User tomi000@lemmy.world gave me the best explanation when I asked what the rationale is for Trump’s tariffs:

His logic is: I walk into a store and buy a hat for 10$ and sell them a shoe for 7$. This means the store ripped me off by 3$. To counter this, I will add a tarriff of (3/10)/2 = 15% to all business I do with this store so they dont dare sell me anything in the future.

How is discoverability in PeerTube? That was the sticking point for me with PeerTube as with Mastodon last time I looked. It was not easy to discover what’s out there.

We need sites that are decentralized and make clear where their funding comes from. In the end, users need to be prepared to fund the services they use to keep them honest. This is especially true of video which is very expensive to host.

YouTube on mobile is intolerable these days. NewPipe is the way for Android, though Google is in a constant battle to disable it.

“Sorry kids, but people are stupid.”

It’s always unclear whether he’s deliberately destroying the West in the service of Russia, or whether he’s just unwittingly destroying the West in the service of Russia. That’s his great mystique.

Although by leaving Russia and only Russia out of these tariffs he may have just made himself a little less intriguing.

Preventing total exploitation harms corporate short-term profits.

Yes, you missed that the bullets were aimed at specific parts of their bodies, so not just an assault on the ambulances: the medics seem to have been dragged out of the ambulances then deliberately shot in the head and heart, before being thrown in a mass grave. And at least one of them had had their hands and feet bound together before being shot in the head. This is a planned and deliberate execution of 15 medical professionals. Maybe the Israeli soldiers lined them up by the grave then shot them.

Ethnic cleansing is pretty popular in Israel:

80% of Israeli Jews support US President Trump’s proposal to ethnically cleanse Gaza, survey finds

The message is: don’t do business with the USA. Find other, more reliable trading partners. It may be a loss in the short term, but bowing to fascist imperialism and white supremacist ideology will be a much bigger loss overall.

Yes, it makes a lot of reasonable people antisemitic just because they can see what Israel is doing to Palestinians. Since the policy then can’t be enforced consistently, this kind of situation gives a government a pretext for punishing anyone they dislike for other reasons. It’s still useful to governments to have laws almost everyone breaks, and that are seldom enforced, because then they can choose when, and against whom, to enforce them.

Ah, of course, it’s not real antisemitism: it’s the kind where you say mass murder and genocide are just as bad when perpetrated by Israeli Jews as they are when carried out by anyone else. And this seems to be part of a worldwide trend that goes along with the lurch toward fascism, for governments to decide they can kick out and disown their own citizens because of their inconvenient political views.

I think they meant you’d have to design a combination of hardware that’s all compatible with Linux - that is, that has Linux driver support.

Sure, but why not use the names of the actual current Russian intelligence services? FSB, GRU, etc.

She lives in Australia, so the crash may have happened there.

The KGB hasn’t existed since 1991.

Israel is run by fascists. Most Jews are not fascists. But these fascists would love for you to conflate them with “Jews” in general so they can accuse you of antisemitism. Don’t fall for it.

Problem is the people waiting to take over from Putin. They’re not at all nice.

George W. Bush convinced Americans that France was an enemy for a while, and his supporters lapped it up. Today Trump has large chunks of his cult believing that Canada is an enemy. There’s apparently no limit to the absurdities and poison people will swallow if their beloved cult leader tells them to.
