They already do restrict you from using lemmy by charging full Internet price for it, and allowing special free data plans for Facebook.

Net neutrality matters.

DMCA is broken, intellectual property is a scam.

It is an intimidation technique, though.

I've refrained from even acknowledging Palestinian peoples struggle in public to reduce risk of being tagged as a anti-fascist, or pro-terrorist.

Pentagon. The security agency of the country vetoing ceasefire agreement in the UN security council, in favour of Israel attacks.

Independently of whom, exactly?

In our society people are acknowledged as human beings through consumption, and that need is hammered onto our heads by ads and beauty norms everywhere.

Belonging is a human need. Sometimes some cheap makeup is all it takes.

But also, the rich people are stealing from us in so much worse ways. A rich teen stealing from a rich corporation is kind of karmaeic, and really, even if she was caught, nothing significant would happen, whilst a poor girl doing the same would suffer a lot more.

Ergo, if you see something, no you didn't.

The beheading of babies is fake news, though. And use of fake news is signature tactics of far right public opinion manipulation.

Shit is complex, friend. :/

Except lemmy specifically is AGPL and it's basically impossible to monetise as a startup because they can't close the source code.

Kbin too:

They'd have to create their own from scratch.

The eye is the fucking whole argument for the stupid creationism. The most complex piece of machinery in the human body and shit.

That man thinks he's god, to create similar functionality.

Has he fucking tried to keep his eyes open in fucking cold weather?

Why not just use humans eyes outside of earth's atmosphere?!

He's just so fucking stupid. Rich and stupid. The shit he spends his "hard earned" money would be so much better and efficient if spent controlled by mostly anyone else.

Do you have rights to use and distribute product based on those patented seeds, though?

Intellectual property is a scam!

Reddit is the web we built. And fuck u/spez decided to give it away for money.

I miss Aaron Swartz and the open web. Let's rebuilt it again, on better foundations!

I was expecting to see it coming back online after a few minutes, given the name of the sub.

It is.

Lemmy NSFW should include more 69s.

Any argument based on "us vs them" is flawed by default.

They need the content to be available for Google indexing reasons, it can only really be blocked through the client.

A smart enough backend system can access/crawl/index it, just like Google can. And then make it available to the public without the front end annoyance.

Unfortunately beehaw users won't see your reply, friend. :(

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Sources for confirmation are the IDF and IDF provided pictures. https://news.sky.com/story/its-important-to-separate-the-facts-from-speculation-what-we-actually-know-about-the-viral-report-of-beheaded-babies-in-israel-12982329

There's also reports that there are ai generated pictures trying to support these claims: https://www.samaa.tv/208732623-fact-check-ai-generated-burnt-baby-image-shared-amid-israel-hamas-war

Wars do include a lot of misinformation, and everything is just so quick. We have to dismiss first, and try to find the extraordinary evidence. I couldn't. You can't prove something doesn't exist, or something didn't happen.

Unfortunately nobody got time to read everything in detail. We skim through everything and try to come up with some sense out of it according to our world views.

There's also strong opinions if open source instances should federate with closed source instances, for reasons of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

Don't forget URSAL.
