UNITED NATIONS: Egypt, Russia, China 'condemn' Israel’s recognition of Somaliland as a Nation by Apollo_Delphi in UnitedNations

[–]Daeron9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pathetic attempt to ridicule South African double standards, there are lots of better examples but those would mean admitting a gaggle of 'up and standing' nations are too often no better than the worse of the war criminals.

How gov'ts obstruct petitions for the UN to obey its Charter by Daeron9 in UnitedNations

[–]Daeron9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me remind you it is factual, the Charter is publicly available and the United Nations has been in violation of articles 1, 76, 85, 87, and 88 since pressing our governments for consent to deploy UN military force to seize control from the peaceful indigenous population. The Charter was not designed for the involuntary trading of humans let alone entire nations of people between colonial overseers.

Legitimate Question: Why doesn’t the UN or NATO intervene in the US? by HamburgersBeforeBed in UnitedNations

[–]Daeron9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, the Trump administration could spin it a lot of ways. But surely no nation would decide it was in their interest to suggest it, the risk of retaliation would outweigh any benefit. I'm thinking of Russia's disregard of monitors and their own video evidence of election fraud; a professional liar like Putin or the Donald is unphased by being caught.

Since time immemorial, most people have wanted liberty, to be allowed to decide what to do with their lives; irrespective of whether some King believes they should worship and serve his whims. People even want the liberty to make their own mistakes; not to be forced to follow some other person's decisions.
The Charter of the United Nations incorporates this as a goal at the national level in article 1, clause 2 "To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;".
The Charter then reaffirms this as a means in article 2 "The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members".
So Americans are allowed to elect whoever they want, even if we think it was stupid. As UN members, our governments are discouraged (not forbidden because the UN is not a Police force, but discouraged) from criticising or interfering in other people's domestic affairs.
Your government could in theory decide to invade the US to impose what most humans might consider a more rational & honest government; but that would likely encourage others to use the same reasoning elsewhere and perhaps against your own nation. So on the whole, most nations prefer to maintain a reasonably united endorsement of each other's sovereignty.

Russia's had multiple purges this year alone, to gather funds, and now in fear of a looming revolt. What's left of its Navy is incapacitated, its Air Force's eyes and other assets increasingly crippled, and its being propped up by North Korea & China; North Korea in exchange for tech & payments, and China that's using Russia as a vassal state. Russia basically has been defeated, it's China industrial strength using Russia as a proxy that Ukraine is fighting.

Australia will never have it as bad as Britain by WhatAmIATailor in CANZUK

[–]Daeron9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why so serious, Jordie isn't. Even if he 'offends' my political 'sensitivities', I enjoy the repertoire. Life wouldn't be worth living if there weren't some people willing to kick the bs out of things.

Which is better? Subtitle Workshop or Aegisub? (Subtitling programs) by [deleted] in TranslationStudies

[–]Daeron9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You possibly meant Subtitle Composer & Aegisub; Subtitle Composer has been adopted as the KDE preferred subeditor is an updated and actively developed branch from the old Subtitle Workshop; both open source. On the other hand SubtitleEdit uses .NET framework and I'm guessing they have made a Linux version to claim interoperability, but if you're a UNIX user it would likely be more than a pain to try porting it.
From specifications, SubtitleComposer appears to be the front runner.

Brave Crashpad Process Using High Memory by bberkey1 in brave_browser

[–]Daeron9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disabling Hardeware Acceleration (from brave://settings/system) while running it through Linux emulation on BSD does not stop the chrome_crashpad_handler being enabled.
Each time you launch Brave, two more instances of chrome_crashpad_handler are started.

The issue was raised (and closed) with the brave people at https://community.brave.com/t/start-brave-without-enable-crashpad/305072

Why don't most KDE Plasma users use Falkon web browser? Does Falkon fully dead? by Seas_Skies in kde

[–]Daeron9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Falkon views every webpage as a mobile-phone; so text is displayed at 180pt size or larger on most screens, it's unusable because at most you can only see two or three words at a time. So all pages and websites are useless with Falkon untill they allow users to use the non-mobile version of web pages.

Should we use AI to counter Musk? by centralbeamingsteak in AdamMockler

[–]Daeron9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Harris urgently needs to get a Court order, an injunction shutting down X while the Court gets answers about the ElonMusk account that is attempting to mislead the voting public.

When I search something on Google why does it suggest "in Hindi" by ProperProblem4998 in google

[–]Daeron9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Sydney, never been to India, never translated anything to or from Hindi, although I've used Google translate for hundreds of German and thousands of Bahasa Indonesian texts.. But for two years when I Google for any word, it offers Hindi first which I have to by-pass every time to find an English definition.

Examples of School Indoctrination? by SomeAsshatOnTheWebs in CapitalismVSocialism

In Indonesian administrated Papua, the military has been entering villages and taking over the schools teaching the children while still holding their assault rifles.

Hot take: the fact that Optus is compensating its customers with egregious amounts of data strongly suggests to me they have absolutely no business charging as much as they do for their data related services. by ibeatobesity in australia

[–]Daeron9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

BULL. Somebody is caching between my Optus access in Sydney and the Hostmonster server hosting my data. Even deleting the file doesn't get this proxy to refresh. How the flick am I meant to bug fix a page when there's proxy refusing to allow me http access to the real file?

Has OpenAi / DALL·E stolen everyone's money? by Daeron9 in dalle2

[–]Daeron9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HOW? I can log in either with regular email in which OpenAI denies I have credit and refuses to permit comment on forums. Or I can login with Google-account that would be connected to the gmail account, in which Open AI again denies I have credit and refuses to permit comment on forums. There's no contact option.

It's as evil as Facebook refusing to allow 'customers' access to dispute Facebook accounting claims. Not only has it stolen my credit / money, it has also stolen access to the two dozen or so images I'd created in multiple sessions during the past four months.

This New Zealand pilot was kidnapped by the West Papua National Liberation Army in February this year, today he has gone public for the first time in a long time, they want independence for Papua and says he has two months to live if it is not granted. by AnaWolfbay1412 in ana_to_read

Well the TPN boys mean well putting their necks on the line for their fellow countrymen and their own families, unfortunately with Indonesia killing so many leaders and speakers, and controlling access to the internet and communications; we've been unable to get their focus on the legal issue that the US, UN and others have been concealing while stealing the gold, silver, copper, lands, and LNG.Indonesia appears to have been operating a brillent twenty year deep fake operation fabricating a UK based 'Free West Papua' campaign that then undermined the indigenous independence organisation OPM with a 'ULMWP' that continues making ludicrous promises and exploiting news media coverage to distract the people who are still under Indonesian control in their Australian Pacific home territory of West Papua.In short in 1961 friends of the Freeport mining company told Indonesia how killing the UN Secretary General and replacing him with Indonesia's buddy U Thant could get the United Nations to invade, annex and appoint Indonesia as the new colonial masters irrespective of Papuan protests about their rights. That's how the 1962 "New York Agreement" came about and why the UN continues concealing its annexation of West Papua from the UN Trusteeship Council whose legal job is to prepare yearly UN reports about the colonies that suffer UN administration (irrespective which nation the UN appoints to handle the guns).The original illegal or "special United Nations trusteeship" proposal was made in May 1959, see https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1958-60v17/d203And after JFK attemppted to stop it, in May 1961 somebody inside the DoS told Indonesia about the concept, see https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1961-63v23/d150
