Tofigh Daru is owned by Iran’s largest pension fund, according to Iranian officials. “The company in question belongs to the nation’s retirees,” said top Iranian health official Mahdi Pirsalehi.

They are at war with people of Iran, have always been.

If America pulls out, what would happen to Israel?

Would they continue? Can they take on Iran alone and bring the regime change they keep promising?

Would the US just give them guns and ammunition to continue?

We know that if Israel wanted to take Iran solo, they would have already done that. This might blow up in Bibi’s face.

Once the war news slows down and then another Epstein news hits, won’t it come back but stronger?

The Epstein thing has lasted so long because it’s being drip fed into the news cycle, I honestly think they would have been better off if they just released it all at once.

Awesome stuff but here I am with my single mini PC that has Jellyfin and Immich wondering why I would need such a big setup.

At some point I realized that the more complex I make it, the more resources it needs and the more maintenance it needs so I only get things I think I really need.

You would think that they would distance themselves from shit like this for a few years but nah, they just double down.

Chances of the orange blowing bubba just got higher.

The hard part is, do we consider US a Russian and Israeli ally or a European ally.

it’s a trick question, they are the ally of all oligarchs.

Nice of them to be so inclusive /s

This is what find so infuriating.

Carney said he stands behind US… you mean the country that threatened to take over yours?

So spineless…

There is a decent possibility that he did it cause he was jelly of the protester crackdown.

Why does it have to involve the big powers for it to be a world war?

IMO that implies that less powerful countries being in chaos doesn’t matter.

I always thought world war just meant a lot of countries in a related conflict.

“Your the reason for unnecessary red circles” is actually a devastating insult.

“But we know the regime can no longer kill students on campus and call us terrorists … We are not afraid of losing our lives. We all are willing to put our lives on the line so at least the next generations of this country will live in freedom and peace.”

Very great to hear and gives me so much hope for the future.

Yeah… idk if this all holds anymore.

We’re in the mask off era and given how little is getting done even with what we know from the trump-Epstein files, how can anyone claim a video could compromise them?

I’m trying to imagine what kind of tape could result in actual consequences but I just can’t.

What about a system that works like torrents under the hood and every time you went to watch something you just download it with an expiry date?

You just need a metadata system like lemmy so people can find the videos, and once they decided to watch it, it downloads it for them via the torrent protocol.

The only disadvantage is that it won’t be streaming but let’s be honest, streaming isn’t a huge advantage for shorter clips + high bandwidth (which you need for streaming anyway).

You can also further optimize it by making each video cut into 5 min chunks so you can always download the first one and start watching sooner.

The only drawback, like others mentioned, is that it works best with a savvy user base instead of just spoon feeding you and giving you little control (which apparently people just love these days).

The ones who would be affected the most are those that aren’t even born yet.

So the headline is true in a dark kind of way

But but but, it has the word “my” in it

/s

Exactly, I’m glad more people are seeing it this way.

The goal of capital is to gain power and leverage, they don’t really care about some numbers.

It’s the dream of all tech companies to become a monopoly, they even say it with a straight face. They want as much control as possible? Why? So they can use the leverage for even more.

The beautiful/horrifying part is, the system weeds out any company that does not do this. The only way is for the end users to push back.

Honestly, ads would be tolerable or even pleasant if they were just a picture of the product and a few highlight points about it.

And they used to be, until marketing people learned from nazis that they could use propaganda to sell more than making a rational case for their item’s value.

Oh excellent, thanks for sharing.

You joke but this is why fascism isn’t sustainable. You always need a scapegoat and eventually your gonna run out of them as you make your population more and more uniform.
