I respect him for it but I really wish he would surround himself with a competent dev team, at least for the new one.

Despite the Israeli disengagement, Gaza is still considered occupied by Israel under international law.

Open air prison, apartheid and genocide. Go shill for netanyahu somewhere else.

You are justifying an apartheid state, none of what you are saying is disproving the fact that Israel is one.

The civilian population is no shield against a blockade.

The civilian population shouldn't have to deal with a blockade, indiscriminate bombing, apartheid or genocide.

That's the point. This isn't taking care of business or self defense, it's ethnic cleansing.

Despite the Israeli disengagement, Gaza is still considered occupied by Israel under international law.[20][21] The current blockade prevents people and goods from freely entering or leaving the territory, leading to Gaza often being called an "open-air prison".[22][23] The UN, as well as at least 19 human-rights organizations, have urged Israel to lift the blockade.[24] Israel has justified its blockade on the strip with wanting to stop flow of arms, but Palestinians and rights groups say it amounts to collective punishment and exacerbates dire living conditions. Prior to the Israel–Hamas war, Hamas had said that it did not want a military escalation in Gaza partially to prevent exacerbating the humanitarian crisis after the 2021 conflict.[25] A tightened blockade since the start of the Israel–Hamas war has contributed to an ongoing famine.

Having administration privileges while being blockaded is different then being an actual independant country. They couldn't even build ports or access to most of their waters for fishing.

None of this is defendable. Take a hard look at the behavior you are making excuses for. Israel seriously sucks.

Although I think Palestine should be an independant country, if it was not part of the apartheid state of israel, they would have full control over their own borders.

It is not the same as a border check specifically since it's part of the same country, hence why Israel is an apartheid state.

You both are really close to understanding the problem here, you just have to dig a bit deeper.

Read this whole article, and actually read it for real, don't skim it and pretend. It's insane to compare it to any kind of international border because it simply isn't.

welcomed across the border

In a non-apartheid state, you wouldn't have to ask and there wouldn't be a border based on your religion. They literally control their movement between zones, and getting permits takes months. It's text book apartheid.

Just look up the marriage laws in Israel.

*Edit because I was being rude.

You mean the event which Israel knew about and let happen, coming from a group they actively fund which was born out of their own constant oppression?

In any case, genocide is never a valid response. And the disproportionate amount of violence, bombing and innocent deaths speak loud as to just how rapid the dog is. Isreal also has a long history of attacking it's neighbors in times of piece.

Apartheid refers to the implementation and maintenance of a system of legalized racial segregation in which one racial group is deprived of political and civil rights. (From Cornell law)

How does this not apply?

Abu Qamar, who led the Friends of Palestine society at the University of Manchester, said she was misinterpreted and that she was seeking to support Palestinian resistance to occupation and does not condone the use of violence against civilians, nor has she expressed support for Hamas.

The tribunal said the Home Office decision was a “disproportionate interference with her protected right to free speech” under the European convention on human rights. It found that her statements could not be taken as support for Hamas or the Hamas-led attacks on 7 October.

The judgment also said Abu Qamar was “not an extremist”, and said her references to Israel as an “apartheid” state were consistent with views expressed by human rights organisations. It added that her language of “actively resisting” and “broke free” would be recognised by informed observers as relating to lawful acts of Palestinian resistance.

Why are you a staunch defender of a genocidal war mongering state. Isreal is a rabid dog, a pit bull ragdolling children.

I usually keep abreast of the scene so I'll give a lot of stuff a try. Entertainment wise, making music and images or playing dnd with it is fun but the novelty tends to wear off. Image gen can be useful for personal projects.

Work wise, I mostly use it to do deep dives into things like datasheets and libraries, or doing the boring coding bits. I verify the info and use it in conjunction with regular research but it makes things a lot easier.

Oh, also tts is fun. The actor who played Dumbledore reads me the news and Emma Watson tells me what exercise is next during my workout, although some might frown on using their voices without consent.
