Why is criticism of the only Jewish state antisemitism but then whites can’t even think of having their own state?

I love when people come here with quotes from books like this is the ultimate argument or something.

Is this a reliable metric? One would think there would be lots of jitter. But if you combine with something else like IP address it may be useful.

Sorry? Why? I must’ve missed that memo :)

They don’t support windows, they don’t support regular screens on Linux… are they a Mac shop basically?

For most queries the AI summary works. If it doesn’t, oh well.

Yesterday I looked up how much a certain car weighs. The AI summary gave me an answer. It may be the wrong one, but I looked it up out of curiosity, so it doesn’t ultimately matter.

The best thing Google has done in the last decade easily.

Completely agree with the last paragraph.

Pathetic that in 2025 there still are games that rely on p2p connections, to the detriment of the experience because cheating can’t be detected server-side. GTA 5 is one of them.

Cloudflare easily detects that using your discrete external port range and knows better than to show you a CAPTCHA.

> Cloudflare sometimes preventing access to some sites and annoying CAPTCHA challenges due to CGNAT are relevant to the average person.

They would be, but thankfully CGNAT doesn’t cause that.

CGNAT is completely irrelevant to the average person. It’s only an issue if you expect others to connect to you, which is something that almost all people don’t need.

(inb4 but the internet was made to receive connections! Well yes, decades ago maybe. But that’s not the way things have evolved. Get with the times.)

It’s incredible that here of all places you will have someone justify a person who’s completely unqualified running something as important as a country’s electrical network.

I wonder if they’d say the same if this had happened in, say, Hungary.

Really WhatsApp is not a national security threat? Ukraine is basically a vassal state of the US at this point, I would think it would be best to depend less of them.

Okay: multitasking in windows phone was rubbish. You would see a loading screen all the time when switching between apps that lasted seconds. Of course that was still better than the pile of garbage that Android was/is, so it was your only option if you, like me, weren’t able to afford an iPhone. But that’s doesn’t mean I’m going to pretend I miss it.

Windows Phone was good if you liked staring at "Resuming..." screens all day.
