This is meant as a prediction of how could things could be based on current trends and data, not an inevitable future we can do nothing about. There are many constructive things that can be done. I don’t think leaving sarcastic comments on message boards is one of them.
Try replacing the batteries. That’s often the reason for this type of thing.
Is anybody able to contact Pedro Pascal ?
That’s understandable. Would that even be possible, though?
“attracting” companies like Intel that are on the BDS boycott list is not really a good look for Linux.
Thank you, that’s an important distinction. I hope they can be trusted to live up to that. However it still feels l pretty problematic to bring them in and would be a lot of opting in to debate and implement. It remains a pretty big violation of user privacy and trust and it says here:
As if that weren’t bad enough, preparations for the sale went poorly, and it seems large categories of Tumblr posts that weren’t supposed to be sold were added to the mix anyway. That data includes:
Private posts from public accounts
Posts on deleted or suspended accounts
Unanswered asks
Private answers
Explicit posts
Posts from partner accounts, like ad campaigns where Tumblr doesn't own the rights. (Apple is specifically named here.)
One advantage over wordpress is that it avoids bringing its parent company, Automatic, into the Fediverse.
From Wikipedia:
In February 2024, Automattic announced that it would begin selling user data from Tumblr and WordPress to Midjourney and OpenAI.
Thank you. And those are only the confirmed dead. There are thousands more missing and presumably dead under the rubble.
You’re grasping at straws to try to invalidate me instead of saying anything that would back up your point making your argument weaker. There was no repetition from me so if you’ve heard this before it would seem you’ve had this discussion before and may benefit from listening. Perhaps you shouldn’t respond if you have nothing to say
A better example of a pogrom might be the killing of over 30,000 civilian Palestinians and simultaneously starving them to death with blockade following 75 years of occupation and a century of colonialism. Proportionality matters and it doesn’t favor your argument
One need not pretend something that is already factually accurate. This was a retaliation and direct response for Israel bombing Iran’s consulate in Syria on April 1. This is why Iran targeted and struck the Negev air force base ( which contains US F-35s used to bomb Gaza ) as that is the base from which that attack originated. This is also why Iran says it now considers the matter “concluded” and warned the US and Israel against further reprisals. Those are facts and not “pretending” so if you are going to “pretend” this isn’t true and try to distort the matter I’m not interested.
The best part is the UN charter clearly states that when a country is attacked, it has aright to self defense. Let’s watch Israel talk their way around that as they vindicate Iran and incriminate themselves.
If you liked “Florida Man”, you’re gonna love “Florida Woman”
It’s all worth it if it means having this image grace the Fediverse.
The US actually admitted it hasn’t verified Israel’s UNRWA claims . Therefore it is unconfirmed. The actual conspiracy theory is believing claims without evidence and further spreading them. It’s unfortunate that you think the claims justify the collective punish of an entire people ( a war crime under the Geneva convention ) , an organization of thousands and an actress who shared a fundraiser for the people harmed by this misinformation.
The article calls the allegations agains UNRWA “explosive” yet they are completely unconfirmed . WME was once the agency of Charlie Chaplin who sympathetically depicted immigrants and refugees and was forced into exile by Washington during the McCarthy era witch hunts. If they currently find it controversial for one of their clients to share a fundraiser for people in need, they are allowing those same cycles to repeat and it may be time to find a new agency.
I’m sorry for misreading your comment. Seeing un-constructive comments elsewhere probably prejudiced me. These are definitely upsetting statistics and those feelings are valid. Good news is they’re only inevitable if we allow them to be so hopefully we can influence others to take action as individuals for collective change and liberation.
