I’ve been using their service for two years now. It’s open source and encrypted, and the upload speeds exponentially improved.

Throwback to when they announced releasing a simple phone. Fun times.

The existence of lemmy.world which you’re part of, proves that lemmy tolerates right-wing instances if you ask me.

Make use of the decentralized nature of lemmy, the devs won’t knock at your door for creating or posting on right-wing instances.

“evil corporation” is quite the tautology.

Neat! Thank you for sharing.

No it doesn’t, only system packages are admitted as viable options for WebView, hence the need for root privileges.

I am intrigued to know what is the original message.

I see myself blowing up a pipeline.

Give Vimusic a try!

Where did you get your info from?

Mahmoud Abbas, president of Palestine and head of Fatah, was the one to suspend both legislative and presidential elections and not Hamas. In fact, the latter “strongly opposed the decision to call off elections” (npr.org).

Abbas’ party has been working closely with the Israeli authorities. His excuse was that “Israel refused to commit to allowing Palestinians to vote in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem” (npr.org).

Some (quite convincingly) hypothesise that the suspension of the elections was aimed at preserving his presidency and salvage “his fractured Fatah party [which] was expected to suffer another embarrassing defeat to Hamas.” (apnews.com).

How can one expect the people to not fight if democracy can’t be exercised freely?

Indeed, anything else would most likely be equivalent to brushing the underlying issue under the carpet. Though there is nothing wrong in backing up the cause with an ICJ opinion. And the fact that the UN General Assembly voted in favor of such an opinion is clearly indicative of the shift of narrative.

There is a pending Israel-Palestine ICJ advisory opinion which can potentially prohibit the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and therefore politically delegitimise the Oslo Accords.

That being said, many of the court’s judges are from Western states and close allies to the US.

I am afraid that this has been a scam since the beginning. At least you can hope that they made good use of the money.

Al-Jazeera is a media network owned by Qatar. It provides international voverage of news but naturally focuses on the Middle East region. Its political inclinations may vary depending on the country they’re broadcasting to.

But generally speaking, it is pro palestine and anti imperialist. Evidently, its narratives may change with Qatar’s geopolitics. For example, Al-Jazeera directed in the past a lot of criticism to Saudi Arabia, namely the war in Yemen and the murder of a certain journalist.

Ultimately, every media outlet has certain biases which is how journalism is meant to actually be. I can partly attest to Al-Jazeera’s high quality journalism.

I haven’t yet watched the entire video (in fact, I didn’t pass two minutes) but right off the bat she assumes that economies were originally (and always) sustained by a bartering system, a presumption as old as capitalism. Many scholars prove that this was not the case. This repetitive anecdote only serves to create an imaginary problem to justify the necessity of capitalism later on.

I might edit my post as I watch the rest of the video.

Edit: “but that’s another story,” a story which she will actively avoid because it overturns the entire mode of production on which she a priori built her fantasies.

Edit 2: her conflation of capitalism and “progress” is very problematic in its own right. She’s basically saying that without capitalism there could be no “progress”, no “innovation” and no “civilization”. The only way to progress is through capitalism. I am reminded by what Mark Fisher wrote on capitalist realism, which is a “widespread sense that not only is capitalism the only viable political and economic system, but also that it is now impossible even to imagine a coherent alternative to it.”

Edit 3: she writes in the description that “[t]his video is a brief summary of a dip I did into microeconomics literature in a dark hour of my life.” It shows.

I religiously played back in the day Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland on my ps2 for hours. I’d also play Mortal Kombat: Armageddon and AoE II.

Weirdly enough, I appreciate the fact you listed them in the alphabetical order.

Exactly, I had to exclude Jerboa from the firewall since many instances started using cloudflare.

I was in a similar spot and gave up before starting. This is due to several reasons: 1) My circle of relatives and friends, like yours, neglect their privacy and would not engage with me in a serious conversation regarding it; 2) educational institutions, businesses, organisations and even governmental bodies may rely on WhatsApp for communications; and 3) the two big telecom monopolies offer enticing mobile data deals for using WhatsApp.

While I am not saying you should give up, you should go for modest goals (e.g. converting your close family to signal when chatting together) and eliminate optimistic expectations so you don’t get crushed.
