That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it's the nature of life to be hazardous—it's the stuff of living.

  • I would say the test of public discourse should have limits. For example "North Korea is a great place to live and their regime is a vanguard against western imperialism" should not be treated as spam/trolling. I would argue the same for "genocide of russian speakers in Donbas".

    But I digress. You are right in that we must have the opportunity to state facts about Gaza even if it means damning outcomes for the Israeli polity (i.e. factual recognition that Israel is a genocidal settler colonialiat state).

  • Fair point.

    I still don't think the Feddit administration (in the broad sense of the word) is Zionist, but I will admit that I could be wrong.

    For what it's worth I've always leaned on the side of the Palestinians, even before the russians invaded in 2014. I just think some caution is needed with using the term Zionist (especially when there is a solid chance of changing their views).

  • Unless these are new threads, I believe I've read through them.

    I am not convinced they are Zionist or whitewashing Israeli genocide (in the manner of tankie degenerates).

    I genuinely believe that it benefits no one to casually label people zionists.

    I will give you an example from my native country, Ukraine. After Hamas went on their stupid rampage, a lot of Ukrainians supported Israel (I don't understand this since the Israeli government is largely pro-russian). People even equated Hamas with the russians (e.g. mass organized killings of civilians).

    That being said, once they saw what Israel did in Gaza, many (not all) started taking a more critical look at their support for Israel.

    I am just saying, it's not good to label people when their views can be flexible and are sometimes driven by ignorance.

  • Taliban leader bans Wi-Fi in an Afghan province to 'prevent immorality'

  • Does this fellow have stock (ownership?) in local DSL providers? Or perhaps even dialup (I am assuming dialup is still a thing in parts of the country)?

  • Is that true though? Is it really a Zionist server?

    There are a lot of people who vaguely lean pro-Israel (but may be revaluating their position in light of recent news), who cannot be called Zionist.

    I just think words matter and one shouldn't debase the meaning of the world Zionists.

  • Stop Talking to Technology Executives Like They Have Anything to Say

    Jump

  • The gibberish from Altman is clearly done in bad faith.

    When defining AGI in negotiations with Microsoft, there was no faux-philosophy or other types of word salad. They defined anything that gave them $100B per annum in revenue as AGI, philosophy and technology be damned.

  • Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide

    Jump

  • Roblox said it is designed with “rigorous built in safety features” and is “continually innovating new safety features — over 100 this year alone — that protect our users and empower parents and caregivers with greater control and visibility.”

    The fact that they are framing it in this manner "100 features in this year alone" (what does this even mean?) suggests that they don't care.

  • Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency

    Jump

  • I don't think it's reasonable to assume that Yen is this naive.

    As a Proton subscriber not from the US (but who has lived in the US); I find it difficult to believe that anyone could seriously claim that any of the two major US political parties have any interest in real competition and anti-trust.

    One has to remember the Microsoft case from the 90s. I still don't understand what the "legal excuse" was for not breaking up Microsoft.

  • Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits: Users will now see seven-day metrics that track active visitors and contributions instead.

  • Subscriber count is also used in fields that cannot be sorted (e.g. when searching for a community for cross-posting).

  • Austin is the CEO of a spyware company, while these days it's not seen this way, it's not too far from being a leader of a criminal organization (in my humble opinion).

  • Why are people surprised that opensource products have trouble competing with big tech?

    Jump

  • I donate on a monthly basis to some open source projects I find really useful.

    I would argue it's a cultural thing. The internet has conditioned every to think in terms of nominally free, so it's difficult to get people to pitch in. There are also on-boarding issue, there is no standardized protocol for managing subscriptions/donations. The size of fees (in % terms) for small scale donations (e.g. $1 a month) are relatively high.

    We are likely going to have a major change in socio-political thinking (e.g. compare and contrast the world before WW1 and after WW2) before we get anywhere with this.

  • Does anyone use a VPN to subvert the Netflix household device fencing?

    Jump

  • Fair point. :)

    The only reason I mentioned this is I have multiple family members who have by this point learned how to stream via bittorrent and how to use rutracker.

  • Why not just use something like rutracker.org ?

    All the netflix releases are on there and vast majority of them can be streamed via bit torrent. Just select language defaults in your media player and you're good to go.
