My two cents (and I know this is not the right community for my comment) but : you were not really a Muslim before that either.

You don't inherit Islam in your genes or get born with it, it isn't like Judaism, being a Muslim relies only in one core principal which is "submission to God", theie isn't a good muslim or a bad Muslim if you truly analyse the Quran, by not practicing the religion and strict abidance to its major sins, you are not submitting to "Allah" aka you are not a Muslim. unlike in christianity, not avoiding major sins and accomplishing your major duties you will end up in Hell no matter whether you believed in Allah or not. In fact your view of the religion, and your interpretation o it thereof doesn't matter to him as well, Allah expects you to submit to him and all his commandments. by failing so, & according to Islam you will get the same treatment as everyone else heathens, pagans , atheist, he doesn't care about your label or if you view his religion as compatible with you feminist values or not.

So to sum up in Islam, only those who submit to Allah "submitters" are the once he calls "muslims", "Islam" means "submissions" the rest can choose whatever label they like, they are not Muslims..

let democracy, law and order do its job

As if the Entity currently committing Genocide isn't considered a democracy. Or the one which invaded Iraq under the lie of them having nuclear weapons isn't a democracy, and has resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths. or millions of death caused by colonialism of "European Domocracies" the biggest of which is the UK. I can go on and on about what democracies have committed around the world. you can still use it to pat yourselves on the back. but if you take a honest look you will see that democracies aren't inherently better than other forms when it comes to criminal and imperialist conduct.

They are tying their tongues in knots when the answer to South Africa's case is really simple. Israel "IS COMITTING GENOCIDE" and it should stop.

there are significant concerns from both sides on human right issues, war crime and individual conduct.

it is Like saying we have heard you but Israel needs to finish the job here. So here is a token for All of you Allies Of Israel, Let's All act concerned about Human rights violations and respecting international law so we can buy them more Time. and if any faction of your citizens criticize your inaction, you can refer to our decision as we are the sole jurors of international law.

They are very fierce at censoring their IP material, anything that lands on youtube that hasn't been altered to avoid copyright bot, gets taken down immediately. even shows that have aired the same day.

Yep, even when bing censors something, it gets censored by DDG aswell, DDG is just a fancy proxy.

Does it really matter. when a country Like South Africa puts a solid case before the ICJ with solid documented proof about all genocidal attacks on civilians. The ICJ and the international community prefers to look away. and instead tells Israel to be more careful "next time", as if what has been committed isn't already enough.

I have been following the DMA closely, and so far it has been a big disappointment, just as I expected.

The way the EU approaches this walled garden problem, is to try and offer ways for other competitors to tap into the user base of the bigger players instead of trying to allow all EU citizens to chat with any other EU citizen who uses META Products regardless of their host platform. meaning "us" people who wish to self host an xmpp or Matrix servers and chat with facebook friends, It won't be straight forward or entirely possible for us to do so. unless maybe by doing a KYC with META. and signing up very stringent service agreements.

Meta will be creating all sorts of hurdles the DMA laws will allow them to, to cripple interoperability, from making other plateform signing up to special permissions from Meta, to hiding interoperability settings and making them opt-in, and building a scary rhetoric why you shouldn't be allowing other people outside of META to get in contact with you. There are some valid concerns, but I suspect Meta will implement the most spiteful procedures they can get away with, then spin up a rhetoric about proving their users being massing against interoperability.

Copilot was trained on FOSS software, so maybe it's already too late.

I have never seen a cucked nation like the UK in the world before. u guys have no resistance what so ever ! the french should have bought you some freedoms a few centuries ago.

Those who buy apple products deserve each other.

You guys are complaining about a subscription to apple and amazon ? go look how much a subscription to an Autodesk product costs ?

Are you telling me your democracy is held together with tape and needles ?

I call bullshit on this, This is nothing short of propaganda by think tank that is financed by the military industrial complex.

Putin won't dare NATO member countries, especially when he hasn't finished with Ukraine.

