Does this account for imports/exports of goods?

Iceblade02 ,

That’s usually the argument leveraged against platforms that don’t fold to demands to deplatform individuals with reprehensible views.

The good old “You’re either with us or against us” spiel is excellent at destroying any nuance.

Oh it’s a problem here to. You do not want to know how much information is passed on through rapidly scrawled sticky notes in our healthcare system - particularly in emergency situations.

Hamas Wants Guarantees Ceasefire Will Actually Happen, While US Says Hamas Is Rejecting the Proposal (truthout.org)

Following the UN Security Council vote to approve a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza, U.S. officials and other international allies of Israel are cynically placing blame on Hamas for a stall in current ceasefire negotiations — even as Israel has insisted on indefinitely continuing its massacre in Gaza and Hamas has said its main...

Iceblade02 ,

Would still be better to agree to a temporary ceasefire whilst a permanent one is negotiated.

Iceblade02 ,

Netanyahu is not the end-all-be-all of Israeli decisionmaking. Unlike Hamas, the Israeli state is a democratic institution. If an agreement is formulated between that guarantees the Israeli citizenry that Gazan islamic terrorists won’t repeat an october 7 massacre in the future, Netanyahu will not be able to stop it. Time is what is needed to create such an agreement.

However, as always, Hamas prioritizes their own interests above those of the Gazan populace. They know very well Israel can not realistucally agree to an unconditional, permanent end to hostilities, as that was the situation that led to october 7th in the first place.

At the minimum I would expect a permanent end to the war to be conditioned on Hamas releasing the remaining civilian hostages.

Iceblade02 ,

An Apartheid is not a democracy.

Even if it were, those aren’t mutually exclusive. Most, if not all democracies are flawed in some fashion.

But still the war cabinet fully supports what Netanyahu is saying here.

So much so that members have been on the verge of resigning several times. You underestimate just how frail Netanyahus position really is.

So you are correct to point out that it is not just Netanyahu but the israeli government that does not want a ceasefire.

It does, just not at the terms Hamas demands.

The rest of your comment makes no sense.

I’m perfectly willing to clarify. If there is something you fail to understand, please highlight it.

Here’s what the UN says on the matter.

Israel is a democracy with well-established and independent institutions…

In the occupied Palestinian territory…

So at least in the reality where the UN exists, Israel is a democracy and the Palestinian territories are occupied (as opposed to annexed).

I’d love to hear more about the reality that “we” (you and your woefully uninformed friends I presume?) are present in.

A good/skilled driver is not necessarily a safe driver & vice versa.

For the pinnacle of that statement, look up the “suicide evo” on YT.

Iceblade02 ,

To be fair - a whole month of anything is excessive

Iceblade02 ,

Touché lol

Iceblade02 ,

I prefer lemmy but miss the niche communities. The Swedish national community for instance, roleplaying communities, niche game communities etc.

Iceblade02 ,

Liberty means freedom, not only from government,s,but from authority in general. Corporations, religious organizations, criminal organizations, political organizations and other people.

Iceblade02 ,

Yeah, I honestly give very few shits about the political opinions of the lemmy devs as long as it doesn’t taint the project itself -and if it did at some point in the future, forking an open-source project is stupidly easy.

I even donate a smidge of money to the development effort via librepay - man does need it to live after all.

Dessalines & Nutomic put a lot of effort into building and maintaining the lemmy codebase. I respect that.

Iceblade02 ,

You have any tips? My power consumption on battery is ~30% higher on linux than they were on windows

Iceblade02 ,

French culture has a long and bloody history specifically centered around getting rid of religious rule (read christianity), and implementing laws that essentially amount to freedom from religion. This is unlike a lot of other countries which focused on freedom of religion.

When large muslim communities form, this often leads to the imposition of their religious expressions upon others. This specifically clashes with French culture, where religion is a private matter, for private spaces. Hence why many french react strongly when muslims complain about how the very laws they relied on to rid themselves of the yoke of Christianity is somehow specifically discriminatory against them.

No, it’s not discriminatory against islam or muslims in particular. It’s a defence mechanism against the imposition of regressive, anti-humanist values on the general population by organized religion.

