We Taught This Chimpanzee to Understand the American Political System and He Hanged Himself

I totally understand where you're coming from. It's absolutely not uncommon to casually refer to high-rank NCOs as Officers (in Canada at least)

Don't believe or don't care. Workers are less likely to collectivize if they spend 80% of their time under the supervision of someone who's paid to stop any discussion of that kind.

I absolute agree with you that that is how employers are viewing it and I agree with your disagreement with people in the industry that suggest the solution is ten hour days for blue collar workers.

(One of) The problem(s) behind this is that the capital class seemingly does not care what the evidence shows, and are only interested in what feels more productive. To them, it feels more productive to have fewer workers, for longer hours, with less safety measures, and because they feel it's more efficient, that means it must be (because it costs more "less"). Until we change that, or sufficiently collectivize to force them to change, it's gonna be hard to move the needle.

I mean, a four day work week still benefits blue collar jobs, though it's understandably more difficult to implement this in a some blue collar workspaces, and I dont claim to have the answer for how to do it by any means.

Factories would benefit from seven day work weeks, more time producing not less.

Factories benefit from higher efficiency, and less downtime, which can be achieved with more employees, working less, being less tired, more satisfied with their pay and benefits, and having fewer accidents which interrupt production.

It can be done, but other systems also need changing to help it along.

Well... "They're all" is kinda rhetorical shorthand, but the vast, vast majority of Israeli citizens are colonizers definitionally, just like how "all" north Americans are colonizers (obviously except indigenous people). The difference is that the USA/Canadian settler colonial projects have already """succeeded""".

I understand why you and many other people are extremely reluctant to vote/against voting in this election. But I feel your analogy is incorrect.

By not voting for the douche bloodthirsty democrat you are supporting the turd sandwich fascist and (more) bloodthirsty republican, in the same way that not pulling the lever is supporting the death of more people on the train tracks.

Not buying diesel/gas car =/= inherent passive support for electric in any way, but in a two party system, in an election like this one, not voting, or not voting democrat directly increases pedestrian train deaths the odds of america falling to a fascist party with a plan. You can vote * and still protest, petition, and riot against the policies you dont like.

Unfortunately, as far as im aware, we generally are skimping. In the videos I linked above, it's explained (with sources!) that most of the "issues" which the Fire Chiefs Association raises are issues in dual stairwell buildings as well. This is because of a number of factors, but includes items such as:

• In the case that a fire breaches the containment of an apartment unit and spreads to the rest of the building, one stairwell is often allowed to burn relatively uncontrolled so that firefighters can focus on evacuating residents instead

• The long hallways of dual stairwell buildings mean that it's more likely for residents to get cut off from a safe stairwell, or need to travel a longer distance to a safe stairwell, vs single stairwell buildings where the stairs are right there

• As dual stairwell buildings often end up with only 1 usable stairwell in the case of a fire, it's a little silly to say that dual stairwell buildings allow residents coming down to not obstruct firefighters going up (especially when you consider that even with 2 stairwells, you can't control which one people will use, even if both are functional)

• Finally, for what it's worth, my understanding is that positive pressure halls/staircases do aide greatly, even in the case that a fire is directly in the hall as they keep smoke from settling.

Edit: forgot two:

• they're in quite a few buildings now, but implementing widespread sprinkler systems in apartments is shown to contain fires to a room 96.2% of the time. (There's a few different figures for this, but it generally seems to be between 88-97% effective)

• IMPLEMENTING WIDESPREAD AND MANDAROTY TESTING OF SAFETY MEASURES. The majority of major & lethal fires are caused by faulty, untested, or otherwise nonexistent fire safety equipment. Requiring proper testing of sprinkler systems, fire alarms, ventilation, validation of building integrity, and other measures could greatly reduce fire danger in north american apartments, regardless of how many staircases they have.

It's understandable and extremely good to be distrustful of the motives of politicians. Genuinely, I applaud you for not trusting them blindly.

But in this case especially, Revi Kahlon and the other NDP members who worked on this have provided overwhelming evidence (facts) for the safety of single stairwell designs. Their evidence is coming from Europe and asia who have used these for a long time and still have better fire safety than we do in north america, they also have evidence from Seattle, which implemented similar changes and has found no measurable increase in fatalities or injuries from fires.

