The idea of a zoo in Africa is odd to me. Virtually all zoo animals are from there.

😆

Like for their hides I guess?

Sorry I just never heard of it before.

Crocodile exports? Sorry, what?

Why not? Let’s not pretend that my house is some kind of enterprise level data centre. Why would some FOSS NAS hobby project demand that I only use my home linux server for it? Such a strange requirement. All it needs to do is expose a simple web page to configure samba/nfs/scp/sftp etc. It really seems to have a high opinion of itself.

Yet they defend the people and the system that oppresses them en masse.

Probably just cultural hegemony. American liberals see Israelis as “white” so they’ll back them to the hilt. Christian fascists see them as ushering in the end times. No president wants to be the one that lost that foothold in the ME. Probably a lot of people in power directly benefit from bribery or are at risk of losing a lot via blackmail. Like Bill Clinton was.

OpenMediaVault (OMV) is a Debian server

Maybe it’s because I’m old but these words combined together depress me. Why is NAS software an operating system?

The last time I tried to install this it complained that it couldn’t be installed on an OS that had a GUI. What a joke.

Why have over 800 military bases around the world?

Really? Do you have an example of this?

The article begins with the headline, which is all most people read. The point here is that it omits the perpetrator. If it was Russia it would be front and centre stated. This lying by omission has become a standard trope for western legacy media.

This one hit hard.

I know it shouldn’t, far worse has and is going on. It’s strange the way in the midst of a genocide, some of the individual stories stick out.

Julius Ceasar wasn’t so bad. Parenti’s book The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People’s History of Ancient Rome is an interesting read, looking at his assassination as a reaction from the ruling class who felt threatened by his reformist policies that benefited the lower classes.

In general though we do seem to value the lives and experiences of people in even recent history as lesser. I don’t know why, it’s a good question.

Such as?

Genocide 2024!

The USA is a semi-autonomous Israeli military base and state.

warning Iran and its allies against any “further escalation” of the conflict.

They didn’t mention “Israel” once the scumbags.

simply release the receipts

To whom? The only people who need to see them are serial liars.

The world’s democracies have almost unanimously condemned the results of Venezuela’s presidential election

Bullshit.

I have an x1 Gen7 and it’s great. EXCEPT for the battery life which is fucking awful. Maybe 4 hours if you’re lucky. It was originally advertised as having 18 hours.
