I have to get into using Passkeys. I use 2FA but passkeys confuse me.

So with all that’s going on in the world, politically, socially, etc. I’ve done my best to quietly stay on top of things. People ask me what I think about politics in the US, I might voice an opinion. But when people ask me what I think about what’s going on in the Middle East, I have to give pause.

But we can’t forget that it was the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

Never again means something.

Though, Netanyahu needs to go. His response was way over kill. And in a densely populated area like Gaza you don’t go in with a sledgehammer unless you want to obliterate everything.

Which, I believe he did and still wants to do.

What should of happened is that that IDF goes into Gaza strategically and takes out Hamas.

pch,
@pch@s3th.me avatar

What is happening in Israel and Gaza is horrible. There is no winner. On October 7th of last year (2023) 1200 Israelis were slaughtered and even more were kidnapped by Hamas. Israel had to respond.

Did Israel respond correctly? No. Did Israel possibly go over board? Yes.

pch,
@pch@s3th.me avatar

It might be bloodier from a soldier standpoint, but less civilians would have been killed.

I know I’m playing armchair QB here and I know I don’t have all the facts at hand. But what is happening over there needs to end.

But the blood isn’t all on Israel’s hands. Egypt could have opened its borders to the Palestinian civilians to escape. But they didn’t.

Let’s not forget that folks.

pch,
@pch@s3th.me avatar

There are bigger political forces at work here, like Iran.

The October 7th attacks happened right as Israel was in talks with Saudi Arabia to normalize relations. Iran and Saudi Arabia are enemies. So could that have been an impetus for the attack as well?

Also there was a clear breakdown in security. How the hell could an attack like this happen in a security state like Israel without a break down in communication in the defenses.

pch,
@pch@s3th.me avatar

I’ve hesitated to write anything for a while now. But I feel Iike I need to speak my mind.

I’m not a Zionist. I do think Israel has the right to exist. But I also think the Palestinians should have their own land too.

It’s really a lose-lose situation right now.

But chanting anti-Semitic slogans and being anti-Jew isn’t helping anything folks.

@RobUsdin @lauren yea. Hopefully Trump gets thrown in jail.

I didn't come up with Siren Affiliates overnight. It represents years of experience, both as a developer and a user of Affiliate programs.

Siren's unique affiliate program building capabilities makes it possible for your affiliates (and any other partner) to work together in ways that are simply not possible on other platforms.

Can't wait to launch!

@alexstandiford So excited for this. I think I'll use it for referral fees to Goldstein Media.

@alexstandiford Let me know if you want a beta tester!

@alexstandiford sign me up. Do you have my email?

@simoncox@seocommunity.social avatar

All sorts of nonsense going on with a site over the past week. Have a news story on a page that Google Search console is telling me is invalid AMP - tested it on https://validator.ampproject.org/and the code is valid. There are hundreds of posts on this site and has never happened before and the 4 posts following it are ok.

Then three news posts later Google decides to not index a new post because it disagrees with the canonical and chooses a post from 2018! They are completely different!

I have set a launch date for Siren! I am SO EXCITED, but this is definitely uncharted territory for me.

What are some tips you have for me to get ready between now, and the launch?

Noticed something... With and you need to update Pro before the base plugin. Strange. Otherwise Pro says it's updated but isn't.

Just re-upped my Perplexity.ai subscription... But I'm keeping ChatGPT too.

Mastodon friends… important poll (please boost for reach!)

The tables in our nearby deli have literal dried beans as decoration (see first reply to this thread for pics)

So…. beans? 🤔

@johnmu @mariyadelano very cool. Almost like wallpaper!

@mariyadelano @johnmu big beans too

ChatGPT. Using the same prompt from a few months ago. Before and after. It has gotten so much worse.

@alexstandiford @skc wow the difference is noticeable

Today was a huge milestone in our quest to federate and tear down the walls around our own walled garden.

First, we launched a new version of Flipboard for iOS and Android which brings the promise of two way federation to life. Now when a federated Flipboard user curates, people in the fediverse can reply, favorite, boost or follow those Flipboard users who will in turn see that activity in their usual notifications tab. Even better, Flipboard users can directly reply to people in the fediverse -- and very soon they will also be able to follow each other.

Second, we federated some of our best curators today who are actively curating more than 10,000 magazines about everything from climate change to kale smoothie recipes. I'm grateful to our many curators and the service they provide to so many others who want to find the best content about a shared interest. I know our curators are excited to have millions more people who could potentially benefit from their curation. I also know that people in the fediverse will give a warm welcome to these curators. Especially now that everyone can hear and talk to each other over what was once two totally separate networks but now increasingly are in one and the same .

Just heard a crazy stat... if, god-forbid, Trump wins again the ramifications will be felt for 30 years and beyond.

@shoq just saw this buddy. If I saw it when I posted it, I would’ve found the stat for you and sent it your way, but I have no idea where I saw this. I would delete this then it would leave your comment and orphan.
