It it like he can see us but we can’t see him?

Opposite way around. We can see him but he can’t see us.

The reason you can’t see him is because you’re on Lemmy which will only display microblog posts if they’re (1) a reply to a Lemmy post, (2) made from kbin/mbin, or (3) replied to by someone from kbin/mbin (not entirely sure about this one).

Twitter has taught me that nowadays people are too adaptable, 90% of people will stick with Reddit no matter what they do.

@novamdomum I don’t think there is anything like that currently, but you can request it for KES.

Depends on what the purpose of the button is.

A setting should show the current state, but an action (referring to the play button example) should show the state it’ll transition to.

but I’m curious how you expect Gazans to sing peace’s praises

I don’t, I only answered your question (“How is UNRWA perpetuating anything?”). Most of which was quoted from an article I linked.

I’m not the original poster you originally replied to. I actually agree with what you say about Israel perpetuating the conflict too, probably more. But UNRWA is undeniably doing its part too.

They teach antisemitism and terrorism.

I’ve found this article that talks about it (among some other reasons), though I’ve also seen it on other sites.

A recent report by the watchdog group IMPACT-se highlighted that UNRWA’s educational materials, based on the Palestinian Authority (PA) curriculum, contain antisemitic content and celebrate violence and martyrdom-jihadist culture.

UNRWA has a significant position in educating almost 545,000 Palestinian children across the Middle East.

The IMPACT-se report examined educational materials used in UNRWA schools, particularly in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, where the PA curriculum is adopted.

The PA curriculum, which has been under scrutiny since its 2016 revision, is found to contain – like it did before its revision – antisemitic content and the promotion of violence, jihad, and ‘martyrdom’ culture, while omitting teachings of peace and coexistence. UNRWA, while not producing its own curriculum, supplements the host country’s curriculum with additional materials. Despite pledges to counter-act calls for violence by UNRWA, the report found a disturbing failure to do so.

More than 80 UNRWA teachers and staff across more than 30 schools have been caught distributing hateful content in their textbooks.

According to UN Watch: “Teachers and schools at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which runs education and social services for Palestinians, regularly call to murder Jews, and create teaching materials that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis and incite antisemitism.”

Maybe in comparison to the US layout? I’m not having any trouble with them.

If you mean the [] (and {}), they just use the right alt key, which is close enough to them.

I just use the Swiss keyboard layout. Here’s an image from Wikipedia.

Don’t have any experience with any others.

Probably american-based like the other commenter says. The American left is the global center-right iirc.

As I understand it, the message here is that any decently savvy user of Firefox turns off telemetry, so mozilla doesn’t know of them using extensions. hence why they say 80% don’t use them, people who do use them don’t give them their usage data.

Kbin.social has just had some big issues recently and still hasn’t fully recovered (which is why development is currently stalled), so it’s absolutely possible you’ll run into more issues currently than usual. Not sure if what you’re experiencing there is part of that though.

that blocks your bank or even some games if your phone is rooted

That’s your bank and those games, not Google.

The games are obviously afraid of cheating/hacking. For the bank it’s about your account’s security. Root access gives a lot of power to potentially malicious actors, it’s definitely not weird for them to not work if your phone is rooted.

Antitrust is about powerful companies abusing their powerful positions. With powerful I mean control over a market.

The idea is that if society is functionally dependent on a product, it shouldn’t be the case that the owning company abuses that position to force people into walled gardens.

While it’s of course still bad if a smaller company does it, the amount of people impacted will be lesser, so it’s not seen as critically important to take action against it. So that’s why antitrust laws only target the big ones.

I do absolutely disagree with Apple not being big enough though. iOS has a 30% market share in the mobile OS market according to statcounter, that ought to be big enough imo.

Not sure, I’m not familiar with the test, just figured I’d tell the results from asking the AI.

I think based on what you said about it

AI will actually TRY to solve it.
Human nature would be to ask if the person asking the question is having a stroke or requires medical attention.

That the Balanced style didn’t fail, because while it didn’t ask about strokes or medical attention, it did point out I’m asking a nonsense question and refused to engage with it.

The Precise style did try to find an answer and the Creative style didn’t realize I’m fucking with it, so I do think based on the criteria they’d fail the test.

Though, honestly, I’d fail the test too. When asked such a question, I’d think there has to be an answer and it’s stupid of me not to see it and I’d look for it. I think the Precise style’s answer is very much where I’d end up.

So, I asked this to the three different conversation styles of Bing Chat.

The Precise style actually tried to solve it, came to the conclusion the question might be of philosophical nature, including some potential meanings, and asked for clarification.

The Balanced style told me basically the same as the other reply by admiralteal, that the question makes no sense and I should give more context if I actually want it answered.

The Creative style told me it didn’t understand the first part, but then answered the second part (the turtles being blue) seriously.

I really don’t see the issue. So more users is bad? I thought our issue is the lack of users currently.

I’ve seen people complain about ads and data harvesting here. But instances can already do that. Meta joining would change nothing about that. Actually, being a proper legal company, it might be easier to sue them over misusing your data than random instances.

“Embrace. Extend. Extinguish”? Let’s stop between the last two steps then, not before the first one.

Kbin would be crippled by the amount of Threads content? I thought federation only happened if one kbin.social user is following a user on Threads? Should be as easily manageable then as Mastodon is currently. Or am I misunderstanding how this works?

To me, big sites federating looks like a clear advantage. I don’t really get the big problem.

but maybe that was a short experiment

Could be, I don’t click on Twitter/X links often so I could have easily missed that.
