If Europe wants Gazan ports to be open. Offer insurance to Israel for all rocket, suicide and other militaristic actions taken by Gaza with a minimum payout of $10M per incident.

Bigotry is inherently a thing whose definition changes over time based on the society/person making the decision. As opposed to the flatness or roundness of the earth.

You in 1923, 2023 and 2123 will all decide with the same set of facts that the earth is not flat. That's objectivity.

You in 1923, 2023 and 2123 will all have different decisions on what is and is not bigotry given the same set of facts. That's subjectivity.

You should get a bread maker.

I don't know how you can say that given that less than 100 years ago in all of the Western world (save maybe France). Bigotry was the default governmental, societal and scientific position. And opposition to it was seen as distasteful as bigotry is today.

So lemmy needs a "soft" block. A system that moderates it out of the default streams, but allows an individual user to still add communities they want to see in their subscriptions.

Sure but if you take a population of people and expose them to the same scam over and over; in theory less will fall for it each time. Some might fall for it every time to infinity, but < 100% of those who failed on round one will.

A big part of detecting bullshit is having the experience of getting burned by bullshit.

Tiny Tiny RSS has been great for me. Popped it on a VPS and it's been running for years now trouble.

Wagner was largely responsible for a lot of Russia's territorial gains in the East while Russian command wasted it's best troops trying to take airfields an execute a decapitation strike on Zelensky himself at the beginning of the war (with disastrous effects). I imagine that with Wagner largely withdrawn there's going to be a vacuum of skilled fighters, that could lead to a significant decrease in war readiness on the front.

I did try out Haiku a long time ago. I wonder how that's doing.
