  • Hamas claims responsibility for deadly Israel shooting attack
  • JoeKrogan JoeKrogan Now 100%

    Its a statement not support. They are resisting Israeli occupation. I'm not cheering for anyone to die and I don't agree with it. In the same vain indiscriminate bombing is wrong too and has killed thousands of innocents.

    To quote the article

    At least 41,689 people have been killed and 96,625 have been injured in Israel’s assault on Gaza, according to Palestinian authorities. At least 1,139 people were killed in the Hamas-led attacks, according to an Al Jazeera tally based on Israeli statistics, and around 250 others were seized as hostages.

    The death toll clearly skews to one side in a major way. What people here are saying is not that we support violence in any case, we do not, we are saying you can't be surprised when they fight back when you look at the numbers. Israel could have entered on the ground and fought enemy combatants with a much lower civilian death toll. They targeted civilians first.

    This is probably the only way left for them to have any form of resistance. Since the international community have largely failed them and with Daddy Yankee and the war machine in Israel's corner there is no chance of conventional war even if they had the numbers.

    These attacks create a culture of fear in everyday Israelis but if sustained it could possibly cause them to put pressure on their gov for a ceasefire and force Bibi out. Who knows, the whole situation is just tragic and has gone on for decades.

    Maybe some day our species will realize the futility of war.

    I still have an old yuzu installed but might gibe it a go with the latest firmware and see how ot goes. Unfortunately i didn't snag ryujinx on deck but at least grabbed the source from mirrors after the fact.

    Edit

    With firmware 18.1.0 and matching keys it works on steamdeck, the yuzu used is out of date by a few but its close enough to the final ea version floating around. Sound is fine on the rift areas and only issue so far is sometimes the rift can look weird in the villages but its a minor cosmetic issue. Made it through the first rift with no issues and probably explored a large chunk of the map. Not seeing any slowdowns.

  • Nintendo shuts down Switch emulator Ryujinx
  • JoeKrogan JoeKrogan Now 100%

    I think anyone still in the scene will want to lay low for a while and work in the shadows. Only releasing after a few years.

    I hope they dont go for dolphin or cemu claiming that certain games are in their e-shop for the switch 2 release.

    Either way I think we should start backing up emulators and their source and require files regularly as a fallback.

    I'll continue to block them as long as we can and then move on to something else if we can't. By paying you are just rewarding this exploitative behavior.

    If you simply must pay for something then donate it to a charity instead. These companies do not need your money.

    I was only able to play skate 3 so far with better performance than rpcs3. I didn't change any settings in the conf file. It is using the vulkan renderer. I limit the fps to 30, TPD to 8 and GPU to 1200. I'm trying a few games here and there to see but It can only improve over time.

    I came across this as I needed to install some proprietary app to view a .pkpass file and I discovered this FOSS app instead that does the job and doesnt share the data with any third parties. Anyway I'm just spreading the word. The text below is copied from fdroid. "Displays Passbook (*.pkpass) files & shows the Barcode (QR, PDF417 and AZTEC format). It can be used also when offline. This app is a viewer for passes - a pass could be a e.g. boarding-pass for your next flight, a coupon for a nice hot beverage on the destination, a movie ticket, a membership card - there are a lot of possibilities. Basically it is a replacement for a piece of paper or plastic you would normally have to carry with you - so lets save some trees and reduce waste! How does it work? There are so called espass or pkpass files - you can open them with this app - e.g. when you receive them via email or get an Download-option. The most important content is the BarCode ( QR , AZTEC & PDF417which authorizes you most of the time - but it also has other interesting content like a description - often a time ( that you now can add to your calendar ) - often also locations ( to give you directions ) - just try It out! The app is offline usable once you downloaded the pass!"

    In halo 2 the grunts side with the elites while the jackels side with the brutes and the prophets. Why then in halo 3 are the grunts fighting alongside the brutes and jackels ? I've been jumping between games recently and noticed it and I'm wondering was it ever addressed anywhere ?

    Irish MEPs across the political spectrum release joint statement calling for ceasefire in Gaza Irish MEPs from across a broad political spectrum this morning, Thursday 26 October, released a joint statement calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The statement echoes the recent resolution passed by Dáil Éireann, the position adopted by the Irish government, and the recent statements of the United Nations Secretary General, and urges the Council of the European Union to call for an immediate ceasefire, as well as urgent efforts to meet the humanitarian needs of people in Gaza, ahead of the Council meeting today. The statement was initiated and drafted by Independents 4 Change MEPs Mick Wallace (LEFT) and Clare Daly (LEFT), and is co-signed by MEPs from every political group with Irish representatives, namely: Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan (LEFT) Colm Markey (EPP), Chris MacManus (LEFT), Grace O’Sullivan (Greens/EFA), Ciarán Cuffe (Greens/EFA)and Billy Kelleher (Renew). In a press release, Mr Wallace said: We feel it is extremely important that as Irish MEPs we stand together and amplify calls for a ceasefire ahead of the European Council meeting today. Ireland is a neutral country with a proud history of peacekeeping and therefore we feel Ireland’s representatives in the European Parliament speak from a unique position. We must do everything we can to stop the slaughter, the death toll is well over 5,000 now. It is important to keep the pressure on for a constructive intervention from the EU in line with international law.” Ms Daly also said: "The Palestinian people need our urgent support and solidarity, which is why we have asked all the Irish MEPs to join us in calling for a ceasefire. Europe's leaders will meet today and tomorrow to discuss the conflict. The terms of their statement matter. There is talk of them calling only for a “humanitarian pause.” That is not the same thing as a ceasefire - it amounts to a temporary stop to the killing, after which it will continue. It is essential that we remind them that it is imperative that the conclusions of that meeting include a call for a ceasefire, and for urgent humanitarian assistance to Gaza.” The text of the statement is as follows: "With regard to the current situation in the Middle East and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Irish Members of the European Parliament, from across a broad spectrum of political groups, wish to echo the recent resolution passed by the Dáil; the position adopted by the Irish government; and the statements of the United Nations Secretary General, and therefore urge the Council of the European Union to call for an immediate ceasefire, as well as urgent efforts to meet the humanitarian needs of people in Gaza. We stress the universal applicability of international humanitarian law, its binding nature on all parties in all conflicts and remind the Council that indiscriminate warfare resulting in the killing of civilians cannot be justified - in any circumstances. Given the intensity of hostilities, and the enormous loss of life that has already occurred, we consider that calling for anything less than an immediate ceasefire would depart from the European Union’s responsibility to uphold international law, to protect human life, and to secure peace. Signed: Clare Daly Mick Wallace Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan Colm Markey Chris MacManus Grace O’Sullivan Billy Kelleher Ciarán Cuffe"

Weaving the history of apartheid into the complex issues facing Israelis and Palestinians, it highlights the frighteningly similar laws and tools used by Israel and apartheid-era South Africa. It's a dark picture of the present but offers hope based on the peace that South Africa eventually found.
