@Indyposterboy John Gruber, an asshole, you say? How shocking.

@admin Yep, you’re right, if you share the link it goes to a video recorded in July. Very misleading. Will delete the post.

@admin The video is on the linked-to article, dated Sept. 18, 2024, 12:59 AM GMT+1. The video itself has no separate date stated. If the comments were made a month ago, there’s no way of ascertaining that from the linked page.

@Gina B. A makes me feel unsettled for some reason.

@timnitGebru Institutional corruption.

@moftasa “Booby-trap war”… they just can’t bring themselves to call it a terrorist attack, can they?

@nullagent I’m so sorry :( Hope you’re all right.

@fkamiah17 Fucking hell.

More explosions. Reportedly not just pagers.

@adamvs1 Could be batteries, could be multiple supply chain hacks. Unless I missed it, that article doesn’t specifically cite that it was the batteries.

@CppGuy @uint8_t @dunderhead @Professor_Stevens @Affekt This. I’ve likely assembled more computers than your regular Joe. Would I know an explosive component if it was staring me in the face? No.

@airwhale @EUCommission The question is more who along the supply chain was compromised and how. It could well have been the shipping company, etc. But at some point, the shipment was intercepted. And, unless the entity at that point was itself compromised (eg., via employees) it’s valid to ask where the supply chain was compromised, how it was compromised, and whether or not any other parties were complicit and, if so, who they are.

@tromo Antisemitism, in the sense that it implies hate against Jewish people, is a very real thing. It simply does not equate to criticism of zionists or the (terrorist) state of Israel. I’m not here to bikeshed the minutiae of the word’s semantics and even less deny the existence of very real racism against Jewish people. If anything Israel’s concerted cooption of the word is what robs it of meaning and makes Jewish people everywhere less safe.

@Jyoti Yep, sadly, I have. Abject moral failure.

Did you hear about the terrorist attack?

It wasn’t a terrorist attack!

Oh, but I heard that-

Israel did it.

Oh, darn, I’m so sorry, my bad… goodness, I was almost antisemitic there for a moment.

No worries, honest mistake.

*whew!*

@Jyoti No, not nothing; even worse: praise and admiration.

In what world does indiscriminately detonating 3000 devices scattered across a civilian population not constitute plain. simple. state-sponsored terrorism?!

At what point do milquetoast hardcore-centrist western media outlets drop the "explosions were had, children were unalived" phrasing and call it for what it is??
