I thought the email body is e2e encrypted nowadays by default(?). And I mean regardless of who your provider is.

Starting to use "soulseek" do I need VPN

So I use a VPN when torrenting as per usual but with Soulseek I wish to share my music with others and that requires me to open a port. I have no problem doing so I just do not pay for a VPN that can do this at the current price I am paying. Is it possible/what are the chances of me getting in trouble ISP wise from using...

sqgl, (edited )

Yeah idk why you spread

You do know why. I said.

sqgl,

Thanks. It isn’t an option in the official SoulSeek client so I never knew.

Greenland startup begins shipping glacier ice to cocktail bars in the UAE (www.theguardian.com)

Arctic Ice harvests ice from the fjords of Greenland, and then ships them to the United Arab Emirates to sell to exclusive bars. Using glacial ice in drinks is a common practice in Greenland, and, over the years, several entrepreneurs have unsuccessfully attempted to export it....

sqgl,

I was thinking of maximising profit but maybe Greenland could get a good deal on the packed down snow at the end of the Dubai ski “season”.

(1) WW3 will definitely not start there

(2) “they don’t look like us”

Ahmed knows and maybe even told the reporter but it is so unjust that media dare not acknowledge the elephant in the room.

sqgl,

Hopefully there is a backroom deal for him to relocate resources to the Finnish border and heroically stop the “planned” NATO invasion of Russia.

That way he gets to fail in Ukraine while saving face.

Am aware of Bibi supporting Hamas. It was a cynical ploy by him.

Bibi required five (re)elections to resume power. There were huge protests for ten days when he wanted to control the judiciary.

Palestinians are not Hamas

Istaelis are not Likud

Do you not think Israel could have killed pretty much everyone in Gaza if they were interested in ethnic cleansing?

Meanwhile Hamas really did do their best to ethically cleanse, and have said they would do it again given a chance.

The reality is still pretty bad: at least 10,000 civilians killed and it seems Bibi wants to push all Gazans out of Gaza altogether in their mission to root out Hamas.

sqgl,

Ah, so only beehaw prohibits downvotes, not other Lemmy instances. TIL.

I guess even what I showed you may have gone negative if downvotes were allowed. The person I was arguing with wasn’t being nasty about it, just incredibly obstinate.

I worry about a return to Nazi style anti-semitism (though I hate Likud) which the polarized discussions are leading us towards. It is arrogant to think it could never happen again.

This shit goes back further than people here care to investigate…

"The Antichrist will pass by this salty barren area i.e. Madinah, in a passage of a canal. Most of those who will come out to him will be women so that a man will return to his intimate wife, mother, daughter, sister or aunt to tie them up for fear that they might go out to him. Then, Allah will afflict him with Muslims who kill him and his followers and the Jews will hide behind a tree or a rock and the rock or the tree will say to the Muslim: There is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!”

This Hadith was reported by Ahmad in his Musnad. About 1200 years ago.

sqgl,

You have a point there.

sqgl,

I don’t understand how to install it. Looked in Google Play store but didn’t find it there.

Israel could have gone along with this and still attacked Hamas but I suppose they knew there would be Palestinian civilians killed so they wanted the excuse of “But muh hostages!”.

I predict the swap will be done now that Israel needs no more excuse. Hamas leaders will be able to (or allowed to) flee, just like Arafat fled the Beirut siege, calling it a victory.

sqgl,

I doubt it. He is fighting for political survival. He is probably a goner regardless but even he realises that to do what you suggest would be political suicide. He only cares about himself.

Are you by any chance in denial of the PIJ missile which misfired into the hospital carpark a couple of weeks back? The one which Hamas lied was a direct hit by Israeli bombs killing 500?

sqgl,

What deal were Hamas offering at the start?

Thanks. Maybe someone can freshly watch the doco and fill us in.

I think you mean 12ft. It was shut down by the ISP about a week ago.

Is this the same guy resurrecting 12ft? Who owned the domain?

sqgl,

Should, would, could. AI is trained on what it scrapes off the internet. It is only feeding the Augmented Idiocy which is already a problem.

sqgl,

Really? I know they used to be an RSS feed where you could search for the mp3 name. I find it is a lot harder nowadays because the actual name is hidden via css.

They all want user stats which is what they get when we use an app to access the feed.

sqgl,

Maybe by reading multiple translations you can at least narrow down to which the problematic passages are so then you could concentrate on them with a fluent Hebrew speaker.

I know one but it is hard to get him to stop once he gets started and he is right wing (I am left) so I don’t want to listen to his preaching. Nevertheless if you give me a specific question I will ask.

sqgl,

Speaking of dodgy politicians: this ex lawyer-soldier pointed out how Australian military commanders were behaving illegally in Afghanistan and only acting to please politicians who in turn were only concerned with their own popularity (measured by polling).

Nothing he said was untrue, but instead of investigating the war crimes the government is trying to throw him into jail for the rest of his life because, according to them, his whistleblowing compromised national security.

You will recognize the power games from Spain and every other country. This guy is a hero for challenging the system.

Thanks. Your summary is great copypasta I will be using in future.

I learned all about that from my Jewish friend (who is afraid to let people know. I used to think it was paranoid but after the rise of the cookers and Nazis, I now appreciate his caution).

The only AI I fear is Augmented Idiocy. Covid will subside but the declining language and science literacy and numeracy is just getting worse. Flat earthers are on the increase FFS.

You are the one treating this like football teams with your whataboutism re the Israeli newspaper.

Nevertheless I responded by saying I doubt Israeli newspapers are better but you ignore that part.

And you characterised the g20 report slip-up as commendable because in your mind they deliberately planted the truth as an Easter Egg for internet sleuths.

I doubt I am in a discussion with someone who is impartial here. Blocked. No need to aggravate each other further.
