Mastodon is more like a garden than a grocery store. If you spend the time to slowly build your network by following interesting people and hashtags, Mastodon can be an amazing experience where you actually have real human interactions.
It’s not good for viral marketing or mass produced content in my opinion, but if you start by following a few people that boost a lot of other posts, then you’ll find content in time. Every time you see an interesting post, follow that person. If it later turns out that it’s not for you you can unfollow it and it’s not a big deal.
There are literally published studies that show Twitter has tweaked the algorithm to promote the most vile and extremist right wing media while at the same time cooling the spread of moderate voices.
Anyone still hanging out at the bar run by Nazis and full of Nazis and funding Nazis is either deluded in thinking that they can change the vibe of the party, or they just plain like the vibe.
We absolutely are. Defining Judaism as a religion alone is ignorant and christocentric.
Judaism has always been a people of a singular national identity, defined by common origin, language, history, sense of identity, culture, folklore, music, clothing, cuisine, etc.
This is exactly the reason why a majority of Israelis did not support the law, and it received significant criticism from broad Israeli groups on the right and left, Jewish, Druze, and Arab.
It’s also why it’s essentially never been enforced.
Israel is just as ethnically diverse as those you’ve listed. Druze, Arabs, Armenians, Bedouins, Samaritans, Turks, etc. in a nation of less than 10 million.
Israel is also a pluralistic society, in which all citizens (a quarter of which are not Jewish) are guaranteed complete equal rights under the law. There are multiple Arab parties in the parliament (Knesset).
Can you explain why France has a greater number of Arabic speakers than Israel but no Arabic language schools, while Israel has hundreds of state funded Arabic language schools that parents can choose to send their kids?
So Israel is an “apartheid state” except that minorities have full rights of citizenship, vote, serve the government, hold positions of leadership in government, academia, business and medicine. But minority parties, representing a minority population, don’t have more power? Are you even vaguely aware of how democracy works? And you think I’m the one being disingenuous?
As a student of history, how many “decades” was Palestine under rule by a foreign power before 1948? What date were the people of Palestine first conquered?
Gee, it’s almost as though paying 2½ times more for an education and 3 times more for a house on basically the same wage is hard. This is not rocket science. It’s basic arithmetic
Thanks. I wasn’t sure how to do it, but it renders correctly in Eternity. I actually see extra carrots rendered in what you typed. Is there a style guide that I can maybe share with the developer? Eventually the different front-ends will work the same. Growing pains.
I feel like when it comes to the fediverse, the official apps just exist to demonstrate functioning. Maybe front end and back end developers have different skill sets. I don’t know? I find myself using third party apps exclusively.
Look at that shit! Before it was here are your two browsers choose! Now it’s…how about for the letter A? Suppose a website starts with an A, would you choose Edge to be your default browser?.. then you choose chrome or Firefox, and when you click on a link Edge Pops up with some shit like…Are you really sure you wanna use...
I’ll be honest, there was a time when Edge was a really nice browser. Probably the best of the chromium browsers. It had an excellent reader mode, impeccable PDF viewer, and a few small quality of life tweaks that actually improved shopping, privacy, Etc. But then Microsoft did what Microsoft does and filled it with bloat, needless features, an unclosable assistant, and ever more aggressive tracking.
In a year, they’ll abandon it and rebrand it the new Bing browser, and the cycle repeats
“Officials said that Israel and Egypt were prepared to let foreigners leave the Strip which is under heavy Israeli bombardment, but Hamas had refused.”
Hi, English isn’t my mother tongue so I was asking myself that question since I first encounted a w/… Back then I was like: “What tf does ‘w slash’ stand for?” And when I found out I was like “How, why, and is it any intuitive?” But I never dared to ask that until now
No idea, but it might be connected with shorthand, which was a common and sophisticated note-taking technique that allowed people, mostly secretaries in business, to write as fast as talking.
Birth is not necessarily an emergency room procedure. In order to have the baby at the hospital, they usually require a portion of payment upfront, along with insurance. If there are complications, they might admit you without a prior plan, but you’d be in the emergency room rather than obstetrics.
The second answer is that they will just bill you and you can pay it off over years or just let it go to collections. They have legally more limited ways to collect medical debt. They can harass you and ding your credit but they can’t garnish wages, etc. As long as you are making a minimum payment, they may not be able to send it to collections (sometimes a few dollars a month).
I’m not a lawyer but I’ve been through the process and I know that OBs aren’t usually in an emergency room. Sorry for any inaccuracies, I’m just speaking from my personal experience.

The dangerous fuel shortages are caused by the lsraeli blockade of Gaza
I was more responding to the inaccurate information about the source of the problem. These babies and families deserve better than a terrorist Hamas government that endangers their lives, steals the fuel they need to survive, wages war on Israel, and causes an Israeli Egyptian blockade.
Edit: after rereading my original comment, you’re right; I misspoke. Hamas is not running out of fuel. They’re just not sharing it with the people who they are supposedly protecting and “freeing.”