Iceblade02 ,

The real protip is always in the comments 👍

Iceblade02 ,

Not necessarily. Folks in developed countries have much greater opportunities to rack up debt and large negative equity. I would not be surprised if the bottom % are made up of students and gamblers that in practice have a far higher standard of living due to their access to money, relative to the developing world where people with a “net 0” balance are starving to death.

Iceblade02 ,

Was there even a ceasefire to begin with?

Hamas has been shooting rockets at Israel for years, and Israel has been bombing Hamas as well.

Iceblade02 ,

I hope you realize that you in your comment advocated for the killing of at least half a million people.

Iceblade02 ,

Why exactly would they remove the fence? Lots of countries (particularly ones with hostile relations) have similar constructions on their borders.

Iceblade02 ,

In the Scandinavian countries this sort of software is usually provided by the school/university, so the students don’t have to buy it. You may however be (essentially) forced to use that software, since other options aren’t supported. The exam software my uni uses for instance only runs on Windows & MacOS.

Iceblade02 ,

Yeah, tragically that’s the case with many of the enviromental movements where I live as well.

Iceblade02 ,

Are you suggesting people culturally removed from your own are a threat to you in some way?

I can rather confidently say that there are cultures with values that are a threat to me, my society and my values, yes.

Cause damn. That’d be embarrassing.

Not in the slightest.

Or are your own police not more violent to their citizens?

No. For a very long time our police was amongst the least violent in the world. Probably still is.

What is it that allowing immigrants in doesn’t improve?

It reduces the productivity of society. Most certainly on an output/capita level, probably even on a total output level. Previously we were able to afford huge amounts of support to organizations such as the UNHCR (almost 1% of GDP) - money that could be used to make the places these people are moving away from better. That isn’t the case anymore.

The solution isn’t to move everyone to developed countries, it is to improve the situation in developing countries. We can’t help with that if our country is an unstable mess of migrant gangs attacking each other and the rest of us.

Iceblade02 ,

It’s amazing how quickly you resorted to toothless personal insults when you ran out of relevant things to say. Would be sad if it wasn’t so funny. Thanks!

Iceblade02 ,

If crimes are being committed disproportionately by expats, we should look at the economic situation of those committing crimes vs other demographics, as there is a large crossover.

So that leads us to the question, is it expats commuting more crime or is it poor people committing more crime as expats are generally also in the poorest section of a society.

Sweden has amongst the most generous welfare systems in Europe and the world. If higher crime rates amongst migrants was caused by economic poverty, Sweden should have lower crime rates in these groups than other countries. However, this does not seem to be the case.

Iceblade02 ,

Yeah he was much better a while back. Though that can be said for most of youtube. The algo messes up everything

Iceblade02 ,

It certainly doesn’t. Google (and most other search engines) modifies your search results based on account history (if you are logged in), fingerprinting of your browser, cookies (including 3rd party) as well as the general location of your IP address. The last part you can try out for yourself with a VPN -you’ll get different results for the same search query from different countries.

This is usually why I prefer direct links to source my statements.

Iceblade02 ,

Of course they do - only thing is, doing that in war generally makes you a combat participant and voids whatever rights you had as a non-combatant.

Iceblade02 ,

Hi and apologies for the late reply - /c/[email protected] moderator @jordanlund removed my comment and gave me a temporary ban for the comment you replied to citing that it was “Pro-Israel propaganda”.

First off, thank you for posting this link - and no, I’m not interested in discussing them. My point was that users should be held to a higher standard when posting as moderators than the rest of us.

I will however give a comment on the contents of the cited webpage. I read through the statements from decision makers (These seemed most relevant), and they did (in my personal view) not amount to intent. However, as law4palestine highlights:

The ultimate adjudication of this matter is contingent upon the determination of a competent court.

Personally, I want to see a full investigation by the ICJ conducted, and if they do end up with an indictment, those responsible brought to justice.

Iceblade02 ,

If it sounds too good to be true - it probably is.

Iceblade02 ,

Many EU countries did that experiment already during the '10s, and we’re living with the consequences. The actual solution is creating a society more suitable for people - which is difficult.

