Could we please add a rule to ban musk spam?

  • Settle down mate.

    • Could we please add a rule to ban musk spam?

    Jump

  • Yeah but relevant to current tech events? Not that often.

    It's complicated I guess.

    Musk offering starlink access to gaza is tech news, him changing subscription prices for xitter is not.

    I guess I just mean that a happening is not "tech" by virtue of musk saying it.

  • The world is so much easier to reason about when an entire generation can be explained by a meme though.

    • 100,000 join London march against strikes on Gaza

    Jump

  • I'm not maintaining neutrality. I'm on the side that will condemn both Israel and Hamas for their shitty behavior. Don't do terrorism, don't do genocide.

    You and I both know that neither side is acting ethically nor morally. My government's (and probably your's) aligment with Israel is about power, politics, and economics, not ethics.

  • I can understand your frustration, but they need to generate revenue somehow, and presently I think it's the VPN, donations, and Google default search money.

    At least the VPN aligns with their core values.

  • I don't "support" gaza but I sure as fuck condemn israel.

    You don't have to pick sides people.

  • IDK how else it could work.

    Anyone who understands what a private window actually does, would expect it to work this way.

    • Palestinians plead ‘stop the bombs’ at UN meeting but Israel insists Hamas must be ‘obliterated’

    Jump

  • Yes Hamas are not nice people and would happily kill every Israeli, but that doesn't mean Israel should not exercise caution to avoid killing palestinians.

  • This is a really salient point.

    I get a lot of news from Australian Broadcasting Corp. Generally considered to be reasonably balanced.

    Just as a "random" example, this is the most recent article on the gaza conflict:

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-29/israel-says-war-with-hamas-enters-next-phase-in-gaza/103035732

    It's factual as in "this person said this, someone said that", but there's no mention very much of what Gaza's political leadership (yes, Hamas) has to say. By contrast, in the Ukraine conflict it was all about what Ukraine had to say but there were at least interjections of Russia's public statements.

    That said, they're not really pulling their punches, comparing death tolls et cetera.

    On Dec 22nd, just 3 days shy of Christmas, we may hear the delightful news that Trump is actually facing some consequences?

  • They really are.

    Every generation since the dawn of mankind thought that the world was about to end.

    Things are gonna get a bit shit in the coming decades - but really that's all the more reason to save some money.

  • This narrative sounds nice and makes me feel safe, it must be true.

  • I don't think there's consensus on the numbers you're quoting.

    • Honest question: what was Hamas' long-game with respect to kidnapping Israelis? Did they think Israel would just negotiate rather than retaliate?

    Jump

  • the expectation that everyone must pick a side

    Yeah, I've had some nauseating back and forth with several users who just can't seem to grasp the notion that criticising Israel does not mean you support Hamas.
