  • Andrew Cuomo Has Unmasked Himself as a Full-Blown Trumpist

    Jump

  • The NCY dems may have nominated him, but the national party has been absolutely lothe to accept him.

    Instead of backing their candidate, democrats have been undermining Mamdani with accusations of antisemitism.

    Hell, because of the success of Mamdani, the Minneapolis dems just rescinded their nomination for Fateh over some bullshit procedural objections and now they dont even have a candidate on the ticket.

    Their fingerprints are all over this.

  • Gavin Newsom is Not a Progressive

    Jump

  • Leadership will pick the least objectionable neolib to promote the shit out of, and they'll end up gambling - again - that voters care more about sticking it to Trump than achieving real relief from our capitalistic hellscape.

    Newsom's only redeeming qualoty is his ability to get under Trump's skin. Literally everything else is focus-group tested neo-liberalism.

    Early to be predicting anything but dems are fucked if Newsom is gonna be their guy.

  • Reposting these memes shows up on everyone's feed regardless of if they're subscribed or federated with .ml - i'm not speaking for 'everyone', only pointing out who your script is impacting, which is everyone in that subset.

    Not everyone has gotten banned on .ml.

  • Making the experience worse for everyone because you have a personal ideological disagreement with another instance is hardly what I'd consider a justified moral crusade, but it's easy enough to block reposts when they're coming from a single user, so you do you.

  • Sure, but:

    • That doesn't excuse not even attempting a first-blush attempt at authoring even just the title yourself

    and

    • Constantly reposing duplicates en-mass makes the experience way worse for those of us who don't have a personal vendetta against particular target lemmy instances and who haven't defederated with them out of spite or distaste

    do what you want but this is basically just petty vandalism

  • Sometimes I get the vague sense that I've already seen a post in my /all view, but I don't think i've ever seen them back to back like this. Not even the title is different

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson Says He Won't Hold Vote Calling on Trump to Release Epstein Files. Trump needs "space," Johnson says

    Jump

  • The more he runs away from this the more likely that nobody will believe whatever explanation he lands on to dismiss it. Even if there really isn't a list, and he really isn't on it, and they present some evidence that proves it conclusively, there's zero shot anyone will believe it.

    The conspiracy vibes are so strong that even reality couldn't kill them.

  • Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits

    Jump

  • A simple toggle, secured with a password would do it.

    Yea, that's the thing - I don't think it would 'do' it for legislators. Like you mentioned - it's not really about protecting children, but also the only way to enforce a law like this would be to log or register devices to specific people or children. This would essentially just shift the point of verification from the individual website to the point of sale of the phone or tablet. Verifying the age is the part that necessitates identification - the only thing a hardware-locked strategy does is centralizes that verification to a governing body instead of individual websites, but it still associates individuals with specific devices.

    I get why this might seem preferable, but the problem of online privacy still persists.

    Does the fediverse really have a civility problem and what can we do about it?

    Jump

  • I'm so tired of this civility meta.

    Lemmy is half as uncivilized as any other social media space I've ever been in, including reddit or Twitter. I think people are just confused by a lack of centralized authority to settle disputes on what is or isn't 'civil' behavior - but it certainly isn't the case that it's any less civil than just about any alternative.

    Maybe this places extra stress on instance admins for constantly addressing complaints of users on and off their server, but that has less to do with the kind of user civility people are talking about and more with a culture of mob justice evidenced by communities like MoG and PTB.

    People seem uncomfortable with multipolar systems, and maybe it's because of my political bent but I think distributed systems are way better.

    Jump

  • I don't think this is a good idea...

    This is even more invasive - it would mean all the traffic and activity in every device would be traceable to a registration. Whereas now they might have a pretty good lock on individual device ids, they'd then have an actual registry of devices and owners to verify it against

  • AGI Is Mathematically Impossible (3): Kolmogorov Complexity

    Jump

  • The very first comment:

    Unless you believe in magic, the human brain proves that human level general intelligence is possible in our physical universe, running on a system based on the laws of said physical universe. Given that, there's no particular reason to think that "what the brain does" OR a reasonably close approximation, can't be done on another "system based on the laws of our physical universe."

