The thing is, once car-centrism is established and normalized, it's so hard to explain to people what the real problem is. Clearly the kid did a stupid thing and ran into the road when it shouldn't. Clearly the driver had no bad intentions.
But somehow the thought never occurs to people that kids (and adults) will always be stupid and we shouldn't strive to make a world where nobody makes mistakes. We should strive to make a world where making mistakes doesn't kill you.
Look it really doesn't matter what some crazy people thought in 1580 or 1844. Trying to condemn the entire modern-day nation of Israel and its inhabitants is on par with calling all of Gaza terrorists.
I'm not saying Israel doesn't have deeply rooted colonialism nor that we shouldn't study its history, but making blanket judgements about entire peoples based on random historical nitpicks, is the weapon of the enemy.
You're not wrong but that's not quite decentralization, that's just not building a walled garden, but retaining the power to put up walls at any point. If most users are on BlueSky, then BlueSky retains the power. If they decide to end support of AT or to extend (break) it, they keep their user base while everything else is left in the dust.
This is why people are saying not to create an account on mastoson.social - it's getting too big. And mastodon.social is run by a non-profit, whereas BlueSky is a for-profit company. True decentralization and federation are against their interests.
There was some drama recently due to some moderation practices. feddit.org isn't quite zionist but they do have to comply with German law which is. I don't have the exact details unfortunately
Yep, if I'm not mistaken, your version has s = 4 + sqrt(2) which is approximately 4.70710678119. Very close to the ideal 4.67553009360455 !
