Few Good Options as Israel Weighs a Ground Assault on the Gaza Strip
  • I guess they just have huge numbers available also due to the fact that almost all women and men are in the military service and hence reservists

    UK passes "online safety" bill making end-to-end encryption impossible
  • Haha yes definitely something to follow. I'm looking forward to lists of companies that left UK because of this (as announced) and lists of companies that stay and thus prove that their end-to-end encryption isn't a real one

    UK passes "online safety" bill making end-to-end encryption impossible
  • Haha yes also incredibly that they had to point out this sentence "Tech companies have said scanning messages and end-to-end encryption are fundamentally incompatible."

    Very astonishing how there are some fundamental lacks of understanding from politicians advertising this. Or all on purpose

    www.theguardian.com YouTube suspends Russell Brand’s revenues from his channel

    Google-owned company says move is due to it ‘violating our creator responsibility policy’

    I was reading about the allegations against Russell Brand and couldn't help but wonder how it works legally that his revenue can be blocked based on allegations and before any juridical ruling.

    Don't get me wrong I don't know much about the guy and what he did or didn't do and agree that anyone should be punished according to their crimes.

    But how is this possible with the principal of innocent until proven guilty? I'd be happy if someone could explain me.

    Amid abaya ban, French school sends girl home for wearing kimono: Lawyer
  • Are you talking about American schools?

    If you are : dresscodes in schools are not as wide spread in Europe as they are in the US.

    But in any case the article cites the reasoning behind sending the student home. And it was because of supposedly religious affiliate clothing.

  • Hello and thanks for the great work on connect.

    Just some feedback for gifs in connect. I use the latest version 1.0.141 on android.

    There seems to be an issue regarding data consumption. I realized that the app uses huge amount of data when playing gifs. So I tested and an embedded gif that was consuming almost 200mb in the app actually only consumes 40mb when played in Firefox on the original hosting website.

    Also the app is quite huge with 0.9 gb on the phone storage. Is this normal? This seems to be alot for an app thats probably doesn't have to cache much data.

    It would be awesome if you could have a look into this.

    Many thanks

    ... Edit: spelling

    Conservatives picking what they like from the Bible and ignoring social parts of Jesus preaching

    https:// www.npr.org /2023/08/08/1192663920/southern-baptist-convention-donald-trump-christianity

    Quote from the article:

    "It was the result of having multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — "turn the other cheek" — [and] to have someone come up after to say, "Where did you get those liberal talking points?" And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, "I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ," the response would not be, "I apologize." The response would be, "Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak." And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis."
