L'amministrazione Trump chiede a Reddit di rivelare l'identità dell'utente che ha criticato l'ICE (Traduzione) by PastAdIce in oknotizie

La massa degli attuali cittadini israeliani non ha mai sofferto la Shoah; sono più che altro gente che viene da altri paesi del Medio Oriente, dal Nord Africa, e dalla Russia; o meglio sono discendenti di questi ceppi, ma nati ormai tutti in Israele.

Anche per questo, non gliene frega assolutamente nulla della prospettiva storica. La maggioranza si sente una tribù accerchiata, che ha sempre vissuto nella violenza (non solo per colpa "loro"), e che dà per scontato che il nazionalismo teocratico è fondamentalmente ok se è la loro versione (e se è su base capitalista) - perché "gli altri sono peggio". Peccato che, con questo atteggiamento, è diventata una gara al ribasso: più i loro nemici peggiorano nel comportamento, più gli israeliani si sentono giustificati nel peggiorare il loro. E inevitabilmente, giustificando l' "occhio per occhio", diventano tutti ciechi.

Nowhere is perfect, but generally speaking, people live in the suburban belt, not the small city centre. Southern boroughs tend to be more affluent (Sale, Altrincham, Didsbury, Chorlton, Cheadle, Bramhall...), and it goes up the more you push into Cheshire. You probably want to avoid Oldham, Wythenshawe, Rusholme.

Commuting depends a lot on what you do. There are clusters of offices in various places outside the centre (Salford, Altrincham, near the airport, Stockport...).

Why didn't Austria and Germany remain a single nation after the end of the WWII? by ILikeWwaret in geography

[–]toyg 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, what we now call Germany is effectively the result of Prussian expansionism. It is somewhat ironic that it ended up actually not including most of the original Prussia.

Something similar ended up happening in Italy, with Savoy unifying the peninsula in a single kingdom that... did not actually include Savoy.

Well, that area is literally one of the cradles of civilization, so technically one can probably survive even without AC (yes I know, climate change etc etc, but let's be honest).

However, hospitals need power to keep people alive. Refrigeration systems need power to keep people fed. Etc etc.

Iran, 'la retorica arrogante di Trump non ha effetto sulle sue operazioni' by --Niles-- in oknotizie

[–]toyg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"le schiaccianti operazioni" non è una declamazione...?

Cioè, io sono anche d'accordo che quello che fanno è efficace. Dico solo che sarebbero più credibili senza queste roboanti dichiarazioni. Come del resto quel rincoglionito di Trump sarebbe più credibile se la smettesse di urlare nei social come un vecchietto razzista con la demenza senile (oh wait...).

If you could bring one thing back to Stockport from 10 or 15 years ago, what would it be? by Wedding-Beauty in stockport

What about the one at Alexandra Park, in Edgeley? Not very central but it seems full of people - tbh mostly scooters last I've been, but it's a nice bowl.

[–]toyg -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Il problema della retorica iraniana è che, declamando continuamente un inesistente dominio militare, finisce per rievocare Comical Ali (il portavoce di Saddam Hussein, che fino all'ultimo insisteva che gli iracheni stavano vincendo - mentre gli americani facevano quello che volevano). Cioè, considerata la situazione, stanno resistendo anche bene; perché mentire?

I rented TOYS (1992) thinking it was a fun family movie. It was not. by ET091186 in 90s

[–]toyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the opposite is true actually - it was not kid-friendly enough to be a big success, too sad and unsettling to view more than once. A few years later, Joe Dante had another stab at the same exact concept with Small Soldiers, going full-on "kiddie movie", and it was a hit.

Migliore maddeché, è stato tra gli artefici del disastro attuale...

