Why not? Shame is good for bad behavior

I really struggle to see what leverage Hamas gains by fudging their numbers. It feels like a talking point to reduce the fatality count.

This number, half this number, quarter this number... the political reality is the same. Murmurs of condemnation while the US keeps the money pump going, Israel keeps commiting war crimes, and Palestine shrinks into nothing.

I agree, but it takes less than 10 min and is more impactful than lemmy posts

Such comic book understanding of hammas, essentially the closest thing Palestinians have to a government, and the sole force resisting genocide (albeit as rightwing theocrats).

Yet the humane alternatives will never bee humored by israel. Grant citizenship to all Palestinians, roll back illegal settlments designed to fragment the people and enstate a 2 state solution, really anything other than leveling civilian areas because there mightaybe could be a guy with a rocket. Apply that logic to any city and we would have flattened Manhattan by the 90s.

The average Palestinian is under 20 years old. This is one of the most powerful and right wing armies in the world making excises for killing children.

AKA ethnic cleansing. I'm sure they've considered it.

Yeah folks in crutical care at a hospital really have an option to act on the "leave your land and be a refugee elsewhere" message.

Ethnic cleansing or genocide, so kind to give a choice.

Hope you remember in 20 years you were posting genocide denial rhetoric in your free time and feel ashamed. Same points used un many other genocides.

Zero evidence, and portrays how little you know about the organization. Nice knee jerk against defending human rights though

FWIW getting one of those disc suitcases can hold hundreds of dvds without taking up much space at all. If you rip backups, you can store it somewhere out of the way without too much clutter. Plus it's a very stable backup for the digital files.

Imagine having the time and resources to be such a shit in this way. The main thing is don't be a transphobe, but then a substantial secondary thing is get a life.

Unfortunately we need more militantly anti-white-supremacy institutions to make a dent in the problem, and what we get is an occasional report acknowledging the issue and candle vigils to 'raise awareness'.

To be a bit more precise, Signal is against federation from two angles:

• Innovation: Signal values absolute control over the protocol so that they can more rapidly implement UX experiences scene in other modern messaging apps. It also eliminates malicious or outdated servers changing the UX between users. Ultimately folks won't blame the servers, they'll blame the app, and stop using it.
• No rope for users: They seem pretty confident that the Apple-style of software and UX is right— if a user can change stuff enough to break it, they will. For secure messaging, they'd rather users have fewer choices to be sure it is secure.

I find it funny that Lenin, love him or hate him, had the definitive take on The Economist 100 years ago.

They also have lesson plans if you wanted to teach others: https://sec.eff.org

Though I haven't seen a cryptoparty near me in ages :(

Instead of "people are too lazy", can we acknowledge how unnecessarily difficult it is to vote?

You dismiss gerrymandering, but we can't exactly vote in a district we're not a part of, or rely on convincing the biggest supporters to flip their politics.

Meanwhile, mostly targeting minorities, voting is made overly complex with people waiting for hours after work to be told they need a document or didn't register correctly.

No wonder only retirees in affluent areas vote, they're the only ones not jumping through hoops to do it. We need voting to be handled federally, with universal registration and mail in voting. Election day should be a holiday, and the polls should be open for a week.

THEN we can complain about people being too lazy.

And NYC is wildly over-policed.

I swear, some people have never met a societal problem they didn't want to throw a cop at. Meanwhile we have more cops and prisoners per Capita than most of the world, funny how that works...

Dangerous to think you're more media literate than you are.

1. Not linking a source

Very common for reports or scientific articles, where a sharable link is not readily available. Take it up with the city council who received the report being slow. The claims are sourced, and that source is credible, that's what matters.

1. "News website"

Aka, a website you don't know. Nola.com is a reputable local site, but that hardly matters here because the link is backing up a matter of public record— the previous FR ban was reversed.

1. Link to Twitter

It's funny, what representatives say publicly is indeed newsworthy. When such statements happen on Twitter, you link to Twitter. Shocking, I know.

1. Opinions

Maybe you haven't read a news article before, but providing the opinions of both sides of an issue is common practice, so that the reader has context and can consider their own position

removing 1000 of the 2640 billionaires in a single project would be the most blessed timeline

To be more precise it is anti-US-imperialism and hegemony, which itself is a fine sentiment but when you're willing to let any right wing dictator lead that fight you've really lost any credibility as a leftist.

Nuclear (+ renewables) powering walkable cities ftw.

Not even just for the climate, we'd probably cut asthma and a dozen cancer rates with the clean air.