Iceblade02 ,

Until you realize that somebody can make up a fake version of themselves, or pay for “extra benefits” or whatever. I too like the idea, but I’m afraid it’s already been ruined.

How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of...

Iceblade02 ,

There are archaeological finds of buildings from more than 9000 years ago (oldest in the region).

There’s a church that was finished sometime during the 1200s and is preserved in its original form in the municipality, but technically it’s not within town limits.

The main church was also initially built around that time but was rebuilt in the late 1700s - nothing of the original remains.

The cellar of a royal farm still remains, which was built in 1552, though it’s more a ruin than a building.

A castle/royal manor was built in 1652, and although it has been renovated and expanded in the early 1700s, parts of the structure are still from the original.

So, I suppose it depends on what you’re looking for.

who is on Lemmy (the sociology of Lemmy)

I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.

Engineering student in Sweden.

I just hope there won’t be a terror attack in Malmö during Eurovision. There’s a huge amount of police and security involved, but Malmö also has a problem with islamic extremism.

Iceblade02 ,

I’ll second what @Tobberone wrote, and also elaborate.

Violence from religious extremists has been a problem in Sweden for several years now, and the war in Gaza has escalated the situation even further. I’ve a family member living in a larger city whom I worry about - particularly because they choose to be open about their jewish identity. There have also been threats against the university I study/work at, and against public transit - one of the many reasons that I no longer use it. As such, I tend to keep these sorts of considerations in mind.

However, I’m glad you don’t have to worry about such things.

Iceblade02 ,

…I don’t bother worrying about things that haven’t happened and that I have no evidence will happen.

Two known foiled attacks in Sweden during 2023;

svt.se/…/terrorplanerna-mot-sverige-som-har-stopp…

Along with an attack in Brussels specifically targeting swedish citizens (two shot dead)

svt.se/…/kristersson-m-allt-pekar-pa-att-terrorda…

…and plenty of other attacks in the past ten years.

Furthermore, Säpo (security police) estimates there are roughly two thousand salafists in Sweden willing to use violence to overthrow democracy and institute sharia law.

sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_i_Sverige#Radikalis…

For context, given the Swedish population of 10 million, that’s roughly one per five thousand. Quick math makes it ten in my hometown and thirty in the city where I work/go to university - odds are that I’ve met at least one.

It has happened and there are plenty of people willing to perpetrate new attacks. I’m willing to bet a lot of money that it will happen again, maybe not at eurovision, but it will happen. So, yes, I worry and I take precautions (similarly to how I wouldn’t walk in certain parts of town at night).

Iceblade02 ,

Scandinavian countries are not “super socialist” - sure, we have robust social welfare systems, but these are funded through taxation on regulated market economies with private ownership. That is not socialism.

I know that there were some experiments with trying to transfer into a socialist system here in Sweden during the 70s (I think?), but those failed in a spectacular fashion and were rolled back. They are the reason that many famous “Swedish” brands such as IKEA aren’t actually based in Sweden.

Iceblade02 OP ,

Thanks! Next step is getting equivalents for all the software I use and figuring out proton.

Most of them (thankfully) are foss, but I’ve a few without equivalents.

Iceblade02 OP ,

But b-tree file system sounds way less fun!

It’s already cemented itself as butterfly system in my mind lol

Iceblade02 OP ,

Mint was 2nd in line on the choice list, so not far off!

Iceblade02 OP ,

I’ll go have a look

Iceblade02 OP ,

It suggested 200GiBs for root, which seemed a bit excessive but I didn’t argue

Iceblade02 OP ,

Haven’t tried. I did use Mint on a second laptop a while back, and that was nice, but I wanted something with KDE Plasma this time

Iceblade02 ,

From what I saw when visiting in the 2010s, it’s comparable to Europe. It’s pretty much the only MENA country where lgbt individuals aren’t legally persecuted.

Iceblade02 ,

Basic traffic liability insurance sorta makes sense - it’d suck you had your car wrecked by someone broke and were SOL.

Iceblade02 ,

Our government will forcibly insure you if you don’t have one, so technically you don’t have to buy anything. It’s just more expensive than anything on the market.
