Upvoted out of spite. Please don't ever say I want the approval of Lemmy users again. That's just beyond the pale, man. I can't think of anything more offensive than being called "spiritually Israeli". 90% of the things people downvote on here are perfectly fine and it's a puzzle to me to figure out what pissed people off. I think maybe they have really unhappy lives.

I just feel strongly that it is polite to volunteer the unwritten rules of social engagement to other people. I'm not some kind of internet law fetishist like these people. Your insult will never be forgiven...

Actually it's a pretty deeplt embedded human quality to tell other people to act right, read the room, familiarize themselves with context, otherwise they're gonna do it to thousands more unfortunate people. Pay it forward: tell people to shut up when they have nothing to say. It's not really a big deal, man. There are different social rules when we are in an aggregation space, as in trying to help each other cut the wheat from the chaff informationally, and what you're asking could just as easily be put into search. Since we're on the computer.

tl;dr Lemmy is for being a hater

There's always been a proportionate response.

We all get more out of the internet if we value each other's time.

Well don't let me overcomplicate it, but make sure you have a system for keeping track of potential projects! I use Org Mode and Orgzly Revived but I can't recommend it.

But anyways just saying to make sure that whatever you add to a project fits your needs and workflow! I've had enough trouble running a few simple websites.

Yes, these guys are just giving you the quick overview. The enemy is colonialism, which has transformed into the neocolonial financial system. This includes all the core countries like USA, Israel, Western Europe, Japan, Canada, South Korea, and Australia: together they control the world's banks, international legal bodies, high-tech manufacturing, as well as the academic and journalistic training and distribution systems.

So the problem is actually much deeper than a few bad sources. The most valuable fields of study have been twisted by capitalism or basically just destroyed. Just take a look at how they've been dealing with climate change. Just because dealing with negative externalities on a business or society level is unprofitable or political suicide, we've been treating it like it can't be mitigated by constraints on manufacturing, and new solutions can't be invented. The Guardian has been posting the same stupid crap about spraying sulfur into the atmosphere for decades, and until recently they pretended investing in green energy + vehicles + industry could never be made profitable.

Well, Mastodon seems designed to have people give up on it. Austere interface, short charlimit, no federation of reactions, no search bar. I hate it so much. I recommend one of the Misskey forks. It's more "modern" than any mainstream social media website now.

Al-Jazeera has repeatedly taken the opportunity to reframe the relationship between Israel and the rest of the imperial core as a domineering one. They have repeatedly undercut the resistance by painting them as the aggressors, "only making things worse" for the Palestinians. This only serves the US narrative.

Dawg, I am at my wit's end with online communism posting. Why are we taking Qatari news media at face value in the year of our lord 2025

Completely beside the point, but it looks like you are posting from Mastodon, which is commendable.

I have seen estimates as high as 680,000 and there's no reason to downplay it.

 

Trucking is looking very shaky lately. This is a bit old because I have been checked out of this focus area
