I don’t know how to confirm this myself but I have read and heard that before anything else, after it was known Hamas fighters were inside Israeli territory, the IDF first move militarily was to start bombing Gaza. No one can argue honestly that the IDF defends Israelis - its literally just the most reactionary of religious Zionists that they serve.

Secular Jewish Israelis? Nah they can fend for themselves for a few hours, we’ve gotta attack Palestinian civilians, says the IDF. And that’s not even bringing up that 20% of Israeli citizens ARE ARABS, some of whom were also attacked in their homes in Southern Israel 10 days ago, but of course the same people calling Hamas human animals will go after them next (not to suggest they aren’t already, only that Gazans face more immediate extermination).

The impression I had gotten from interviews (Al Jazeera, the Guardian, Haaretz) was that Israeli civilian police were there and exchanged fire with Hamas but that it was HOURS before they came across any IDF personnel. I’ve been focusing on this less as the time goes on and the catastrophic situation in Gaza gets worse and worse, so maybe further sources have come out regarding the Nova Festival.

Regardless I would like to see consequences to the people who authorized a festival so close to Gaza in the first place…

Earlier this week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken deleted and replaced a post on X, the former Twitter, in which he mentioned Turkey’s calls for a ceasefire

God, they even KNOW what’s right and then scramble to make themselves wrong

Hope these are accurate! PiS’s actions towards democracy and free press are sickening

Damn right when the premium plan is going up (at least in my country)

Yes, let’s escalate the conflict further, surely this will save lives!

Invading Russia = making political inroads into their historical sphere of influence. The “existential” threat to Russia is that it loses its historic colonial outposts.

I haven’t had anything remotely like this when sticking to my subscribed communities.

Literally doing Gods work with comments like these. Thanks for the context and insight.

I had the same dire thought, but this comment really made me take a breath.

Hahaha epic

yeah same, only like half of the videos load or play.

Thing is, if this continues to be a problem and if the userbase/admins of instances are organised, we can shift those priorities. They may not have envisioned this being a problem with the work they decided to work on for the next several months. Truly, the solution is to get more developers involved so that more can happen at once.

And of course, the materials that go into solar panels and other renewable tech (lithium ion batteries) also appear out of thin air and isn’t extracted in environmentally degrading ways…

Well duh? Are they nationalizing all carbon emitting industries to begin a managed decline of the industry or are they hoping economic magic and wishful thinking will work?

American Evangelicals and Middle Eastern Islamists continue to align it seems

“You know, now that this asshole mentions it, maybe we shouldn’t host stuff from these piracy communities as Lemmy’s largest instance. That might create problems for us down the road.”

I’m almost certain that’s what actually went down, but I’m explicitly referring to the issue of people’s perception.

Almost all of us end up creating a home system that works for the least tech-savvy in the home.

That’s where I started, as a kid still at home in the 2010s. I used plex, I’ve been getting progressively more frustrated with it, but not sure how I’d switch to something else.

I genuinely think that the best remedy to this is to give SAG and the WGA everything they want in negotiations. It would fundamentally alter the economics of streaming if they are subject to the same sort of residuals and writer’s room requirements as traditional media.

If the media corporations have their way, they’re gonna break the strike by outlasting them until they “start losing their homes” from being out of work for so long that they’re forced to acquiesce. Then we’re gonna really get awful content as no one will be able to take any significant risks to write a weird TV pilot or make a unique movie.

Honestly kinda legendary
