China just makes what people ask it to. So many places moved all their production to China for cheap labour, and most companies trying to skimp on one thing are also going to skimp on others like materials and quality control. iPhones are also made in China and most people consider them to be high quality. The problem is more just capitalism than China specifically.

I had been trying out Linux and finally decided to install it to my ssd. The timing ended up such that I got the wifi issues on the new install but not my old one, and they basically make the OS unusable. I didn't realise any of this and am new so did heaps of reinstalling and searching trying to figure out what had gone wrong since it was all fine when it was installed on my HDD.

I finally found some forum posts and bug reports about this after wasting a day assuming it was something I'd done wrong 😂.

Gonna stick to lts kernel from now on I think. 6.6.6 seemed pretty fitting to me, even if it was 6.6.5 that actually broke it.

It's a fish I'd like to duck.

The bot has not done a great job here. It's a very long (but worthwhile) read. Kind of incredibly depressing also.

one of us, one of us

I see what you're saying, and perhaps you're right. I am more hopeful, though. Plenty of Israelis support Palestine and in the early days the Palestinians welcomed the Jews. It's not fair to simply dismiss vast groups of people as irrational or terrorists. At one point in time these people got along, and even though a lot has happened since then I don't think it's impossible to get back there.

I think Western support does play a large role, it's the reason why the Israeli military is what it is and probably why Israel feels free to indiscriminately attack Palestine. If our support was more conditional and not so one sided it would encourage cooperation and more peaceful resolutions.

I think I may have misunderstood you, I thought you were saying that America was responsible for Israel.

You don't have to kill all the Israeli's to get rid of Israel. Nations are made by people accepting that they exist. Before Israel was Israel it was just a bunch of politically savvy zionists who started telling people to move there. With a lot of wealthy Jewish investors they just started buying land and refusing to let Palestinians work on it. Over time and with enough established countries recognising Israel as its own thing, that's what it became.

If tomorrow the entire world just decided that Israel didn't exist then it would cease to, they may object but they'd be invaders occupying land that doesn't belong to them. It might sound silly but this is how Israel was created.

That's not how it started at all, the Brits have a lot more to do with this one.

This is ridiculous, the first anti zionists were all Jewish. Some were even assassinated for their views. Zionism should not be conflated with Jewishness at all.

I tip less often than the average American because I'm from Australia. Also tipping is dehumanising, no one should have to dance for their supper.

That's a pretty good way to put it.

Yeah, I just want cheaper rent, but realistically that'll never happen.

yeah, and then a cheeky rent hike to cover aircon removal.

O! Also good, even if I'm still salty about the ending changes.

It was DC, but yeah. I mean I think Marvel movies can be a bit of fun, and Joker stands out as being quite different to most superhero movies which is why it got a lot of attention.

Personally my favourite superhero movie is still Birdman.

can confirm

Ahaha, kicking myself now.

I do but I'd rather not post. It wasn't very exciting to be honest, the aircon is actually still basically intact and just a bit bent. Mostly just glass everywhere from the window it fell out of. I think the actual impact happened in the garden bed because no tiles were cracked and there's a bit of an in dent in the soil. There's also now a perilous looking shard hanging out the above window which looks like it wants to fall down at any moment. The neighbour can't get to it because it's outside of a window they can't open.

I think they're commenting on all the people who thought it was amazing because they'd mostly been exposed to Marvel movies.

ps: I have no dogs in this fight
