to drop special forces in and confiscate the gold, not blow it up…

It just seems like an odd thing to claim. If it were true it gives Hezbollah notice to move it all somewhere else (which, let’s be neutral, may have happened). If it’s a complete lie, it doesn’t justify bombing a hospital and you just end with journalists like the BBC walking around saying “no there isn’t”.

So either way it just seems like an odd announcement to make.

They haven’t destroyed the hospital though?

I’m not sure what the point of all this is? As if gold was going to be stacked in a broom cupboard or something.

If the bunker is real the entrance is going to be under a dusty mat at the back of an office under a pile of chairs. Not a door off corridor B.

If it’s made up, not sure what Israel gains from that particular lie since it’s so easy for the likes of BBC to put out a video like the above.

While these are both certainly true it has also been annoying when I’ve added a regular contact but it doesn’t show up in WhatsApp straight away

Amazon’s cloud based Simple Storage Service (hence the S3). It is, in ELI5 terms, a file storage service like Microsoft’s OneDrive or Apple’s iCloud. A bit like a harddrive reached over the internet. You transfer files to and from it.

That’s grossly oversimplifying of course. S3 has some important technical differences to a straight up “cloud drive”. And it comes with a mind boggling array of options so it can be customised to be the storage of all sorts of very large real world applications and websites.

Just select yourself to chat with in Teams (top option in contacts) and put a battery on the delete key like a professional…

That’s what I used to be able to do. It was pressing the back and cancel buttons in some combination brought up a hidden menu where you could reset the toner levels. You can still bring the menu up on mine but now it ignores any reset you do.
