While profitability is key, revenue are actually extremely important. Case in point; many of the American tech companies that initially focus on scale/market share to the detriment of all other indicators.
For you this is all theoretical. My priority is dealing with the russian invasion and that is why I support increasing the costs for collaborators.
That doesn't mean I support torture or targeting civilians even if the overwhelming majority of russian civilians are committed genocidal imperialists and generally lack humanity.
But you are welcome to believe whatever you want. Just sharing a different perspective.
While I agree with you that as Ukrainian law stands today that would not be viable, I don't see how I am being unethical.
Portniv knowingly (in a premeditated and genuine manner) contributed to mass killing and torture of Ukrainians at the hands of the russians (not to mention the mass scale destruction and life disruption for 10s of millions). Requiring community for a few decades is not a breach of ethics in any way.
Portnov was a piece of shit. Russian collaborator.
I would rather he was extradited, all his assets seized and he would be required to do several decades community service work (live-in janitor in a hospice centre or de-mining work, community service work in Chernobyl would work too).
Depends what you mean by NATO is no more. I can even imagine some scenarios where the end of NATO might make it less likely that they would invade. It all depends on the context.
My general point was that commentators in the west (and politicians and even the local) often treat russia as they want to see it, not how it is (i.e. based on historical fact and decades of quantitative and qualitative research on society in the current iteration of the russian empire).
That's a good point. I guess I just wish there was more pushback within the Israel (there is some, but I get the impression it's a tiny tiny minority).
The contrast between their coverage of Gaza and their embrace of russian imperialism (with the typical "I oppose the invasion but ... NATO, Nazis, bla bla) makes it difficult for me to take them seriously.
Israel is still a democracy. A flawed and increasingly failing democracy, but they are not (yet?) on the level of russia. Which for me makes their behaviour more puzzling.
I live in Ukraine and we have our own massive problems to deal with (that take up an enormous amount of mental energy), but it pains me to see the mass killings in Gaza.
I am increasingly finding it difficult to see how the Israeli colonial regime is any better than the russians (putin is a mere symptom of the broad support for genocidal imperialism in russian society).
P.S. I will add it's annoying (in a base, reflexive sense) to see this from MiddleEastEye, they are huge supporters of russian imperialism.
IIRC, when the URL (on the Mastodon side) is the first line, it pushes a text URL as the heading in Lemmy.
Image attachments work too, if you're only using images.
The issue is you can't have a Lemmy URL, a text heading and a custom thumbnail image in a single post.
This creates problems if you have both a Lemmy community and a Mastodon account and you want post only from the Mastodon account (with the post also going to Lemmy).
I spent a lot of time experimenting with this and I couldn't find a good solution. I stick to posting to Lemmy and Mastodon using separate accounts.
Where the fields in a Lemmy post (heading/URL/Thumbnail URL) are inputted correctly from a Mastodon post. URL is not even possible unless it's part of the body.
