Aber, aber, aber israelische Politik kritisieren = Antisemitismus! So tönte es doch erst vor ein paar Wochen aus diversen westlichen Regierungen, inkl der deutschen.

woelkchen , 14 hours ago

Nein

Sag das der deutschen Spitzenpolitik, die skandiert hat bedingungslos hinter den Gaza-Einsätzen Israels zu stehen, was auch das Abstellen der Wasserversorgung an die Zivilbevölkerung einbezog.

selbstverständlich hat Israel jetzt ein Recht das Gebiet zu besetzen und die Gefahr zu eleminieren.

Aus palästinensischer Sicht ist ihr Territorium seit 1947 nach Genoziden und Vertreibungen durch “Zionisten” besetzt und haben selber das Recht die Besatzer zu vertreiben. Ist ja auch nicht so, dass die Netanyahu-Regierung durch Aktionen wie das Widerrufen eines Gesetztes zur Begrenzung von Siedlungen in Gaza und Westjordanland nicht bewusst das Feuer geschürt hat. Die Netanyahu-Regierung hat jetzt schon sechsmal mehr palästinensische Kinder umgebracht als es insgesamt Israelische Opfer gibt. Man muss den Jihadisten der Hamas nichts gönnen, um zu sehen, dass der wegen Korruption vor Gericht stehende Netanyahu den Angriff der Hamas als Chance sieht durch zunehmende Eskalation weiter fleißig von dem Prozess abzulenken und irgendwann komplett zu begraben und bei den sog. Siedlern als Held dazustehen, wenn der nun abgetrennte Norden Gazas komplett von Arabern entvölkert und für Siedlungsprojekte freigegeben wird.

Tja, aber kritisiert man die Netanyahu-Regierung, ist man halt direkt Antisemit, auch wenn man eigentlich für ein friedliches Zusammenleben beider Volksgruppen ist und bloß Netanyahu und seine Schergen genau so scheiße wie die Hamas findet.

legitimer Grund für Israel einen Verteidigungskrieg zu führen. Die Palästinenser haben auf diese Gebiete in genauso wenig Rechte wie Deutschland auf Danzig. Die Gebietsverschiebungen waren die Folge eines Angriffskrieg gegen Israel

Da es vor 1948 kein Israel gab, sondern nur Britisch Palästina, konnten sich gar keine Grenzen von Israel verschieben. Die palästinensische Bevölkerung zu ermorden (siehe Massaker von Deir Yasin) und zu vertreiben, weil andere Länder den gerade frisch ausgerufenen Staat angegriffen haben, ist selbstverständlich ein Kriegsverbrechen.

bisher macht die israelische Armee nur das, wozu sie verpflichtet ist: Ihr Land verteidigen.

Das kannst du gerne mit dem UN-Generalsekretär ausdiskurieren: n-tv.de/…/Guterres-Brutalitaet-der-Hamas-rechtfer…

Wer Bomben auf ein so dicht besiedeltes Gebiet wirft, versucht nicht zivile Opfer zu vermeiden. Ist ja auch nicht so, dass die Leute es sich ausgesucht haben auf so einem schmalen Landstrich zu leben. Die werden seit Jahrzehnten dort eingepfercht als Folge einer seit Jahrzehnten gescheiterten “Friedenspolitik”. Das Gesetz gegen Siedlungen in Gaza wurde ja bereits einige Monate vor Konfliktausbruch widerrufen und Nord-Gaza wird jetzt für neue rechtsradikale Siedler gesäubert.

Man könnte ja eine Politik fahren, die religiöse Fundamentalisten auf beiden Seiten abdrängt, aber die Macht von Netanyahu baut auf den Fundamentalisten im eigenen Land und einem klaren Feindbild.

And Swift code talking to iOS APIs is magically working on Android? If the app wasn’t developed as cross platform from the start, it won’t be at a later stage. And if it works using cross platform technologies, not publishing it on Android is just stupid. After all, that’s where 70% of all users are.

while Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 were on the October update

I have S22 and am on Play Services 23.45.23 which apparently was released yesterday. Maybe 9to5google should’ve taken their phones out of the pocket and just had a look instead of relying on some Durch website for easily verifiable info.

woelkchen , 1 day ago

Play Services updates are automatic and don’t require reboots. You’re confusing them with Android updates where Samsung phones only check every few weeks or so.

Are you (and probably 9to5google) confusing the updater for Play Services with updates of the low level Play components? support.google.com/…/11412553?hl=en

“Google System updates make your Android devices more secure and reliable and give you new and useful features. They include updates from Google to the Android operating system, Google Play Store, and Google Play services.” support.google.com/…/11412553?hl=en

That’s just the updater for Play Services. Non-Pixel phones don’t get Android updates through that.

So you’re seriously just making a big fuss about the updater that just needs an update once in a while and not the actual Play components.

woelkchen , 23 hours ago

Actual Play Services or the dumb updater they seem to confuse Play Services with? Play Services you can find under Settings > Apps.

