Quite a few unexpected results here…
So, basically: people performed atrocities. Are they evil? Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t, the BBC has no idea whether it is evil to perform atrocities. Right.
Are you seriously comparing a group that openly targets civilians, hiding in civilian infrastructure, with a group that retaliates? Good luck coming up with a response that matches your standards when your country is under a rocket barrage. The double standards people develop when sitting in the safety of their home and regurgitating biased news… It’s thanks to people like you that this conflict thrives, because extremists from both sides use the lies you spread to their advantage.
In Israel. Hamas infiltrated Israel, reached towns as far as 10 miles from the border, and started shooting at civilians and taking them hostages. The hostages were transferred back into Gaza. There are no Israeli settlements inside Gaza borders since 2006.
I have a Weber grill. It’s about 8 years old. I realized there are some issues with the model (it’s a Q) shortly after buying it - mainly, the heat is not consistent all around, so you have to know where to put each piece of meat. And the heat output overall is lower than I would like. But it just won’t die. It just works, and works, and works, without any issues whatsoever. I don’t bother covering it up in the winter, and it doesn’t rust. I’m stuck with it’s downsides forever.
Ironically, all the variations you mentioned do not have the gift part, except for the letter ‘n’ :)
They all originate from Johnathan, which in Hebrew means, literally “God gave”, the “Joh” part meaning “God”, and “Nathan” meaning “gave”.
Possible - but I’ve been listening to audiobooks instead of reading for years now. It’s much easier to find the time to listen to an audiobook rather than sitting down to read a book. Don’t see it changing in the near future…
I’ve tried twice to listen to it so far, but no luck. I am planning to try again, though. I got further on the 2nd attempt.
Chrono Trigger.
And that is why in some places in the world, service fee is illegal.
A custom made Google Sheet to track everything - maintenance, repairs, insurance, and fuel ups. I’d like to move to an app that supports all of the above, but getting everything into an importable format was messy (tried it with Fuelio), and I gave up after a while. The fact that I’m also writing down parts purchased prior to installation does not make this easier.
My plan is to try and convert it all into plaintext accounting format (probably Beancont with a tailor-made plugin), but so far I’ve been mostly kicking that ball down the street.
Your screenshot does not really show anything other than the fact that Ally attempts a connection to Facebook (it’s not even clear how it was blocked). You can see the amount of people telling you to unblock NTP, which you stated isn’t blocked - that’s a clear sign that you haven’t presented you data in an easy to review format.
Why not show what exactly is blocked by the firewall, how the rules are configured, and disabling which rule exactly gets the app to work? E.g., if you block Facebook by redirecting to your own HTTP server that responds, the app may decide to bork because of a failed certificate validation - resolve the Facebook domain as NXDOMAIN in your DNS, and see if that helps.
The fact that they use Facebook APIs is infuriating, regardless.

It’s a bit old (hasn’t been updated in 4 years), but works great.
Ah. Sarcasm is difficult to see in text based communication.
Not sure what Linux ISOs are, but it’s pretty rare that something is only available with Dolby Vision and not HDR10. Have you verified that HDR10 gives you trouble? 4K HDR is also usually HDR10, unless specifically marked as DV, in my experience.
Anyway, another option, if you don’t care for HDR, is to transcode/tonemap everything in the background. This way, you don’t have to worry about performance during playback.
Exactly. The issue is with the source of electricity, not with the AC itself. Not to mention that leading by example is nice, but it’s not always the best course of action. An individual avoiding AC is a drop in the water, and not going to save the planet, while suffering immensely. Hell, even if every single individual stopped using AC at home (which isn’t even close to reality), that wouldn’t have a significant effect, compared to what corporations, factories, etc. are doing.
Android TV should handle HDR automatically (and tonemap it if needed).
Green and pink tint sounds like the source is Dolby Vision, not HDR10. So, 2 questions:
Yep - and in that case, what you interact is, is your instance. You have no direct interaction with the Threads server, whatsoever. Your instance pulls that content (which is publicly available!), and shows it to you. If you comment on it, you do so on your instance, and it federates that comment back to the Threads instance (where the data federated is publicly available - it’s the content of your comment, and your handle). There’s nothing malicious going on here.
That’s not to say that something bad can’t happen in the long run. E.g., if people get used to content from Threads, and then Threads suddenly stops supporting ActivityPub (or forks it with negative changes), many people might be lured to start using Threads in order to keep accessing its content. That’s definitely a potential issue. But the technical side of federating with Threads is absolutely benign.
No, you couldn’t. Why are you spreading misinformation? You are posting to your instance, and that’s federated to Threads. Threads isn’t getting any information about you that isn’t publicly available.
I haven’t looked into the details of the actual code, but I would expect the compiler optimizations and JIT to figure it all out and end up with very similar native code. Especially since both languages are mature and had enough time to reach such goals. But it’s quite possible my assumptions are incorrect.
