Would you also ask airbnb to delist homes in East Jerusalem owned by Palestinian Israelis? Or is it only Jewish Israelis that should be boycotted?

Not every comparison is whataboutism. This looks like more "Israel Bad" virtue signaling than it does helping Palestinians.

I do think maybe it's a good idea to think about how we treat similar situations before we decide that a company should not do business with a particular ethnicity in an area.

America is a nation of immigrants and mixed cultures. In the early 1900s, there was great pressure to acculturate to the "American" way of doing things. Immigrants changed their names, clothes, foods, and language to match the "mainstream." There was a push to build a "colorblind" society.

By the 1960s-70s, younger people began to realize that "acculturation" really meant erasing cultural heritage and acquiescing to white, Anglo, male-dominated culture. So there was a movement to preserve, celebrate, and empower differences between people.

This gave rise to the Black Power movement, creation of the term "Hispanic" and the Latin American ethnicity, Women's Lib, Gay Pride, and even the rise of pizza delivery chains (which was regarded as a somewhat exotic ethnic food at the time).

That tension continues in the USA between recognizing and celebrating cultural differences, and becoming a melting pot of many cultures becoming one.

"They" is the same thing as "us" on Lemmy. Where do you think you are? If you don't like the rules of a community or instance you can literally just make a new one.

If the issue is stolen land, then shouldn't we be boycotting these platforms until they are out of non-native USA and Canada? Doesn't that make up thousands of times more of their business?

At least in the US, protest falls under protected speech and has additional legal protections beyond ordinary speech similar to satire. IANAL but this is not a legal matter. It's clearly an internal policy issue.

This is the problem with any social media being centralized.

BlueSky is just as centralized as Twitter or Facebook.

I tried Navidrome, and it's a plus because it is compatible with any Subsonic app, such as Tempo (FOSS) or Symfonium (paid, independent dev, highly rated).

In the end, I personally had some stability issues (probably because I don't really know what I'm doing). I find that the music server options in Jellyfin are the best option for me, and there are some very solid apps as well. I use Finamp, although there is also Fintunes, which seems to have more active development (both FOSS).

The built-in music player in jellyfin is pretty solid too, which is especially useful for playing on a TV (family dance party anyone?). Jellyfish is already on every platform, and I never did find a good TV client for Navidrome.

I'm sticking around this thread to find out if there is a good music discovery option because I haven't found anything remotely close.

Edit: both Navidrome and Jellyfin allow you to set up multiple user logins. I've found it's much better to set up individual playlists and make them available to everyone.

I feel like this was pretty loudly broadcasted by the campaign.

Good?

It is considered a reliable and accurate source by Wikipedia editors and is rated High Crediblity by MBFC.

If you know of a reason it should be excluded, please let us know.

That's not actually how DEI works.

DEI initiatives provide training to help people in organizations make less biased decisions and be more respectful and inclusive of people from various backgrounds.

For example, instead of hiring someone from the boss's alma mater, they might hire someone from a HBC who is equally qualified and helps bring a different perspective. Or hire a native Spanish speaker for a bilingual position instead of someone who spent a year abroad in Barcelona.

I'm happy to show studies about why it is necessary to correct hiring biases, and how organizations benefit from the efforts.

I get the pitcher!

A whole different topic of discussion is whether settlers occupying and partying on internationally disputed territory should be considered civilians.

That answers your opinion the "no innocent Israelis" question.

It's about 1.4%

Israel lists about 160000 active duty IDF. That's about 1.6% - practically zero according to you?

USA active duty is about 0.6%

There were literally thousands of Hamas fighters who entered Israel by land, sea, and air on Oct 7, 2023. They captured and held territory, killed 1200 people, kidnapped hundreds more, and committed war crimes. Hamas claims that they have/had 10s of thousands more fighters. The scale of these numbers is undisputed.

How is that "close to zero?"

Other than the networks of terror tunnels under schools, hospitals, and kids bedrooms?

You choose to ignore or dismiss the wide and systemic evidence. That doesn't mean that there is no evidence.

Even Al Jazeera admits that there were terror tunnels inside residential buildings.

I don't care if someone says that there are no innocent Israelis or no innocent Gazans. It's despicable either way, and if it's coming from a person of faith - Jewish, Muslim, or Christian, then they are directly violating the will of God. (Gen 18:17 ff)

If they are a Kahanist or Hamas supporter, then they are in favor of literal terrorism.

How about XÆa-12? Asking for a friend.

Wow, that's super disappointing but not incredibly surprising. The developers don't seem as transparent as other projects I've interacted with.

I always install from their github, which I speculate (assume? hope?) does not include these trackers because they would be visible. Is there any way to reliably find out?
