Important context that the bot misses:

The Times is only explaining that this video is not of the projectile that struck the hospital. They are not claiming to know the source of that one, only analyzing this video to disprove that it supports Israel's claims.

"Multi-person" doesn't do it justice. The battleships are designed to be run with a deck crew of 16+. Submarines 8, and destroyers 12+.

It's going to be a major task of coordination for these things to be run. I've seen players have a hard time coordinating tanks, and that's usually just a driver and a gunner.

Just finished watching this.

I'm not sure how I feel about it. They did well enough at creating some tension but the overall story and resolution just felt lacking.

The idea behind a thriller like this, in my mind, is usually for you to discover the solution to the problem alongside the characters. Misdirects are fine but to have information completely unrelated to the solution revealed right at the end as though that is how you should solve it really hurts the vibe.

The consistent flashbacks also show that they needed to do something to try to help guide the audience to an answer. In the end it isn't a reasonable conclusion with the information presented. It's meant as more of a "haha gotcha!" outcome.

I can't remember the exact use case but I did submit a PR at a previous job that used $$ and not a single senior developer questioned it

 

Got laid off in June and have been fortunate enough to be on gardening leave until the end of this month. The job search has not gone well so far and I started getting desperate.

Applied to be a seasonal driver with UPS. Figured it would pay the bills for the season and I can continue my search in the meantime. I should've seen the first red flag when their system told me to schedule a road test but they had no dates, then hours later I get a call saying they should have more listed within the next ten days so just keep checking daily.

I keep checking and I finally get a chance to schedule one. Picked today, Sep 14th at 8:15am. System tells me it will be between 8:15 and 9:15, okay fine. I show up and talk to the manager who never gave me his name, he tells me to sit in the break room and someone will come get me.

I showed up 10 minutes early and left 5 minutes late, and not a single person came by to get me or even tell me there's a delay.

If you can't respect me when I don't work for you, there's no chance you'll respect me when I do.

"Anonymous" is a super broad term in tracking. All it means is that you are given a unique ID by Facebook while they track you. But that ID is the same across any site that integrates Pixel. So they have a metric ton of your browsing data tied to the same ID even though it's across a few dozen or hundred websites. They also use that same ID when you're on Facebook itself, so they can serve ads based on that ID instead of your Facebook account. It helps them to skirt some privacy requirements while still building a super detailed profile of you.

Something important to note is that this is being shared through Facebook's Pixel service.

Pixel is similar to Google Analytics, but Facebook is also more aggressive in forcing companies to use Pixel, and what's even worse is that any data shared with Pixel can be made available to other companies very quickly and easily.

From a marketing standpoint it's brilliant because it gives you the chance to see what other websites you may share audiences with and how to convert some of that.

From a privacy standpoint it's a nightmare, and the fact that the data you're entering onto a website is tracked by it and accessible is a huge problem that needs to (but won't) be addressed. I really wish that there wasn't such a large population of people who have just latched onto Facebook because they are a plague to privacy.

F-Droid is just a front end for repositories so there are a few ways you can list an app on it - mainly by hosting your own repo or contributing to an existing one.

If you go into F-Droid -> Settings -> Repositories you can see what repos are already configured. Most major repos will have a guide for how to contribute, and this is the F-Droid official repo guide.
