‘We will fight with our fingernails’ says Netanyahu after US threat to curb arms (www.theguardian.com)

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah....

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

This meme is trash.

Philosophy asks “What is?” There is literally a field of philosophy called ontology about the question of being.

Man, STEM folks are ignorant af. I say that as a STEM-philosophy double major.

Divide by 150. It’s more like $200 these days due to a weakened Yen.

They still have excess money from COVID. — They’re still spending it down. Housing prices are up, stock prices are up, jobs are plentiful

How much money do they think people have left over from Covid?

People got like $3200 total in stimulus checks - or a couple months rent in most parts of the country. There is no way most people have this money 3 years later.

Also stocks and home prices being up is good for some people (old) and bad for others (young).

What’s the plan if we run out of oil? I mean seriously, it’s gonna happen eventually. Even if you want to ignore the science on climate change, you can’t ignore basic laws of the universe that oil is a finite resource. If we don’t have a plan for when it runs out, there will be utter chaos.

How the US Is Destroying Young People’s Future | Scott Galloway [18:06 | May 02 2024 | TED] (youtu.be)

In a scorching talk, marketing professor and podcaster Scott Galloway dissects the data showing that, by many measures, young people in the US are worse off financially than ever before. He unpacks the root causes and effects of this “great intergenerational theft,” asking why we let it continue and showing how we could make...

phoneymouse,

Incredible video. Well said. Needs to be said. Hope some older folks see this.

phoneymouse,

It doesn’t matter if they’re actually “breaking” laws, the government will find a way to make sure they are. It’s the subject of the protest that they don’t like.

phoneymouse,

You wonder how far this slide right can continue. Rather than resigning, every Republican who doesn’t like Trump, Gaetz, or MTG should hold on to their seat and try to right the ship. Otherwise, we just end up with a crazier and crazier bunch.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

I personally don’t care if people want to be vegan and sometimes I’ll eat vegan food. For me though, on the whole, I find vegan food unappealing. It usually involves compromises and doesn’t taste that great.

Additionally, I did eat in a house of vegetarians for about 10 months once. I ate meat outside the house on occasion, but mostly ate vegetarian. It was really hard on my stomach. After meals, I would usually have crazy gas. It did improve over time, but always was an issue for me.

For these reasons, I don’t prefer veganism or vegetarianism. It’s okay if you do though.

Edit: for vegans wondering why they’re hated, I think the downvotes to this comment summarize it. Above I’ve expressed a view perfectly tolerant of veganism. I’ve even tried some of it myself, but don’t find it appealing. Rather than just accept that someone else has a different dietary preference than you, you shit on them. If you want to be tolerated, be tolerant.

NextDNS is basically pihole as an actual DNS. You can configure your own blocklists and allowlists. They also provide pre-built blocklists, some even from AdGuard itself. As for privacy it supports encrypted DNS like DoH and allows you to choose the logging policy for your requests. You can have no logs, or some logs for a certain retention period (ex. 30 days). You can also choose which country your logs are stored in (ex. Switzerland). You can see your own logs and even analytics about your requests. There are loads of other features as well.

I’d like us to just remember the Iran hostage crisis and the Carter/Reagan Election. Carter negotiated in good faith to try to get the US hostages released. It didn’t work because Reagan had paid the Iranians some $40 million through Earl Brian to keep the hostages until after the election. Just an hour or so after Reagan was sworn into office, the hostages were released. This tipped the scales of the election.

Why do I bring this up now? Because the situation with Israel and Gaza is bad for Biden. He knows it and seems to be trying to do something to stop it. However, it is really in Trump’s interest, and even seems to be Israel’s plan anyway, to keep the war going as long as possible. For all we know, Trump is paying off Israel to not agree to a ceasefire.

So, just keep in mind who is being hurt by the situation and who has more to gain from the war going on indefinitely.

If you ended up with a file open and don’t know how to get out, there’s a good chance you shouldn’t be changing that file in the first place.

phoneymouse,

Most thermostats would fail in that timeframe. Our original Nest thermostat failed this year because the connection that turns on the furnace wore out or became thin. Caused our furnace to click on and off repeatedly and ruined a relay on the furnace’s circuit board. Had to replace the thermostat and the furnace circuit board. Costly repair. Upgrade your thermostat before it wears out.
