Back to Kagi 10 hours ago

Kagi is great, and I'd pay some amount of money for it, but $10/mth is simply too much for me personally to pay for a search engine. I understand why others do and enjoyed my Kagi experience, however. If only the $5 plan had more than 300 searches.

Who is "we"? I find GNOME great.

On the other hand, I'm not a fan of people disparaging free open source software that they've never contributed anything to, either money or code.

It's absolutely not worth noting that because it simply isn't true.

If anything, the MoH numbers are lower than the actual death toll. Even the IDF said internally the numbers were right and their own statistics state that 83% of casualties in Gaza have been civilians.

I always find it fascinating that pretty much every time pro-Israel posters like yourself bring up Sudan, they only use it as a cudgel to deflect from the IDF's actions in Gaza, not out of any legitimate or sincere concern for the people of Sudan.

The October 7 massacre passed with barely any notice in much of the Western world.

Verifiably false.

Yet the moment Israel responded to recover the hostages—if not earlier—there were already demonstrations everywhere against so-called Israeli “atrocities.”

Because we've seen time and time again the brutal methods the IDF uses to retaliate against the entire population of Gaza, employing collective punishment against innocents. And the protesters were sadly proven very right yet again.

Even with regard to the war in Gaza, Hamas’ use of human shields[1] has resulted in significant civilian casualties [...] Instead, the criticism overwhelmingly targets Israel for civilian deaths caused by Hamas’ human-shield strategy.

Surely even you realize that bombing a building when you know there are human shields held within is a bad thing, right? If you know there are innocent people in the blast radius of your bomb and you still fire the bomb, you are the villain in this story. The IDF has killed more civilians than Hamas has and it's not even remotely close, a difference of tens of thousands at minimum.

AMD has also often said that they can't compete with Nvidia at the high end, and as the other commenter said: market segments exist. Not everyone needs a 5090. If anything, people are starved for options in the budget/mid-range market, which is where Intel could pick up a solid chunk of market share.

How so? It's common knowledge that the nascent IDF absorbed terrorist organizations like the Irgun and Lehi into their ranks and gave them autonomy to operate as they had been. Leaders of these terrorist organizations went on to join the highest ranks of Israeli leadership. David Ben-Gurion being one of many (his Haganah cooperated closely with the Irgun and Lehi as they committed kidnappings, bombings and murders).

This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's widely documented by respectable historians.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't think he's saying to dismiss the Ministry's numbers, but more that the death toll is actually even higher than the Ministry's numbers, in opposition to Israeli claims that the Ministry is making up deaths.

This idea that conflicts need to be resolved quickly and in the favor of a golden boy is a millennial/zoomer issue.

This is a strawman with no support behind it in the actual blog post. Marcan's issue wasn't that he wasn't "getting his way", his issue (from his viewpoint) was with Linus and co. claiming to support Rust on Linux while doing nothing to aid in adoption and in the case of some maintainers, actively sabotaging its implementation.

If you're going to do something, then do something. Don't say you're going to do something, then do nothing while your underlings actually do the opposite.