What these big giants were trying to do is scoop up as much talent as possible so they don't end up at a competitor, even if that meant some employees would be getting very light workloads. that's one of the many reasons too Google keeps starting new projects and killing them a few years later.

I don't know where you are getting your numbers. maybe it's your selection bias, but facebook's userbase keeps groing, and even if its getting less teenager engagement, those teenagers are flocking to Meta's other platform Instagram.

pdfdrive Thanks for the suggestion, is it any better than z-library or do they host the same content ?

Contrary to many in here, I don't think this will cause another exodus from reddit. those who might be concerned by this have already left or reduced their time on the platform

I always thought about why don't FOSS projects that are at risk of getting sued by big corp like (NewPipe, Popcorn Time, streamio, tachiyomi ....) embrace the dark web or git over torrent via VPN, so their projects don't get threatened with take downs. z-library ended having to move to the dark web after all.

So they are not independent then. not even their staunchest ally (USA) recognizes their Independence, so I don't see where is the controversy with Irish PM's statement.

He is not technically wrong, as the Taiwanese themselves haven't declared independence from China.

I am not criticizing the free work of the open source community. it is just a recognition that commercial software is way ahead of anything the FOSS community has produced so far. And this is true for almost all software categories

If you are doing professional work. than Gimp doesn't come close to Photoshop, when they will introduce non-destructive editing Gimp will definitely become better. but PS keeps widening the gap with very powerful tools like AI fill an stuff.

• Gimp needs to seriously reconsider their UX/UI design it is an absolute nightmare. it feels like trying to steer a spaceship from Startreck.

This is Beyond "Can I interest you in some Tracking cookies ?" , this is "You MF better put these cookies down your throat or I will shove them up your Ass".

Now Nazi Germans are teaming up with Israel and other Germans against the Arabs and the Browns, As long long as they find an inferior race to hate, they are fine with whoever are their allies.

Oh the irony, if only innocent people weren't at the end of this .

Every accusation by Israelis is a confession

Do I like Chaos if I wish for Trump to win in 2024 ? /s

Yeah, Maybe I Like Chaos, anyways Its fun to watch Chaos from afar

Hopefully, Matrix [Element & al ] and Revolt will catch up to discord

As long as they keep getting money out of it. and with record numbers year over year. they have no incentive to change course. Google has a monopoly over search engine that affords them the unique position of not giving a dime about user satisfaction. the users are trapped anyway!

If you’re not that familiar with the language, it’s likely you won’t be contributing to the project.

You can still borrow and implement features developed by project x into project y , but I do understand the time limitation.

because I am more of a visual learner I wondered whether developers don't use diagrams and flow charts, or just don't include them in the docs.

Exactly what I was referring to. its the type of flow charts you find included in some whitepapers as well.

No, I haven't started my project yet. I was looking for docs with descriptions and diagrams about server-client chat algorithms. And I haven't found any, that's why I am asking!

Pakistan needs to get its home security in order. It has been the breeding ground for many armed militias. the 100 deaths in the Latest bombing in Iran seems to have been caused by a militia operating from Pakistan #

I don't believe Apple made this product to sell. it might be just marketing ploy to keep people talking about Apple and how they are always ahead of the curve. they have a brand reputation to maintain.

Yeah, you haven't seen their Chancellor joining the marches ?

the 30s are coming earlier this century! may be it's in their genes who knows. cyclic genomes

You would think that now that NK has acquired nukes reunification would be even easier. but SK has been going further and further into the other direction.

“This conversation is over.”

Like when you have enough with someone and tell them "Do as you like", instead the responsible thing to say is "you are not getting any of our weapons, Sherlock"

Grasping at straws. as if German automakers hadn't received many subsidies and tax exemptions .

Europeans like to pay premium for the prestige of driving German made cars. now if those Chinese EV make it to Europe, they will bring havoc on premium's cars market share especially in these very challenging times.

Next Boeing planes can turn into convertibles midair.
