  • Then you are quite obtuse, unintentionally or not.

    The insinuation is that he supports Hamas, and therefore is a target of the Israeli government’s supply-chain terror attack. Therefore the hope that “his beeper doesn’t go off” is meant to be a slight against his choice to support Palestinians.

    The fucked up parts are as follows:

    1. assumption that all supporters of Palestinians are supporters of Hamas and/or their actions on October 7th, and therefore any criticism of Israel’s actions is an explicit antisemitic attack on Judaism itself
    2. Assertion that Israel was right and just to target Hezbollah operatives with the pager attack, even though it was reckless (and in fact killed and maimed innocents, and committed an act of war away from any battlefield)
    3. Flippantly dismissing a person by basically saying “you’re next”; by basically saying “for your opinion, a foreign government should sneak a bomb into your personal electronics and explode your family at home, better hope it doesn’t happen”

    And don’t you dare try to say that takes it too far, because that’s exactly what that “joke” implies. What else COULD it mean? Only mental gymnastics could attempt to explain it away.

    I wish instead of complaining to people that they didn’t read the docs or whatever that linux devs would scour the internet for these criticisms (like when specifics are provided) and then develop solutions for them.

    Yeah, people are shitting on your product because it’s not obvious. Make it more obvious!

    (Thankfully this is starting to happen…)





  • I just threw away a Frigidaire window unit that looked really cool but it barely worked after 2 years and they just deleted it from their smart control app - like straight up removed it as I was using it and was like “oh so sorry not supported anymore!”

    I own a microwave by them and I am looking to replace it now, even though it works reasonably well. Fuck Frigidaire right in their stupid fucking asses.