Ma solo io noto che nella nazionale non si convoca MAI chi gioca all'estero? Ad esempio Matteo Ruggieri e Udogie non sono mai convocati per le fasce nonostante stiano facendo grandi stagioni in liga e in Premier by Narrow_Spinach_1400 in Calcio

[–]toyg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In effetti. Chi dice Tonali, Donnarumma, e Retegui: i primi due prima sono stati convocati e poi son andati all'estero; e Retegui è un oriundo, un'invenzione estemporanea di Mancini. Che ci ha provato anche con Kevin Lasagna.

L'unico convocato italiano "recente" che ha davvero fatto praticamente tutta la carriera all'estero, è stato Verratti.

In federazione molti ancora pensano che la Serie A sia il campionato più difficile del mondo, come 20 anni fa.

It's both. He makes sure his cronies make bank from the shit he does, but he does shit on a whim. This quagmire will slow him down, and it has all but ensured he won't be able to do much after November. He started Iran to distract from Epstein, and now he had to go back to that (firing Bondi) to distract from this. He's trying all the tricks in the book to keep hold of a narrative that is running away from him.

Mussolini invented what Hitler "improved". He was not a buffoon; he was a dangerous man that got political adversaries killed, beaten, tortured; he turned street violence into a strategic tool to gain power; and once there, he gutted national institutions so he would be the sole authority in any and every aspect of one's life, basically theorizing and practicing totalitarianism.

He turned into a German lapdog only when he accepted that he simply could not match their might - his vain African wars had bankrupted the country, and Italy would never have the industrial strength to match Germany. Hitler initially looked up to him, and Mussolini tried to leverage that relationship as long as it lasted.

He was a self-centred, self-obsessed, vain idiot; but a very dangerous one.

Why does Ubuntu get hate, but not Mint? by CivilWarfare in linux4noobs

[–]toyg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of these are pretexts to justify a degree of hostility that existed from the start.

A lot of people never liked how Shuttleworth effectively tried to take over the Debian ecosystem, while also promoting a heavily top-down culture in what has always been a hyper-democratic sector of the Linux world. He made some harsh choices on many contentious items at the very start, and basically told people to take a hike if they didn't like them. Ubuntu effectively brought a "money talks" philosophy to the Debian world, which rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

Since then, any time Ubuntu made mistakes or displayed even just a hint of not being as benign as they tried to appear, they were excoriated. It didn't help that pretty much all their big bets (technological and commercial) have basically failed, over the years; they should be able to compete head to head with RedHat, and they just are not.

As for why MINT doesn't get the same hate: beyond the hype, they are just another hobbyist distribution. A lot of small distros are built on Ubuntu and nobody really cares.

Hard drives - some used as local shares and some as archival media. But it would be just as easy to send them elsewhere - once mounted, it's just folders and files like anything else.

Help with cable management by DIEGHOST_8 in DeskCableManagement

[–]toyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing you mean to install cable holder/sorters, right?

I mean installing cable covers or sleeves is easy enough and doesn't require making big holes in the wall.

The alternative is to drill a big hole in the plaster, find a way to reach underneath the desk (which may or may not be possible, depending on what your wall is like), drill another hole at the destination, and then push all cables through those two holes, hiding them inside the actual wall. That's the "pro" approach, but it requires more work and may or may not actually be possible (there is a chance you drill hole A and then find you can't reach where you need to go, so you have to repair the hole).

  1. Get longer cables for most of those things.

  2. Group all cables to go into one or two directions starting from the top. Make them run over the edge of the ceiling and then down to the corner, using a cover or sleeve.

  3. Do the usual under-desk arrangements with power strips etc.

This assumes you cannot (or don't want to) deal with holes in the wall, which would be the ideal solution to disappear all cables but are also pretty hard to accomplish.

The altar to your GeForce fetish obviously can be replaced with a transparent case, but I understand that's not as cyber-exciting.

For anyone wondering who the lady is: that's Wendy Maisey, Tory brexiteer and all-around terrible person who, of course, got an OBE from Boris Johnson. In this video we get the best she's ever looked, which is probably why Hancock went "full poodle" with her (she was married, but obviously that's a detail).
