Apparently I've been listening to the new Gunship album too much, said I was in the top 1% of Gunship listeners.

I think the feature is cool and I'm looking forward to it personally.

Maybe they should have made it opt in, but social features like this on other platforms like discord and stream aren't, so .. eh.

It's just so hard to see where we transition from here.

We went from a resource economy to a manufacturing economy to a service economy... And now many services are being automated. So what's next?

I'm in favor of the automation but recognize it's going to cause pain in the near future.

I've seen people tout a 'creative based economy', but to be honest LLMs and GANs seen poised to grab that sector before anyone in service can transition to it.

You'd hope all of this would mean an easier life, but so long as capitalism is the name of the game there is zero incentive to spread the benefits among all.

How are they not?

This comment is the equivalent of some guy telling you that you'll be paid in exposure and that the exposure is going to be worth way more than money in the long run, just trust me bro.

'the allies did worse than the Holocaust' is certainly a hot take.

Nah, it was fine.

Same thing applies to humanitarian aid.

If Hamas has hijacked or is operating in those places then they become military targets.

As far as white phosphorus, it depends on how it's deployed. If it's deployed for masking, tracing or identifying then it's legal.

If it's being directly used as an incendiary then that's illegal.

As far as international law goes no this is not a war crime.

If your military takes refuge or uses a civilian center for military operation then that location becomes a valid military target regardless of the risk to civilian lives.

Basically Hamas is commiting the crime by purposefully setting up in these areas. Once they do that then civilian death is acceptable collateral damage, legally speaking.

I'm feeling pretty fatigued.

Can't, really. Have several critical Windows only apps.

It's a chicken and egg situation.

It's frustrating because I don't know it, and I don't learn it because it's frustrating.
