It’s not just that it’s slavery, but it’s literally destroying the people doing it. Being exposed to so much horrendous content has lasting impact. It’s like the coal mines (or any number of other body destroying examples) but it’s not lungs that suffer, it’s the brain.
I don’t get the downvotes here. I read it as frustration at the number of people that seem to think the current state of the USA is something that can be fixed at the next election - when it’s clear to anyone with half a brain that it’s way beyond that. We’re already at the point where high profile journalists are being arrested and Nov. is still nine months away!
I’ve been using Niagara forever (since at least early 2019) and it is different, but it really works for me. I’ve tried to use other launchers from time to time out of curiosity but keep coming back.
100% agree - that all falls into my “con artists using religion” bucket - I know it’s a stretch.
You are dangerously close to the “both sides are the same” rhetoric.
I can understand how it could be seen that way - it was not intended. It is very clearly a genocide. But, I don’t think you can deny that there are religious zealots on both sides that would resists the proposed “simple” solution.
I totally agree in theory, but unfortunately there are too many religious zealots on both sides that won’t accept this. As I age, the thing that frustrates me most is realising there seems to be something fundamental built into human nature that makes a huge number of us susceptible to manipulation by con artists that use organised religion for their own purposes. (Just in case it’s not clear - I’m an atheist and view all organised religion as a con)
I understand your sentiment, but it’s a really difficult situation. I don’t pretend to understand the history but I think I understand that there are a lot of people that believe the very existence of Israel to be illegitimate (and with my limited understanding I tend to agree) but we now have generations of totally innocent people, that despise their government, living there. I don’t have a solution, but I can’t accept that these innocent people have no right to self defence just because they have not yet had the strength to overthrow their government.
I’ll disagree. The Israeli leadership is doing horrible things and the only way for those of us not in Israel to attempt to stop them is to boycott all of Israel - we have no way of picking and choosing products/services from Israel that will help/hurt the regime. Moves like this by NVIDIA are seen as subverting the boycott in a very significant way and draw out the negative responses you see here. The only people that can legitimately change the Israeli leadership are the Israeli people and they are going to face negative opinions from outside until they do. I understand very well that I’m extremely lucky that I live in a country that has not been taken over by fascists and I do what I can to keep it that way.
I can’t remember the timeline - whichever came first should have been the last.
Grab em by the pussy should have been the last straw!
I installed mine from F-Droid. I just went there to turn off updates and it doesn’t exist. I have not been paying attention so it may have been gone for ages and not related?
Two thoughts -
I believe (with nothing to support it) that “in the beginning” a bunch of communites were created by some sort of automation, to mirror Reddit, and they are now dead because no-one actually wanted them here in the first place and
I often join communites because I’m mildly interested in the topic and am curious to learn more by observing to conversation - I’ll probably never end up posting. I don’t have any weight to pull in this scenario.
