Original question by @Pro @programming.dev

It seems like a weird question, but other than a couple of users who I recognize on Lemmy, the rest seems to be robotic.

I don't see a lot of creativity or uniqueness.

Why is that?

"Across the UK and around the world, the tide has turned. From musicians chanting at Glastonbury, to students occupying campuses, to doctors’ unions passing motions of solidarity, public opinion has shifted. People are demanding an end to active participation in genocide and ethnic cleansing.

The votes two weeks ago at the British Medical Association’s annual representative meeting - the largest gathering of doctors in the UK - are a powerful symbol of that shift."

I'm a hopeful fan, but after the disappointment of The Flash having read glowing reviews, I thought I might find a review that felt more real.

This one does. I'm going to see it, and I'll probably love it, but I know most people have gotten used to high quality superhero movies these days, and expect to be well entertained when they go to one.

Snip:

The Israeli army announced on 8 July the deaths of five soldiers and the injury of over a dozen others due to an ambush laid by resistance fighters in the northern Gaza Strip the night before.

According to an initial army investigation, infantry soldiers from the Kfir Brigade's Netzah Yehuda Battalion were hit by a roadside explosive device. The army confirmed that rescue forces also came under fire while working to evacuate the casualties.

Among the 14 soldiers wounded in the ambush were two who were listed as being in serious condition.

The northern city of Beit Hanoun, where the ambush took place, had been heavily bombarded ahead of the army’s operations in the area, and had reportedly been secured by the Israeli military. The ambush took place shortly after 10:00 pm on Monday evening.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday the U.S. will have to send more weapons to Ukraine, just days after ordering a pause in critical weapons deliveries to Kyiv.

The comments by Trump appeared to be an abrupt change in posture after the Pentagon announced last week that it would hold back delivering to Ukraine some air defense missiles, precision-guided artillery and other weapons because of what U.S. officials said were concerns that stockpiles have declined too much.

“We have to,” Trump said. ”They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now. We’re going to send some more weapons — defensive weapons primarily.”

Idk, I don't keep track of it I just click the links lemming give me lmao

I do think the last one I tried was peertube.wtf a couple days ago

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

think the biggest instance, lemmy.world, not being operated by the Lemmy devs is also a good health indicator

Doubly so considering how the main devs manage their instance according to their highly controversial political views LMAO

It's not a straight deal breaker for me, but it's a pretty big barrier, I just can't leave Boost lol 😔

The W3C (The body that dictates web standards) specification, that describes what browser engines should handle, like CSS features, HTML5 etc and how is equivalent to thousands of pages long and there are huge standards to implement.

HTML5 is a big thing to implement, so is CSS and the JavaScript engine and probably even more technologies I'm forgetting

And that's just implementation, it takes even more work to get them running well enough for the average end-user

Ladybird has been working on their from scratch engine for ~5 years iirc and they're not planning to even have the first alpha out until next year lol

Np! If you have any specific interest, feel free to ask and I can probably find some good comms for you

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Welcome! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected] . [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.

We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .ee account so you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]

Well there's [email protected] and [email protected] [email protected]

For anarchism specifically, I'm not sure, I think [email protected] maybe

For religion, not sure, religious comms are quite small here ATM, maybe [email protected] could be a good fit

[-] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Well yea, but one of the favored line of arguments is the "The CCP has a 95% approval rating!", which is probably true, but there's a good reason for it. And you know I don't blame the Chinese people one bit, if all I and my parents had known was death and famine and an authoritarian government came in and brought stability and prosperity for the first time in generations, id look the other way on a ton of things too

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Edelman is a global communications firm that partners with businesses and organizations to evolve, promote and protect their brands and reputations.​ 

Sounds like they don't care about the truth, only making whatever their clients want to be "presentable"/accepted and how much they get paid for it.

Clearly the people of China trust their government and since you have yet to provide a source explaining how their government is organized we can only go with my source which clearly indicated that there is direct democracy

And you're operating without understanding the historical reasons for it. For the Chinese people the CCP is leagues better than what came before. What came before the CCP was....quite bad. So from their POV and objectively, yes the CCP is pretty decent for the Chinese people as they would sacrifice things like freedom of speech because of the stability the CCP provides.

But what's good for them does not automatically translate to good for the world, especially in countries where basic human rights have been somewhat enjoyed to varying degrees

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

A small sample to be sure, but it's not without precedent.

After all, what other reason could there possibly be for davel to un-instance-ban me and then re-ban me manually from each individual comm if not to allow brigading? How interesting it happened right after my meme post went live that day.

Y'all Tankies talk a lot of talk, but your actions speak volumes.

You do realize that more and more Redditors are coming here right? That means your Tankie safe spaces are the ones that might not be sufficient LMAO.

Tankies are authoritarian communists, basically places like Russia and China can do no wrong in their eyes no matter how well supported said fact is. They don't even recognize they nor NK are dictatorships. Basically if you say anything negative about those governments on .ml it'll get removed and you possibly banned

.ml is part of the Triad of instances that they hide out in, the others hex and grad are much more on your face about it, but .ml is more subtle about it tending to just remove non-Tankie view points via mod/admin action and a lot of the official support comms are on there as well because the main devs are also Tankies.

I actually have to use this account to talk about them now to new users now because this accounts instance defed's from them, otherwise they'll just brigade posts and comments about them LMAO my main is @[email protected]

Reddit also has tankies, but there was just so many other users they kinda disappeared into the sea lol

Yea that's what [email protected] is, some of it is serious documentation work, some venting and a couple memes

Sorry to just dump this on you, but encountering a Tankie without warning is rather...jarring lmao

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I just made an account on your instance, and wow. It's so obvious that my original reply to you is definitely being "lightly" brigaded by .ml

From here it sits at positive 2, from my .world account it's at 0 LMAO
