Finally, a hard drive which can store more than a dozen modern AAA games

Considering the state of Gaza right now, talk about kicking someone while they’re down

100% this. calling it a “looming collapse” is downplaying things. the photos I’ve seen are nothing short of post apocalyptic. people are still trying to survive amid the rubble. once you reach a certain point of loss of infrastructure the chances of recovery are poor. and this is a place where half the population are children, nontheless, which makes it even worse. so sick of people including the media downplaying a genocide

by guards I meant the guard brackets which help prevent accidental movement (source) but I agree I just can’t see this being done accidentally. the look and feel of the switches are just so different it’d be almost like mistaking a red light for a green one with normal colour vision or something. it’s still early days so i’m sure more will come out about the history of the pilots with time. if this does turn out to be intentional it’s pretty scary because it’s something that’s unrecoverable at that phase of flight if it happens and that needs to not happen again

both pilots were experienced and had also passed breathalyser tests before the flight too (source)

If I remember correctly, those switches need to be physically lifted up and rotated for the engines to switch from RUN to CUTOFF. there’s also physical guards there to prevent pilots from knocking them. here’s a diagram of the layout (source).

I’ve read theories that the pilot who manipulated the fuel switches could’ve mistook them for the stabiliser cutout switch but the switches are very different. the timing is also sus because it would’ve been at just the right time for things to have not been recoverable. 10 seconds earlier and the takeoff could’ve been aborted, 10 seconds later and the plane could’ve had enough altitude and speed to land in a safer area. also the way the pilot reacted to the other pilot suggests he saw the other pilot shut off the fuel to both engines one after the other and was in a state of shock

Humanity gives me hope again 🤘 👍

God that’s so backhanded. it’d be like him saying “you’re so smart for a woman, which university did you go to?” it comes from the assumption people from other countries are dumb or something. also he himself can barely form a coherent string of words together so… lol

So Grok became the average Twitter user?

Gee, I’m sure this didn’t happen with that other genocide /s

Genocide deniers have blood on their hands for allowing this shit to escalate even further

What a shame it’d be if the app/database got hacked and everything got deleted so ICE couldn’t identify anyone /s

I’m no expert on American law but I’m pretty sure you don’t have to show ID unless you’re given a good explanation for it.

ACAB

interesting!!! commenting to remind myself lol hopefully i don’t forget

Exactly. Basically "wahhhh this is making it harder for the kidnappers to kidnap people!! stop using the app they’re just trying to do their jobs pls feel sorry for them 😭 "

Seeing how so many Israel apologists have so much power is like seeing a headmaster defend the school bully, but much, much worse. they’re always like “NEVER AGAIN” about the Holocaust yet they’ve made a piss poor effort at preventing a genocide that’s happening right now and are actively pouring petrol on a fire

And? that equipment was being used to further a genocide against the Palestinian people. half of which are children. just because a government considers something unlawful doesn’t mean it’s morally wrong

I can just hear the genocide deniers be like

“There’s no genocide, Amnesty international is biased!!! cites ADL”

“It’s just war crimes”

At this point they’re either willfully ignorant or just plain malicious because the evidence just keeps piling up and up

I’ve never been so unhyped for a new games console in my life.

my hype for Ryujinx 2 intensifies tho

I remember seeing gameplay of Heartbound in like 2017? maybe earlier. it’s still not finished?

I remember watching a film online that had AI generated subtitles. it was shit because the subtitles said vaguely the same thing but were still very different to what was actually said. and both the film and the subtitles were in English. can’t imagine how bad AI translations will be. also what’s wrong with getting a translator, who can understand context?
