Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising ( www.techradar.com )

Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the...

Stallman warned us, we didn't listen.

I'm glad to see BadVista still up https://badvista.fsf.org/blog/view/?set_language=en

PanArab ,

At what point does this all just become sinophobia?

PanArab ,

It is not illegal is it?

If it is legal, then thank you China for the free backup.

PanArab ,

Not as bad as you make it out to be, and I actually worked in the US with more Chinese engineers than US engineers.

Summer started earlier than usual this year. The Saudi government needs to install more shades and outdoor cooling, as well as perhaps reduce the number of pilgrims allowed. 1.83 million at once, not counting those without permits, is a lot at once to take care of.

PanArab ,

At least the Fediverse exists.

PanArab ,

Lots of countries had female heads of state. Here are some Muslim* ones.

*Mauritius and Singapore aren't Muslim countries but have a significant Muslim minority.

PanArab ,

More countries should do the same.

PanArab ,

In the UAE they steal from hotels

Maybe shouldn't try to create a country on someone else's land? Refugees are supposed to assimilate into the culture, not create a separate ethnostate and expel the natives.

Remember when Google used to give good search results?

Not only is the inquisition over, but Spain is welcoming Sephardic Jews and offers them citizenship. This is how one Palestinian refugee from Yaffa got Spanish citizenship.

A 26-year-old lecturer in architecture at Birmingham City University, Iskandarani has been stateless for most of her life, possessing only a Lebanese travel document that defines her as a Palestinian refugee.

But after discovering that her Palestinian father had Jewish roots going back to Spain, Iskandarani was able to claim Spanish citizenship thanks to a 2015 law that promised to naturalize anyone whose Jewish ancestors fled the Spanish Inquisition.

“Absurdly our conversion to Islam got us exiled from Jaffa yet again for again being of different religion and ethnicity,” she wrote. “Quite ironic don’t you think being exiled twice for the exact same reason?”

Higher temperatures have been recorded last year but I think the heat is starting earlier this year?

‘Exterminate the beasts’: How Israeli settlers took revenge for a murder in the West Bank ( www.bbc.com )

What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.

That's aid to pay the salaries and provide aid to people in Gaza. About ~$1000 per person per year, not much at all.

This is rich. I personally, fully support the Namibian freedom fighters.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/28/world/europe/germany-namibia-genocide.html

German soldiers targeted people of two ethnic groups — the Herero and the Nama — because they had resisted land grabs by German settlers. Africans were shot, hanged, abandoned in the desert and died in concentration camps

Killing the indigenous people for resisting, is the shared western civilization value Isaac Herzog meant.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information ( futurism.com )

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

PanArab ,

I have a solution! Employ a human to verify the work of AI, perhaps you need more than one with all the junk AI might produce. Maybe you will even need an entire department to do that, and maybe you should just not use AI.

Wise man. I don’t care about Dolby but I do care about loading

Zelensky: 'Our partners fear that Russia will lose this war' ( kyivindependent.com )

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine's partners "are afraid of Russia losing the war" and would like Kyiv "to win in such a way that Russia does not lose," Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent....

PanArab ,

No, they fear that Ukraine will lose no matter how much aid is provided.

Foreign volunteers are restricted from entering Gaza. If we are allowed to bring supplies, it may not be a bad idea. I wouldn't mind getting send there, I have no other way of sneaking in.

PanArab ,

As someone who is sympathetic to the legal and moral Palestinian resistance by Hamas and other factions, I wouldn't mind going there and helping out.

PanArab ,

More for me!

PanArab ,

Extreme weather will make a lot of places rethink their infrastructure and whether they should even move somewhere else.

PanArab ,

You got them mixed with Israel. From malicious spyware and surveillance to running over civilians with tanks.

PanArab ,

You need to watch some testimonies by repenting Israeli occupation forces. It is pretty much cultural at this point

As someone who uses both daily I prefer the shell of Windows 11.
