Proudly Zionist publication, Haaretz, apparently makes Western outlets NYT and Guardian look like IDF mouthpieces

    I'm Lebanese so I'm just basing it off my own reading of English publications but they seem to be consistent in calling out abuses within the confines of Israeli society

  • Proudly Zionist publication, Haaretz, apparently makes Western outlets NYT and Guardian look like IDF mouthpieces
  • Sami Sami Now 100%

    Haaretz has consciencious people like Gideon Levy on its editorial board so it's generally more grounded than other Israeli sources.

  • What are some astroturfed or biased online spaces (ie. subreddits) that newcomers would not know about?
  • Sami Sami Now 83%

    Any popular posts that involve a minority/enemy of right wingers doing something bad or sticking out get brigaded. A blatant example is PublicFreakout where threads are usually fairly normal unless it's a black/arab/Indian person doing the antagonizing then pretty much all the top comments are dog or regular whistles. Similar "brigading" can happen even in a city subreddit similar to r/Canada even if they are regular users otherwise. If the post is good enough fodder the subreddit will suddenly resemble a klan meetup even if it's usually otherwise "normal".

    ActualPublicFreakout is an alternative that doesn't need brigading because it's already similar to WorldNews.

  • ELI5: Why is cheating in online games seemingly so prevelant?
  • Sami Sami Now 100%

    Yeah, like the other person also mentioned Counter Strike has had a major cheating problem for two decades and it's still pretty bad today. Valorant is a very similar type of game: twitch shooter that needs fine motor skills and reaction time where one player can dominate an entire match. Valorant has a more intrusive anti-cheat and a lower ratio of cheaters but both game still have cheaters and cheats. People will pay large monthly fees for access to premium, not-yet-detected cheats to compete in competitive circuits.

    What's distinct about twitch shooters is that the core gameplay is very simple (just click on everyone's head) but it can take thousands of hours to become really competitive at them. People who are not at the same level as their opponent may think they are cheating if they outskill them enough which leads to a feedback loop where new players feel like they need to cheat to be on equal footing because the other person HAS to be doing it too.

    Players with a lot of hours can usually tell if someone is cheating with relatively high accuracy (except at very high skill levels where the cheaters are also incredibly good at the game) but newer players tend to consistently call cheats on players that are just better at the game. Competitive drive, lack of trust in other players playing fair and high skill ceilings all create the demand for cheats which in turn creates lucrative opportunities for cheat developers.

    Ruining other people's fun is also another popular reason like you said but I would say most cheaters justify it to themselves in some way.

    Either it makes political sense for her to adopt her current position or it doesn't. You can't get voters on both sides of an issue but you can mark where you stand on it and have people vote accordingly.

    Not voting for a candidate who is tacitly supporting a genocide on that basis is not "doing bad things" no matter how much bad faith spin you try to add. The candidate has to earn the vote and that applies to non-voters too. Some people care about certain issues enough to abstain from voting on that basis and others vote strategically because its not a team sport. You just want validation for your own voting decision by implying those abstaining from voting are directly or indirectly responsible for your candidate's opponent winning which they are not. If Harris wins or loses it will be based on her and her party's policy and campaign decisions.

    Since being primarily concerned about the genocide is that unpopular of a position then why are you so concerned? If Harris made the decision that those voters are not as important to her then that's that. You can't have it both ways no matter how many self-righteous posts you make online.

  • Reddit Undeleted all my posts and comments
  • Sami Sami Now 93%

    Are you sure it was previously deleted stuff? I thought the same thing had happened to me but it was due to subreddits being private at the time of deletion then later coming out of private (some weeks or months later) preventing those then privated posts/comments from being deleted. I think running another automated tool again should do the trick at this point.

