This is why nobody use conscripts, imagine an army that is all cops.

Ok do you understand what an analogue is?

Perhaps Lemmy needs a "translate to simple English feature for you"

It's an apt comparison, there aren't many examples so on the nose about deliberately destabilizing secular groups and Islamist groups filling the power vacuum, only to become a more violent threat.

If you want you could compare it to the allied powers starving the Spanish Republic of resources, enabling the rise of the Nazis, but it's a bit of a stretch.

Also Hamas was empowered by the Israeli state by the distruction of secular opposition.

Not disimilar to how the US armed the Taliban & created a power vacuum for them to fill

You ever wonder what it would be like if you had self-esteem & were proud of your values instead of complaining about others having virtues?

If Israel don't like Hamas they shouldn't have created them

flatpaks are all updated at once, just like distro packages, so yeah you might need to commands, but that's still very different to having each application update itself (and the security hell implied by that)

Also I think pkcon can manage your updates across various backends (unless you are on Arch, where I think there are both technical & ideological objections to having a simple tool that just works)

Good thing I've watched that video, twice then!

It could even tell me what 1312 means, after I told it it was a number substitution cypher

But the only thing it's actually good at is generating languages, if they try and pretend to know stuff in fields, they're quickly exposed as frauds.

Nah GPT makes it a lot easier, it's the thing it's actually good at.

Before they were autogenerated with bad English, GPT can generate good English that is equally devoid of content
