20 million people die from starvation, lack of access to clean water or preventable disease under capitalism EVERY YEAR.

These are solvable problems but its not profitable. 1/3 of food produced globably is thrown away. We’ve plenty of solutions for access to water. Preventable disease, it’s in the name.

Old.reddit still works

It is an insult to a people suffering from a famine Americas ally has manufactured, to drop 1% of the needed aid(and kill people doing it) when you could stop the famine by letting the hundreds of truck in that are sitting on the border…

But they are useful and completely valid ways of dealing with the problem.

It is not the end of the world if I have to click am extra once or twice to change the language. Hell most websites have much harder processes just to reject cookies.

Personally I would rather err on the side of slightly extra work the odd time I’m not on a website not in my native language than have an extra bit of information that can be used to track me.

Again take a look at the Gemini protocol, its a perfectly fine browsing experience without all the cruft.

I just used it as an example since it’s pretty much the lingua franca of the internet and it’s what we are currently using. The same argument applies to any other language.

My main point with that bit was that a lot of content exists on the internet without any translated versions and the world hasn’t ended because of this, look at non English Lemmy instances.

Some widely spoken language I imagine, Chinese, Spanish, English I don’t care. Since .com is intended for commercial use, the language of the companies biggest market makes sense here as well.

You’re also forgetting that the likes of google.ru, google.nl and google.every_other_country_code exist.

Also there are plently of websites the have language selection in the site that overrides that header, look at Wikipedia.

There are plently of sites in non english languages that cater to non English speakers only, not every site has or needs 10 different translations.

At this point we also have translation engines in the browser so for pages in languages you don’t know, that you absolutely need to access, you can use it to understand the page to a decent level and/or be able to navigate to a version in your language if available.

Fuck that shit.

• You can do language codes in the URL to serve different versions of content
• If your browser can do TLS then it should be able to handle gzip content or alternatively if the internet didn’t allow cookies and scripting in your browser then it would have been safe to use TLSs built in compression

Check out the Gemini protocol if you want to see that a lot of HTTP spec stuff is completely unnecessary

I’m not a fan of either and would advocate everyone not consume large amounts of video content because of how heavy it is from an environmental point of view and move away from corporations from an anticapitalist/freedom point if view.

Let’s not kid ourselves though, as shit as twitch is, it does not come close to having the same grip google has on the internet and our lives.

Peertube is a completely different platform, perhaps you’re mixing it up with YouTube clients like newpipe or invidious?

On what?

There is nothing on there that you couldn’t find an equivalent of in text form(web or paper) or in the millions of hours of TV and film available on and off the web(both legal and not so legal) or on other platforms like twitch/nebula/peertube/lbry.

I’ve got too many atm, fb messenger, insta, discord, signal, SMS.

Signal is what I’m trying to push, not sure if it counts as decentralised 🤷

Looking to consolidate rather than tack on another that I don’t think anyone I know uses.

Already using libre wolf with containers so not sure how much of a benefit I’d get from moving to an app.

Again back to minimalism I’d rather move away from it completely than have to have a another service to continue using discord. Could change if I start using matrix.

Instead of going fedi I’m going minimal.

Reddit -> Lemmy, with the caveat that time spent on here is minimal, to be reviewed at a later date.

xitter -> nothing, nitter.net if I want to read a xeet linked by another resource. Ultimately for me micro blogging social media is a time suck with little return.

discord -> still on it for a few different reasons, not sure if I’ll set up matrix just to do a bridge, privacy and minimalism are clashing here.

YouTube -> nothing, invidious if I want to watch yt content. Short or low quality video content is another time suck, try and keep video streaming to a minimum for environmental and mental health reasons.

Netflix and others -> the high seas (it is decentralised)

Gonna give you my honest two cents.

You come across as a cunt whenever you police who can use neo pronouns based on how they look or act.

Pronouns are something people should be free to explore.

Hopefully being able to look into the topic without prejudice will allow people to discover their own queerness and/or empathise with people that do use them.

Neverind that that is bad faith to argue that hexbear enforces neo pronouns, trad pronouns or anonymous can be used.

Do you mean the civilians at the festival that the IDF admitted to killing on the 6th?

Peace is a white mans word.

Injustice will continue to happen under peace, just as it has on and off for 75 years in Palestine.

Liberation is the term used by black civil rights activists in America. Liberation is the tern used by indigenous rights groups the works over. Liberation is the term used by anti-colonial movements. Liberation was the term used by the resistance in ww2.

You trying to paint someone advocating for the oppressed as a Nazi is one of the laziest piece of shit moves when you don’t do the same for those perpetrating a genocide.

Hitler did not liberate Germany, you’re projecting your genocidal views on the rest of us.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/liberation

an occasion when something or someone is released or made free:

The first fucking example:

the liberation of France from Nazi occupation

And you’re a bootlicking fool who’s argument doesn’t even hold true to what we’ve seen in Israel.

Even after what Israel and western media have made out to be the biggest horror of our time, Israelis are still risking police violence and imprisonment to protest the injustice of Israels actions.

I’d rather preserve my rights because if I lose my rights, I can do jack shit for anyone else.

You might as well have lost them for as much good as you are doing for anyone else.

I support liberation you just support peace so you can sleep at night.

There can not be peace without liberation and violence is a tool to be used when every peaceful method has failed.

Violence got Irish Catholics self determination and equality in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Violence got the civil rights movement in America to where it is now.

Violence keeps neo-nazis underground in a lot of places.

Resistance to oppression is not an end, it’s not even a means to an end. It’s a right enshrined by international law.

No, there was a massive Arab immigration into the area following WW1 and the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

and the fall of the Ottoman Empire

This was a claim you made it turned out to be false.

The claim that there was mass immigration after ww1 I don’t think can be proven because the first modern census was in 1922.

I’d love for you to provide a source for your claim and prove me wrong.

The Ottoman empire ended in 1923, your claim was that there was a huge influx of refugees from this collapse than population of Palestine at the time.

The data doesn’t back you up.

If you want to find data that counters what I’ve posted then knock yourself out.

Germans sympathetic to the Jewish plight would’ve helped their neighbours and friends no matter what Jewish resistance was doing.

Do I have a fetish for violence or do I just believe that oppressed people should be able to fight for their rights like those before us did.

Are you are happy to have your rights and pull the ladder up behind you?

If you don’t allow those who’s rights are being trampled on in the most horrendous ways to fight back you condemn them.
