I think the basic reasoning is some form of:

“If you support Palestina, you are against Israel. And you can’t be against Israel, because then you are an anti-semite and that means you support Hitler.”

It’s mainly prevelant in western countries that historically support Israel. I do think a big part of that is some historical shame/feeling the Jewish people are owed something, given the genocide they had to endure in WW2. And of course a touch of geopolitics. And right wing politicians using Israel as a way to position themselves (I guess they hate Muslims more than Jews?).

If you mean the person you’re responding to is downvoted: right now the comment has one downvote and two upvotes. Hardly any activity, let alone enough to argue for any voting conspiracies.

This is not how it will go down. PVV might briefly hurt when its government fails, but then they’ll start spewing their far right populist shit again and people will eat it up and vote. In the meantime the whole political conversation has shifted to the right and will nor recover.

Having PVV form a government is not good. Not on the short term, definitely not on the long term.

I like your optimism, but VVD and NSC are probably going to try to work with Wilders.

I don’t see a connection between climate justice and justice for Palestinians, other than that it’s both about justice. Could you elaborate why it’s necessary to bring these seemingly unrelated struggles for justice together?

I btw totally see how a lot of social justice is tied to climate justice, but specifically the Palestinian struggle seems totally unrelated. Happy to change my mind.

There are huge differences. One country came into existence due to a federation disintegrating, because its members called for independence. The other country came in existence because an occupier forced it upon the people living there.

There wasn’t also a huge amount of migration involved with Ukraine. People mostly continued their lives when Ukraine became independent. The founding of Israel involved many Jews for all over the world migrating to that area. You can imagine that affects the people already living there.

It’s also hard to imagine people will live in harmony when one side literally enforces an apartheid regime on the other side.

Every country that joined the EU after the 1992 Maastricht treaty has to adopt the euro. Denmark signed that treaty, UK as well, but if they rejoin, they’d more than likely be treated as a new member.

I watched a video of a scam baiter recently. The scammer wanted playstation store credits or something. The baiter pretended to be an old lady that didn’t understand much. The scammer just had no patience at all. Calling her stupid in her face and all that. Apparently there are really bad scammers.

Try to get each test done as early as possible. Even when a feature is not fully finished yet, parts can probably already get tested.

Other than that I would focus on test automation. Very few tests should require manual work. Both your devs and QA engineers should work on this. Devs develop unit tests and component tests, QA is more focused on integration and end-to-end (this is not a hard rule, I currently work in a team where QA only does end-to-end). Of these only end-to-end typically requires some manual testing work, but by then almost all defects have already been found, so it rarely leads to blockers.

With test automation you can run your tests all the time and get much quicker feedback. Your devs don’t have to wait till Tuesday to hear if things are ok and certainly don’t have to wait another day for QA to finish testing.

Consent-o-matic on laptop. Usually I’ll go through the options and be annoyed. Sometimes I can’t be bothered and hit accept all.

Same on Android. I’m running it on Firefox, but probably also works with Chrome.

Kbin and Lemmy are different software that have communities (magazines on Kbin) where people post content and have threaded discussions. Very much reddit-like.

There are many instances of both Kbin and Lemmy.

Kbin and Lemmy do federate, i.e. ‘talk’ to each other via the same protocol. This means you can see and interact with content regardless which of the two software an instance has chosen. It’s not perfect, e.g. I believe some minor features are not compatible (yet) and I have experienced that federation doesn’t always work, but hopefully this all becomes smoother when both mature.

Nope, ActivityPub (the protocol) doesn’t support communities to be distributed over multiple instances.

Instances can horizontally scale to multiple servers, just like massive websites like reddit do. If you host a huge community, you can gather enough donations to pay for the hosting of your scaled instance.

I can imagine that a future version of ActivityPub will support something like grouping communities of different instances, which could also allow scaling, but will be a bit awkward given you’d then have a community run on multiple instances, so with potentially different rules and the possibility of communities splitting when the instances decide not to group or federate anymore.
