  • Ding ding ding! Right answer!

    Although I'll be the first to admit that what happened to first Nations and indigenous populations during modern colonization is completely unfair and the reservations system is completely broken and it's recent enough that it's perfectly fair for them to fight it, but claiming you're owed a piece of land because your ancestors (allegedly) got kicked out millennias ago? Nah.

  • DNA tests show that their ancestors mostly have the same markers found in southern Italian or Sicilian populations.

    If a Japanese converts to Judaism, can they claim that their ancestors used to live in Israel? Well, the same logic applies to the European Jews that moved to Israel. They then convinced Jews that are actual descendants of the Levant populations to move to Israel with them, but the first settlers didn't have Israeli ancestors, or didn't have more of them than any other Joe Schmo from Southern Italy

    Firefox's profiles implementation sucks

    (On Windows anyway, don't know if different on Linux)

    Just wanted to share that as a user of both Firefox and Chrome, it's one thing that makes me hate switching to Firefox. I often need to use two different profiles and the way Firefox does it sucks.

    With Chrome I've got two shortcuts (that Chrome creates by activating an option) pinned to my taskbar that look distinct from one another and the instances that I open are combined under their respective profile shortcuts.

    With Firefox I need to manually create two shortcuts, assign two distinct icons to differentiate them, change some properties so they open the right profile, pin them and because they're "regular shortcuts" instead of the default Firefox launcher shortcut, when I open the program I end up with a third Firefox icon in my taskbar (it does not open under the shortcut I used, it acts as if I clicked a shortcut on my desktop) where all instances get merged together no matter which profile they're associated with.

    Bug report: When checking our own comments and tapping "Show context" the comments don't follow each other like they should

    FiskFisk23 and my comment are both replies to Botree's comment, it gets even more confusing when tapping Show context a second or third time.

    For a person that defends freedom of speech and complains about safe space...

    You sure do spend a lot of time ridiculing people's opinions in your safe space...

    Also, reposting content from a defederated instance? @TheDude@sh.itjust.works must have defederated from it for a reason, right? Like not wanting to see lemmygrad's content on their instance 🤔
