How do I read the article without paying?

If they just seize it military style you’ll see a coup or a full-on war Egypt and Nasser-style. This way, at least, all there will be is just a lot of crocodile tears and demonising in western press and nothing else.

Fedora’s nice! I was on it for a long time before switching to a fork called Nobara, which is still just Fedora but with some tweaks for gaming.

I’ve never tried Mint but I know it’s supposed to give a Windows-like appearance. So maybe you’ll be more at home with KDE than GNOME, though both are great.

Another thing to remember is Fedora does minor updates pretty often but it doesn’t force you to update. It’s up to you to choose when to update it. I’m not talking about the full OS upgrade like going from Fedora 39 to Fedora 40 which happens every few months etc. So make sure to just do an update once a week or every coup of weeks or something. The OS will remind you, too so no need to worry.

Also, a big difference is apt-get is gonna change to dnf when you use the terminal to get packages. When you go online to find stuff to find apps to download or commands to run, you’ll need to find the Fedora specific versions or ask for them. A lot provide for both Ubuntu and Fedora but Fedora is smaller than Ubuntu, so you will see some things online that just don’t have any instructions for Fedora. So you’ll have to ask around.

Some resources that might be helpful - the Fedora subreddit and the official forum.

I also found a couple of videos on what to do after installing Fedora. They’re from a few versions ago but the advice seems sound - video 1 + video 2

YES. When I studied Rus Lit my prof dedicated a whole lecture to this! With slides! I honestly love this part of Russian literature, it gives it so much character, and anyone who complains about it doesn’t deserve to read it.

Why couldn’t he just be a poster? He’s so good at it. Like, just be a guy who tweets and dunks on people, and everyone will love you. Why you gotta be a fascist.

Hate to see people waste their life doing something their not good at (business, governing, marriage) when they could just spend it tweeting.

It reminds you of your cowardice.

That goes hard.

It also reminds people that there is another option and that they are choosing to remain silent.

TikTok has said it will fight it in courts. So let’s see what happens. I don’t expect them to sell, even if they lose. And if they end up getting banned in the US, I wonder what other Western countries do.

Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize

Those records also outlined the range of responses from Iran that the Israeli government expected, among them small-scale attacks by proxies and a small-scale attack from Iran. None of the assessments predicted the ferocity of the Iranian response that actually occurred. From the day of the strike, Iran vowed retaliation, both publicly and through diplomatic channels. But it also sent messages privately that it did not want outright war with Israel — and even less so with the United States — and it waited 12 days to attack. American officials found themselves in an odd and uncomfortable position: They had been kept in the dark about an important action by a close ally, Israel, even as Iran, a longtime adversary, telegraphed its intentions well in advance. The United States and its allies have spent weeks engaged in intensive diplomacy, trying to tamp down first the expected Iranian counterattack, and now the temptation for Israel to reply in kind.

Bro, Israel has got to be the most incompetent of all allies. And Iran the most professional enemy. Like…maybe the US should just formally change alliances at this point.

Iranian officials say the attack was designed to inflict limited damage. U.S. officials have been telling Israeli leaders to see their successful defense as a victory, suggesting that little or no further reply is needed. But despite international calls for de-escalation, Israeli officials argue that Iran’s attack requires yet another response, which Iran says it would answer with still more force, making the situation more volatile.

Here’s The Intercept article

Who wrote the memo? What’s their name?

The memo — written by Times standards editor Susan Wessling, international editor Philip Pan, and their deputies. First distributed to Times journalists in November, the guidance — which collected and expanded on past style directives about the Israeli–Palestinian conflict — has been regularly updated over the ensuing months.

Will they be fired?

Funny you ask. Months earlier, The Intercept exposed NYT’s extremely flawed reporting in their Screams Without Words piece which was…really bad.

So, The Intercept received leaks from people within NYT who were clearly disgruntled/dissatisfied/disagreed with what was going on and published it and, in response, NYT launched an investigation into who leaked it! Rather than investigating how such a bad piece was published, they investigated how it got exposed instead - and the probe was done in an extremely racist way with people who were Muslim or from MENA targeted almost exclusively.

Yeah, since making the post, I was shown of a good summary of the entire saga by fellow Hexbearite(?) (we need a better name istg).

Ah, I’ll check it out! Don’t let anyone know, but

There are some reports right now they are claiming to reply with “an unprecedented response.” I don’t know if that’s just one perspective among many, the prevailing narrative for domestic audience, or actual military statement. I hope it’s not the latter.

Yes.

Yes, I’ll edit it to add that. I’m sorry if there was any confusion.
