Venia Silente

First of all, how do you even arrive to the conclusion

Sure, I can extrapolate from whatever the media shows, and we get access to many sides of the story (Gaza, Hamas, Al-Jazeera, etc), but in the end reality is the best empirical measure of itself. Israel government is still standing, the people have so far not revolted to assume direct control and stop the process of a literal genocide.

There’s a long and exhausting debate that can be had here, but I personally disagree strongly because this is the type of rhetoric and narratives that fascists spin, but turn it against who they paint as enemies.

Completely understandable, athough I disagree that the two things are linked That the rhetoric is misused is orthogonal with whether the observation itself holds true or not. I’m just not lying to myself about reality. If reality changes so that people are better, by all means I welcome it.

The atrocities committed are being orchestrated by the ruling capitalists and politicians in Israel, not the average worker

The average workers for Israel literally go on the news to yell how happy they are to have a chance to contribute to the atrocities.

Regardless of what you think about political systems, sometimes it’s just that people are inherently evil. As the US elections showed us.

Terf Island, Fourth Reich

Amazing call-outs!

Allow me to add “Hallucinated Nation” / “Consolation Prize Nation” / “Nazi Campsite” for Israel, feel free to choose one.

All that said, this would largely depend on whether Palestinian outbound internet goes from Israel as well, which might as well be the case Soon™ if it’s not already (the same way blocking the Fourth Reich would block Native American outbound internet). But at least it’s a starting point and raises awareness.

Consider:

On Linux, you’d only be fighting the Steam Launcher if things come to blows.

On Windows, you have to start fighting against the entire system, on day 1.

A guillotine is also an option.

1. Sell iphone
2. Buy Android
3. Install Minetest / Luanti.

Net positive from every angle.

It’s not new, it’s not unique, it’s not legally enforceable.

Has both a piracy and a privacy community, which is nice and probably leads to fun mishaps / mistypings. It’s pretty lean to federate to and fro as well, same with the UI.

Just about the only negative I can consider is their position pro AI, but I can live with that, the world is pretty close to the end anyway.

1. No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative. Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.
2. But each site already has their front page. See eg.: lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively if you meant “each software”, that’s more-or-less what join-lemmy.org is doing.
3. No but yes.
4. I’m not sure that leads to where you think it leads to. That would require authenticating users financially, for one, else it becomes a dark pattern magnet for suckpuppeting.
5. Mostly absolutely yes. I think I’ve seen it discussed a few times under “fediverse identity” or something like that.

As a former lemmeezen, RIP, F, it was a good trip, quite decent service, but now it’s time to spread out.

db0 is being nice so far, and I even got an account on my country’s lemmy.

AI is much like smoking (hey, it is killing the atmosphere! ). Even if a good writer uses it, the usage itseld can still cause harm for others.

Oh it’s for the correct sound distinction. Compare naïve vs naive (eg.: glaive).

I’d take it part of the problem is that publisher is quite a “unglorious” job to say somehow. Like, it’s difficult to make it look fancy or interesting enough that you’d take effort, time and resources from other things you could be doing - such as, ya know, writing the story you want to write - to have to do that.

Cute, but we all know the only way these writers are going to get what they want is if they part ways from their current publishers and start a coöperative.

The latter part makes sense to me tbh. Machines should not allowed to compete with humans (in creative endeavours) because it is an intrinsically unfair competition that further erodes the rights of those humans who are more vulnerable, in the circumstance that is opposite to the intent of having machines around in the first place. They are supposed to do our beast-of-burden work, not make it so that our only pending value to be extracted by capitalism is beast-of-burden work.

What I’m not sure I buy is the idea that the “countless works” generated by AI actually compete with the original, in particular if they are non-infringing. Let’s say I take the work of an author to train an AI on their style. The author writes exclusively noir; I instruct the AI to generate college drama in the same style. Are the new works competing? The author won’t offer me a college drama in the first place.

Just because a law exists, doesn’t make it good. Even getting good laws made these days in the first place often requires lobbying, under-the-table deals and such.

Or just look at ICE. Tell me exactly how are they not corrupt.

What’s corrupt about slavishly enforcing IP law for RIAA

You really typed that without even an ounce of self-awareness?