  • Activists prepare to defy Israel naval blockade of Gaza
  • Sami Sami Now 96%

    On May 31, 2010, the Gaza Freedom Flotilla comprising of the Mavi Marmara, Sfendoni, Challenger I, Eleftheri Mesogios, Gazza I and Defne Y vessels, departed with the aim of delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza but were confronted with an illegal raid and intervention by Israeli military forces. The vessels were only carrying humanitarian aid and aid workers. During this attack and in its aftermath, 10 humanitarian aid workers lost their lives and 56 were severely injured. Nine of the 10 were brutally killed during the attack, and the 10th victim died after spending a prolonged period in a coma

    **NOTE: Please backup your saves before attempting any of this as it involves modding your game files and that always poses a risk of data loss if things go wrong. Also, there may be some differences between original and remaster that I'll mention.** So the Knoxx DLC is notorious for being a driving simulator and BL1 DLC not having any fast travel stations except for the starting areas makes farming very tedious. Fortunately, there are ways around that on PC: **The "simple" way for Crawmerax and the Crimson Lance Armory** - Download the Essentials Mod by LegX Remaster/Enhanced version: https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlandsgotyenhanced/mods/7 Original version: https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlands/mods/34 - Extract the WillowGame folder into your installation directory with the same existing folder: eg. a default Steam install should be in `\Steam\steamapps\common\BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\` - Go to save data location eg. `\Documents\My games\Borderlands Game of the Year\WillowGame\Config` - Open WillowEngine.ini. Search for `DefaultGlobalsDefinitionName=gd_globals.General.Globals` - Replace it with `DefaultGlobalsDefinitionName=gd_globals_custom.General.Globals` - Launch game - Open Pause menu -> Options -> Mouse and Keyboard -> Keybindings -> Bind Fast travel to Craw/Knoxx Armory to whatever button ![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/5c5eb388-2e75-408e-af15-608b485f26d1.webp) Notes: If you travel with the bind and are done with the area make sure you save quit instead of just traveling to it again as that will not save your current progress\ Also binding Fast Travel UI lets you fast travel from anywhere which is a big QoL improvement. **The manual way for Ajax (and Craw/Knoxx if needed)** - Go to `\BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\CookedPC\DLC3\Maps` - Copy `dlc3_gondola_p.umap` - Go to `\BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\CookedPC\Maps\Arid` - Paste `dlc3_gondola_p.umap` - Rename `Arid_SkagGully_P.umap` to something like `Backup_Arid_SkagGully_P.umap` for safekeeping - Rename `dlc3_gondola_p.umap` to `Arid_SkagGully_P.umap` - Launch game - Fast travel to Skag Gully - You should spawn within 1 minute of Ajax as shown here ![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/dff62873-1c4e-4378-9251-dcab29ad1d00.webp) - For Lance Armory and Crawmerax Repeat with `dlc3_uberboss_p.umap` for Crawmerax and `dlc3_lancedepot_p.umap` for Armory which can also in found in `\BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\CookedPC\DLC3\Maps` Another map you can replace is 'Arid_Cave_P.umap' which corresponds to The Lost Cave. You can use any map as a replacement but those are just the ones I've used before. Note: the gondola file for Ajax may only work for the remaster or there may be a better one to use for the original if you search the large .umap files for yourself and try each one you might be able to find one that spawns you right in front of his area in the original version of BL1

    I've been looking at the current state of the GPU market since my RX 580 4GB is gonna be faced with 1440p soon and, while prices are still pretty bad, there's a few value options. This was to suit my own preference but I thought it might be useful for others with similar needs. No preference towards Nvidia and I only care about rasterization so not looking at extra functionality/features making the shortlist basically just the AMD 6000 series midrange. ![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/92d1e8da-0c74-46c8-b55b-efddf4f57b6a.webp) The standouts being the RX 6650 being the best overall value at ~$290 if you're fine with 8GB of VRAM and 6750 XT (or 6700 XT) for 12GB at ~$420 (these needing a good sale to reach that price). The relative performance is from benchmarks at 1440p Ultra settings where 4090 performance is the baseline of 100% which should be representative of the average usecase for these (1440p and mostly not CPU bound). There's nothing that offers 12GB under $380 (3060 12GB sacrifices some performance for 2GB of VRAM over the RX 6700) which is a shame in my opinion as 8GB is slowly becoming obsolete and has a good chance of shortening an otherwise serviceable card's lifespan. I included the RX 7700 on there because there have been leaks about it and while they say it will be above 500USD, there's always the chance that AMD stops giving up free market share and puts it out at a reasonable price instead of slashing its price significantly 2 weeks after launch like it did with the higher end model recently. It makes sense for it to release around the release of Starfield (which they're giving away with their current GPUs) so might be worth holding out for that if nothing else comes up. Otherwise, a sale on the 6750 XT seems like the best choice if you're willing to spend $420+tax on a GPU in terms of longevity and performance at 1440p.
