  • I’m honestly curious. Have you ever heard of a single Palestinian accusing Hamas of using someone they know as a human shield? Has anyone ever, really?

    The only “sources” backing these “well-known facts” are western media and Israeli-say-so. I’ve dealt with many Palestinians personally (I live in Egypt and we have a lot of them living here), and none of them ever complained about their families being used as human shields. Ever. You’d think some Palestinians would speak up about this by now if it were real.

    You know who they unanimously consider unnecessarily brutal and cruel though? The IDF which treats them like less than dirt on a good day.









  • A PWA running in a browser engine that they can’t control can have access to features that they can’t vet and restrict. If PWAs aren’t restricted to 50MB of storage and have near feature-parity with native apps then they’ll eventually lose the ability to enforce their revenue cut on In-App Purchases.

    Not sure how it works on android, but on iOS I’m pretty sure this means that mobile game devs will start shipping games as WebGL/WASM with asset streaming and implement their own payment channels for micro-transactions.

    Apple can’t risk it and I believe they will fight it tooth and nail to the bitter end.









  • Do you think Native Americans would agree to define him as an explorer too, then?

    But this is accurate. Columbus was an explorer, that was his mission. I’ve read his letters to Spain and he wanted to find bounty for the Spanish crown to convince them to give him more money.

    And Adolf Hitler was a politician. That was his “mission”. We don’t define Hitler by his career though.

    He murdered, tortured, enslaved kidnapped, interrogated, and raped people to find even more bounty.

    I guess he went above and beyond on that mission, yeah? By your definition he seems more like a bounty-hunter/privateer and not an explorer, but worse in every way. (And how is rape supposed to tie into this narrative about his goal of securing more funding anyway?)

    But he was an explorer, not a conquistador or conqueror. Those were military positions.

    So by your logic, not having a military position pardons any atrocities he committed and waives the reason to call him anything other than “explorer”? He was a butcher and a rapist. That’s a fact.

    You don’t need a rank and a hat to become a sanctioned piece of shit. That can happen sans the hat.

    This post is ignorant.

    Is this your opinion, or an “accurate” fact too?
