  • I got xiaomi, opened it up and disconnected the Bluetooth / wifi card. Connect it to a linux device and now it is a shitter version of a dumb tv. It’s crazy how smart tvs really really suck at being dumb. But it does work once you get used to some annoying quirks.

    Tip: connect a cheap air mouse/keyboard to it as a remote





  • I don’t really see what the difference is…

    Even if you take the information that each side is giving on their own actions, it is pretty clear that Iran is not doing anything special.

    And even if you take Israel’s side and say that the Israeli attack was justified as self defense against Iran nuking them, it would still be legitimate that Iran would strike back, and of course they would aim at big cities since plenty of IDF camps are in those big cities…


  • Idk, I think we should have sympathy for people being kill because of war at all times.

    I don’t know who lived in the place that was bombed there, but unless I have reason to believe that that person is somehow responsible for the genocide, why would I hate them?

    Israel is obviously filled with genocidal people, and those who support genocide are not going to get my sympathy, but there are those who are actively fighting it even. So I do feel sympathy for innocent people dying because of genocidal governments and their need to bomb every living thing around them.



  • I don’t know your story or your financial situation.

    It is a sad reality that in the US there are literally millions who probably can’t leave even if it was life or death. But i feel like your comment directs your anger and pain towards those who are in at the very least a similar boat to you. Considering that she is an academic, I doubt she is rich, probably middle class at best. The billionaires stole from you, she is probably a victim of this system just like you.

    She is lucky to be able to leave, but realistically she is probably just putting a much bigger weight on this issue than most and I would guess that she sees this as a life or death situation. I think that in a life or death situation, most people can afford to leave to Canada, this isn’t that crazy nor does it cost a fortune. It is true that not all people can, but I’m pretty sure that by far most can.


  • MTK@lemmy.worldtoWorld News@lemmy.worldWhy Won't the Media Mention Israel's Nukes?

    Pretty simple. Currently not all nations have nukes, out of those who have, a few have enough to completely destroy a rival nation. This means that the nations with the big nuke stocks are the ones calling the shots as to who should have nukes and how much. Iran being mostly against the US is not allowed nukes, Israel being mostly a US ally is allowed nukes.

    This is the unpolitical explanation.
