    The Catholic Church has actively ran the longest largest worldwide Pedophile ring in human history. For the past 1800 years the Catholic Church recruited, supported, obfuscated, defended, and excused pedophilia, which continues to this day. The fact the Catholic Church still allowed to operate, in any way shape or form, with youth of any kind, in any country, anywhere, means we've all purposefully lost the thread. Beside the Catholic Church being criminal, it's only shown how very little adults care about the systematic raping of children. Like, at all.

    :Russia and India sign weapons deal - reports

    Early this morning, there were rumblings among some Russian media outlets that officials from Moscow's only state weapons firm, Rosoboronexport, were in talks with India over signing a weapons deal.

    The deal would see Russia hand over some of its anti-aircraft capability and technology to India.

    "Rosoboronexport is working with Indian private and public enterprises to organise joint production of aviation weapons and integrate them into the existing aviation fleet in India," RIA cited the company's general director, Alexander Mikheyev, as saying.

    Now, another state news agency says that deal has been signed.

    Tass said the deal to supply and produce "Igla" air defence systems concluded early this morning - meaning that Russia will give some of its hand-held anti-aircraft missiles to India - and allow production of the Igla there under licence.

    It quoted a "top arms export official" in its report. "

    lol, fucking european strawman

    Gaza was given to Arabs for self rule and determination in 2005, all Jews left Gaza, even Jewish graveyards were dug up and moved, it was theirs to do with as they liked.

    They've spent the last 18 years making into a terrorist Disneyland with a dozen Islamofascist terrorist organizations with the stated goal of killing Jews and destroying the state of Israel, they've fired hundreds of thousands of missiles into Israel indiscriminately targeting civilians, and launched countless cross borders attacks against Jewish civilians, including one that caused the largest loss of Jewish life in any single day, anywhere, since the Holocaust on October 7th.

    They were given Gaza to live in freedom and self determination, they used it to kill Jews. They were warned. They chose to ignore the warnings.

    These acts of terrorism were perpetrated by the entire Gazan community, they voted for Hamas, and allowed Hamas to rule their government for the last 17 years, Hamas and all the other Islamic terrorists in Gaza are not outsiders, they were born in Gaza of Gazans, they were raised in Gaza, they were educated in Gaza, they married and had children of their own in Gaza, their Parents, teachers, mosques, hospitals, are all in Gaza, from which they use to hid and store weapons to attack Jews, Hamas, PIJ and all the other Islamic terrorist in Gaza ARE Gaza, there has been no uprising in Gaza, there have only been attacks on Israel. This is what Gazans have supported and sacrificed for in every way they possibly could.

    And now it's here. I do hope they enjoy what they've worked generationaly to achieve.

    There will be no ceasefire this time.

    Question about video resolution: Why do my 1080p encoded videos show up correctly but my 2160p encoded videos show up so much darker.

    This has been bugging me for a while now, windows 10, new motherboard, HDMI to 4k tv [600 nits], intel uhd on board display adapter running at 60hz, when I play a 1080p encoded video with, for example, Windows Movie and TV app, it plays fine, but when I play the same move or show in a 2160p encoded video it shows so much darker to the point of making it unwatchable. Pulled up the same show, one in 1080 the other in 2160 and took a screenshot, and am attaching it to this post. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? The fact I can screenshot it and it looks darker in the screenshot seems to tell me it's not the fault of my TV, but I can't figure out for the life of me, what I would upgrade to allow the 2160p encoded videos to play as bright as the 1080p videos, I know I could mess with the brightness on either the display or the video app, but why should that be necessary (windows Movies and TV app does not have a adjustable brightness, but the "glamour" of the videos it plays beats any other video player out the door, by miles, if you know you know).

    Is KBIN dying? Srs Question: Is there any further development or support being done for Kbin.Social Keep getting the error page when trying to block users, create posts, view notifications. Been going

    Is KBIN alive or dying, moved here from lemmy because I'm fundamentally at odds with belonging to any social media platform named after a man who owned the largest personally held collection of nazi memorabilia in the world. It's also cleaner interface, and what I thought was a simpler more all encompassing platform where I could tailor filtering, but can't seen to block users or subs from lemmy.world (amongst others). Notifications haven't worked in weeks, when clicking on the notifications number up on the top right next to profile, it brings up the same error screen (screenshot attached to post). Tried sending email to kbin.social email but haven't heard anything back. Are there plans to fix these issues? Does anyone know? cheers. \*\*\*\* update: it's not spam , it's just me being a fucking idiot. my apologies. i had two domains blocked, and in doing so, triggered a bug which kbin users sometimes run into, that being specifically not seeing comments if they have any domains blocked, i had two, i deleted the blocks on the domains, and presto, like magic i can see comments. no spam, just stupidity, mine. thanks again to earnest for the private message which finally clued me in. i'm not going to delete this post and add to yet more broken threads.
