It calls for a ceasefire if Israeli hostages are released and for immediate aid to the people of Gaza. If the US starts off at A, support Israel unconditionally, and you start of at B, ceasefire now, and the US gets slowly pressured your way until ultimately, the US enters a resolution that is much closer to B than to A, you don't stomp your foot and say 'that's not B!' and reject it, if you really care about civilians in Gaza, who are starving right now, only in the hopes that in a few months time, the US might've fully moved over to B. When Israel has already invaded Rafah and many Gazans have starved.

Don't mind me, just leaving this UN news report on the vetoed resolution here: https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/03/1147856

The US-led draft, which took weeks to reach a vote, stated the "imperative" for “an immediate and sustained ceasefire to protect civilians on all sides”, facilitating “essential” aid delivery and supporting ongoing talks between Israel and Hamas militants to create a sustainable end to the hostilities, tied to the release of hostages.

The vetoed draft would have made imperative an immediate and sustained ceasefire in Gaza, with an “urgent need to expand the flow of humanitarian assistance” to all civilians and lifting “all barriers” to delivering aid

How exactly would've this bill 'not helped in any way'?

So in case you are wondering if Russia and China were caring about the people in Gaza, this vote shows that they are clearly not. They'd rather take this opportunity that would see the US taking the most confrontantional stance against Israel since the start of the invasion into Gaza, to dunk on the US.

That's a pretty meh solution. You need to sub to everything to populate your federated tab and then your federated tab becomes a tell of what you subbed to.

Gonna wait for a stable male.

So much data to infer from your music tastes. Listening to music about breakup? You had a breakup yourself. Listening to classical music? You're a top earner. Listening to Eminem? You like mom's spaghetti.

Are you of the opinion that people don't already use internet resources, libraries, interviews and other educational avenues to inform themselves? Many here seem to be needing an education on how to use Wikipedia responsively, they seem to think that one is unable to engage with a wikipedia article critically. I just checked the article for BP, as one of the blogs linked here claimed that over 44% of BP's wikipedia page was corporate speak. The 'controversies' section is one third to half the wikipedia page in length. As a jumping-off point for further study, it is perfectly adequate.

Of course no single site is perfect. Editors may always have ulterior motives. That is what the editing history is for. But with a federated wiki, the only thing you'll get is multiple different versions that all present their oen little "truths" and at that point you can just go back and search the entire internet for blogs, just like the website you sent me is a blog.

Which also means that marxist.wiki/article/communism will be completely different from libertarian.wiki/article/communism. I think I will take Wikipedia's attempt at impartiability over a "wikipedia" destined to just devolve into islands of "alternative facts"

You are underestimating, by a mile, the editorial effort that goes into fighting scam and spam, vandalism and lies. Wikipedia does have a support structure to do that, I doubt instance admins have the same kind of resources.

And it most likely will remain talk. Macron would help Ukraine more by helping to set up a robust military supply chain for Ukraine.

Or there could be a delay of one minute before posts get federated, giving the user the option to quickly delete a comment or post.

I read that rural voters often feel like the government isn't for them, they feel disempowered. And in response, they seek to undermine and break the system that disempowers them. They do not look to improve or change the system, they want to destroy it. So when people yell at them for threatening democracy by voting for a lunatic with dictator fantasies, they feel empowered.

That is one thing Lemmy is not good at: Protecting its users legally. No admin can be expected to hire a lawyer to fight off those companies.

I haven't seen anything from Hexbear since they defederated from us. Are they such a nuisance?

They're all fuckheads. Scholz doesn't want to send Taurus, but he wants to send more artillery munition. Macron only wants to send EU-made artillery munition, even though the european arms manufacturers are at the limit of their current artillery munition production capacity, but international stocks could be bought immediately.

Now Macron's talks about boots on the ground, even though he will never convince anyone else with that. He's bringing politics into a decision that should be made efficiently and quickly.

Between Scholz and Macron, both are disappointments, but Macron is the bigger burden to Ukranian aid right now.

For me it was installing games. The installer was still active, but the drive stayed silent? The installer was lying.
