Unless you’re saying bibi paid hamas to attack them
Bibi paying Hamas is common knowledge. I assume the attack on October 7th was really convenient, and I would assume they at the very least let it happen. I think there is also evidence to support that theory, but since I’ve only watched from the sidelines, I’m not going to try and build a case.
this should not be painted as Iran being the reasonable guys in contrast
Well, what would be reasonable for Iran to do when it is being encircled, attacked, and for years called out as the next target? I think they’ve shown quite a lot of restraint as it is.
Neither Israel nor prticularly Palestine benefitted from triggering Oct 7th.
Apart from Israel getting the excuse to do what they’ve always wanted to do, of course.
none of that refutes that Iran has been using Gaza, Hezbollah and the Houthis like chess pawns to strengthen their position in the middle east
Are they strengthening their position? Or is this a matter of survival? They’ve been under attack by the US and Israel for the past 2 decades. Framing their actions as some surreptitious plan to conquer the middle east is no different from describing Israel’s actions against Palestine as self defense.
It’s not so much that Iran is the voice of reason, but that they’re left with no other choice than to be the counterweight to what is happening. And if they had not done so covertly, they’d be putting their very existence in danger as well.
I’m sure it’s a classic because people tend to latch on to any opportunity to start waffling after reading just the title. Ironically, you start your comment telling me I didn’t read yours and you end it with admitting that I address exactly that which you go on about. So which is it?
What bothers me most is that your solution is not realistic, you’re just proselytizing out of idealism but who is it really aimed at? Who’s going to self host a password manager? Uncle Jim and aunt Betty? You know what the average person is capable of? Writing down their passwords on a piece of paper, usually 4 separate ones with different versions for every time they’ve lost it. At best, they allow a key manager on their device to save a password when they enter it, and if the stars align and all their devices use the same OS and they authenticate, then maybe there is even some synchronization involved. That’s a lot of ands and maybes, but you suggest to ignore that and instead use a solution where they not only understand all those steps but also set it up for themselves.
The masses are not going to wake up one day with the know how to do these things, it’s not even going to happen gradually. I don’t even want to do it, and I was born with a computer and run servers for a living. What is going to happen is that solutions that are easy enough to use will become safe enough in order to minimize the risks. Anything else is a pipe dream.
Does nobody read the article? 1Password works on any platform but the attack is Mac only because it’s actually getting passwords from a Mac’s keychain through older versions of 1Password.
Your comment is irrelevant to the issue at hand because it’s a local attack and your suggested alternative could therefore be just as vulnerable.
Self hosting is cool for 0.0001% of the population, for anyone else it’s either too difficult or a hassle. It’s also an oversimplification that I have to “trust” the cloud company and imply that a self hosted solution is inherently safe. You run that program on a computer with 100 different apps, each of which is an attack vector and you’re just you, without the backup of a small army of developers hunting down issues and independent parties auditing the whole shebang.
The only thing self hosting has going for it is that the target is incredibly small, but this is not as big a factor as you suggest because of the maturity of some of these services who basically just store a blob of data you encrypted locally and access to their servers or even your data is usually without danger.
This.
Crap I’ll never be able to slide that into a casual conversation.
That’s like blaming Jews during world war 2 for putting up resistance against their fascist rulers. It is such a mischaracterization of the situation that it is damaging to the Palestinian people.
The US reluctantly dragged into war.

I’m not asking you to take my word for it. Do with it as you please.
I’ll provide one just to pique your interest.
Despite the presence in cannabis smoke of known carcinogens, toxic gases, and particulates, cannabis smoking does not seem to increase risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or airway cancers. In fact, there is even a suggestion that at low doses, cannabis smoking may be protective for both conditions.
Or heck, another one.
However, after adjusting for age, gender, race, smoking history, and CCI, the results indicated that cannabis use could significantly lower the risk of getting COVID-19 [adjusted OR (AOR) 0.81, 95% CI 0.71–0.92, P = 0.001].
No level of alcohol consumption is safe when it comes to human health, according to a WHO statement released in January, 2023. The data behind this dire warning come from a 2021 study that estimated the number of incident cancers attributable to alcohol consumption in the EU in 2017—light to moderate drinking (1–2 drinks per day) was responsible for 23 300 new cases of cancer. New Canadian guidelines take a strong stance too, suggesting that any more than two drinks per week puts your health at risk. Does this mean the days of safely enjoying a tipple are officially behind us?

Weed smokers are less likely to get lung cancer than non smokers, they have a bigger lung capacity and it acts like a bronchodilator, making it (the substance, not the smoking part) an effective medicine in patients with asthma. People who’ve used marijuana and develop COPD also have a lower mortality rate, and it is beneficial when it comes to corona as well. But yes, smoke is still bad for you.
What you’re describing is exactly the delusion I was talking about. And it’s very typical these days. People don’t want nuance, they want perfect heroes or complete villains, complete polarization, anything in-between is too complex and we’re too insecure to be associated with someone who’s done something bad. I don’t need a messiah, in fact I think that is exactly the problem that is the foundation of your line of thinking.
I have no problem admiring the good Pavlov or Ford did, and I don’t really care that they did something bad, it’s irrelevant to the discussion, really. And I can say that because I believe that recognizing their achievements says absolutely nothing about me agreeing with what they did wrong. I think that people who have to point out the worst are ultimately scared that if they don’t do that, it would say something about themselves.
Move forward as a society, that’s a good one. Please do tell how you’re going to change your ways now that you know someone famous did something heinous. Fuck all is going to happen, and all of this unearthing of our evil past to better ourselves is just a form of self delusion and shock value, typical for the outrage culture of these days.
The only reaction to this new found wisdom is “and then what”? And if you took two seconds to analyze the situation instead of getting on your high horse to start a new crusade you’d probably come to the same conclusion.
Cancelling? The fuck are we cancelling?
What is being implied here is that because he did something bad, all of a sudden that has to be mentioned every time he’s brought up. It’s completely pointless and just a testimony to how insecure we are as a society. It’s like having to cover up female ankles in case we get “urges”. It’s completely ridiculous.
This is the not how we move forward as a society, in fact it is a form of regression and infantility. An inability to hold two opposing ideas in our heads and instead throwing out the baby with the bath water because everyone constantly needs to reassure the person next to them how virtuous they are.
A progressive society does not need to retroactively change history, it can accept the imperfections of the past in the knowledge that we’ve already changed.
Yes, apparently four times less than some though. The chemicals used to wash them, not to mention the water waste, are really impactful if you start multiplying them among millions of people.
Jfc, to what end? All this retroactive cancelling of dead people is just diddling yourself for feel-good reasons. Get over it and be different instead of waving some flag that says you are different.
You using 4 towels isn’t hurting anyone anymore than me using one towel does.
I can only guess where the idea of wastefulness is such an alien concept that it’s completely overlooked here.
I know a 5 year old who shoved a crayon up his nose.
