Hate to spoil the fun but as of this year Ma is still heading Alibaba and is worth over $30bn USD.

Not only did I not make excuses for them but I agreed with you in that it’s a bad deal. I’m not sure you need to remind anyone that Israel is killing Palestinian people in a thread about Israel killing Palestinian people.

I was just saying that the current administration is behaving differently than the previous ones, albeit not by much.

Hi there. I did some reading on the deal and I’m not very happy they’re rolling out this package, I was hoping they would be more firm. However it looks like, should this deal go through, the equipment won’t be delivered for at least 2-3 years according to the AP. In that regard I do feel hopeful that Israel won’t be able to use these items against the people of Gaza, provided they can come to some sort of ceasefire.

If we’re still examining this in the context of the election, I don’t believe this is enough cause for me to vote for Trump or another party. The Republicans want to nuke Gaza, so my perspective is that we have to do what we can to ensure the least harm possible comes to civilians, which means preventing them from leading our government. I don’t see another candidate who will be both able to defeat Trump and to single-handedly shift the US foreign policy apparatus, but I am all ears if that person does exist and I’ve just missed them somehow.

I wasn’t confusing any merger, I was wondering what action specifically you were referring to is all. There were a few different points the FTC was concerned with in that case.

Are you referring to the ABK layoffs? Or something else here?

I try my best, haha. Hope the app works out for you!

Hey there! Databases aren’t something I’ve done yet in Obsidian, although I’m at my computer right now so I took a quick peek and I think maybe https://dataloom.xyz/ is what you’re looking for. Seems to be angled specifically at Notion users.

As someone who loves both apps, you might be surprised with the functionality in Obsidian’s plugin platform. I have to-dos, kanban boards, book reviews, media embeds. You can even use JavaScript to code with your files and their properties (not that everyone needs to do that of course).

I use Notion at work still, but Obsidian has come really far since I first heard of it. I will say though migrating has not been an easy process.

Damn they really came for you. Eminem himself has said multiple times that Kendrick is one of the best ever

I don’t think you’re salty, HFR has millions of units sold and is pretty highly rated. It’s insane they would simply close the entire studio, it definitely reeks of “make number go up.” Especially since they seemingly didn’t give any real reason.

These changes are grounded in prioritizing high-impact titles and further investing in Bethesda’s portfolio of blockbuster games

By shit-canning the whole teams behind these properties?? Yeah okay…

That is very clearly not all he has to say, he has just now interrupted a 50-year supply of military arms to an ally, for the first time ever as far as I am aware. They’re building a literal seaport for aid delivery. The president often can’t unilaterally make decisions, much of the funding especially for Israel is packaged into bills made by Congress, that are usually a small part of a larger budget.

The protests are working, as intended. The government is changing their tune, as intended. Maybe I am awake, maybe you’re the one who’s asleep. Maybe not. In my eyes though this is how democracy has always worked. You argue until the other side is convinced, which we are in the middle of doing and succeeding at.

You equated Biden and Trump. We have their two presidencies to refer to now, we don’t have to guess, and they look and sound a lot different on Israel to me. We’ll see what Biden does if they invade Rafah.

The other commenter didn’t say that, but also, shouldn’t we be pleased that a politician, the literal President of the United States, is buckling to public pressure here? Isn’t that the whole point of democracy is that they are supposed to represent the will of the people? That he is doing this in spite of his own personal interest is pretty amazing and stark compared to Trump.

I think we should take wins like this seriously, the system is working as it should for a brief moment here. Progress takes time, let’s celebrate how quickly an 81 year old man is changing course on something lol

No, I don’t think so, you just need to make a joke?

You know you can use the word ‘gamer’ on the Internet? Why would you come into this thread and wish other people to be unhappy about a hobby they like?

I was a little curious about this as well, how can you know whether or not this is dissuading the content scrapers? I’m familiar with like robot.txt but I’d imagine AI models don’t respect that type of thing the same way.

We can compare anecdotes if you want, I’ve been in tech twice as long as you were and I can count on one hand the number of people doing their own IMAP setup. That remains the same if you go back to me being a child.

There’s no need to be a dick man, this is a nerd forum for awarding fake internet points. Chill out.

Why would a random 83 year old set up his own email port configs? He signs into gmail.com like everyone else, let’s be realistic if we’re gonna talk shit

Yeah you’re correct I misspoke there. I’m not an expert but others are suggesting her invention wasn’t used in GPS at all, which the guy’s dad is credited with inventing. If that’s true that’s still a little weird, of course I don’t have a problem with her getting credit for anything she invented. I certainly haven’t invented anything

I think it’s pretty reasonable to be proud of your family for their accomplishments. And annoyed that someone else would take credit for them.
