Your height varies a surprising amount as your spinal column compresses - this seems to be more pronounced in tall people (not sure why - we don't have extra vertebrae).

As an example, measure your height in the morning and before you go to bed.

There's self-hosted LLMs, (e.g. Ollama), but for the purposes of this conversation, yeah - they're centrally hosted, compute intensive software services.

Neither Netanyahu or Hamas are backing down. I'm asking you why you're calling for Hamas to surrender to be killed and accelerate the genocide rather than calling for Israel to stop the genocide.

Calling it genocide isn't debatable if you use the UN or dictionary definition of the word rather than tying yourself in knots to blame the victims for not dying faster.

Unlike regular piracy, accessing "their" product hosted on their servers using their power and compute is pretty clearly theft. Morally correct theft that I wholeheartedly support, but theft nonetheless.

Tell me you haven't worked with servers without telling me you haven't worked with servers.

I'd argue that assuming they'd even get a passing mention is overly charitable - to your point, look at all the aid workers murdered outside that particular instance that got no reporting... and the fact that people need to be told that they've killed hundreds of aid workers and journalists - the most per day of any conflict in history initially.

Surrendering to those genociding your people so that they can genocide you more easily isn't a better solution.

Why are you blaming the victims of a genocide rather than calling for Israel to stop committing the genocide and surrender to the Hague? Israel are the ones with the actual ability to stop this, and they're the ones committing orders of magnitude more atrocities.

Think about the precedent that pulling down discussions wholesale because some inconsequential detail about them is wrong sets.

To summarise, Hamas is at fault because they're not surrendering to be killed, allowing Israel to mulch the Palestinians so fast that the international community miiight turn against them where the ongoing genocide and thousands of gleefully documented warcrimes haven't?

Does this seem like a reasonable assignment of blame or viable solution to the issue to you?

Lobbyists - famous for having no influence.

AIPAC money and geopolitical nonsense has the US actively assisting in a genocide as the media works overtime to earn their payday, spinning the bejesus out of the situation, doing massive political damage - because the US naturally wants Palestine genocided ^because ^^I ^^^dunno... ^^^^reasons.

...but Israel have no influence?

Difference is that a good number of Dem voters saw Biden's issues and understood it's a choice between those issues and a fascist that'll deal the death blow to the moribund US democracy. Trump voters are just cooked.

You get one - there isn't a third option, and abstaining is a win for the fascists.
