My concern is more the possibility of defining disinformation in some politically conveniemt manner.
Its already happening. In fact, looking at it from a wider perspective than nowadays teenagers are often able to, the modern "fight against disinformation" is just fighting propaganda with one's own propaganda. And if you read the Hittite and Egyptian descriptions of Battle of Khadesh, it isn't really a new thing either.
The two-year war in northern Ethiopia resulted in approximately 100,200 deaths before an African Union-brokered ceasefire was reached in November 2021, a new report reveals. In comparison, the Ukraine-Russia war that began in February led to 81,500 deaths, the same source added.
Duh. I keep hearing about a war in Ethiopia since I was born, approaching 4 decades.
In the meantime, the war in Ukraine is just 5 hours from my home city.
So of course I will be interested in a war between a nation that tried (and succeeded in a way) to conquer my country previously, a conflict that is so close that I could easily drive to the warzone in less than a day, than in an eternal conflict in Ethiopia.

Documentation and examples are not for other people. It is for me so when I use my `SuperUsefulTool.sh``, I actually know what it is doing, how it is doing, and if it stops working, I can fix it.
Because the sequel removed something that some people complained about. The individualistic behaviour and different patterns of different hero types. Now they are all braindead.
On Reddit, browsing r/All by new would show so much spam, it was really pointless if you just were looking for content. One relied on reddit's algorithm to show you new stuff you hadn't actively searched for. The nice thing about Kbin, and the threadiverse in general, is that you can browse m/All by New as see genuinely...
Well a lot of stuff posted on here seem tech related
I am subscribed to the tech-related magazines, but their content is only a speckle of what is posted on reddit, even after a bunch of tech people migrated. And the discussion is also less interesting, on Reddit there usually was a number of lengthy posts explaining the background and commenting on the news, not much here. At least in the magazines I subscribed to.
Most stuff on the main page is just circlejerk about how kbin/lemmy has is so much better (community, content, discussions) than Reddit. I don't find that interesting at all.
So far it feels like the fediverse is full of immature children who are more interested in validating their own opinions rather than deep and lengthy discussions about topics.
I wouldn't say necessarily more, since fediverse lacks tools to find interesting content in the first place, and everything is still in the wild west area, but certainly, if you dislike a book, movie or a dish, it tells something about you. It would be however prudent to not make a boatload of assumptions about the consumer.
Yet, there always has been a good journalism, either very quality reviews describing well the game in question, or very funny articles making fun of a game that is otherwise boring or bad.
I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...
Even with this extended definition, your argument fails the most important criteria for genocide with the UN definition which is:
The intent is always hard to prove. But I am glad that you agree that the only difference would be the intent ;)
Yet, if you read about some cases, you might see that the intent was not always proven or obvious, and some cases are considered genocide even without intent. For instance, take Holodomor, which is being more and more recognized as a genocide, even though unintentional. But I am happy to talk about other cases.
That is not more nuanced those are plain facts. OP is plainly lying.
She is accused and jailed for voluntarily being a part of a smuggling operation, even when she was explicitly told not to do so by the Italian government.
Compared to completely normal rescue efforts when a boat or plane capsize, when workers are trapped in a mine, when someone is lost in the mountains, or when a bunch of nobodies are taken hostage by a criminal organisation, be it local or abroad.
Again, this is not nuance, those are commonly known facts that OP is lying about.
I'm very beginner of Linux server admin. Few days ago I set up snap version of nextcloud server app on my own Ubuntu VPS server, and I found that Snap system might be focused to build original file system hierarchy in /snap directory, and I felt a little weird about that....
It's the Canonical way, just as with Mir, Upstart, Unity, and a bunch of other NIH Canonical projects.
A commonly repeated lie.
Mir, Upstart, and Unity all precede or are parallel to the other project. While Wayland technically existed when Mir was created, Wayland wasn't very active at that time. Upstart was replacing init, systemd was created later and draw inspiration from Upstart. Unity was replacing Gnome 2, Gnome 3 was released a year after Unity and was a mess. Finally, Snap and Flatpack are more or less parallel, both solving a different issue, with Snap being a more system-level solution such as for drivers, IoT, while up until recently, Flatpack couldn't handle command-line apps at all, concentrating solely on GUI apps installed through GUI appstore.
I would like to have a "Local" filter to only show kbin magazines. It would be listed with "Subscribed", "All", etc. That way I could filter without tuning Federation off in the settings.
I would like to know where certain thread that I can see is from. I can see it if I look on the link, but not otherwise. In fact, plenty of threads say that they are on kbin.social, while being on lemmy. Especially if they present a link that leads somewhere.
I would like if I can have not one, but several customizable main pages/views. Like on Reddit or Twitter, one for subscribed, so I can see content just for me, one for all, so I can see active threads in community, and the suggested local is also great. This doesn't have to be baked-in, but something where I can customize multiple views would be great. This could be added to the "hot, new, active".
