It's clear that the M3 MacBooks are noticably slower with 8GB or RAM than with 16GB for various tasks, though, including photo & video editing, and 3D rendering.
Sure, 8GB gets the job done but why are Apple selling "professional" grade laptops in this price range that clearly require additional memory to reach peak performance?
That's no justification for selling a >$1,000 MacBook Pro with only 8GB of RAM, though. It's specifically marketed as a professional-class machine.
True, albeit a very small minority.
British accents are non-rhotic, so really it should be "ga-ridge", not "gare-ridge".
I think they mean that it's non-partisan. The movie clearly is broadly political.
Also PairDrop. I tested a few of these sharing apps and found this one to be slightly better for reasons that I can no longer remember.
Because a significant number of people still interact with the desktop via mouse rather than keyboard shortcuts.
Hell, I use hot keys for most things but I still often prefer to quickly minimize a window with the cursor instead of reaching across the keyboard. The first thing I do with a vanilla Gnome installation is get Tweaks on there and restore window buttons.
Exactly what prompted me to comment, since the blog that sourced Al-Jazeera also added certain details that didn't seem based on anything like actual evidence. Although I admit it wasn't anything near as extreme as the IDF canibalizing babies.
If we must call out pro-Israel propaganda that makes outrageous, unsubstantiated claims like that, we must do the same for pro-Palestinian propaganda, regardless of how we personally feel about the conflict.
In that case, they would have used the present simple, "Hamas don't take hostages", but they didn't.
I think you simply misunderstood the original statement.
The temporal qualifier is inherent in the grammar of the statement. Perhaps you didn't notice it?
In English, the present perfect continuous has/hasn't been taking implies a frequent and repeated action since a fixed time in the past - in this case, presumably, the start of the current conflict until now.
Since Hamas only took civilian hostages on one occasion, i.e. October 7th, and not again since, it is not true to say that Hamas "has been taking hostages". They took hostages. Once.
Israel, on the other hand, have been taking Palestinian civilians captive, repeatedly, since October 7th. That's the difference.
I was also banned from worldnews@lemmy.ml and had comments removed for "Re-enforcing neo-liberal cultural hegemony" and "Believes in objectivity in media lmao".
My offense? Saying that a report sourced solely from an eye-witness account via Al-Jazeera regarding another massacre of civilians and aid workers in Gaza needed to be corroborated by further evidence before we regard it as hard fact. The irony is I'm very much pro-Palestinan.
According to the mods, however, that apparently means I have to throw all media literacy out of the window and blindly accept any anti-Israel claims without question.
Yup, same here. I've also used it to write shell scripts and figure out unique ways to configure my system that I would have been hard pushed to achieve via a web search. It's incredibly useful.
