Espionage Rule
  • Not necessarily. There's tons of antisemitism in The American Fascist Party the GOP, but they're 100% on the side of the Israeli government.

    The conservative brain works in mysterious ways. Some support Israel because of some end-times prophecy nonsense, some think that every Jew that moves to Israel is one less Jew in their way. Others just decided they hate Muslims more than Jew.

    In fact, equating Judaism and the Israeli government is arguably a kind of antisemitism itself

    That's a different thing. You can oppose Israel without being an antisemite, but it's trickier to explain how you can be an antisemite without opposing Israel. Hating all Jews while somehow militarily supporting those Jews. While it can be explained (see above) you have to admit it is rather counterintuitive.

    And anyway I would not expect GOP dynamics to easily translate to the AFD.

  • Webmail server with multiple mail accounts
  • I am... Confused about your request. Why can't you also have the same on your phone? Are you still using popmail? Sounds like simply setting your accounts to IMAP should solve your problem.

  • French MPs want to amend EU's copyright rules to cover generative AI
  • But that already happens all the time. Vedy often the rights end up in the hands of some corporation and the author gets to have ~zero say in how it's used.

    Doesn't seem to have been a particularly big issue.

  • Apple exec defends 8GB $1,599 MacBook Pro, claims it's like 16GB on a PC
  • The whole "Apple products are great because they control both software and hardware" always made about as much sense to me as someone claiming "this product is secure because we invented our own secret encryption".

  • This is an apology, I hope whatever healthy thing you do brings you some joy in these dark times.
  • As someone who got a physics degree and knows some shit, the first couple seasons are not too bad. The physics/math jokes are mostly fairly accurate, and those shows happened as nerd culture was getting mainstreamed. The first Avengers movie were several years away. I can't really say whether the series had a part in this mainstreaming, but at the least it was in the Zeitgeist.

    I grew up in the north Italian province. Being a nerd didn't make you an outcast, but definitely an odd one.

    The first couple seasons came out while I was doing my bachelor (i.e. the equivalent of undergrad) and with its caricature of some quirks I could recognize in many of my friends and colleagues, it made me feel at least acknowledged.

    Then it got progressively worse as they kept looking for more and more ways to drag it on, lost those qualities I found positive, and I really gave up not too long after that.

    Edit: I still need to point out that Star Trek TNG is peak comfort TV, together with maybe The West Wing or some Doctor Who.

  • TIL about the many forms of spaghetti
  • Yeah, because Italians totally have no idea how to build a car.

    Edit: a gentle reminder that e.g. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Pagani, Ducati, Dallara and DeTomaso come from exactly the same area as Parmigiano, Bolognese sauce, Parma ham, lasagne, and Bologna sausage.

    Italy does not, indeed, have too much to offer with respect to computers and the internet.

  • What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?
  • You can definitely mount a windows share on a linux machine. I was doing it at my last job, because it allows you to do anything on it transparently as if its part of the local filesystem.

    Here instructions from the Ubuntu wiki, most things should carry over to most other distros.

  • Can you drive a manual transmission?
  • I have not.

    Do they somehow make it fun to be queueing at a busy intersection?

    Is driving 70km/h behind a truck somehow a blast if you're in a Tesla?

    If so I'll make it a priority to try one out ASAP!
