The IDF and Shin Bet released on Saturday afternoon footage from investigations of two terrorists who infiltrated Israel on October 7 and provided further evidence of Hamas operatives using hospitals in the Gaza Strip to shield themselves from IDF strikes. During his interrogation, Amer Abu Awash, a member of Hamas's elite Nukhba force, was asked about the connection between hospitals in Gaza and the Palestinian enclave's vast system of subterranean tunnels, to which he responded, “most of them are hidden in the hospitals. (At) Shifa for example (the hospital), there are underground levels… Shifa is not small, it is a big place that can be used to hide things." Abu Awash is then asked by the interrogator about why Hamas was using medical institutions, such as hospitals and clinics, for protection, to which he answered, “you won’t strike them.” He explains that Hamas is taking advantage of the fact that Israel won’t strike hospitals to smuggle “explosives, weapons, food, medical equipment” for their operatives. “I told you, Shifa is a safe place, it will not be struck. To them it is safe, that’s what we know.” Abu Awash also expressed criticism of Hamas when asked about the fuel situation in Gaza. "First, they take care of their own cars and jeeps and then distribute them to the people. They refuel from full containers for themselves," he said. When questioned if Gazans have freedom of movement, he responded, "No. You can't go to Egypt without their (Hamas) permission." Hassan Zaarab told his interrogator that his a medic for the military wing of the organization, and that during the October 7 attack, he operated in Kibbutz Sufa near the Gaza border. He was then asked about Hamas’s use of hospitals, and replied that “the Shifa hospital, they’re using it, they’re hiding there.”

    Breakups are hard. I broke up with someone after 5+ years, and it took a long time to get over.

    The best advice I have is, don't wallow in it and find something else that interests you. Knitting, picking up climbing or cycling as a sport, redecorating your house, anything that gets you actively thinking about something else and spending time in a way that makes you feel fulfilled. Hell, even a new video game or mobile game.

  • Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed?

    That's interesting, I never thought this would be a feature that someone would want.

    For desktops, standby totally makes sense. But for a laptop that's meant to be carried around and runs on battery, I'm willing to bet in majority of use-cases, sleeping when closing the lid makes sense for the following reasons:

    1. Closing the lid usually means the user is packing it up and moving the laptop - in which case things like downloads won't be reliable if you're constantly moving out of wifi networks

    2. Again, if the user is moving the laptop, preserving battery life is important.

    3. Some laptops are designed so their airflow works best when open, so heat may be an issue. Not to mention you runt he risk of users putting it in their bag and then the laptop overheating.

    Of course its possible to detect when the laptop is plugged in vs not plugged in, but ultimately it just seems like your use-case is in the minority, so there isn't much support for it - anyone who's determined enough will find a way to disable sleep when the lid is closed like you did.

    one workaround is to perhaps set the screen to turn off after 5 minutes, and you can keep the laptop plugged in without closing the lid? The screen probably draws the most energy when idle - when you're plugged in I'm willing to bet the energy consumption of a laptop with its screen turned off is pretty minimal.

    i just blocked beehaw communities because i don't want to accidentally get into a discussion there. If they want to isolate themselves, that's fine, they can exist as their own little thing.

    "We want you to go back to spending 1-2 hours a day getting from point A to point B using a congested mode of transport so you can do work that could have been done at home. Wait why aren't people on board with this?"

    I cast my yes vote in another comment to avoid issues with counting votes, but... are the results of this consequential in any way? shitjustworks admins have already stated they don't really care. will they abide by the results of this, or will it they just release another "we hear you but too bad" statement?

    any time i see a weird gif reaction i just block.

    it gets repetitive, but that's the way it is for now.

    at some point i might just move away from shitjustworks to an instance that actually cares.
