gabuwu,

I spend a lot more time on it since I am an instance admin. (not on this account or instance though)

RFK Jr. denies comments on ‘ethnically targeted’ Covid-19 were anti-Semitic (www.politico.com)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic running against Joe Biden in the Democratic primary, sparked controversy after reportedly suggesting that COVID-19 was genetically engineered to target Caucasians and Black people while sparing Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese. Kennedy later denied the allegations of racism and...

Everything I’ve learned about this man has been against my will

NC bill would help parents remove school leaders, prosecute librarians (archive.ph)

The North Carolina Republican Party introduced a bill that would give parents more control over their children’s education. The bill would make it easier for parents to access instructional materials, prosecute librarians, and remove superintendents. The bill would also require schools to inform parents if their child begins...

gabuwu,

True evil.

gabuwu,

Finally I can ditch outlook and still have a nice UI!

gabuwu,

Looks like chromeOS a bit.

gabuwu,

Please take care of yourself. We seriously appreciate you and everything you’ve done, same goes for all other staff. This past week has immensely stressful across the lemmyverse and no one blames you at all for needing to tap out from all this. A lot of people are expecting lemmy and lemmy instances to be like reddit 2.0, but that’s just not humanly possible. It also feels like lemmy as a software has had it personally out for beehaw… kind of like a murphy’s law situation.

gabuwu,

Not gonna lie, this makes me deeply uncomfortable. Kabbalah is just a word for Jewish mysticism. It is closed practice and non-Jews aren’t supposed to delve deep into it, not because Jews have this weird sinister desire to hide this hidden knowledge but because it has gotten us murdered in the past. The word cabal is specifically in reference to Kabbalah. Alongside that, most resources on Kabbalah you find online is deeply inaccurate or completely misinterpreted outside of the specific Jewish context. Within the religious context of Judaism though, there is a commonly held opinion that non-Jews who attempt to study Kabbalah will be driven to madness by it.

gabuwu,

Which apps are specifically turning into fediverse apps? Very curious.

gabuwu,

Here's to hoping microsoft decides to allow them to move on over to lemmy.

gabuwu,

This was to be expected like most other decisions that came out today but still disappointing nonetheless. Only serves to show just how much public confidence for the US surprise court as a viable institution has gone out the window due to how little surprise there is.

gabuwu,

Like I said, it will backfire. When people get refused service for MAGA hats or because of being Christian they will throw a fit bit they dug the hole for themselves here.

Colleen Ballinger's apology just dropped, and the worst influencer apology ever has been finally achieved I think (yewtu.be)

This is unreal. She's been accused of years of grooming minors for those unaware. The allegations she's facing as well as those around her is intense, with potential legal consequences in the making. Major content warning to those who seek out articles on the matter, of course. She's had a pretty successful Netflix show, and I...

gabuwu, (edited )

I'm sorry did I read this shit right? It's coming to what? And doing what? This is the worst possible application. This is going to end up killing someone, especially with the bias that is already extremely prevalent in medicine. I hope Microsoft and Nuance are prepared for the potential of roping themselves into a landmark AI biomedical ethics court case.

gabuwu,

It still feels very bad to implement in this medical setting whatsoever right now in its current state. Not to be a luddite, but it's just far too risky no matter how small it may be in that industry. I know it's a given and it's already being done regardless though.

gabuwu,

They are going to cause issues sooner rather than later in communities that don’t defederate from them. It’s quite literally just a given. I’m shocked some of those instances haven’t defederated from them already.

gabuwu,

I think the whole attitude of "oh just block the community and ignore it" really comes from a privilege of not having to deal with the way those communities tend to intersect negatively with vulnerable communities when they were ignored on reddit and the mess that caused. Blocking their biggest communities from your own account does not stop them from giving them the potential to join discussions in bad faith, DMing threats, open up potential doxxings, community brigading, harassment, etc. There comes a point where simply ignoring them does not work as they always try to force their bullshit into communities outside of them and stir trouble if they aren't cut off preemptively. You aren't deplatforming them by defederating them, you are taking away their megaphone and potential to cause real harm those exact communities have shown to do time and time again in the past.

gabuwu,

Yep. And (obviously) America is going to one day be forced to come to that same understanding that Germany was painfully forced to. I’m just hopeful it doesn’t take a genocide or some sort of dictatorship for a similar reckoning to occur. Germany might not be perfect, but there are many things American society could learn from that exist within modern day German culture especially in regards to cultural reconciliation with historical wrongs. It’s hard to really describe how happy it makes me feel that as a Jewish person I can say I would feel very safe and welcome living in and visiting most places in Germany, but it also makes me sad to an immense degree that I can truthfully say I’d probably feel safer most places there than in the most places in the states right now… :(

gabuwu,

His videos are always so random but somehow so entertaining and peaceful no matter what completely random thing he decides to talk about. My man could explain the mechanical differences between industrial farming equipment or something and I’d eat that shit up 100% without any questions.

Germany's far-right AfD wins district for first time (Sonneberg, Thuringia) (www.reuters.com)

BERLIN, June 25 (Reuters) - A far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) candidate won a vote on Sunday to become a district leader in Europe's biggest economy for the first time, a breakthrough for the party which has hit record highs in national polls....

gabuwu,

This feels quite bad. Anyone here with a bit more knowledge on current German politics able to shed some light on how bad this truly is though? Like, does this seem to be an omen of what's to come or will time only tell?

gabuwu,

I feel extremely silly asking this question, but I am truly curious: Isn't Nazism illegal in Germany? And if so, why exactly hasn't AfD been banned yet? Like, is it a matter of them carefully using plausible deniability, dogwhistles and skirting JUST enough beyond the laws currently to not be labeled Nazis?

gabuwu,

iPhone 13 mini. I’m so sad they discontinued the mini, it’s the perfect phone for me so I’m holding onto it until it dies which seems to be coming soon :(

gabuwu,

It feels quite strange reading this as a Jewish person.

gabuwu,

Fascism is what's going on.

gabuwu,

I have to be honest this is honestly terrifying rather than being funny. It brings back memory of Pol Pot, Khmer Rouge and that regimes persecution of those perceived to be well-educated, from those who wore glasses to those who spoke foreign languages due them making an association with those things being a part of the Bourgeois.
