And, frankly, this is one of the least morally concerning things Israel has (presumably) done. The pagers were targeted specifically because they were used almost exclusively by Hezbollah.

Lula Brazil is very different from bolsonaro Brazil
Oh they absolutely do, but ml has a reputation for being particularly poorly moderated
This is literally about a judge fining the diplomat half a million, though?? Like isn’t this literally the exact opposite of that
Holy moly
Has Kim been transphobic? Or is this just you generally hating techbros (not that I’d really consider him a techbro tbh)
They are somewhat right about the fact that the vaccines haven’t been sufficiently accessible in Africa to actually tackle the crisis, though
Though it is worth noting that the original commenter very nearly hit on an important point: the vaccines are not accessible enough to communities in Africa, especially in the poorest - often the most impacted - regions.
Mpox is something we could have stopped long ago with a better system of distributing/purchasing vaccines, like with tuberculosis.
It is true that when these diseases reach Europe, North America and East Asia, these medicines suddenly start being distributed far more effectively, since that’s where most of the companies that manufacture them are based, and since the countries there are wealthy enough to effectively do so, but only now that it’s an Us Problem™️
Too little, too late, though, in classic Congress style
The Myanmar Rohingya genocide was nearly a decade ago now, and we’re somehow still at the “asking Mark nicely to do a better job of moderation” step, somehow
I guess the police at least are able to order Facebook to remove it (sounds like that’s what happened) but then yeah, as you say, I expect they will have just escalated to the county/state police, if anything
Yeah, and it also somewhat happens as a consequence of building military infrastructure there too. Military bases need people to staff them, and those people need food, water, entertainment etc etc
I kinda disagree - that’s not to say that they don’t usually do so for illegitimate reasons (or that these bans are legitimate), but there’s plenty of valid reasons why a government would want/need to ban a platform
X, for example, has been giving the UK a whole lot of good reasons why they may wish to consider it (restoring the accounts of people like Tommy Robinson, allowing misinformation, the owner of the platform himself actively spreading that misinformation)
Covfefe
Yes, it’s a joke
Well, yeah, if you have to do the things yourself and take direct responsibility for them, then your proxies aren’t very useful
offering its young people jobs in the state
Greece moment
I’m a big sway fan - it’s the Wayland equivalent for i3
Customisation takes a bit of time (as with all these sorts of things) but it was very stable for me once I had it set up
Taylor swift?! You’re proposing a literal billionaire as a more radical candidate than Harris?
That doesn’t exactly count when it’s occupied territory lmao
Yeah that’s a fair point wrt non-militant roles, my assumption was that they were primarily used in the military since their purpose was to avoid the issues with mobile networks being used to track them.
But we don’t know exactly how the devices were distributed, so you’re right that there were potentially a large number of non-military Hezbollah staff.
