Report: Francesca Albanese has described the conditions facing Palestinian children sheltering in rain-flooded tents in the Gaza Strip as "the disgrace of our era".

Albanese criticized the failure of European political & diplomatic leaders to uphold humanitarian principles.

Every European learns Primo Levi's words in school & forgets them "the moment they enter the world of politics or diplomacy."

(b) this is totally anecdotal, but as someone who has been teaching computer programming to adults for ~20yrs or so, the biggest obstacle that students face is not that the material is difficult (even when it *is* difficult), but that students are *culturally predisposed to a belief that they're not smart enough to program*, which acts as a permission structure for giving up. (this is peculiar, because no one having trouble in a knitting class thinks "i guess i'm not smart enough to knit")

This November is getting interesting.

5. November general strike in #France.

20. November general strike in #Italy.
21. November countrywide protests in #Portugal
23. November countrywide protests in #Belgium,

here's a take that'll please no one: the belief that computers are difficult to use—especially foss and tools related to programming—is mostly constructed by politics and marketing, not by any inherent characteristics of the software. reasoning: (a) people master very complicated and user-hostile processes *all the time*. knitting, driving a car on the interstate, playing a musical instrument, being a baseball fan, using the subway—all just as complicated imo as (e.g.) learning the command line

@ben No, I'm not being a creepy weirdo, it must be the Chinese government controlling my video-game, that's the much more sensible and obvious explanation

@f4grx @tezoatlipoca @gsuberland @azonenberg definitely don’t breathe that stuff in but pure uranium is less radioactive than the ore it came from 😅

@TheBreadmonkey @Akki isn’t that simply Dick in a box, from SNL?

In fact I hear that lately PieFed.social even applies a user-level instance block against Lemmy.ml by default for all new joiners

I don’t think this is true. I looked through the code and the only specific mentions of lemmy.ml are in the instance chooser, where it won’t show you the full defed list of an instance, but (I’m guessing) only the most commonly defederated.

The default interests list even includes some lemmy.ml communities.

I could be wrong though. @rimu@piefed.social probably knows for sure ;)

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

On your forehead.

@drfoklghdklifgmodfhgvbkladnf We think it wasn't originally going to have MTE since they wanted to use their own custom cores and cache but didn't want to bother with it. They cancelled that and used standard cores and cache but never implemented MTE. That's based on news coverage of leaks which showed MTE was being dropped to cut costs and complexity along with leaks from Googlers saying the same thing. It's a major factor in why we thought it wasn't present rather than just gone from firmware.
