We haven't heard from our developer/lead maintainer/near entirety of the staff for about a month, so it's kind of hard to say. If they are working on something in the backend, it doesn't feel like they care enough to inform the community about it.

A refurbished tiny/mini/micro PC will use more power in terms of sheer numbers, but the cost is still so small on them that it's really not worth considering for most.
Hey hey, no reason to bring up the past.
I think we agree, the past is over.
I mean, you're in the right place then my friend, because you're not going to subscribe to much of anything that has an international presence.
It kinda sucks when you're in one of the 'high price' countries, but there's lot of countries who wouldn't have it at all if they had to pay our prices.
Oh look everybody we got a repeat from this one of giving up and going home once it's pointed out that they've offered nothing!
Still not seeing any comments on the sources. How you feel about the hamas charter? Was women's suffrage where it all went wrong? Openly admitting to suicide bombings and other acts of terror and being proud of being a terrorist organization? Is that what the good guys do?
This isn't me, this is coming direct from your 'good guys'.
Yeah the Allies fought against Hitler with violence because they wanted to kill all Germans and never achieve peace.
And the ANC too they didn’t want peace they just wanted genocide!
There's the segue that no one cares about that I mentioned in my last reply.
Childish arguments.
And, there's the 'I give up and go home' statement I predicted in the last reply too. It was expected after any sources are presented.
They have been open to peace and tried to negotiate peacefully far before October 7.
You're saying they want peace then describing them as a violent resistance. Those don't match up.
“khamas evil evil evil”
They're unapologetically and unashamedly a terrorist organization and describe themselves as such. You're the only one confused. They publicly claim responsibility for acts of terror like the below:
Hamas Suicide Bombings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_suicide_attacks#:~:text=A%202007%20study%20of%20Palestinian,PFLP)%20and%202.7%25%20by%20other%20and%202.7%25%20by%20other)
Hamas’s government is built upon israel never accepting any peaceful deal
Partially correct, but misleading, the charter that Hamas was founded on:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Hamas_charter
Hamas' government was built on a requirement for violent jihad and fantasizing about the death of all jews (it's specifically in the charter). The government charter specifically speaks against negotiating for peace. Notable extra callouts railing against equal rights for women, codifying them as exclusively 'homemakers' and 'child rearers'. A whole special section just to state that womens suffrage was something the west made up just to make them specifically look bad.
Your next comment should be something along the lines of "I give up on this, you're obviously not listening to this stuff I made up". Make sure to include a segue with an analogy comparing it to something else though.
None of the single violent resistances...
It's hard line to tow, but if you are going to say they're open to peace, you got to stick to it.
If you believe all those people that were willing to risk their lives to stand up against oppression in the past were super nice and educated about the whole situation you’re in for a big treat.
The IRA and the ANC are not the nice guys you think they were which only targeted military and politicians. And don’t google what the Haitians did during their rebellion against slavery.
No one is interested in bringing any of this into the conversation.
Hamas is very much on the lower end of civilian casualty rates for a resistance group.
This is where I have a problem, you're framing 'lower end of civilian casualty' as a good statistic to look at and a sign that one side is somehow 'noble'. People are trying really hard to frame it as a battle of good vs evil, where in reality it's just a battle of evil vs evil, but one side is dramatically less effective and has less resources. The wikipedia article on suicide bombings Hamas has claimed credit for isn't small and that's just covering one type of terrorism.
It's horrible for the Palestinian civilians, but Hamas has built their entire government on the idea of perpetual war and specifically not negotiating a solution. I hope I'm wrong, but I personally don't see a peaceful solution here where both sides are still around.
This is a hard line to tow, this is not a conflict with a 'good guy'.
The Hamas charter that they were founded on is publicly accessible, anyone can read it. It directly calls for Jihad as the only answer, and directly say that negotiation is not an option. There is also a line referencing that judgement will not come until the Jews are killed. Israel is doing bad things but don't let that lead you to the conclusion that Hamas is okay. It's really rough.
I think a lot of us have had the same thoughts looking around kbin.
We all appreciate the work Ernest has done, but we really need someone to dedicate some time to picking out a team to help him, but it seems like that's not happening for whatever reason. I know there's a few other people in the codeberg, but I believe there was a falling out there. What we really need in addition to that though is just generic admins.
Not many and none that I can think of with deep pockets (besides google). I think the corporate world has almost completely piled on Chrome.
I get where you're coming from and I want to be on your side, but this can get real tricky depending on the... I guess belief systems that make up the majority of the people on the bus.
I see where your hearts at, and I like it, but even though a lot of them are being assholes about it, some of the people in the thread make a good point. How we feel about 'group pressure' depends a lot on which group is most numerous at the time.
