Those two parties are cooperating, aren’t they?

One of the PFLP’s songs refers to America as the “Head of the Snake” specifically, which is coincidentally not actually dissimilar from Benjamin Franklin’s own choice of political symbolism — except Franklin, radical that he was, chose to represent the Thirteen Colonies as a whole snake rather than just the head.

In any case the PFLP didn’t choose to hate the USA, in the same way Ned Kelly didn’t choose to hate cops. Acting like the PFLP’s hostility to the USA is completely irrational and literally just came out of nowhere helps nothing except Septics’ cognitive dissonance about the nation’s grotesque banditry abroad — it’s just wilful ignorance, it’s pure and simple “My Little Pony logic” to act as if the world’s anti-Americans are just Evil Changelings who hate “a beautiful land abounding in the Magic of Friendship” for no reason other than that it is “a beautiful land abounding in the Magic of Friendship”.

Never think that geocentrists were stupid. They were wrong, certainly, but they were not stupid: while it doesn’t take much intellect to initially conclude that Earth is the center of the solar system, it does take a very great amount of intellect to rationalize away the mountain of evidence to the contrary.

This is not a comment about people who voted or are planning on voting for Kamala Harris — this is an entirely unrelated observation about a completely different topic.

It isn’t like American elections are in any way real or the government of the United States gives a fuck about the people who live there.

Pfft! Obviously elections in the USA are legitimate. After all, every single US state and electoral district is situated entirely on land that the USA legally annexed, right?

My recommendation is PeerTube.

I noticed this last night. Playing videos not from YouTube still works fine. This affects Piped as well.

This had happened previously a different time, which is why I tried reconstructing my music playlists with Soundcloud uploads until YouTube started working again.

Hell yeah

K-On!

The key just to the left of the # key, i.e. the A key in the default Thumb-Key layout, should have a ▲ for the upward swipe. That swipe is how you get into shift mode. Swipe up on that key again to enter caps-lock; swipe down on that key to release the shift/caps-lock.

That’s a bit mean, I think Lemmy is pretty good all things considered.

is there a point where I will be so comfortable as to not need to fear misspelling something without this crutch of autocorrect?

I can’t speak for how long it will take you specifically, but yeah, I absolutely think you can get to that point. I don’t really remember how long it took me to learn, but it couldn’t have been more than a few weeks, and I think I had some factors which were working to my advantage, anyways. Have you adjusted any of the settings?

• Thumb-Key — A flick keyboard for mobile phones; a FOSS alternative to MessagEase created by Lemmy’s own Dessalines. It’s not perfect, neither was MessagEase, but for what it is it’s pretty damn good and definitely beats using a mobile QWERTY keyboard.
• Ibis — A federated wiki created by Lemmy’s own Nutomic. It’s currently pretty barebones with little activity, but I’d like to see more interest in the project so that it can grow and improve. I think it has a lot of potential.

I can see why. Although the stars occupy a larger portion of the sky, they are also further away than the moon. So either version of the phrase makes sense in its own way.

as they say - shoot for the stars, and you may just land on the moon.

I’ve only ever heard, “shoot for the moon, [and] even if you miss you’ll land among the stars”, which is the phrase as it was first said by Norman Vincent Peale. But maybe swapping “moon” and “stars” is a common enough variant of the phrase that I just haven’t heard before.

I’m honestly curious about what abuse potential this has compared to other federated platforms, because “it could be used to host dox” is a complaint that I’ve heard about Lemmy as well.

Why the heck would it be referring to the Israeli special forces? It’s obviously in reference to Thoth.

Cause they seem to be hating on pretty much everything LGBT related.

In which case I might phrase it as “bizarrely, vitriolically anti-LGBT comments” or something