It’s a 15 inch device, with a 1440p display that refreshes at 165 hertz, with an aluminium chassis, a 13th gen Intel i7 CPU, an RTX 4060 GPU

The whole setup makes no sense with Linux in mind and screams of a rebadged Windows notebook. Just go with an AMD-exclusive system, perhaps with an Intel WiFi module.

Gaming laptops in and of themselves don’t make much sense…

Why?

woelkchen , 1 day ago

the premise is that they cant be upgraded so they are stuck at a set spec

Every gaming notebook can be upgraded (RAM, storage) but not to the degree of desktop PCs, true. Although frame.work/products/laptop16-diy-amd-7040 exists now.

Btw, I don’t play graphically intensive games anyway but the games I play I wanna play at native screen resolution of 1440p.

they struggle with heating and dust issues

One needs to clean the fan every once in a while (more often when dumb people place it on the bed). Not so different from desktop PCs.

woelkchen , 1 day ago

Depends on the laptop. For some it’s just unscrewing the bottom. Gaming notebooks aren’t the super slim ones. They tend to be easier to open than their ultrabook cousins.

CUDA isn’t for games.

woelkchen , 1 day ago

Well, then those Linux notebook makers do a crappy job. Radeon is the best supported gaming GPU on Linux as of now. That’s just fact. Any notebook manufacturer would look which vendors Valve uses for Steam Deck and pick whatever is the latest component from that vendor because all the driver improvements made by Valve also benefit the newer, more powerful GPU.

Taking an obvious Windows notebook and just rebadging it isn’t a real Linux notebook anyway. If I were to buy a new notebook, it would be the Framework 16. Sure, there is no option for it to ship with Linux but the DIY edition ships without Windows.

Not doing a great job running basic modern desktop environments with Wayland, though, where workarounds are required everywhere to make shoddy Nvidia drivers work. Very recently (I think is was just last week) I’ve read that the developers need to give Nvidia special treatment just to make the cursor work. That’s just fucked up.

A house build on shortcuts and workarounds is not on a strong foundation. It’ll break down on the user at some point.

I’m happy for you that you think that required workarounds implemented by DE developers don’t affect you.

Debian Sid should be fine. I wouldn’t go with Stable − too old.

Personally, I’d go with the Flathub version of Steam and not pollute my main system with 32bit libraries Steam required for backwards compatibility. With the 32bit dependencies as Flatpak Runtimes, the main system stays clean.

To this day, Valve is using a game engine that is, at its core, the Quake engine from 1996. Goldsrc? Source? Source 2? All increasingly heavily reworked versions of the Quake engine.

All Valve statements about the Source2 port of Counter-Strike say Source2 is a completely new engine.

Maybe you should have told Todd to try making the game good as well as marketable?

But he “Plans to Release a 1st-Party Blockbuster or Highly Anticipated Title Every 3 Months”

There is no place for “when it’s done” with this attitude.

woelkchen , 1 day ago

They need an actual new engine instead of yet another gamebryo rework.

The Starfield engine is already half idTech7 anyway.

woelkchen , 1 day ago

Didn’t know that, what parts?

At least the parts that are mentioned in performance tweaking guides that instruct users to edit config files and the parameters are all named bTemporalAA_idTech7=0 etc.

woelkchen , 1 day ago

The most obvious visual example that comes to mind is the pattern they still use for flickering lights which has been around since the Quake days.

But you wrote “To this day, Valve is using a game engine that is, at its core, the Quake engine from 1996” and that’s just untrue. Just because nobody ever saw the need to change the light flickering pattern for no reason other than to make it new, doesn’t mean that Source2 is “at its core” still Quake1. Even the community-maintained wiki (not a officially sanctioned Valve document, btw) you’ve linked only speaks about “some residual Quake code”.

woelkchen , 1 day ago

Funny that you claim deeper insight into Source2 than Valve.

Source2 was first developed for Dota. It’s way more likely that its limitations are because it was never developed as a complete allrounder, not because some minor bits and pieces like flickering pattern were developed in the 1990s because that’s also where Unreal Engine was first developed.

woelkchen , 18 hours ago

And why wouldn’t I be? The person who claimed that Source2 was basically Quake1 at its core had two bits of “proof”, the Valve wiki that refers to “some residual Quake code” and light flickering pattern. That’s it. Suddenly it’s just “semantics”. Yeah, right. Valve developers referred to CS2 as a completely new engine. That’s not semantics, that’s not splitting hairs, that’s straight of Valve’s mouth.

woelkchen , 18 hours ago

Nobody is denying that but the claim that Source2 is at its core just Quake 1 is just insane.

woelkchen , 14 hours ago (edited 13 hours ago)

Starfield contains much idTech7 code, so by the logic of certain individuals Starfield is basically Quake1 just because there is some heritage…

I got a 2FA code from some service via SMS some time ago and that was the first time the Samsung Messages app asked me to enable RCS. Haven’t used it since then. Most my contacts are luckily on Telegram.
