If you go over to astroturfed reddit, there is no shortage of topvoted comments cheering the IDF for bombing children by saying "they're all hamas."

The same rhetoric Hamas probably used to justify killing Israeli civilians. But it's okay if Israel does it, because you know.

I'm trying to access the modlog for https://lemmy.ml/c/worldnews but it either loads forever or returns a "Server error."

It works when I don't access it through my instance: https://lemm.ee/c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

Does anyone else have this problem? Is it intentional?

I believe, wholeheartedly, that governments pay people to astroturf reddit.

They've gotten it down to a science at this point. Something I always notice now is people arguing against arguments that don't exist. They'll be like "I can't believe people are saying x" when nobody is actually saying x.

It's that kind of manufactured outrage, the kind that makes people feel like they're missing out, that causes them to pretend to understand what's going on in order to fit in.

It's sad and disgusting, but I don't even bother with reddit anymore. It's too obvious that everyone there is either a shill or an idiot.

Lemmy appears to have gotten all the high-quality posters that reddit used to be good for.

Texans are some of the most delusional people on the planet.

For some reason, even the democrats there think it's better than states like Florida. It isn't.

The only state that is objectively worse than Texas is Louisiana, and that's saying something.

Sounds like they need to update their system.

Maybe it's just me, but in the digital age I don't think there's an excuse for systems like this to be too difficult to change. Heck, if you designed it like an idiot, then you deserve to pay the costs to fix it.

I know Japan lives in the stone age when it comes to governing, but that's simply not an excuse. Do better. Take money from your ruling class to fix these issues.

It's do-able. Let's get off our fucking hands and do it.

Japan is a very regressive nation.

Racism, classism, sexism, transphobia, xenophobia, you got it all in Japan and most of them are proud of it.

But how will the already-profitable company make more profit at your expense?

Sounds like terrorism.

No. It's not even a legitimate democracy when there are any representatives. Just look at how often Congress goes against the will of the majority.

A legitimate democracy would be direct voting, but most people who support democracy don't support it.

I wholeheartedly believe the vast majority of the hype surrounding sports is from gambling.

I just updated to KDE 5.27.8 and now icons don't light up, the date doesn't light up, and neither do icons on the taskbar anymore.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Does anyone know a solution?

I used to love these as a kid. Been looking for them forever, found them and see they don't see them anymore. Are there any alternatives? Preferably something I could get at Walmart.

Eh. They deserve it.

Always funny seeing rubes be like "it's on this streaming service" or "I don't have that streaming service."

You can stream pretty much anything for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/

All you need is uBlock Origin.

Seeing the discussion always center around paid streaming services just shows me how stupid the average person is these days. They're proud to pay more, for less. Lol. I guess that's why they're called useful idiots.

Yes, but why should it?

Israel can pay for its own genocide.
