The Israel and Palestine situation is way too complicated to be left to "I support Israel." Support in what way? Their existence? Their military campaigns? Their government? Their settlements? Everything they've ever done ever?

Do you then oppose everything done by people from Palestine? Do you then oppose the existence of Palestine?

In my opinion it's not okay to leave your opinion as that simple. If that's all you've got your opinion is bad because it's simplistic, not because it supports a particular side.

I really can't see anything other than the stock price tanking immediately at the IPO. These people are getting in on the top floor.

I hear the Netherlands is pretty great, especially when it comes to town planning and transportation.

Entirely ignoring who is at burning man or why, I honestly think there needs to be a line somewhere for sympathy. If you truck yourself out into the desert and things go tits up, well, shit happens. That's the risk you took.

I say this as a person who used to ride motorcycles, rock climb, and go backpacking. If shit ever went down I wouldn't have expected any sympathy. I put myself in those risky situations, and there's just plain gotta be a line for personal responsibility.

With all that being said, when such a massive group of people continuely take the same risk over and over, it's kinda funny when they finally get bit. It's the same reason COVID denires getting COVID is funny.

You need to use your protests as recruiting grounds for more direct pressure on your government. You should establish or join a lobbying organization and recruit volunteers. You will have these people write letters to the editor, solicit for donations, call and write to your representatives, and schedule in-person meetings with government officials.

Standing on the street and yelling by itself is not enough, you need to become a part of the establishment to affect change, but you can grow your organization by finding people who have proven to be motivated. A protest is a great place for that sort of thing.

I just tried it with my swipe keyboard and the website didn't like it at all. It was double entering words randomly when I would otherwise type fine.

Honestly, I have no idea what mine is set to, and the average user won't either. Just messing with the settings is borderline power user stuff these days, when you factor in the general public. I did something with my settings the day I installed and I haven't looked back.

That being said, a lemmy sub for Firefox ain't exactly a representative sample of the general population.

That said, I got 34 wpm and 95% accuracy, which is in line with me using a qwerty or Dvorak physical keyboard. I ain't no Speedy Gonzalez.

Go ahead and reply to this comment so I have something to reply to myself, then I'll document the steps you need to reply directly to an inbox reply.

Thanks for proving fixed links to the both of you!

They somehow managed to force me to add my email. I don't remember how.

Okay good, I just wanted to double check that what was in my head was correct.

Right now if you want to reply from your inbox you long press on the empty space to the right of the person's username in order to get the action bar underneath to show up.

Yes, I know, it's a dumb UI bug/implementation, especially since it's inconsistent with the general thread behavior of the action bar, and the check box in the settings doesn't seem to impact its behavior.

Anyway, once you've got the action bar you can reply directly in your inbox with the little conversation bubble in the lower right. You can also go directly to the reply in the post using the link icon to the left-ish. You can mark the message as read using the other conversation looking icon somewhere in between the two I just referenced.

I'll come back in here and add screenshots in a second.

It really depends on how big your area is and what you mean by changing the climate. You can make your backyard way more pleasant by increasing the plant cover, which will drop temperatures in the summer and provide homes for bugs and animals if you do it right. Fifty acres might be enough for you to notice just a general cooler climate if you replaced mowed grass or farm with a dense forest. It would also help slow evaporation from the soil. But you're not gonna noticably change the amount of rain until you get into land areas comparable to a US state or maybe large city, unless you have very particular geography.

There's just something about Latin America that looks a certain kind of way.

Ah, my bad. I saw a game with complete shenanigans earlier so I thought that's just what anarchy chess was.

Lol, I'm just plain amazed at how fast some people can type. I am touch typing, but I guess I just got slow fingers!

Since two people replied, you get the screenshots and I'll edit in a link to the other explanation.

Mustard. Mustard. Mustard.

Ketchup and fries isn't even that good. Mustard and fries is where it's at.

If you consider not being able to switch phones at your own leisure an advantage, well.... eSIM has that going for it.
