I just want to say thank you for providing the instance.

For myself, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are strictly politically one way or another and perhaps somewhat intolerant of other views. I like how this space is something that can be a gateway into interacting with users of all persuasions without the "quick, defederate them all" nonsense. I only hope and wish that lemm.ee grows to maintain it's position as one of the key cornerstones of the lemmy community.

Thanks for providing this space and persisting. I can imagine it has not been easy.

Are the problem with the people who watch the video, or the people who create, or host the videos?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Nah. I'm British, and today is 31/12/2023. We use slashes. American's are just wrong.

All those folk driving because public transport roots don't go where they need to get. All those folk who cannot afford to get the train so drive. All those people that power their homes with power from fossil fuels.

How dare they do that to this planet?

And then some smug green folk will berate them for eating meat and blaming them for the worlds problems and wondering why no one cares or buys into the message.

Industry need to improve and governments need to use legislation to get that change. We need to persuade and encourage, not berate. Praise improvements and notberate sub-optimal behaviour. Do we want to save the planet or just feel good about ourselves?

Valid question. After reading his opinions, why would anyone follow his mastodon?

If he's a good YouTuber, it's like following a footballer who has shit opinions. I'll watch you play football, but screw following your nonsense stream of consciousness.

I get chills every time I hear this. An incredible game, and an amazing piece of music.

Nice. That sounds rough. You get enough food? Where do you sleep?

What mods help with that?

I had one play through on builder where I survived winter. Currently back at it on apocalypse mode.

I've survived 200 kills and about 14 days as my best one. I'm currently on about 90 kills in 3 days. Now I'm acquainted, I might start from day 1 and see if I can keep my dude alive.

How about yourself?

There is some things I would have liked to keep up on, but Lemmy has a lot of the stuff I am interested in, and Discord covers some other bits. I use social media less which is good. I am more productive and sleep quicker.

The FOMO is the brain craving dopamine. The solution is getting used to less, not chasing more.

Make the internet work for you, not the internet working you.

I don't use perforce, but if you do a fresh check out to a new location, what state is in currently in? Does it open and play? That will be the current state in version control.

Are you aware of this history?

Israel is responsible for what Hamas became... You kill a one guy, and they replace with worse...

[-] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago

So bombing the shit out of the place is ok? Deaths are ok?

These people are in a pressure cooker, so increase the pressure, push them south and bomb the evac routes, don't let fuel into hospitals or enough food in to Gaza.

Hamas are assholes, but when you start to justify civilian deaths, you're no longer the good guy, yourself. They killed x, so we kill y.

This is looking increasingly like an annexation (especially of the north). Hamas aren't in the West Bank, it's run by Fatah, but Israel still rules it with an iron fist and keeps popping up more settlements. Moral actions under international law isn't something that concerns them.

Former Palastinian leader, Yassar Arafat who was awarded a nobel peace prize died in 2004 confined to his compound by the IDF. Swiss investigators suggested polonium poisoning, French and Russian investigators didn’t really make a conclusion, but couldn’t really confirm or deny it.

A Hamas founder was killed in 2004:

“Yassin, a quadriplegic who was nearly blind, had been reliant on a wheelchair due to a sporting accident at the age of 12.[8] In 2004, he was killed when an Israeli helicopter gunship fired a missile at him as he was being wheeled from Fajr prayer in Gaza City.[9] The attack, which also killed both of his bodyguards and nine bystanders, was internationally condemned.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Yassin

Yassin on several occasions proposed long-term ceasefire agreements, or truces, so called Hudnas, in exchange for Israeli concessions. All such offers were rejected by Israel. Following his release from Israeli prison in 1997, he proposed a ten-year truce in exchange for total Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza and a stop to Israeli attacks on civilians. In 1999, in an interview with an Egyptian newspaper, he again offered a truce: We have to be realistic. We are talking about a homeland that was stolen a long time ago in 1948 and again in 1967. My generation today is telling the Israelis, 'Let's solve this problem now, on the basis of the 1967 borders. Let's end this conflict by declaring a temporary ceasefire. Let's leave the bigger issue for future generations to decide.' The Palestinians will decide in the future about the nature of relations with Israel, but it must be a democratic decision. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Yassin#Views_on_the_peace_process

Considering he was returning from mosque, and was executed, to international condemnation, it’s clear to see that he was replaced with much worse. Three of Hamas leadership have lost family also (wife/2 children, brother, eldest son).

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67103298

In 2006, Hamas won a majority for the first time and took control of the Gaza strip and booted Fatah out.

From heading hopefully towards peace, to a divided Palestine with an increasingly hostile Hamas in the space of 2 years with the IDF possibly playing a significant part in that, it is hard to say that Israel aren’t more than a little responsible for radicalising Hamas further/agitating them. They also hold an awful lot of territory in the West Bank (which Hamas do not control).

It does not seem Israel want peace at all. I cannot imagine they are this incompetent. Not that I’m defending Hamas, they’re absolute assholes. Though. killing 7000 people including 40% children, it is the population of Gaza who are suffering. It is certainly going to help Hamas recruit with so many people losing parents, siblings and relatives. We head away from peace with every single day and it’s so painful to watch this.

Hi. Is there a tool to see fastest growing Lemmy communities? It's easy to see the big communities, but it would be helpful to see fast growing communities to join in with community building for things you may have an interest in. is there anything that currently does this?

Requesting: c/[email protected] My post: https://lemm.ee/post/663113 but also have a few comments on there.

No mods are set for this community.

My intention is to recover this community and avoid fragmentation which almost happened here: https://lemmy.world/comment/812055

This one is definitely the hardest and is the least mature. Have you managed to get off Google on your phone?

I'm using GrapheneOS (Degoogle'd android) on a Pixel 6a. The irony isn't lost on me that I had to buy google to get off google.

I had tried Pinephone and Plasma mobile, but it still needs more work and I needed a phone sooner as my old one was failing.

How about you? Did you manage to get away from Google?