Unfortunately, in my opinion, the Fire Chiefs Association has provided limited supportive data to counter the mountain of evidence that exists for switching to single stairwell, and that's before even considering additional safety measures like pressurized/ventilated hallways, external fire exits, fire barriers, and high flow per-apartment sprinkler systems.

I understand it's concerning to hear when a fire chief is saying that this change could be dangerous, but the gentleman in the linked video provides far more stats regarding the fire safety of single stairwell dwellings than Mr Cairney has.

In fact, so many people have had this concern, that he made a followup with even more evidence for how safe a properly built single stairwell apartment building is, contrary to what the Fire Chiefs Association would suggest https://youtu.be/ozwkP9Zsi0Y

Single stairwell buildings are shown to be just as fire-safe as dual stairwell buildings when built properly. It also provides the benefit of more, larger units that are faster and less expensive to build.

Here's a fantastic video that was reportedly part of the influence for housing minister Revi Kahlon's announcement: https://youtu.be/iRdwXQb7CfM

That's nice that you have an opinion.

Unfortunately I dont care if you disagree, as there is plenty of scientific literature which supports the stance of modern school boards.

Try getting out of your 'touchy feels' about reality and read a book sometime.

Edit: for the reference of anyone in the future, despite the tone of my message, the intent was not to put down their opinion, but rather to provide non-anecdotal evidence for my own

I agree with the first part, but unfortunately being failed in school is probably part of why we're here. It leads to lower student happiness and worse ongoing grades (source: partner is a pre-service teacher)

In the case of a usurper government that was massacring citizens within 8 days of taking power, under the veil of "removing human obstacles" and eliminating "hostile groups"... I would argue that support and willful ignorance are one in the same. Unwillingness to refuse supply of arms or materials to the government that is undertaking these actions does nothing but strengthen their campaign of violence.

Do you mind answering why you feel this way about homeless people? You or I could be among them tomorrow for all we know, I would hope that someone wouldn't feel that animosity towards me.

To build a fire is so good! Would highly recommend it to anyone that is familiar with 'The Cremation of Sam McGee'

I'll admit, if it wasnt for this, and the other comments, I'd have been Poe's Law'd

I mean, the broader thread has been talking about the philosophy and such included in the Jefferson bible. Seems pretty reasonable to put a note on a link to the thing just for the edification of anyone that checks it out.

Its more akin to being adjacent to a conversation about the history of the autobahn, and being the one to say "so for anyone who's not aware, the autobahn was largely built by the Nazis"

It wasn't an attack on you, just context for those who weren't aware.

What a terribly bad faith interpretation of their comment. Theyre making the point that while it's neat that Jefferson de-religioned the bible, and left the philosophy, Jefferson himself wasn't exactly an ethical paragon and that should be remembered. It wasn't an attack against you.

A. Care to provide any evidence for your "gender is a mental disorder" point? Even a little?

B. No one actually cuts a penis off, just FYI

C. Its not uncommom for Cis teenage girls get breast reduction surgery, or even implants. Do you have issue with this? Or do you only have an issue when it's trans men getting a mastectomy?

D. Why you gotta be weird dude? I guarantee you've interacted with at least a handful of trans people in your life and were genuinely clueless about it. (I'm pre-empting the "we can always tell")

Edit: didnt notice he's banned. Leaving it anyway.

I did it with Debian 12 bookworm. I'm working on getting the web interface accessible externally, as it's bound to local host only by default.

Theres 2 steps where you need to watch for noob traps if you plan on using Debian, one in particular being where the link to Rustup is contained within the command block, you need to navigate there in your web browser to grab the rustup install script before you run the commands. If you hit a wall, feel free to message me and I may be able to help!

Just about to get the web interface running!

The build from source is actually incredibly straightforward! There's a few noob issues if you don't fully read the command blocks included in the instructions (They have some links you need to navigate to to install dependencies) but beyond that, for how large everything is, I'm very surprised how easy they make it! If it was difficult last time you tried, I'd give it another shot!

I genuinely didnt even realize I downvoted in all honesty. Genuine mistake that I'll remove once I hit post.

Your source was outdated and asking for, but otherwise accurate. I was asking for what caused them to form, but your source is their (for lack of better words) manifesto. Why they do, but not why why they are.

I'll address your source in a moment, but I was more aiming for what socio-political conditions might cause a group like Hamas to decide they need to take the action they have taken.

