Interesting read, too. Thanks! To bad we have to fight about “who came first”, which becomes a “chicken or egg” question in my humble opinion. Instead of just living together and share the space. Like we do in most parts of the world.
;-) Or maybe we have to “give back” the area to the Greek (sea) folks?! But there is always the problem about where to move all the people to …
Oh, ok. Sounds bad, sorry for you! - I am not using OneDrive. Neither paid or unpaid.
Right, I am totally aware of that historical bias. Thanks for the reminder anyway!
And I agree with most of your description. - Just making it clear: I am especially not basing my point of view on “the Bible stuff”, but the broader historical information. So, the basic knowledge which is generally accepted by historians holds for me. Hence the reference on Wikipedia. (It’s science. You trust the facts. And the cross-checked information. Until proven otherwise by new discovery.) About the details we can (and have to) discuss.
PS: Your image link is not working.
Intrigued by your newer posts, I had to see what your parents said earlier. - Wow, this definitely sound like a hard conspiracy theory! Difficult to believe.
But I want to mention, that if you look up different news outlets (even from Israel itself), that is has been established for months now: The Israeli intelligence/military and a bit later Netanyahu had some knowledge about the upcoming attack.
This is still being investigated. And sure, many details are hard to trust and the actions very doubthful. - I am unsure, if this will ever be cleared to the full extend. Unfortunately.
Well, as far as my history knowledge goes, the term “Palestine” for the region was introduced by the Romans. I thought, that was more well known? - Here, quoting from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_(region)):
Roman authorities renamed the province of Judaea to “Syria Palaestina” in c. 135 CE to punish Jews for the Bar Kokhba Revolt and permanently sever ties between Jews and the province.
Ah, right. The article also states that the term has been used by the greek Herodotus in the 5th century BCE. So it was probably known and used some time before the Roman conquest of the area, I suppose?
So I guess, the statement from your parents seems mostly right. Maybe just framed bad. Unclear why this is a Zionist take, if it’s just the documented history.
Unexpected Monthy Python reference. Nice.
Really? What apps in particular? Asking, because I have not come across “extra payment for unrequested AI” yet.
Great diagram in general. Do mind to crosspost this in c/map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz?
Are you sure about the description? There was none in the Telegram post, as far as I saw. To me it looks like an “E-300 Enterprise” UAV, although some photos look different. The bomb might be correct, it is even on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAB-250 It is interesting what old and new technology they are using and combining. Really creative!
hmmm, an agenda? I am not aware I have any. Only here to discuss the topic and get other opinions to understand better. Just being here and chatting with all the folks, even the aggresive ones, already prooves (to me) that I am challenging my point of view.
Sorry, if I gave such bad imression on here. But may I ask some questions, as I find your critique a bit vague? - What do you think is my pre-held belive here? What angenda are you impying? And where am I ignoring evidence or moving the goalposts specifically?
Fully agree, that is worrying and they should not get a foot inside. Better if we would find some safe algorithm or independent moderation to filter the content according to law and ethics. And some independent payment service might also be helpfull, but no blockchain type, please. After all these years, I still don’t understand the hate against LGB… groups. But it surely looks like the hunting the witches, Roma or Jews in the past. The are a distinctive minority and thus a good target, unfortunately.
@cosmo@lemmy.world, you have solid good points here! - Yes, the laws are democratically set and don’t need extra intereference by VISA, Mastercard or else. It is just my opinion that Valve has been very liberal on his marketplace and not removing critical content themselves. I think, that is what led to the interference in addtion to lobbyist behind the payment processors.
Yeah, my comparison was flawed. But I got the idea across. Right, the transaction process is not transparent, especially not without publishing the “hatelist”. - Especially good point here with the ethical aspect! There seems to be some double standard by VISA etc. about what is acceptable and what is not. I disagree with that, of course, as I still believe in ethical values also when consuming games. ;-) So enjoy you porn game, als long as it has legal themes.
Actually, I am convinced. The article was bad and confused my inital kowledge about the issue. But thank you all for the (mostly) civil discussion. The petition unfortunately is outside my jurisdiction, so I can not sign. But I will keep an eye on the topic.
Did some quick search and it turns out: There was controversy about revisionism and right-wing talking by the original lemmy.ml admins (and founders). Hence, everyone coming from there with fresh accounts immediately get’s the “idiot label”, is insulted and downvoted. Not a very welcoming gesture in such a supposed open, liberal and new community of geeks. - It seems, we can either change instaces, delete our accounts or ignore it.
You’ve got some good points here! These standards are usually enforced by law, just Valve/Steam is extremly liberal on his marketplace. But I fully agree, then the other bodies do not need to interfere, especially when they are so hard to be checked.
Edit: Still, in some way, I wish that companies throughout every service chain would implement and follow these moral standards and laws. And follow though, if they find negligence by other parties. (Kind of a “check and balance” thing.)
Interessant. Danke!
Ok, yes. They are quite “heavy-wheight”. And I might agree with their action now, but maybe another time it might be problematic for me. Also, that’s how Capitalism works: The one with the money decide. But then, we should put pressure on them and not Valve! And the question remains: How would you solve that technically? (This is what the community is about. And I am looking for solutions, not problems here.)
Oh, interesting! I know the poem. But I find it a harsh comparison to the situation about Valve’s new regulation. And I did not see it as such a highly-charged political topic. But apparently it is. To me it does not look like “a monolitic corporation”, as you can still buy games elsewhere. But I surely see the influence that the big banks/transactors have on Valve here. - But how would you limit this? Any technical solutions? On the other hand, if Valve would have implemented stricter rules for critical games themselves earlier, we would not have that problem/discussion now. (Please also see my other answer below.) Edit: Typo
Alright, I understand your point. But I only partially agree with it. Hear me out: You want a free marketplace to buy whatever you wish, without any dictations? - But any market or shops you can think of has some regulations and dependencies, right? The one who offers the platform dictates what and how it is traded, as far as it has been. And even more if banks or transaction processors are involved, who also have a say. Not ideal, I agree, but the norm. How do you want to technically solve this? By their own transaction service, like some suggest here? Not sure if that helps, because you might create a new monopoly.
And at the same time, we discuss this here, people demand transparency and environmently responsability for all the delivery chains. Like for clothing or food. - Is that not what happens here? The banks as part of the service chain are pushing Valve to implement stricter rulings about critical content. For me, that looks like what people would ask for. Correct me, if I am wrong.
What does my account origin has to do with that? Please explain. No, I don’t want to live in an authoritarian world. But I appreciate businesses following certain moral standards, like banning child porn in every aspect.
You are correct and incorrect at the same time. It’s a nerdy joke. Please see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_ite_domum
