I’m guessing you’re referencing the Hamas Charter. It has since been updated:

While the 1988 Hamas Charter had been widely criticized for its antisemitism, the 2017 document removed the antisemitic language and stated that Hamas’ fight was not with Jews as such because of their religion but with the “Zionist project.”[10][11][12][13][14][15] When asked, Hamas leaders explained that “The original charter has now become a historical document and part of an earlier stage in our evolution. It will remain in the movement’s bookshelf as a record of our past.”[16]

They haven’t fully repudiated the old charter, though, so there’s that. But I can’t fault them for trying to push back against the “Zionist project.” Anyone would fight for their right to continue living on their ancestral lands, if threatened.

Thank you, I will definitely check those out.

It also seems I can root my phone, but I’d rather not go that route until absolutely necessary (e.g. some future update that breaks side loading).

I turn off my phone every night, so I changed that back as soon as I found out.

They also messed with the navigation bar… Before, instead of having three buttons, you could have it display three lines at the bottom that you used by swiping upward. They did away with that, so now your only options are 1) the three regular buttons that are too easy to accidentally press and take up too much screen real estate, or 2) one line that is harder to use combined with a back functionality enabled by swiping from the left ir right sides of the screen. It’s not only slower to use than the three lines, but it also results in accidentally going back when trying to scroll horizontally.

They could have left an option to keep the three lines, but no, they love reminding us we don’t really own the devices we pay for >:|

Idk, but in this instance, we have Paul the Apostle to thank for Christians’ submission to authority, no matter how vile it is:

Romans 13 1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

For reference, the way you do it is:

1. Copy the article’s link
2. Go to archive.ph and paste link in the second text field to search for an already-archived version
3. If nothing comes up, paste the link in the first text field to archive the article (will take a few moments)

Hmm, I just tested with Firefox on Android (w/ uBlock Origin installed) and saw no such thing. Maybe you hit an invisible limit?

Sucks that 12ft.io was taken down; it was easy to prepend it to any address. (I was even using it as a proxy as an fu to news and government sites I didn’t like.) At least archive.is/ph still works.

Definitely. It would have to be curated similarly to Wikipedia, with discussions, disclaimers and ample references. Also, it would need to be stressed that alternative medicines only be used as a last resort.

We need a fallback plan for when all else fails, since we obviously can’t trust politicians and Big Pharma with our health. Wasn’t there an open source project aimed at making the knowledge of how to synthesize drugs available to all? We need to build on that, and also a searchable database of naturally occurring compounds and their pharmacological effects. I want to be able to search a list drugs that might have similar effects to the ones I’m taking, just in case I don’t get my Rxs refilled for whatever reason.

Heck, I still pirate it even though I bought it. (I didn’t want the hassle of migrating my account after the Microsoft buyout.) PollyMC ftw!

Clonk! It’s a 2D mining/strategy/base-building hybrid that was apparently more popular in Germany than other places. I actually paid to play it way back in '05, but it has since become freeware. It’s got a particle sim (similar to Noita, but not as extensive) that plays into the scenarios well.

I didn’t expect it to work, but I hoped it would. But then again, even if it did go through, it would be business as usual with Israel mistreating Palestinians the same way they have been for decades.

The FDA says the proposed rule will apply to traditional cigarettes, roll-your-own tobacco, cigars and pipe tobacco.

Argh! I’ve been smoking pipe tobacco this whole time to save money and avoid additives. Why not force companies to stop adding dangerous and unnecessary chemicals to their products? And if they care about people’s health and the burden on the healthcare industry so much, why not try actually fixing the broken healthcare/insurance system?

I may have to try growing my own tobacco.

Looks great! Are you rendering with EEVEE Next?

Regarding the low-res textures: they don’t look too bad, but you could always blur the final image a bit and add a VHS filter like others do with Backrooms content. (But then all the other details would be obscured somewhat.)

Nice shot! Looks similar to the Riverside (CA) area.

For anyone not getting this reference it’s a fascinating, but sad story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Howe_Lovatt

UN aid operations halt in Gaza after Israeli evacuation orders: Official

A top UN official tells reporters the repeated evacuation orders have upended the organisation’s aid operations.

That looks like a blast, but I’d make sure the weather reports were favorable first…

Unfortunately you’re correct. Even if not everyone is funneled into the prison system, their belongings get taken away and/destroyed. Some even lose beloved pets. I imagine it’s extremely demoralizing having your life broken down to zero and having to rebuild again and again.
