I did not quote the post because it is in spanish.
In short: a guy argued that my country’s goverment is a dictatorship because expeled out the staff of an UN office that is supposed to work on human rights issues and in his opinion there are human rights violations. I replied that a dictatorship is defined by the means a group of people get and/or keep political power and stay in power against the will of majority. Democracy: power by people’s vote, otherwise could be a dictatorship. The violations of human rights does not define dictatorship and made this example: Israel’s goverment is legal and democratic but, in mi opinion, is commiting genocide against Palestine people, so violations of human rights does not equal dictatorship.
I guess that was the trigger, the guy freaked out and i Just stoped the argument, thought it was useless.
Achieving motivated people will always work hard no matter how rich they are, but if they are rich enough will work in what they like…that is not so bad, at the end the life is meant to live for, is not meant just to work for. And for those not achieving motivated, why not relax a bit and smell some flowers… Be happy, those who are happy working hard for the sake of acomplishment will be there…
“is likely used more in urban and coastal regions of the US and Hispanic is likely used more in rural and landlocked regions”, that is, “latino” is US based word, but it means almost nothing outside that country.
“Hamas is the governing body in gaza and must also be bound by international law.” Yes, they should be arrested and put under trail, like germans generals and officers after WWII, some of them were hanged. To do that there are other ways.
“They must be held accountable for their actions and the actions of their elected leaders.” who are they? even children? Their leaders are in other places, like Qatar, why not carpet bombing there?
That is not true, Israel is an state bound by international law, it must respect human rights, can not do this to anyone.
Hamas is not an state, can be considered a criminal organization and Israel state can fight it inside law limits. No state can, should not (in theory) carpet bombing civilians, killing thounsands of them, including children, in order to kill some hundreds of criminals.
Israel is an occupying state, palestinians has the right to rise against the Israel state.
And finally, why are IDF soldiers killing palestinians in Cisjordania?, Hamas is not there, the attacks did not not come from that place.
Once upon a time there was a company called Hewllet-Packard that made the best programmable calculators, vendors made the best demonstration: hitting the calc against the floor, picked up the pieces, assembled it and it worked again! (almost beat Texas Instrument). The same for printers, pcs, laptops, good mainframes (i learned fortran in a hp3000), almost any Hewlet-Packard electronic product was among the best. In 90s became HP, since then everything they made is a shame.
Remember “Neuromancer”? The CEO AI who crafted art work…🤪
There is a movie from 1992 with Robert Redford, “Sneakers”. It is about a team of hackers, in a scene they face a door with an unexpected smart lock and find the right strategy, just kick the f* door.
Some companies made money from some clueless managers and CEOs.
I worked at a big power and light company, some big boss at the headquarters hired a company to certify our pcs where y2k compliant (we already knew it they were ok!).
A guy around 50 with suit and two younger technicians, around their twentys. I was behind them when when they sat down at every pc in our office, inserted a floppy disk, and ran a freeware software! A freeware that anyone could download from internet.
Of course the software printed on the screen that those pc where y2k compliant.
That company charged a fee for every certified pc, and we had lots of pcs.
Guess they deserved it because were too subtle in naming.
I did not know that. Well, in that case there are few distros supported bye gov’s.
Was not Ubuntu the south África flavor?
At least three…¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There was a time when Hewlet Packard products were the best, them it became HP and…
Juan Vicente Gómez in Venezuela. Ruled 26 years. Lived and ruled without luxuries, hard worker, smart, could be cruel.
Just erased (really) that surveillance data, it will spare lots of memory for good goals. But they will go for more toys.
