From the article / post: " The soldier who fired the shots describes entering the home and encountering only one unarmed Palestinian, gesturing and saying, ‘No, no.’ "

He openly admits to shooting an unarmed Palestinian man.

Ohh, I see! Thanks for replying. I often forget about ChatGPT as an alternative

Honest question: what happened to Stack Overflow? I still get answers from it. Have I missed some incident??

I would really recommend the documentary Navalny:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navalny_(film)

I knew almost nothing about the guy prior to watching it, and what happens to him is fascinating. He’s not perfect but I do believe what he says and he really wanted a better Russia. The balls on this guy!!

Which is illegal! If you tip a waiter/waitress then the money must go to them: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/all-tips-to-go-to-staff-under-government-plans-to-enhance-rights-of-2-million-workers

I mean I’m not sure what you can do other than name and shame the restaurant, and/or boycott it

Thanks for sending these over.

I completely agree by the way that we should not condemn an entire population because of their government!

Honest question: can you send over a source or sources for that?

I used to find these kind of stories funny, but these days I just wonder how desperate must someone be to do this.
What’s going on in their life that they’ve ended up doing this and their next stop is prison?

Or Tuta(nota) https://tuta.com are good!

I keep feeling like I’m putting off living a happy, healthy, life until I can retire.

Yeah that resonates with me too

I know it’s not 100% the same, but there’s a website that gives you access to insecure webcams and has been for ages!

http://www.insecam.org/

Obviously these aren’t hacked as per the article

One thing I would add is that the Russian people do want change but any attempt at changing the leadership is met with poisoning and/or long prison sentences. I would highly recommend reading about Alexei Navalny or watching the fascinating documentary

Israelis deserve peace, and Palestinians definitely deserve better

Absolutely with you!

But it is their responsibility as a people to make their situation better.

Ok, hang on…

What do you mean by this? Whose responsibility? Palestinians? They have a responsibility to improve their situation…

Israel is an occupying force. Surely Israeli forces and settlers should leave occupied West Bank to start with. Then there can be a discussion about how Palestinians can improve their situation.

You get a phone call from someone claiming to be from 23andme but they’re not…

Hi it’s Jim from 23andme.
Just going through security with you. You did a test with us on the 5th Dec, your mother is X and your father is Y.
Ok that confirms who I am.
So as I said it’s Jim and in your results we see you have a genetic condition which means you will have early onset dementia.
We offer a preventative treatment. Want to enrol in the trial? It’s $200.

Not the best example I admit but an example of how that data could be misused and you’ve just paid “Jim” $200

The third link is to an Amnesty article from 2015

Do you think he is? I ask purely in terms of discussion.

Is it because of this article? https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/apr/20/richard-dawkins-loses-humanist-of-the-year-trans-comments
