‘Useful Idiot for Russia’: DNC Decides to Go Off on Jill Stein
  • Yes agreed.

    I think I know where you're confused. Here's the original claim that begat this thread,

    It’s not controversial to say that the US / NATO helped trigger the war in Ukraine.

    The claim is about an opinion being generally accepted. To confirm or refute the claim requires secondary sources, since the claim is about opinions.

    If the claim were simply,

    US / NATO helped trigger the war in Ukraine.

    Then the claim is concerned directly with what triggered the war in Ukraine. To confirm or refute the claim, you'd benefit more from primary sources (including journalism, as you mentioned.)

  • USA approves $8.7bn aid package for Israel
  • The opposite, granting Palestinians citizenship allows them to potentially control the government.

    Compare that to any point in our lifetime, where Israel has been their defacto government: Palestinians must report each birth, each change of address to a "foreign" government. If they want to leave their country, they must seek permission from the "foreign" government. If they want to visit their family across town, they must present identification to a "foreign" government.

    Citizenship ends apartheid.

    I'm considering stock pixel 9, but I was wondering if anyone had specific critiques of Gemini's privacy.

    I use LLM bots frequently, but am a bit hesitant to let one take over my phone.

    "I Ain't Reading All That; Free Palestine"

    > The meme enrages Israel supporters because Israel apologia depends on mountains of verbiage to spin obvious atrocities as reasonable and appropriate. At some point the kids noticed this was happening, and started dismissing all the narratives.

    > ...Without mountains of narrative, all you’ve got is a nonstop deluge of raw video footage depicting the blatant genocidal criminality of Israel. No narrative overlay is required atop a video of a baby beheaded by Israeli military explosives. It stands on its own. You’d only need narrative to explain why the footage of the headless baby doesn’t say bad things about the side that’s dropping the bombs.

    > ..Manipulators understand that they can use narrative to promote material agendas if they can get people to believe those narratives, and it enrages them when people handwave away the narrative and stick solely with the raw data of material reality. If you’ve based your life around trading empty narrative fluff for real material resources and gains, having your narratives dismissed can feel like holding a huge pile of currency that suddenly got devalued to zero. Of course the manipulators would be upset about this.

    lemmyBB: 502 Bad Gateway

    I have a lemmy-ui instance working correctly, fresh ansible install. I haven't configured it yet, but it's up and running and test posts work fine.

    I'm mostly interested in lemmyBB, so I installed that according to "Alongside existing Lemmy instance (native)" install instructions.

    Everything seems to work fine during install, systemctl status lemmy_bb.service shows: Jan 17 06:51:57 vps-f7b29755 lemmy_bb[484]: [2023-01-17T06:51:57Z INFO rocket::launch_] (FileServer: assets) GET /assets/<path..> [10] Jan 17 06:51:57 vps-f7b29755 lemmy_bb[484]: [2023-01-17T06:51:57Z INFO rocket::launch] 📡 Fairings: Jan 17 06:51:57 vps-f7b29755 lemmy_bb[484]: [2023-01-17T06:51:57Z INFO rocket::launch_] Templating (ignite, liftoff) Jan 17 06:51:57 vps-f7b29755 lemmy_bb[484]: [2023-01-17T06:51:57Z INFO rocket::launch_] Shield (liftoff, response, singleton) Jan 17 06:51:57 vps-f7b29755 lemmy_bb[484]: [2023-01-17T06:51:57Z INFO rocket::launch_] Site data fetcher (request) Jan 17 06:51:57 vps-f7b29755 lemmy_bb[484]: [2023-01-17T06:51:57Z INFO rocket::shield::shield] 🛡️ Shield: Jan 17 06:51:57 vps-f7b29755 lemmy_bb[484]: [2023-01-17T06:51:57Z INFO rocket_dyn_templates::fairing] 📐 Templating: Jan 17 06:51:57 vps-f7b29755 lemmy_bb[484]: [2023-01-17T06:51:57Z INFO rocket::launch] 🚀 Rocket has launched from http://127.0.0.1:8703

    Federated and local forums on the same homepage?

    I'd like to restart an old community with fedibb. The throwback phpbb UI is irresistible!😳 In addition to our own local forums, is it possible to include a couple forums from https://fedibb.ml/ such as "Music" and "Video Games" on the homepage and have my users interact?
