Nice Windows key

I was actually just answering the person’s question and continued with a bit of rambling.

I use it and I like it. Also have a Chromebook which I love for the Android integration and ability to stream apps from my phone. Thus, I’d appreciate a more in-depth discussion here what this means for me, but all you see on Lemmy is circle jerk and hate. 🤦‍♀️

I agree with you, my friend.

They’re a platform company that provides services. They could build proprietary services on top of a Linux distro. Basically the same as they’re doing now with Edge.

How many Americans were killed by Nazi Germany vs the other way around?

Intentions and moral frameworks matter, not only the sheer numbers of casualties.

That’s a conspiracy. It’s not plausible at all why they would attack the US and then immediately agree to pay for compensation.

Consider reading or listening to this on the question of moral equivalence:

I think you’re lying about the “covering up” bits of this story. Investigations into the incident started right away, with the Israeli Air Force claiming that they had mistaken the ship for an Egyptian battle ship. As a result, Israel agreed to pay compensation as mentioned in the article:

In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3.32 million (equivalent to US$28 million in 2022) to the U.S. government in compensation for the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3.57 million ($28.5 million in 2022) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($21.3 million in 2022) as the final settlement for material damage to the ship plus 13 years of interest.

Is it just me or is this community heavily biased? I wonder if this pro-Hamas stance is really present on Lemmy or if there’s some bot activity going on.

After seeing this bullshit, I have an offtopic question: can you block accounts on Lemmy? Pretty sure I never want to read any other line of this guy in my life.

Can you talk more about this here by posting a good quality source?

I keep it as Ricky Gervais once put it: for a true religion of peace, the most extreme followers would be extremely peaceful.

Many Muslim leaders have called Islam a religion of peace. For example, the former Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb, has said that “Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance” and that “it is against all forms of violence and terrorism.” The current Grand Imam, Ahmed al-Tayyib, has also said that “Islam is a religion of peace and love” and that “it is against all forms of violence and extremism.”

Other Muslim leaders who have called Islam a religion of peace include the former King Abdullah II of Jordan, the former President of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and the former Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad.

Telegram’s official components are open source, with the exception of the server which is closed-sourced and proprietary.

Telegram was launched in 2013 by the brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov. Previously, the pair founded the Russian social network VK, which they left in 2014, saying it had been taken over by the government. Pavel Durov sold his remaining stake in VK and left Russia after resisting government pressure.

Telegram is registered as a company in the British Virgin Islands and as an LLC in Dubai. It does not disclose where it rents offices or which legal entities it uses to rent them, citing the need to “shelter the team from unnecessary influence” and protect users from governmental data requests. After Pavel Durov left Russia in 2014, he was said to be moving from country to country with a small group of computer programmers consisting of 15 core members. While a former employee of VK claimed that Telegram had employees in Saint Petersburg, Pavel Durov said that the Telegram team made Berlin, Germany, its headquarters in 2014, but failed to obtain German residence permits for everyone on the team and moved to other jurisdictions in early 2015. Since 2017, the company has been based in Dubai.

Recalibrate your irony sensors.

No vacation days in the first 12 months. Then 2 weeks of vacation per year, three weeks after 5 years of consecutive employment.

Damn, I’m happy to live and work in Europe right now, assuming that these are comparable numbers across the North American job landscape.

“Linus Media Group believes that vacation is a necessary opportunity for people to relax, refresh and recharge.” LMAO

The rules on sick leave look quite awful as well.

I have, partially based on scientific data like this. It’s okay that you won’t.

For a good service. God forbids!

A different platform would also be plagued by clickbait and sponsor messages.
