i prefer Felon Stank

it did and still firefox is viewed as slipping, and mozilla is doing little to nothing to fix it

hot, active, new, top, and controversial are all algorithms

i’ve considered this as what’s going on

decent chance lol. but i didn’t ask for this either. it’s like there’s an internet civil war and i got a side assigned to me. i’m not switching sides, i got sorted right, but it’s weird to me, an internet old head

i’m banned from a lot of these communities i’ve discovered. i don’t do downvotes of relevant posts in their own communities, i just block such communities, so it will also be based on comment content it seems.

we use different frequency ranges for our cellular networks than most regions

they’re sold by morena

i contribute code back a lot so any distro i use will end up getting free labor from me so it works a little different for me. like you said, it’s a personal choice

it’s not about linux mint, it’s about its base, Ubuntu which also isn’t involved with microsoft, but its parent company, canonical is guilty of providing similar aid as ms does. so if you’re boycotting microsoft, you should boycott canonical, too. thus, LMDE being my recommendation in that case. LMDE is developed by the same people who make Mint. i was never trying to imply they’re the proplem

Mint if all you want is all your shit to work. Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) if you also have ideological issues with microsoft’s involvement in the israeli genocide of the Palestinian people

all ads are propaganda

based on the pride flag i’m guessing it means “dresses like the opposite gender of what i perceive this person should be”

edit: wow okay. wasn’t saying its bad. just saying having been queer and dealt with doctors they will absolutely try to use you being queer to justify saying you have a mental health disorder

removing nuance helps not a single palestinian and isolates people who are experiencing hate against them to the only side that says there is hate, and that’s a group that brandishes that hate to perpetuate more hate. jews who are focused on doikyat need to be able to talk to their peers who are scared about what they are scared of in order to direct them to help the oppressed people of palestine and understand that zionism will fuel that hate against them rather than protect them. that is a delicate conversation and denying that only helps the zionist. it may be simple for you because you do not require deprogramming, but for us we have to assess things and pull apart how the media like the new york times and the bbc manipulates us based on the fears we fear. we have to understand the dog whistles of the zionists and the anti-semites and deconstruct them. the reason for this is that anti-semites and zionists preach the same message: there is no place for jews here. by creating a black and white binary view of the influences on our outlook we create a situation where one persons binary doesn’t match another binary. these have been the tools of division for 20k years. the real way forward is to make clear that what you want is a world safe for all who live on it, and what you are against is hate based ideologies. when a jew says they are experiencing a rise in hatred in their day to day life take a moment to acknowlege that this is real and that it’s israel who’s driving this fear and benefits from it.

lemmy lacks all sense of nuance

for sure. that’s like… kind of a genuine challenge with looking for and understanding antisemitism is that how it presents itself changes through the eras. but in our current age, i think people are more likely to associate pigs with capitalism and anti-jewishness than with jews. like. i think it’s important and good that we’re having these conversations so we can understand the current status of anti semitism especially as israeli backed organizations water down these things by applying the term antisemitism to too many things.

and as you say, there’s a major aspect of regionality. antisemitism looks different depending on the place

it’s more common to portray jews as rats. like i get where you’re coming from, but i think they picked what they picked to avoid the antisemitic dog whistle. that’s just my read though as a dude with curly hair, a big nose, and sensitivity to “is this person hating me for my jewish ancestry”

capitalist pigs

indestructable

google, as a corporation, has been pushing us all to move a particular way for years. it’s most obvious in the YouTube recommendations algorithm which pushes right wing shit. their fonts platform just gives them more control over the entire web instead of just acting as an index.
