I’m pretty well informed in the area, but willing to learn. Can you please link to information about any time since it’s inception that Hamas has offered peaceful relations with Israel?

Israel has made peace with Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, Qatar, UAE, etc, often in exchange for Israel giving up land.

The 2017 Hamas charter reads:

Palestine, which extends from the River Jordan in the east to the Mediterranean in the west and from Ras al-Naqurah [Lebanon] in the north to Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat] in the south, is an integral territorial unit… Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea. …There shall be no recognition of the legitimacy of the Zionist entity. …At the heart of these lies armed resistance.

Which is nonetheless an improvement over the founding charter:

Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims will kill them until the Jews hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and the stone or tree would say: “Muslim, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him.”

Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from?

Hi, English isn’t my mother tongue so I was asking myself that question since I first encounted a w/… Back then I was like: “What tf does ‘w slash’ stand for?” And when I found out I was like “How, why, and is it any intuitive?” But I never dared to ask that until now

No idea, but it might be connected with shorthand, which was a common and sophisticated note-taking technique that allowed people, mostly secretaries in business, to write as fast as talking.

Dwindling fuel supplies for Gaza's hospital generators put premature babies in incubators at risk (apnews.com)

His life hinges on the constant flow of electricity, which is in danger of running out imminently unless the hospital can get more fuel for its generators. Once the generators stop, hospital director Iyad Abu Zahar fears that the babies in the ward, unable to breathe on their own, will perish....

So we are just pretending that Hamas didn’t steal all the humanitarian fuel reserves from the UN in Gaza? Just checking.

DDG makes a profit without tracking. Why couldn’t that become more standard?

Instance is like ISP. It’s an important part of the infrastructure, and in principle it does matter, but for 90% of cases it doesn’t make much difference.

Unpopular opinion I know. But lots of people who would love Mastodon never sign up because there is such unreasonable emphasis on choosing an instance. Just pick a large stable one, then you can switch if you want later once you get to know the platform.

I don’t fucking get on how Israel has never really tried forming a state in which both palestinians and jews can live in peace together.

That is literally what Israel is. 20% of citizens are Palestinian. They have the exact same rights as any other citizen, and representation in the Israeli Parliament.

As far as Gaza is concerned, Israel withdrew all settlers and military almost 20 years ago. Israel doesn’t want any part of Gaza, but the Hamas party who rules Gaza with an iron fist wants to invade and drive out Israel.

I agree. I have a very specialized knowledge in certain areas, and when I’ve tried to use chat GPT to supplement my work, it often misses key points or gets them completely wrong. If it can’t process the information, it will err on the side of creating an answer whether it is correct or not, and whether it is real or not. The creators call this “hallucination.”

It’s not the same as any job. It’s putting your face and your words behind something you cannot consent to. If someone spoofed your username and started posting offensive things, I’ve no doubt anyone would be upset. That’s just your username. Now add your real life photo, your face, and your voice.

You would have to be a sociopath not to care if suddenly your friends and family received a video of you performing offensive acts or shilling for a political cause you are vehemently opposed to.

Thank goodness they caught this one guy who made these videos without any distribution from a billion dollar company, which for sure did not make any money off of copyright material as well. Smh
