After a while using duckduckgo for everything, my work browser was hooked to Google, and when I went to use it the results were shit, and the ads were just overwhelming. Reconfigured it to duckduckgo.

Life is better.

What did you do about email?

If its going away now, it isn’t quite long enough…

The eye is the fucking whole argument for the stupid creationism. The most complex piece of machinery in the human body and shit.

That man thinks he’s god, to create similar functionality.

Has he fucking tried to keep his eyes open in fucking cold weather?

Why not just use humans eyes outside of earth’s atmosphere?!

He’s just so fucking stupid. Rich and stupid. The shit he spends his “hard earned” money would be so much better and efficient if spent controlled by mostly anyone else.

Should wealthy people be allowed to buy education to differentiate themselves from everyone else?

There’s a reasonable argument for not allowing a market of education. And apparently that example is creating reasonably good education at scale 5 times bigger than the US.

By whose authority, though?

I mean. There’s governments out there committing genocide despite the overwhelming population of the world being against it.

What does authoritarianism even mean, in that world we live in?

Look at how Chinese are approaching education and you can get an idea on how to do things at scale.

Your link doesn’t work for me. Is this the same?

Don’t forget URSAL.

There’s also strong opinions if open source instances should federate with closed source instances, for reasons of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

Except lemmy specifically is AGPL and it’s basically impossible to monetise as a startup because they can’t close the source code.

Kbin too:

They’d have to create their own from scratch.

“Reports are not clear, but it’s probably China’s fault.” 🙄

I added an Al Jazeera video argument of a single state. It is not a defense of the zionist fundamentalist terrorists state.

It’s a defense of a multi ethnic state, run by the people for the people.

If nobody did anything maybe in 50 years the social indexes may improve by collective work of the people that live there, and know the right priorities, like Vietnam is recovering after the US simply stopped bombing the shit out of that land.

Or, you know, a solution that isn’t imposed by western colonialists, maybe? But by the sovereign people that inhabit the region?

Otherwise, I agree with everything you said.

Pentagon. The security agency of the country vetoing ceasefire agreement in the UN security council, in favour of Israel attacks.

Independently of whom, exactly?
