The accepted definition of genocide isn’t what you think it is. It isn’t what I thought it was either, until I educated myself.

I can’t see any way to argue that blocking food to a large population of civilians is NOT genocidal. It doesn’t require active military action to meet agreed UN criteria:

https://www.un.org/en/genocide-prevention/definition

Article II

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

ah yes “stop making me hit you, just do what I say! this is all your fault!”

Go!

Fuck them. Variety of thought is why I’m here. The tankies suck, but I think of them as a palate cleanser after the right wing crap in mainstream media.

You’re conflating “Lemmy” with the behavior of a single instance. This is actually the strength of a federated platform; don’t like how an instance or community is operating? start your own or move to one more to your way of thinking.

I think 7070s are relatively old, so you should be fine? I’ve never installed Linux onto an optiplex though.

Depends on your hardware. I recently installed Ubuntu 22.04 onto an old Dell laptop with zero issues. If you’re using new hardware you’re more likely to have issues.

Yes Ubuntu can read NTFS. And yes, I’ve found Plex runs happily on low spec Linux machines. Running mine on an Ubuntu VM with 2GB ram allocated quite happily.

Plex install on Linux is very easy from memory.

Cisco bought OpenDNS a few years ago,

damnit now I want mud cake 😢

Happy b-cake day! 🍰

Well that is hilarious. I like the cut of his jib. I love how they’re both eye bulging wtf-ing out.

I read that as “meathead” and was about to ask what it referred to… duh.

I’ve had navidrome setup for a while, but could never find a really good client for my android phone… thanks for the Symfonium link, it looks great. Will definitely give it a go.

1000/50 is available on HFC. I know because I have it.

You’re conflating two distinct issues, that involve three separate groups: traditional media, social media, click farm thieves such as ladbible.

The Australian legislation relates to the first two and their commercial arrangements.

IP is typically leveraged, effectively multiplying returns.

Good. Fucking banks make enough off the Australian public. Their willful ignorance when people are taken for a ride isn’t acceptable.

Minor correction… The Voice doesn’t exist between the two houses of government. It will be an advisory body to parliament, thats it.

I don’t follow. I’m not saying its either/or, I’m saying the voice looks like it will achieve nothing if it has no powers or additional rights. If it has the same access to parliament as existing lobbying bodies, why is it needed?

I understand the need for reconciliation and to improve outcomes for indigenous people, I just don’t see how a body with no power can achieve it.

It seems like the yes camp are trying to have it both ways. To those leaning towards yes: “Yay its going to make a difference!” While at the same time those wary and leaning to no: “It won’t change anything or have any real power”. Which is it? I’m confused.
