The opposition is just as genocidal and 90% of Jewish Israelis(80% of the population) believe appropriate or not enough force is being used.

Elections won't change a thing.

Old.reddit still works

We're still doing that and I would argue that we are no more peaceful, we just now have a NIMBY approach to conflict

Fast charging is 100% convenience for the end user and marketing material for the company. Fast charging is just dumping more electrons into a battery quicker than slow charging. I don't think battery tech has adapted that much to be able to handle this so AFAIK we're just normalising abusing our batteries. Did read an article that batteries that we're slow charged, also discharged slower as well.

Gonna add on to this, most people are right in saying get a low amp charger(amps are the more important that volts afaik) 1A is easiest to source but did see a .5A one time. Don't leave charging at 100% for long periods of time.

What is missing from the comments IMO is anyone talking about how you use your phone. Minimise screen time and bloated software that is always running/sending data. Lineage (or graphene OS since you're on a pixel) with no google apps will prolong your battery. For now I've just got some banking apps, molly(signal fork), jerboa and slack on my phone. My 3000mAh battery from 2016 is now lasting over 24 hours instead of less than 8 hours when using mainstream social media apps.

It is an insult to a people suffering from a famine Americas ally has manufactured, to drop 1% of the needed aid(and kill people doing it) when you could stop the famine by letting the hundreds of truck in that are sitting on the border......

But they are useful and completely valid ways of dealing with the problem.

It is not the end of the world if I have to click am extra once or twice to change the language. Hell most websites have much harder processes just to reject cookies.

Personally I would rather err on the side of slightly extra work the odd time I'm not on a website not in my native language than have an extra bit of information that can be used to track me.

Again take a look at the Gemini protocol, its a perfectly fine browsing experience without all the cruft.

Most people probably didn't consider the internet something that could be monopolised at the start either.

We have the same view on private social media.

IMO we should treat this like any other instance that goes against what we want to see on the fediverse, defed it on all the main instances and if someone wants to access it they can have a threads account or an account on a small instance that is federated with them.

Some non privacy considerations:

• mod workload increasing to unsustainable levels with the overnight addition of millions of users
• meta would be a large enough instance to be considered a monopoly of the entire fediverse
• the fediverse goal of putting control of social media back in the hands of users would no longer be possible if companies controlled the majority of the space

I mean that's already happened with hexbear to a certain extent for IMO very little reason and of course happens to fascist instances understandably.

It should be up to each instance but if there was a vote tomorrow on lemm.ee I'd vote to preemptively block any corporate instance.

I just used it as an example since it's pretty much the lingua franca of the internet and it's what we are currently using. The same argument applies to any other language.

My main point with that bit was that a lot of content exists on the internet without any translated versions and the world hasn't ended because of this, look at non English Lemmy instances.

Some widely spoken language I imagine, Chinese, Spanish, English I don't care. Since .com is intended for commercial use, the language of the companies biggest market makes sense here as well.

You're also forgetting that the likes of google.ru, google.nl and google.every_other_country_code exist.

Also there are plently of websites the have language selection in the site that overrides that header, look at Wikipedia.

There are plently of sites in non english languages that cater to non English speakers only, not every site has or needs 10 different translations.

At this point we also have translation engines in the browser so for pages in languages you don't know, that you absolutely need to access, you can use it to understand the page to a decent level and/or be able to navigate to a version in your language if available.
