They already do restrict you from using lemmy by charging full Internet price for it, and allowing special free data plans for Facebook.

Net neutrality matters.

DMCA is broken, intellectual property is a scam.

It is an intimidation technique, though.

I've refrained from even acknowledging Palestinian peoples struggle in public to reduce risk of being tagged as a anti-fascist, or pro-terrorist.

Pentagon. The security agency of the country vetoing ceasefire agreement in the UN security council, in favour of Israel attacks.

Independently of whom, exactly?

Except lemmy specifically is AGPL and it's basically impossible to monetise as a startup because they can't close the source code.

Kbin too:

They'd have to create their own from scratch.

The eye is the fucking whole argument for the stupid creationism. The most complex piece of machinery in the human body and shit.

That man thinks he's god, to create similar functionality.

Has he fucking tried to keep his eyes open in fucking cold weather?

Why not just use humans eyes outside of earth's atmosphere?!

He's just so fucking stupid. Rich and stupid. The shit he spends his "hard earned" money would be so much better and efficient if spent controlled by mostly anyone else.

It is.

In our society people are acknowledged as human beings through consumption, and that need is hammered onto our heads by ads and beauty norms everywhere.

Belonging is a human need. Sometimes some cheap makeup is all it takes.

But also, the rich people are stealing from us in so much worse ways. A rich teen stealing from a rich corporation is kind of karmaeic, and really, even if she was caught, nothing significant would happen, whilst a poor girl doing the same would suffer a lot more.

Ergo, if you see something, no you didn't.

They need the content to be available for Google indexing reasons, it can only really be blocked through the client.

A smart enough backend system can access/crawl/index it, just like Google can. And then make it available to the public without the front end annoyance.

Any argument based on "us vs them" is flawed by default.

There's also strong opinions if open source instances should federate with closed source instances, for reasons of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Sources for confirmation are the IDF and IDF provided pictures. https://news.sky.com/story/its-important-to-separate-the-facts-from-speculation-what-we-actually-know-about-the-viral-report-of-beheaded-babies-in-israel-12982329

There's also reports that there are ai generated pictures trying to support these claims: https://www.samaa.tv/208732623-fact-check-ai-generated-burnt-baby-image-shared-amid-israel-hamas-war

Wars do include a lot of misinformation, and everything is just so quick. We have to dismiss first, and try to find the extraordinary evidence. I couldn't. You can't prove something doesn't exist, or something didn't happen.

Unfortunately nobody got time to read everything in detail. We skim through everything and try to come up with some sense out of it according to our world views.

Reddit is the web we built. And fuck u/spez decided to give it away for money.

I miss Aaron Swartz and the open web. Let's rebuilt it again, on better foundations!

A link of any specific comment, please?

As if the government wasn't controlled by probate lobbyists.

Blame goes to private interests being allowed to influence public decision makers, in my opinion. Infrastructure companies should not be for-profit companies.

If you want well articulated rage against the hp machines, do follow Louis Rossmann.

Right to repair matters!

I think as time goes on, I'd assume the recency boost would subside and the upvotes for the definitive answers should float back to the top.

Also, length is probably favoured as well, since so many top content isn't just 3 words.

Yes. One of my sources state that. You see I'm not cherry picking. I'm taking a variety of sources to try to make some sense of this shit show.

So. Fair. Beheading is particularly graphic violence. Is killing by bombing acceptable, then, because it's not a human killing another with their own hands, because there's indirection in between, through fighter planes and the explosives?

It should all be unacceptable, I believe we agree. I acknowledge the violence of this week's attack, but I also acknowledge the Israeli violence before and after this week's attack.

What's the objective way to look at this? Maybe is the onion's. https://www.theonion.com/the-onion-stands-with-israel-because-it-seems-like-yo-1850922505

I agree wholeheartedly. :)

My commentary was an observation about "us vs them" way of reasoning, only.

I'm happy for your lemmy karma success!

I migrated from obsidian to logseq and it's "alright".

I miss the clean md files from obsidian, but other than that, logseq is pretty powerful.

I also like notion, except its cloud based.

If its going away now, it isn't quite long enough...

What did you do about email?

It sparked from me wondering who's this "they" OP was referencing to. Pretty much impossible to pinpoint.

And then, I associated that with "us vs them" rhetoric lines. I didn't even accuse OP of anything.

I just wrote what that shower though made me think about. Maybe it was just another shower thought.

I like the diary format, and how the links between notes work. And the filtering and querying features. But mostly, I just keep notes for the days, and use checklists to capture future tasks, and then filter by "tasks only".

I also write drafts for work documents, but didn't figure how to tag them, or use much of the linking functionality there.

Chinese got the food and people logistics sorted, too.

Speed trains go bzzzz

Remember when you could download a car?

I think it will suck more for beehaw, and I think beehaw will start looking very toxic for everyone else in a future very close to us.

Paying customers attention is so fucking valuable. People pay for something, maybe if we add ads they will pay for more things!

And most people are surprisingly not bothered by ads. So... Just criminalise the people that are, and there you go, infinite money making machine.

Maybe it's about stopping the people from talking about Palestinian deaths, support 15yo pointy question asker, and shit on desantis?

Petrol cars go brrrrrr

After a while using duckduckgo for everything, my work browser was hooked to Google, and when I went to use it the results were shit, and the ads were just overwhelming. Reconfigured it to duckduckgo.

Life is better.

It sells itself as an "outliner". Which is bullet pointing everything. That's actually how I take notes.

I though about other ways to parse it, but I couldn't come up with anything.

It would be nice to have another mode for non full outliner documents, if you just want a markdown file, instead of an indexable list of blocks.

I definitely do. Wikipedia is amazing.

But. Unfortunately, everything is political: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-wikipedia-idUSN1642896020070816

My point wasn't even judging Wikipedia. I just think "us vs them" is a horrible framework for reasoning.

You got 1000 upvotes. At that scale everything is a political statement. 🎉
