bdonvr,

Unfortunately it’s not really a step by step guide

bdonvr,

Is it like that in Cuba?

bdonvr,

Well BBSs, Usenet, etc were far more niche. Social media today is nearly ubiquitous.

bdonvr,

$5/mo to them plus running a (small) instance mostly on my own dime!

Community funding is the only way to fight commercialization of the fediverse!

bdonvr,

The site seems to crash Safari on iOS when going to the instance list.

It reloads constantly until Safari gives up :(

Thanks for your work!

bdonvr,

ooooooooo you’re a boyhugger

bdonvr,

!community

On Lemmy desktop it will automatically suggest communities as you type. Not sure on Kbin

bdonvr,

I had settled on Fedora but after that debacle I decided to move to OpenSUSE - no complaints there.

There’s plenty of choice, why stick with Red Hat?

bdonvr,

‘sudo zypper ref’ and ‘sudo zypper dup’ (or up on leap) has done the trick for me. It’s a bit slow though true.

Being able to use .rpm files is nice though

bdonvr,

Eh, who used Leap anyhow? Tumbleweed should be used by pretty much any home desktop user

bdonvr,

Oh yes, on the teeny little GB screen, with 16 bit audio baybeeeeeeeee

bdonvr,

The US gives Israel huge support, monetarily, militarily, etc.

bdonvr,

Yep, basically an inch from the anus.

Recommendations for OS on a rpi 4B (outside of RaspPiOS)

Quickly wondering what people recommend as OS for a rpi model 4b, outside of the RaspPiOS ofc. I want to use the RPI for all networking related stuff (dont worry its not using an sd-card). So PiHole, and I’ll also want to use it as my exit-node out of my Tailnet. I will also run ProtonVPN on it so that all my devices...

bdonvr,

I’m running OpenSUSE on my pi4, but that’s just preference as I like all my machines on the same OS

bdonvr,

If you make over $36k and are salaried in most cases you’re exempt from overtime AFAIK

bdonvr,

FYI Mohammed is the third most popular name on the planet

bdonvr,

Fuck these 12 hour shifts are gonna kill me

bdonvr,

Pasta water should be as salty as the sea, and it has nothing to do with sticking.

There’s a method of language learning - comprehensible input - that is basically this.

Though you need to start by watching/listening things you can actually understand. So start with Peppa Pig level, where they use basic vocabulary, repeat often, and use many visual aids, then work up to content for adults.

Trouble is finding enough learner level content to watch (without going insane). You need many hundreds of hours of content that you understand 90-95% of.

But even if you start with content way too advanced you’d be surprised what many hundreds of hours of listening to a language can do. Not efficient or recommended, but if they’re ACTIVELY listening to the sounds of the language they could pick up a lot of meaning over such large amounts of time.

bdonvr,

Without Israeli settler colonialism there would be no Hamas

Israel war: Israeli foreign minister says Gaza territory will shrink after war (www.washingtonexaminer.com)

Foreign Minister Eli Cohen told Israeli Army Radio that Israel's war aims are not just the total destruction of Hamas, but the country also aims to reduce the size of Gaza. The pronouncement is the most explicit indication yet that Israel will move to annex parts of Gaza, as some analysts have speculated.

bdonvr,

Well they’ve already taken [total size of Israeli territory], what’s a little more right?

/s

bdonvr,

We are witnessing a genocide in real time.

bdonvr, (edited )

You really think 1.1 million can feasibly leave a city three times as dense as LA in the middle of complete electrical loss, food and water shortages? In 24 hours?

You know how many are about to die just getting out? How many will die because they couldn’t get out in time?

Tens of thousands. The ones who do make it out will be homeless and destitute. More dead. Food and water situation in the south is going to be abysmal. More dead.

And I would be utterly unsurprised if the city is never returned.

bdonvr,

And something like 3 times more dense than LA

bdonvr,

Any settler with citizenship elsewhere should leave, stolen land given back to Palestinians, massive reparations paid, and the current Israeli government dissolved and replaced with a single Palestine government fairly representing all.

Barring that, at least stop genociding Palestinians, that would be a decent start.

It’s not like they’re attacking Israel for no reason - they’ve had their home stolen, their people slaughtered, and what’s left of them concentrated into a small, extremely dense outdoor prison. Their violence is only a reflection of Israeli violence.

That’s what could be done.

bdonvr, (edited )

Lemmygrad isn’t full of natsocs though? They’d get banned on sight no warning. Where the hell is this coming from?

Maybe you don’t like them but this is just complete slander.

bdonvr,

What kind of bad takes?

bdonvr,

Link it? That seems like the complete opposite of their views?

bdonvr,

Enough for you to what? Condone genocide? Cheer as Israel bombs Palestinian homes, schools, and hospitals? I promise they’ve killed far more.

“Justifying the beheading of babies”

Source on the baby beheading

bdonvr,

So when is Israel gonna leave the rest of Palestine?

bdonvr,

It’s really not that volatile a substance. You can burn it, even.

You need a special device to actually get it to explode.

bdonvr,

TBF you are supposed to stop first

bdonvr,

They WILL need? They already have, it’s one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

bdonvr,

I do this and my SO and I wake up at different times

Thank you smart watch vibration alarm

bdonvr,

That’s probably most of them- but there’s other situations as well. Some countries require you renounce other citizenships to gain theirs.

bdonvr,

So pipe down and show me them tear ducts baybeeeeeee

bdonvr,

That’s terrible advice, you’d just be left with

youtube.com/watch

You need the “?v=” and the jumble of letters immediately after.

For example: youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

bdonvr,

pretty sure the americans that support Ukraine also support Palestine

I’d like to see those people square that up with this: thelemmy.club/…/90177c67-3aa3-4cb6-88cb-72c96b2a4…

bdonvr,

I thought it was more the whole decades and decades of genocide and stealing their homeland more than this specifically

bdonvr,

I assume you’ve been just as outraged and outspoken about atrocities carried out by the IDF?

Is killing civilians fine as long as they don’t do it too “barbarically” for you?

Should Palestinians just lay back and continue to let the settlers take what little of their homeland they have left? They’re being genocided. They’re fighting back in whatever way they’re capable

bdonvr,

looked up a map of Israel and Palestine

I’ve seen this one: https://thelemmy.club/pictrs/image/99b4613f-aed4-4fb8-8cda-5a88f6c7b29d.jpeg

for no reason at all

Ah, so you’re just a troll then

bdonvr,

It seems your issue isn’t that civilians are dead, but that you are actually paying attention and seeing it now that it’s happening to the colonizers. When it happens in Gaza you don’t pay attention to the images, you don’t empathize with the families destroyed.

But now there’s a relatively (to all that the IDF has done) small attack from Palestine and suddenly it’s front page news everywhere.
