I’m pro-Palestine, I think what Israel is doing in Gaza is definitely a genocide, but seriously, what do you think would happen from a geopolitical standpoint if Biden said “yeah, I think the ICC is right, please stop this genocide Bibi”? The US can’t afford to lose Israel as an ally so it needs to be subtle.

Accelerationism is like being on a plane and wishing it crashes when one of the engine fails.

Shortening rules actually make IPv6 addresses easier to remember than IPv4. Just don’t use auto configuration.

Can’t say this enough. The only way to have some kind of power as a worker is to unionize.

Russia is just much more powerful than them even with full NATO support.

Anyway it’s been a while since a war has been won in the traditional sense. I find the conditions of victory hard to define for Ukraine or Russia.

Tabarnaski, pleased to meet you.

Sometimes I feel like the internet is reliving in a 30 year span what retail went through over a whole century. General stores and small specialized shops serving a limited number of clients, same as when you could put on a website to sell to the world the birdhouses you made as a hobby. Then came shopping malls and Walmarts and everybody went oh my god this is so cool, everything in one place. The same enthusiasm we felt over Facebook, Google, amazon. And now, seeing how the big players all sell cheap stuff, control the market and kill all competition, we look back at a time when there were more options, more freedom, and choose to use Lemmy instead of Reddit, and buy our coffee at the local roaster rather than Starbucks.

Hey that’s great! Will it cover all types of sound synthesis (FM, substractive etc) or focus on a specific one?

You remember some dialogue from your favorite movie. Does this mean your neurons store copyrighted work?

I imagine that someone trying to get an abortion won’t be too public about it on social media…

I’m really curious on what made him change his mind.

We’ve tried colonization before and realized it was wrong. Maybe a good start would be tostop Israel from colonizing the territories surrounding it, and tie financial aid to this condition?

Well well. A pity that the people making the strongest claims earlier lost interest in the discussion.

To my knowledge quantum computers are not a reality yet.

If there are laws that ban discrimination for any reason, why should there be more laws banning discrimination for specific reasons?

Am old, can confirm: past a certain age you never see yourself as old as you really are.

For edibles to kick in you have to say the magic formula, which is: “This shit don’t work”.

I agree with you that it’s a personal choice. I was replying to someone who seemed to imply that it wasn’t, and was suggesting that someone who eats meat can just stop doing it. I think that, for some people or some cultures, transitioning to a vegan diet isn’t that easy.

I’ve heard about that, but I feel a majority of meat eaters are quite tolerant with veganism and don’t see it a a threat to their masculinity. And I think I can say this threat isn’t even relevant in the case of women meat eaters. About the study you linked: it doesn’t really try to take an objective standpoint on the matter since its entire premise is the necessity to convince meat eaters to change their eating habits. Also is says itself (end of section 5) that the link between eating meat and masculinity wasn’t specifically targeted by the study. The authors do mention though that the link between masculinity and meat eating can be attributed to perceptions created by industry marketing. But in this article (as well as in my own personal experience) this link seems at best anecdotal.

How is it relevant to the question I’m asking?
