Netanyahu won’t agree to a permanent ceasefire. The hope seems to be to get any sort of long pause then push to extend and extend it so it is de facto permanent (and hope Netanyahu gets kicked out of power somewhere in there).

Seems like they missed the lesson of the trolley problem, then.

Hard to know what to do about it when the people who are the most susceptible to misinformation are often the ones who think they’re the least susceptible to misinformation.

And no I don’t just mean right wing chuds. I’ve found there’s a heavy correlation between people who are certain they are immune to propaganda and know the real truth and people who have, in fact, been conned by propaganda and misinformation. Conspiracy theorists, MLM adherents, antivax weirdos, homeopathy people … they’re all “doing their own research” so they can’t be conned.

The hubris is always a dead giveaway. A sort of Dunning-Kruger thing.

For what it’s worth I totally acknowledge that I can be and have been tricked by misinformation and propaganda.

This shit looks incredible! I almost never buy games on day 1 but I can’t resist. Hopefully my local Target will have it in stock on Friday.

As a lurker who doesn’t post much:

Improve the quality of the platform. Fix the moderation issues. Find a solution to communities being fragmented across multiple servers. Keep improving reliability. And so on.

Yes. There are innumerable topics and interests that don’t have a robust presence on Lemmy yet because the platform is just too small and niche. Lemmy is great for tech and tech-adjacent stuff but I still wander back to Reddit from time to time for sports, for instance.

Honestly the biggest long term threat to Lemmy is its technology not being able to keep up with its own success. Issues like bad moderation tools, spam, and fractured communities need to be addressed within the software platform itself.

This looks absolutely wonderful. My only mild concern is whether the badges & wacky wonder effects will be able to gel into one cohesive game (instead of just a parade of novelties and things that lose their luster), but reading about the long dev cycle of the game gives me more hope that all of the mechanics have a purpose.

Block out the sun, Mr. Burns style.
