That’s 2 million people a year btw.

No, you have an incredibly, ridiculously privileged rich-person life style that cannot apply to the vast majority of people. I don’t know why you think medical bankruptcy is the number one form of bankruptcy in the country and why over half of homeless people are disabled, but it’s not because most people can magically finance themselves out of the crippling reality of the economy.

‘Feeding the hungry’ is an evil CIA plot when the US State department made them hungry.

And yes, as a brown person now in a 3rd world country (technically second world, but anything not white is third world to you people), I do care about the crimes the US does to the country I’ve been adopted into; including what USAID has done.

Pretending any thing the US has ever done has been done out of benevolence is, at best, pure willful ignorance. Ask someone in a country that has been affected by USAID why USAID was necessary sometime. Go on.

USAID killed more brown kids in third world countries than most US programs. It was built by the CIA to destabilize countries and foment dissidence towards unfriendly governments (that usually aren’t able to provide for their citizens because of US sanctions anyway). Let’s not pretend it is bad for the world that this is gone; it is just amazing there are no longer any intelligent republicans that understand US foreign policy and allowed it to go away.

Both sides aren’t as similar anymore, as in Republicans literally stopped paying attention to the intelligence community and what they do to project US military imperialist power across the world and accidentally are helping the rest of the world break free from US imperialism; but ‘both sides’ want the exact same thing, ones just no longer intelligent enough to hide it behind doublespeak.

Seriously pretending USAID was a good thing is like pretending the NED promotes democracy or the US has ever been the victim in any conflict.

No, 55% of millennials own a home or have a mortgage. These are not the same thing, though they are counted the same by most statistics, especially those that want to pretend the economy hasn’t gotten progressively worse since 1968 which was around the peak of America’s golden age economy.

If you have a mortgage, you do not own your home. It can and will be taken away from you the second you are disabled or otherwise out of work. Over a fifth of chronically homeless Americans were ‘homeowners’ at one point during their lives. Until you have a paid off home you have no possible financial security. You’re infinitely better off than anyone renting, but you are not as good as a boomer who had their home paid off within five years of starting their mortgage.

If this were 'murica, just 2 two bedoom apartments. But it’d have to be uniformly distributed.

Congrats on not being brown, or from a third world country

So does self-flagellation, but we don’t provide default whips in the Kernel.

Pure bloat. I will be personally switching to the Hurd Kernel just because of this change.

To me, the real tragedy is that a shared identity really could be forged between these two groups. In another world, I can imagine a beautiful fusion between the Israelis and Palestinians, like two trees growing around one another.

That existed before 1929.

The idea that people breaking the law do not always get caught means there is no law is ridiculous, especially when you state people are being arrested for it.

Israel is not israeli people, the former of which has no right to exist, the latter of which exists as a temporary and exceedingly new political fiction.

Supporting any Palestinian group in Germany in public will get you arrested. All Palestinian charities are banned due to links to ‘terrorism’ (aka the actual government of the gaza strip which any organization would have to work with in order to do things, you know, like how all states work.)

Just certain instances. There is no ‘one’ lemmy.’ which is the entire point of federated services (despite what .world admins think).

Most Lemmy instances are fine for most discussions of most things. .World is by far the most restrictive and most like reddit and other zionist-owned and ran services. Because it is owned and run by zionists. See !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for wide ranging examples and reasons why .world is insane.

In general this is the only reason you need to pay attention to the instance you’re on. If you, as a .world user, frequently start posting anti-zionist rhetoric like ‘Maybe we shouldn’t kill children or use literal fucking rape-trained dogs on prisoners’ you might find yourself banned or shadow banned pretty quickly.

Just like if you’re too right-wing to understand why capitalism is bad, and you repeat neoliberal propaganda against socialism as a .ml user, you’d be banned.

The only really universal rules for commonly federated lemmy instances is no CSAM (ignore ani.social) and don’t send death threats/hate speech (unless you’re a .world admin and the target is palestinians, I cannot stress enough how much the entire lemmy.world admin team hates brown people native to the land of Palestine that are currently being genocided by the terrorist settler state of Israel and it’s dog the United States.)

If it were about ‘basic rules of sanitation,’ then there wouldn’t be regulations against installing your own electric and water when entirely off grid.

Regulations should not be: 'You need to hook into this sewer line, and also you need to build your house exactly like this in order to qualify to hook into the sewer line. You decide against stick framing? Congrats we won’t approve your building which would be safe otherwise because our local code enforcement isn’t actually an engineer and can’t read architect and engineer approved blueprints because they look different than the corpo slop that has been rubber stamp approved for the last decade. Just want your own septic and not hook into sewer at all? Fuck you. Hire our state-approved service to do it (and pay 30,000% more than it costs to do the job) or you won’t get approved. Want to do anything interesting or long lasting? Fuck you. The state-approved builders we’re going to make you use can’t do that. ’

Those rules are to perpetuate capitalism (and because nepotism flourishes at low levels of government.) Not to promote safety or sanitation, especially in the middle of nowhere. Most Regulations should be applied on sale or transfer. Not during building or living on the property. Because for 99.999999999999% of human history in pretty much every place that’s how that’s worked. You bring it up to standard when selling or transferring, because who cares if YOU die, it’s only a problem when it starts to affect others.

It really is. WebASM is miles beyond what you’re probably thinking of in terms of browser based performance, and most companies these days do not have local applications installed for their office workers. Office 365 is by far the most popular version of office, and it’s entirely browser based. Most in-house corporate IT work from the last decade is electron wrappers of internal company websites acting as simple interfaces for actual heavy lifting.

While there’s definitely some apps that are a bit too heavy for WebASM (or just javascript/.net for the above examples) this list is vanishingly short these days. I’d say blender and other 3d rendering would be inefficient just because WebASM has weird interactions with anything other than OpenGL and Vulkan, But even Unreal 5 can export to WebASM and do it fairly well (as well as OpenGL can perform, that poor outdated thing).

Heck just go to itch.io or any website that has ported over games to WebGL/WebASM. You can run Half-life directly on your browser these days. Half Life of all games. That’s more demanding than anything not 3d that you’d run in an office.

Counter-point: Cubeless and platforms like it are close enough to a browser and handle that. Also by the very loose definition of secure encryption, https.

Most software can effectively run in a browser at this point, and the bit that can’t can be self hosted on a server and then cast to your browser.

Most likely your software will work via bottles or wine. If you have a desktop PC from the last decade and it cost more than $1k, you can also run a VM (or Winboat) specifically for your software with nearly 1:1 performance to bare metal (if you get the passthrough right.)

Which isn’t a permanent solution, mind you, but if it’s just one piece of software holding you back and you don’t care to play with alternatives, then the solution isn’t to keep Windows despite its terrible performance in 99% of things, it’s to switch to windows and emulate or compatibility layer the 1% of software you might use that requires windows.
