I would say the test of public discourse should have limits. For example “North Korea is a great place to live and their regime is a vanguard against western imperialism” should not be treated as spam/trolling. I would argue the same for “genocide of russian speakers in Donbas”.

But I digress. You are right in that we must have the opportunity to state facts about Gaza even if it means damning outcomes for the Israeli polity (i.e. factual recognition that Israel is a genocidal settler colonialiat state).

Fair point.

I still don’t think the Feddit administration (in the broad sense of the word) is Zionist, but I will admit that I could be wrong.

For what it’s worth I’ve always leaned on the side of the Palestinians, even before the russians invaded in 2014. I just think some caution is needed with using the term Zionist (especially when there is a solid chance of changing their views).

Unless these are new threads, I believe I’ve read through them.

I am not convinced they are Zionist or whitewashing Israeli genocide (in the manner of tankie degenerates).

I genuinely believe that it benefits no one to casually label people zionists.

I will give you an example from my native country, Ukraine. After Hamas went on their stupid rampage, a lot of Ukrainians supported Israel (I don’t understand this since the Israeli government is largely pro-russian). People even equated Hamas with the russians (e.g. mass organized killings of civilians).

That being said, once they saw what Israel did in Gaza, many (not all) started taking a more critical look at their support for Israel.

I am just saying, it’s not good to label people when their views can be flexible and are sometimes driven by ignorance.

Does this fellow have stock (ownership?) in local DSL providers? Or perhaps even dialup (I am assuming dialup is still a thing in parts of the country)?

Is that true though? Is it really a Zionist server?

There are a lot of people who vaguely lean pro-Israel (but may be revaluating their position in light of recent news), who cannot be called Zionist.

I just think words matter and one shouldn’t debase the meaning of the world Zionists.

The gibberish from Altman is clearly done in bad faith.

When defining AGI in negotiations with Microsoft, there was no faux-philosophy or other types of word salad. They defined anything that gave them $100B per annum in revenue as AGI, philosophy and technology be damned.

I am assuming this was meant to be posted in a different community? Or did OP decide to get some feedback by posting to the largest community they could find?

Roblox said it is designed with “rigorous built in safety features” and is “continually innovating new safety features — over 100 this year alone — that protect our users and empower parents and caregivers with greater control and visibility.”

The fact that they are framing it in this manner “100 features in this year alone” (what does this even mean?) suggests that they don’t care.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume that Yen is this naive.

As a Proton subscriber not from the US (but who has lived in the US); I find it difficult to believe that anyone could seriously claim that any of the two major US political parties have any interest in real competition and anti-trust.

One has to remember the Microsoft case from the 90s. I still don’t understand what the “legal excuse” was for not breaking up Microsoft.

Subscriber count is also used in fields that cannot be sorted (e.g. when searching for a community for cross-posting).

This is an issue with Lemmy too. Searching for a community by keyword ranks the results list by subscribers not by MAUs

Austin is the CEO of a spyware company, while these days it’s not seen this way, it’s not too far from being a leader of a criminal organization (in my humble opinion).

Are you being sarcastic?

Monopoly money using image generation ML tech for the design. Special partnership with HP for printing these notes.

That’s the first thing that came to mind.

Some sort of scheme.

I am curious how they are planning to ban Mastodon. I am assuming they are going to block say the top 25 instances?

Fair point. :)

The only reason I mentioned this is I have multiple family members who have by this point learned how to stream via bittorrent and how to use rutracker.

Why not just use something like rutracker.org ?

All the netflix releases are on there and vast majority of them can be streamed via bit torrent. Just select language defaults in your media player and you’re good to go.

I would have never thought of that linguistic flow. :)

What does seppo mean and in which language? It doesn’t mean anything in the languages I know.
