Israel to open 3 aid corridors following Biden's call with Netanyahu

Reply in thread

They were specifically told the itinerary of the aid workers.

"All three vehicles were carrying civilians; they were marked as WCK vehicles; and their movements were in full compliance with Israeli authorities, who were aware of their itinerary, route, and humanitarian mission," WCK said in a statement Thursday.

I’m not sure how it can be accidental if you were told about it in advance.

And even if for a moment, that the person who aimed the guns didn’t know, it was someone’s job to make sure they did. Someone knew.

Canada also has its own population of total fucks. We keep them in the prairies. However like those states, it might be leaning more towards wanting that?

The reason it doesn’t disprove it is because the assumption “time travel works” is really just saying, if we ignore some basic rules of physics, what happens to what’s left? It’s a nonesense premise to debate what is basically nothing more than science fiction.

Could the rules we know about the universe be wrong? Absolutely! But discovering those new rules is what will answer that question. Till then, we might as well try and say Harry Potter is just quantum mechanics.

I think we should slightly rethink how login works on most Fediverse apps (Mastodon, Lemmy, but not only)

So who stores the login information? This is fundamentally the question here.

If you store it centrally you only need to ask for username/password combo.

But then someone needs to store it at a central location for everyone to check against.

If it’s not centralized than the user needs to provide it

Email has a hidden trick up its sleeve and that’s the domain name. In order for an email to be valid, the domain name must contain email info on its DNS records. There’s where you can imply knowledge about where the email/message is to go.

But here in lemmy, my email is just Gmail. There’s no way to find the information on where authentication could be located. Which brings me back to the top of centralization vs decentralization.

FediDB has stopped crawling until they get robots.txt support

Reply in thread

Robots.txt started I'm 1994.

It's been a consensus for decades.

Why throw it out and replace it with imied consent to scrape?

That's why I said legally there's nothing they can do. If people want to scrape it they can and will.

This is strictly about consent. Just because you can doesn't mean you should yes?

I guess I haven't read a convincing argument yet why robots.txt should be ignored.

I refuse to put the blame on individuals for climate change 100 companies are responsible for 71% of emissions

There are plenty of things for individual things people can do, but the responsibility rests on corporations for this mess. And it can’t be individuals to clean it up.

And before someone starts saying that corporations only driven by individual consumerism, what other choice do we have? They literally make things to break more.

It’s just greed at the end of the day.