  • Jon Stewart Tears Apart Dems’ ‘Idiotic’ Project 2029 Plan

    Jump

  • It's actually, "the economic changes they made have no impact on me and instead seem targeted at minorities"

    Chalk it up to a half-century of reactionary "welfare queen" propaganda, the truth is that democrats aren't addressing the grievances of the working class and the Republicans are. Those grievances dont just go away if you stop talking about brown and trans people. Even if you're willing to throw them under the bus - those voters will just vote for the person actually running them over.

    Either democrats become as fascist as the Republicans, or they break through to those reactionary voters by proving that they're willing to break some billionare kneecaps and make life better for everyone, not just the most visibly impoverished.

    Democrats won't, though. They'll fight tooth and nail against the popular energy in their own base in order to keep their tenuous relationship with donors like Ackmann, and that will guarantee their loss.

  • Of course not, that's some commie shit.

    The refrain is more like, "the dems don't actually want to help us, they're just distracting us with performative outrage"

  • Why AOC should run for president in 2028

    Jump

  • It's been assumed that whoever the democratic nominee is will win since Adams is extremely unpopular and so is the republican party in NY generally

    Of course Cuomo running independent complicates it, and the democratic party not enthusiastically endorsing Mamdani certainly doesnt help. Then again, the party had a 30% approval rating last i checked, so maybe that actually helps....

    But he's the most popular debut candidate since AOC, so he still has a very good chance.

  • Department of Homeland Security announces $94 million in grants to protect Jewish organizations

    Jump

  • The lie was that only Palestinians have lived there for thousands of years.

    • that isn't what they said
    • i believe it was tongue-in-cheek

    Correction: the government of Israel

    Israel (the state) has always given special rights to ethnic Jews. It was founded *as an explicitly Jewish state. Jews have always been given a unique right to freely immigrate and gain citizenship, while limiting Palestinian's right to even return to their homes in Israel after having to flee. It isn't just about the current government - Israel has always been predicated on an ethno-religious immigration campaign. No other nation on the planet is as singularly-focused on the ethnic makeup of its population, to the point that they have an actual program to retrieve the reproductive material of soldiers who die in combat. Zionists will waste no time calling you antisemitic if you were to suggest that Israel should provide equal rights regardless of ethnic or religious identity, or suggest that Palestinians and Jews might live together on their shared ancestral land. It's that idea that Palestinians are so violent that they'd just "destroy all the Jews" if they were to ever be given equal status that is the wildly bigoted and racist one.

    This isn't some transient political movement unique to Netanyahu's government, it's been a principle feature of its mission since it's founding.

    They’re ethnically the same, brothers and sisters

  • The study you're referencing is looking at paternal lineage of Israelis born in Israel, not the ancestral lineage of all Israelis.

    A second-generation Israeli would be considered 'From Israel by paternal country of origin" in this census, because their paternal country of origin would be Israel.

    The bulk of immigration happened in the 1950's-1970's. The number of Israeli's who's ancestors lived in Israel before the establishment of the Israeli state isn't a known or studied figure a definitively answered question, but it's reasonable to assume that it's a minority given the large migrations that happened during and after the Nakba.

    The only real information we have regarding the make-up of Palestine before its partitioning are a couple of censuses done during the British occupation, but it was during a period of time when zionist jews were already beginning to migrate. Here's the topline:

    The census found a total population of 1,035,821 (1,033,314 excluding the numbers of H.M. Forces),[2] an increase of 36.8% since 1922, of which the Jewish population increased by 108.4%.[1]

    The population was divided by religion as follows: 759,717 Muslims, 174,610 Jews, 91,398 Christians, 9,148 Druzes, 350 Bahais, 182 Samaritans, and 421 reporting no religion.[3] A special problem was posed by the nomadic Bedouin of the south, who were reluctant to co-operate. Estimates of each tribe were made by officers of the district administration according to local observation. The total of 759,717 Muslims included 66,553 persons enumerated by that method.[4] The number of foreign British forces stationed in Palestine in 1931 totalled 2,500.[5]

  • Where's the lie? Have Palestinians not lived in the area for thousands of years or maintained a distinct culture, even while being occupied by other empires?