Hamas exists due to the (as of today) 3/4 of a century of oppression that the Palestinians have been subjected to as a result of the creation of Israel after WW2. When the was ended, it was decided that the European Jewish population needed a safe region, so the British and Zionists (reminder that Zionists are often christians and that the creation of Israel was a "biblical prophecy") pushed the Palestinians out of their homes to create Israel, the land for which was forcibly partitioned and claimed as a result of a funded war. Many Palestinians still have the keys for the homes they were forced out of.

This isnt even detailing the 1967 repartitioning, or the long standing and repeated mistreatment of people within the open air prison that is the Gaza strip and the Palestinian permitted areas of the west bank, or many, many other things.

Hamas is the result of decades of oppression and dismissal of the Palestinian people.

Now, regarding your link, yes, this is the 1988 hamas covenant(it was softened a little in 2017) and I dont really care about it in regards to whether or not Israel should be carrying out its actions. I posed this hypothetical to another user but I'll shorten it to restate it here:

Hamas has done terrible, terrible things. During WW2, the Nazi's claimed that the Jewish people had done, or were planning things of a similar nature, in order to justify the "necessity of the holocaust"(not a quote, just wanted to make clear that it wasnt my sentiment). If there were groups of Jewish people who had done things like Hamas has done, would that justify the holocaust? If you answer correctly (correct answer is "no it wouldn't") then why do the actions of Hamas seemingly justify the indiscriminate and unceasing killing of Palestinian civilians?

So, what @Mrkawfee@lemmy.world said is correct.

The existence of Hamas, and their inexcusable actions, are a direct consequence of Israel's militaristic apartheid and colonial oppression of the Palestinian people.

Hypothetical: If there was record from mid-WW2 of Jewish resistance fighters committing actions against the German population that are of the same nature as what Hamas does to Israel today, would that have made the oppression and violent action of the Nazis valid? Or would that be a distasteful, yet potentially necessary reaction to the conditions that they were subjected to?

I'd like to jump in and ask a genuine counter question:

• What do you believe is the cause of Hamas' existence?

Nuanced opinions aren't allowed on the internet.

If Greenbone doesn't work out I might try this next, it looks interesting.

I originally crossed this one out because of the docker requirement, but because of your comment i looked again. It looks like it can be built from source instead! I'm deploying it after work tomorrow

No matter how much you lay out that policies passed by the NDP are more effective at resolving the issues that they're flocking to PP for... They always circle back around to "but they havent stopped trudeau" or "they never do anything" or even (the funniest one) "they're corrupt"

I'm hopeful for the states now that kamala is the likely nominee... But I think we're doomed up here

Yes and at the end of the day it's all just binary getting dumped into a cache and processed by the CPU. The point is that the intent of the file matters and while they do both hold text, the intent, purpose, and handling of the kernel mode/ring 0 driver is much different than a "simple text file"

So different in fact, that as another user pointed out, it has happened to Linux too

Calling a kernel mode driver a "simple text file" sure is interesting

Not to jump at you in another comment thread, but any OS that is deployed in a business environment should have some form of endpoint protection installed unless it is fully airgapped + isolated.

Despite the myth that "Linux doesn't get malware", it absolutely does and should have protection installed. Even if the OS itself was immune to infection, any possible update can introduce a vulnerability to that.

Additionally, again, even if the OS (or kernel in the case of linux) couldn't be infected or attacked, the packages or services installed can be attacked, infected, or otherwise messed with and should be protected.

I'm not sure if you intended to reply to me, but I am aware of this. Thanks for checking my understanding though :)

I see you're operating on a plane of reality where windows is the only bad software, so it's kinda pointless for me to continue here. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Y'know, I'm pretty deep in the FLOSS brainrot, but as someone who: A. Daily drives Fedora and Debian B. Works for an MSP and deals with Windows daily

Most companies cannot afford the productivity, monetary, or labour hour investment that is involved with changing to a whole new OS and re-training all of the workforce. Thats even if you ignore that switching to Linux generally also involves changing some percentage of programs that are used for business critical processes.

I love Linux, but it's not meant for every situation

Is your point "Linux and Mac dont get viruses or targeted for cyberattacks"?

Or is it "This wouldn't have broken on a different operating system"?

This was very much not caused by windows

You're shadow boxxing... This post isnt both sidesing, or defending the right, it's defending being intolerant to Nazis & Fascists

Being shot at does make one a shooting victim, even if the rounds missed.
