As though that…justifies something?!

You started the bad faith argument. I was merely hoping you would self-reflect, and check yourself. Instead, you projected.

Fair point.

• Meanwhile, the right wing media sweeps it aside with inhumane, Onion-level headlines like “UN revises Gaza death toll, almost 50% less women and children killed than previously reported”. As though that…justifies something?!

Are you saying that when Hamas are caught lying it shouldn’t be reported?

Were you also outraged when Hamas said 500 Palestians were killed by IDF bombing AlAhli hospital and all the media outlets reported this as fact but the responsible ones later apologized and reported that was a blatant Hamas lie?

Should we never correct stories when the facts come to light?

Similarly there were no children killed by Hamas during October 7 despite some crazy Israeli guy lying in his “eyewitness” report (later debunked). I’m sure you were happy to have that be corrected.

I am happy for all of the above to be corrected without having to frame it as justification for atrocities.

There is no mention of the compensation amount to be paid to Grant.

Not even the linked order says (which I would have thought makes it a “reasons for decision” not an “order”). It says “The parties have now filed cross-motions for partial summary judgment.” So I guess it isn’t over yet?

Israel claims it has killed 17,000 militants, without providing evidence. It does not provide an estimate of civilians killed in Gaza.

And Hamas doesn’t provide an estimate of militants killed.

My point was about free apps going commercial (not about selling data).

Give FreeTube time to get bigger.

Open source cannot be commercialized.

Steam is commercial, Firefox received about a million dollars from Google to set it as the default search engine.

Wikipedia, Whirlpool, GiHub are the only big sites I can think of which resisted going commercial. They may still be selling user data though.

Can you think of others?

Sorry, I didn’t read the article. Thanks for picking me up on it.

I just use my Brave browser which avoids ads and doesn’t require login but I see now that FreeTube offers a few customisation features and allows you to import your subscriptions.

And there are privacy benefits too. With Freetube your watch history is stored only on your computer, not YouTube’s servers

Really? I imagine it is free because FreeTube collect data on you.

Isn’t this exactly like the original YouTube?

They get users to provide free content with the impression it is a genuine grassrots community then when the site becomes popular enough they cash in. imdb was like this too.

Die? Hyperbolic much? Gazans weren’t being killed in the weeks leading up to Oct 7.

I suggest Gazans could have used the aid money they were receiving for decades to build infrastructure rather than ripping up water pipes to build missiles.
