Socialception

Found the landlord / bootlicker

Yes.

Ally, not queer myself but I am continually disappointed "Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minorities" (GSRM) has not caught on.

I think it

• gets right to the heart of the issue

• already communicates intersectionality

• doesn't require new letters to keep being added

Ouch owie my bones

Who is "we" and why do they get to decide whether other countries exist?

Rebecca Watson is a longtime Poster going back to the blog days. Her feminism and sardonic wit has sent many a "nice guy" into fits of rage

TL;DR: Build quality was absolute shit and it literally shook itself apart on takeoff, killing 1 pilot and injuring 4 others

Have you used Firefox recently? There are a few chrome only sites but I've been daily driving it for a few months and it's mostly upside

The blasphemy is strong with this one

It's a reference to 1984

Ronald Reagan made one phone call and the Israelis immediately stopped bombarding Lebanon. The vassal state has to do whatever the fuck the US president wants. It's a complete joke to think otherwise. Joe Biden could go on TV right now and publicly withdraw support for the occupiers and their government and military would collapse overnight.

Since severing ties with Israel would only lead to more chaos in the region

Oh I'm sold. Do as much genocide as you want, as long as you are an implement of United States' resource extraction policy.

We would certainly prefer you didn't do the genocide, but loss of hegemony is what is truly unacceptable, that's a red line we won't cross.

Body

Total guess but I imagine the increase in relative humidity impacts the combustion efficiency of the engine as well

If you don't want to hear about billionaires, I invite you to try.... billionaire controlled media! You will find they are scarcely mentioned at all, except to glorify the accomplishments of individual billionaires, with no consideration of class structure or generational privilege

I definitely think queer is the only choice for a single broad word meant to convey EVERYTHING, and it's pretty much what we already all use when we don't want to say deep breath LGBTQIA+

Right!? I believe it has the hallmark repetitive blandness indicating AI wrote it (because oroboros)

It's not natively supported in Lemmy yet but lots of third party apps can. If you're on Android Sync and Connect both support it.

You're not wrong about the tankie thing, I'd say it's the major conflict in the "threadiverse" right now.

As you can see, I'm on lemmy.ml on this account. The moderation of the server is definitely weird. Since it is the flagship server there's more diversity of thought than you would expect.

If you want to avoid the tankie trolling and brigading the instances you want to block are lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net

And do you know how many American lives are being saved by letting Israel fight Iran as a proxy rather than letting it fall and having to deal with the headache afterwards?

Wow, what an argument. Look the other way and prop up the genocidal apartheid state because otherwise we might have to use blood in addition to treasure to defend imperial interests in the Middle East. Just...wow.

It's the same reason why the embargo of Cuba still exists.

What reason is that exactly?

I believe GP is being sarcastic friend

So...the US dollar is the world's "reserve currency". Most international trade is actually conducted in USD, and central banks have to hold billions of USD in reserve as part of their basic operations.

This gives the US two massive geopolitical advantages:

• Because central banks like to hold their reserves in US Treasury bonds (which are considered safe but also pay interest) it artificially lowers the interest rate on those bonds. It's estimated this saves the US hundreds of billions of dollars annually in borrowing costs.

• Unless you want to use literal truckloads of cash, the only way to obtain and hold USD is through the global dollar-denominated banking system, which itself MUST comply with US sanctions. In practice this means that the US can "sanction" individuals, companies and countries - and thus nearly freeze them out of global trade and finance.

I think it's best to see BRICS as a direct response to that reality. The more these countries trade with each other in their own currencies, the more they weaken "dollar supremacy".

Over time, (20 years?) I personally would predict that the effectiveness of the US sanctions will degrade to the point of irrelevance. You can already see this (IMO) in the "chip wars" and Huawei's "escape". I think the proportion of global trade denominated in dollars will steadily decline, and borrowing costs will start to normalize to the rest of the world, and possibly spike.

I'm a dev but not very good at mobile.

I can promise you that a lot of engineering work went into making the tiktok scrolling experience so smooth. Part of the trick is having a good enough algorithm that the user wants to watch the majority of served videos.

Another huge part of it is having lightning fast content distribution and aggressive "prefetching" of the next videos in the feed.

I don't want to discourage you but I also don't want you to be caught off guard by the difficulty. Do you want to make this bad enough to give it your nights and weekends for a year?

It's pretty standard to send keypresses to the backend before the user hits submit (otherwise search boxes couldn't do auto completion for example)

You could maybe write an extension that tries to detect the difference between this and a 'full submit' (and block those network requests) but I bet it would be very unreliable

You're welcome!

So if you didn't care about having to wait for the video to buffer on every scroll, it becomes an easier problem. I kind of think that defeats the purpose of a tiktok-style interface though.

I agree that you wouldn't necessarily need to build a new algorithm, but like I said, it's part of the smooth scrolling magic

Well probably because:

• Lemmy is explicitly a reddit clone
• The vast majority of lemmy users are recent emigres from Reddit
• Reddit is still much larger and more influential

There are actually anti-greenhouse gasses like SO₂ (of acid rain fame(!))

So both of

https://alexandrite.app/

https://vger.app

are alternative web front ends to lemmy. The former is more desktop oriented. I don't think Voyager supports it yet but they update at a breakneck pace.

It looks like this is the closest thing to what you are looking for.

No risk, no reward

"According to our simulations that we ran for ourselves, very bad things will happen if we are not in charge. Therefore anything we do to maintain hegemony is justified."

Forgive me for sleeping on some sort of Orson Scott Card geopolitics fantasy, based on assumptions that other countries will be just as imperialistic as the USA. I'm much more concerned about the current ongoing genocide of the Palestinians that has continued for over 50 years.

Ok, deal, let's do that and find out

I found this in the wastelands of Google: https://www.howtogeek.com/linux-distributions-to-breathe-new-life-into-old-hardware/

I read the guide and it seems pretty solid.

If it is not x86 is it the Itanium ISA?

So are we doing pickles now on Lemmy?

Hello fellow traveler, have you heard of the federated Instagram alternative called Pixelfed? This crowd would probably be more likely to follow/boost you on there

"Performance talent doesn't exist, also: Ayn Rand"

I wouldn't personally go with "Jewish Money" as the terminology...😬

That aside, certainly the effect of AIPAC and friends is a part of the pathology. That doesn't change the fact that Joe Biden could end the genocide anytime he wanted. The Zionist entity cannot survive without US hard power backing.

You seriously think the Israeli state could survive a loss of US support? They are just as much a vassal as they were then, if not more. They are completely isolated on the world stage and surrounded by geopolitical rivals. Their society is crumbling as we speak. Without the US playing defense, the international community would have come down on Israel decades ago. Do you remember how much they freaked out when Joe Biden kinda sorta hinted that he might possibly not send them all the bombs they wanted?

It's possible your posts could get boosted by new/all sorters and make it to hot/all even with no subscribers, but I would recommend trying to advertise the community and get subs first to improve your odds of growing your audience
