I'm on lemmy.world and I've seen at least one from Hexbear
I have seen pretty radical stuff from news@hexbear.net. Like, holy moly. I think it was on All, but maybe I accidentally subscribed to it. Saying stuff like "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" seems to get upvotes over there.
I get it, Israel's illegal settlements and occupation of Gaza make it pretty easy for radical groups to gain followers. But that doesn't mean that shooting at ordinary people is going to fix anything. Sure, Palestine has a right to defend itself. But shooting up a festival hardly qualifies as this.
Equally relevant, putting aside Israel's settlements which we know to be illegal, the number of civilians dying in Gaza is totally unacceptable. Air strikes might look less horrific than men with guns, but they are really equally horrific, killing huge numbers of civilians. These lives are not worth less in any way.
I think this order of thoughts is appropriate:
- It is awful that civilians are dying, no matter where they live
- Unjust violence is taking place in Israel and in Gaza
- This doesn't come out of the blue. Current conditions are a violation of international law by Israel and are a breeding ground for radicalisation. Israel has many more cards in their hands to turn this around than Palestine has.
- Can we please end this endless cycle of violence and suffering?
And beans. And lentils. And peas.
Also, opting for the burger options doesn't have to mean eating a huge quantity of them.
Could be worse though

Sadly this is the same for every religious minority group.
Most strictly conforming to rules -> most conservative -> most likely to be used in media or promotion because it's most visible
The more visible a difference is, the more likely it is to be considered in a progressive society. Humans are pretty stupid when it comes to these things.
It's just maintaining arch that was a bit of a headache for me. I loved having access to the AUR and being able to use bleeding edge.. well, everything. But too much of my time ended up going to fixing issues after updates or finding out what package to choose when there were conflicts during updates.
Obligatory warning AVOID CCA CABLES! They can be a hazard!

I know it's a cliché, but say this on Reddit and you'll be downvoted into oblivion. Tried it many times. Criticize meat and seemingly reasonable people suddenly start making the same circular arguments they usually mock.
Whether we treat animals fairly shouldn't depend on whether they're friendly or playful towards humans.
Still, every cow looks curious and investigative. And even if they're skittish, they're still much more trusting towards humans than we deserve. If the cow understood what was really happening, it would be horrified of the monsters that humans are towards cows.
Yet, it was the broccoli that the butterflies, not locusts, favored first. For the Lord had ordained that this green shoot, with its crown like unto a tree, be the first to witness the might of His judgement. And lo, not a single stalk of broccoli remained; it was stripped bare, its beauty consumed, and its greenness vanished from the land of Egypt.
And the people lamented, for the broccoli had been a favored vegetable amongst them, rich in nourishment and taste. But the Lord's will was clear, and His signs undeniable. Through the consumption of the broccoli, the people of Egypt bore witness to the power and the fury of the Almighty.
Very easy to set up and almost no work to maintain*
If you, despite knowing better, rarely update your containers and host OS and often think about a list of other important tasks that you have yet to do.
Rule 1 of life: be skeptical when someone presents their opinion as facts.
Looking at Western European countries like Germany, the Netherlands and the UK to an extent, the road to net-zero is disrupting. Probably because necessary steps have been delayed until the last moment. Large numbers of refugees have a destabilising effect on democracy as well.
Some steps that are necessary for net-zero are expensive investments (like heat pumps) that are causing conflicts in society. Going ahead with it as well as delaying is sure to be met with very loud resistance. Don't think that Germany can miss it's climate goals without some serious protests, perhaps worse than they've ever seen.
At the same time, I wonder how well UK households are going to deal with even higher food prices as the percentage of failed harvests increases. There isn't a lot of buffer space here.
It's not so much whether rich countries have enough money to deal with climate change, but rather how well democracy will fare when it's under duress.
