I noticed a wave of that right as trump declared war (declared conflict, whatever), people going "I voted for no new wars," but I noticed on /r/conservative that the takes quickly gave way to sudden concern about Iran's nuclear capability as the propaganda mills got their fodder in order.
r/Conservative is, IMO, almost 100% guaranteed to be majority bots and the most hardcore admin apologists. They're a permanent safe space and often will delete even their own members' posts if they directly criticize the Leader.
Its only value is to see the desired responses from Fox News and the far-right media.
r/flairedusersonly needs mod permission to even post threads and they revoke that permission happily too. They are the party of free speech remember. Everything is "outside users" to them, everybody is a liberal in disguise.
Who moderates /r/conservative? Whenever I drop into old subreddits these days the whole place feels very astro-turfed. High chance that it's modded by zionists, they have a lot of money and a lot of different organisations that hire full time people to "fight disinformation".
That subreddit literally requires asking mods for permission to post threads and the flair that permits posting can and does often get revoked too. Its a "whitelist" subreddit so its astroturfed or filtered by definition.
There is only one reason for us to give a damn about Israel other than religious fervor, and it's their technology and intelligence apparatus. They only care about us because we give them a lot of money and weapons, and apparently will follow them into their Leeroy Jenkins war and do the heavy lifting.
They're committing a genocide and now are ethnically cleansing Lebanon of Muslims under the cover of the Iran War. Their government is not worthy of support.
Pakistan has nukes already. They hate Israel. They harbored bin laden. Somehow we don't care about any of that. They just got a slap on the wrist I guess. Iran gets the beating stick though.
Yes, puzzling. What might the difference be? Oh, Pakistan isn't devoted to "Death to America" and they're not actually firing rockets at Israel and killing Israelis.
The thing with tit for tat geopolitics is that there is always a stone thrown already. However it seems to be the US and Israel that are assassinating leaders of sovereign nations without any due process and I'm not even talking in the last few weeks and months within this conflict either. Seems people already forgot about this with Trump from his first term too. I guess memories are short and soundbites really are king.
If they were serious they could have you know actually done something to the US all this time. Like closing this straight. Or at the very least extorting it.
The way everything is so overleveraged on the success of these companies being packed into ETFs, it would probably take down the whole economy. You'd be able to shut down even more manufacturing without even destroying it just from economic forces. That is unless the US responds by nationalizing everything, which they won't. They'd rather it go to smithereens so someone has a chance to be made wildly rich rebuilding.
I'm not sure how sustainable it is at scale but I know someone who winters off a woodburning stove. They basically get their wood for free from trees that come down in their yard or people's yards that they know. They use a hydraulic woodsplitter to manage splitting all the wood.
If you are aware of this not hard to manage. Grep. rm -rf. Done. Usually its pretty tiny folders at least. Heavier stuff usually software makes a directory under Documents. Kinda nice in a few cases having it set up like this. For example I can delete the app but preserve my config. Drop the app right back again and no setup its turnkey and works.
You can check these things out periodically. Probably a good exercise to understand parts of the OS if any of it seems unfamiliar. At least they are there, standardized locations where these sorts of tools might leave these sorts of crumbs behind. There are reasons why things go where they do. Seems byzantine until you write your own tooling and realize a lot of it is convenience functionality.
Sorry for being nitpicky about the exact tool, my broader point is that "Foo" or "corporation" isn't always obvious and is sometimes someone/thing you've never heard of before and would never think to search off the top of your head.
But like where would it be found? People are saying gotchas to me but they are saying things like host files or other directories where one might find services stored on macos. These aren't in some cryptic areas is what I am saying. If you are familiar enough with the OS to understand the concept of launchd and background services you know about these directories and what they might contain. These things are where you kinda ought to put these sorts of services if you are to write that sort of service for macos.
And really, this is better than what I've seen in linux where everyone wants to be cute with their own hidden directory paradigms.
