Nvidia shield is an option you should check out.

As much as people around these parts despise algorithmic feeds, I suspect an algorithmic feed would’ve worked far better in this situation to feed all academic based content to someone immediately on account creation if they show interest/ follow peers in the field.

This would’ve helped the migration since they most likely don’t know the accounts of the Twitter accounts posting academic content as that was algorithmically fed as well. I’m really doubtful it’s a problem with decentralization, seems to me mastodon had a problem with both not having a critical mass and the content that was there wasn’t easy enough to find.

China <> US relations have actually been at a much better place this last half a year. This articles pretty big on the fear mongering.

As a heavy tiktok user I would probably only use this if it had an algorithmic feed.

There’s was a surprisingly great 6 minute video from CNN done on this in January.

Definitely a YMMV situation, with corporate landlords when I’ve called them out for breaking the law they usually backpedal. Mom and pop landlords in my experience always attempt to skirt around laws and just out right down respect them.

The golden experience to me has always been small businesses landlords who aren’t quite corporate yet, might own a building or two, but generally small in the grand scheme of things. They ofc eventually sell out to the corporate ownership anyways.

The “hospital bombing” Was a Hamas rocket

This was independently verified as an IDF rocket from multiple sources. Also what about the other 7 hospitals bombed?

Yeah a military will kill their enemies when there’s a war.

Snipers are executing children with bullets to the head. Men are released blindfolded to run and be executed via bullet. This is not what many would be considered, “normal war killing”

There is humanitarian aid going in. There is a border between Egypt and Gaza, it’s mostly just Egypt is being weird causing problems.

Not only is the IDF stopping aid into Gaza as are Israel citizens.

A lot of the humanitarian problems are because there are so many people in Rafah, a place that doesn’t have the infrastructure to handle that many people

Interesting that Israel specifically chose this as a place to evacuate civilians to, and despite that still decided to do both a bombing and ground invasion.

what’s left of their homes to the north

There is nothing left. The IDFs entire plan was the destruction of civilian infrastructure and we’re already seeing Israeli settlers moving into these western locations.

No Iraq officials condemned the attacks and accused the US of violating the countries sovereignty.

"These strikes constitute a violation of Iraqi sovereignty, an undermining of the efforts of the Iraqi government, and a threat that will drag Iraq and the region into undesirable consequences, the consequences of which will be dire for security and stability in Iraq and the region,” Yahya Rasool Iraqi commander in chief

In a lot of a states you can bring forward laws to ballots that amend the state constitutions with enough public signatures. I think in our modern day lack of a useful government officials we should use this tool far more often to attempt to ensure a healthier government.

that region has always has the pressing issue of devout followers of religions engaging in war?

From a historical context “That region” was in a golden age for hundreds of years with a heavy emphasis on education, engineering, and the arts. The downfall of the golden age is attributed towards elites maintaining too much political power and driving focus away from education and scientific output.

Very similar to what we’re seeing with the US now. Your argument can entirely be pinned to the US now with Christianity, instead you choose to blame the region and the people for whatever reason that might be.

The issue generally isn’t ever religion, religion is used as a tool to fuel hatred by the elites. I’m also not including the massive amount the US has fucked the middle east by unnecessary intervention to fuel their own geopolitical advantage and wealth, which again elites using fear and hatred to increase their power and wealth. People aren’t the problem the elites are.

To have formal relations with China you can’t recognize Taiwan as independent.

China is definitely not one of the highest polluters per capita. And that’s also taking into the fact that most of the Western world is produced there.

I would say the prospect of the Taiwanese blowing up their factories instead of bowing to the will of Bejing is not really that far fetched.

The very CCP friendly candidate was leading a few weeks ago at 65% of the majority polled, which is why Xi came to the US under such friendly terms for the SF meet.

He fucked up pretty hard and immediately dipped down to 15% though IIRC.

That doesn’t say much about the build quality though as the reason companies are moving out of China is Chinas increased manufacturing costs.

True only in theory

The DNC (and RNC) both operate as businesses in practice and will put forth oppositions in specific races that are more advantageous for specific donors. These backed members are heavily funded the up winning most the time, despite often being worse candidates.

Recently Tim Burchet was threatened by the RNC to heavily fund an opposition in his next race and he upset the military industrial complex donors attempting to pursue the UAP investigation SCIF.

Also pretty visible in 2016 when Bernie was leading the Democratic primary race until the DNC backed Hilary which massively turned the entire race. You can argue that she would’ve won anyways, which is a fair argument. But the reason it wasn’t close was the DNC backing.

If we can absolve all lobbying then I’ll agree that we live closer to a democracy, but right now we’re very plutocratic.

Missile and bombs are never the answer

You’re right, but if we can’t hold the oppressors accountable why are we drawing the line at the oppressed responding?

I can see a social media implementation of a communities section and feeding off lemmy that way. Essentially cloning reddit through their users and using lemmy communities content as a Kickstarter tool.

war against Hamas

lol sure against Hamas

Realistically this graph wouldn’t include Snapchat, as it’s less of a “social media” than the others. Most people nowadays use it strictly as a messaging platform.

Spam implies it’s useless but it seems I can read my content from Reddit on that instance? While also staying on a single app and getting my regular lemmy threads.

Not sure why it’s a problem other than resource intensity, if the users have the option to block an instance as a whole it’s fine.

I don’t agree with them creating bot accounts and commenting on other instances posts though. Everything should be maintained within the instance.
