I am old and I want YouTube Drama to distract me from real life drama

Meanwhile my autistic ass just sits for a long time until they look my way and I wave awkwardly hoping I didn’t do anything wrong

Also no quote tweets. And many people are used to algorithms now. I love Mastodon but I have to say Bluesky is more polished. Mastodon can be weird about threads and replies to posts. Sometimes I see a reply before I see the post, especially in the “lists” view. Chronological timeline is great but it has its own issues too. For example people living in different time zones will have their posts buried when everyone is asleep. The algorithm, for better or worse, shuffles things around which can work for you or against you. If you browse for 5 mins here and there, algorithm helps you see the most relevant posts in that widow. Having both chronological and algorthimic feeds would be so helpful to me in Mastodon. I know there a front end that does a “catch up” feature, but it’s a bit hacky

Need to rewatch this show at some point. Daria is so ratable

Is Logseq FOSS ?

“Four more years” after “ceasefire now” is really really dark

In Huawei at least, you don’t have the ability to install a custom ROM. They don’t allow you to unlock the bootloader.

FOSS generally puts more pressure on people to write better and safer code, because you know everyone is going to look at it. Even when vulnerabilities are found, they are usually fixed so fast compared to the proprietary side. There are stories of people waiting 6 months for Microsoft to fix a vulnerability, while an Openssh or openssl issue is usually fixed in a few days.

I really loved The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky and Beloved by Toni Morrison.

She was underweight before because she hardly ate anything. She’s way better now. But some people comment on her change of weight because they compare it to how she was before.

That’s a bad analogy. A browser with 5 tabs is not like having 5 different browsers open.

Lemmy is a global community so the provider I use in my country would hardly be useful to anyone else, you wouldn’t have heard of it. Maybe specify which country you’re interested in if you wanna compare providers available for you.

It’s not about being behind Hamas. Hamas didn’t come into being in a vacuum, but is a direct result of what was happening in the region for years. At first Israel let Hamas form or even encouraged it, attempting to use it to keep Palestine divided. Destroying Hamas, which has the highest cost for civilians, is useless if the circumstances that gave rise to it didn’t change. Another Hamas will just form. It’s like the US trying to bomb Taliban out of existence, they are in power now after all the death and tragedy.

Edit: if you want to know more, there’s an archived Wall Street Journal article citing Israeli sources about how Hamas was formed, and the role Israel played in that.

It’s not even available in many countries. Even if it were, the price is steep especially in third world economies. It’s probably not that big of deal for many in the US but most people in third world countries would find it so hard to squeeze it into their budget.

Here is an Archived Wall Street Journal article detailing how Israel had a hand in forming Hamas

The power vacuum was literally artificially created by Israel. Do you think they didn’t know that this would happen ? They literally wanted to make an example out of Gaza like “see what happens when we step down of a region? Do you want this to happen?” Do you think Israel actually will let Palestine be united in one voice? They actually loved the fact that Hamas exists, as long as they can keep the violence to a minimum.

I haven’t been on Reddit since that time. I am really enjoying Lemmy especially now that I can use Eternity, the Lemmy fork of the reddit Infinity app I’ve used so long. It feels so familiar
