Please explain like I'm living under a rock. I would have to guess what each sentence might mean. What makes you concerned?

there’s no reason to copy/paste anything

I find it very convenient to read articles without having to leave Lemmy. The reasons for this:

• Here, I'm used to the page layout, fonts and colors. I'm accustomed to it and can instantly tell what the content is and where it is on the page. When visiting a new website, these are uncertainties. Sadly, many websites employ dark design schemes which make it a pain.
• I don't have to deal with ads, adblock disable requests, cookies, and so on when I don't visit another website
• It's easier and faster to stay on Lemmy than to right-click, select to open in new tab, switch to that tab.

For these reasons, I always appreciate when someone pulls the whole article, or even parts of it, into Lemmy. I also believe these reasons are shared by many others, which means it makes a more informed comment section when more of the article is readily available.

From the sound of it, I guess you're declaring these rules for legal reasons. I can't change anything about that.

I just wanted to clarify that there are good reasons why many people are happy to avoid opening external sites if possible.

But I wouldn’t kill people to achieve that, so I think my endgame isn’t gonna happen

Yes, since both other sides have extremists which aren't happy with any compromise. On both sides, they are in the government. On both sides, they are willing to kill for it, even seeing it as their religious duty. So if you're unwilling to kill and prefer another scenario, you will most definitely not get it and maybe get killed in the process. The region might have reached it's nash equilibrium in constant war.

Oh, the list was generated by Bing AI? Then it's likely it contains untrue statements; hallucinations.

For this reason, you should fact check the output with independent sources and/or mention it was generated using a LLM.

Sometimes the model adds a source but quotes something which the source does not say. Cannot trust these.

Make a comment with your conclusion and how you arrived at it.

If applicable, report the post.

Thanks, nice to know. Also subbed to !ecosia@mander.xyz, didn't know that exists.

That's like post #10 I see from random users proposing we should somehow run ads or whatever to finance big instances.

I haven't seen a single statement going in that direction from big instances themselves. None of those posts referred to anything.

Is it just overconcerned people worrying about things which are not their problem? I assume people who can run a big instance would notice if they are getting into financial troubles. As long as they don't speak up, I would conclude we don't have to worry. The current model (whatever it is) seems to work well enough. Did they ask for advice, do they need advice?

Maybe it's that people are so used to being forced to see ads and pay half their wage for insulin that they cannot imagine nice things exist.

I think we should try to keep it nice, and not revert to capitalist enshittification prematurely, without any necessity.

We currently have more than 1000 instances on Lemmy. Maybe some do run ads, who knows. You can join them if you like, or host your own.

Show the problem exists which you try to solve. Point to instances who struggle financially, who consider running ads, something like that.

That could be something. Give they any reason, point to any evidence? I'd like to see how they come to their conclusion.

See, that's where the systemic delays come in handy. No seriously, it's a joke.

Experiences like these also leave me with a constant feeling of fear and uncertainty.

On the other hand, I can imagine there are circumstances when a short-notice rescheduling is physically necessary. Or very helpful, if it can prevent delays and missed connections for 5 other trains.

I try to use the DB App and refresh it every minute while on my way to the station, to not miss any irregularity. I try to only feel safe (for the moment) when I'm in the train, be on constant alert before. Not sure why it has to be such an adventure, but here we are.

The pressure is all over these comment sections. Not this one in particular.

It's not a random coincidence. Islam, like Christianity, has plenty of calls to violence in scripture and culture.

For example, see article 7 of the Hamas founding charter:

"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).

Other terror organizations like Boko Haram and Al Quaeda similarly quote other parts from the Quran. Because they can, because it's there.

So for your analogy to work, we would have to assume "America" has some inherently violent parts at it's core. Which it probably does.

In a true "Religion of Peace", extremists would have to invent things, not bend things, to justify violence.

Obligatory disclaimer, the overwhelming majority of Muslims (and Christians) are peaceful, decent people.

A counter example: X initiates violence. Y steps in to end this, and partially succeeds. X wants to continue. Y oppresses X to prevent it.

Not saying that resembles the Israel-Hamas conflict, just that the logic is a bit flawed. In most random street violence situations, the oppressed in the end was the person who initiated the violence.

got moved to another station a mere fifteen minutes prior to departure.

I hate these! Once we were so busy saying good bye that we didn't notice the reschedule in the last 8 minutes or so. Missed the train, wait 1h.

Yeah, like https://www.livescience.com/space/mars/nasa-may-have-unknowingly-found-and-killed-alien-life-on-mars-50-years-ago-scientist-claims

But Schulze-Makuch believes most of the experiments may have produced skewed results because they used too much water. (The labeled release, pyrolytic release and gas exchange experiments all involved adding water to the soil.)

"Since Earth is a water planet, it seemed reasonable that adding water might coax life to show itself in the extremely dry Martian environment," Schulze-Makuch wrote. "In hindsight, it is possible that approach was too much of a good thing." In very dry Earth environments, such as the Atacama Desert in Chile, there are extreme microbes that can thrive by hiding in hygroscopic rocks, which are extremely salty and draw in tiny amounts of water from the air surrounding them. These rocks are present on Mars, which does have some level of humidity that could hypothetically sustain such microbes. [...]

But too much water can be deadly to these tiny organisms. In a 2018 study published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers found that extreme floods in the Atacama Desert had killed up to 85% of indigenous microbes that could not adapt to wetter conditions.

Therefore, adding water to any potential microbes in the Viking soil samples may have been equivalent to stranding humans in the middle of an ocean: Both need water to survive, but in the wrong concentrations, it can be deadly to them, Schulze-Makuch wrote.

It was also discussed on Lemmy. Wish we could link to posts.

If there are readily available biodegradable options right there, why on earth wouldn’t you use them?

Because that's still trash. From the teaser above:

Killarney used to accept it as a price of being a tourist town: ubiquitous disposable coffee cups spilling from bins, littering roads and blighting the area’s national park.

Apparently they got sick of disposable coffee cups, so suggesting a cup which biodegrades is not exactly a solution to their problem.

As a resident of another town, I find filled bins, littered roads and trash in nature really inconvenient. Happy to see it justified.

Did Hamas plan and prepare for this situation in some way before they launched their raids? As grim as it is, this does not come as a surprise.

Interesting, thanks. Could you please add the source?

Another way to view it: It's not about the individual person you're replying to. Even unreasonable questions are a chance to bring more quality content into the thread, so more people can see it. It's a chance to highlight things you value. It also makes nicer answers.

You've been given excellent and calm explanations why your concern makes no sense in this specific context.

That you choose to cling to a shallow definition instead makes it seem as if you cared more about words than people.
