This entire summit is a farce.

Always have liked their videos. You got a new subscriber!

They have clearly linked their source as BBC. Also, pretty much all major publications have reported on it. Here’s a report by AP: https://apnews.com/article/brazil-heat-wave-climate-environment-wildfires-1e4714fb2c6566120c13cf4e2b657f7d

A person can be outraged by both. This is not a competition.

Well, Israel is bound by international

The entire issue here is that they aren’t. They are openly committing war crimes in breach of international conventions and none of the self-appointed guardians of democracy in the West seem to be batting an eye.

If it was any other West Asian country doing this, the entire West would be denouncing them and taking action. But because its Israel doing it, this is fine.

No idea. Someone in lemmy seem to have a grudge against me and seem to have set up bots to downvote my posts. They are not counted by kbin though, so I am alright. Let them have their fun lol

You have understood us well!

‘Maya’ means ‘illusion’ or ‘magic’, and not really ‘deception’ as OP says.

This might be true, but I will take anything that comes from Larry Sanger with a pinch of salt. Dude has been pretty much exclusively hanging out with right wing nutjobs since 2020 and was at one point spreading misinformation against Covid-19 vaccines.

I still use them for my TV and AC remotes, flashlights and wall clocks.

I never realised that many people don’t need to use it anymore.

That is true.

Yeah, we need to see more details. The allegations against him were serious. This was a spot copy so is understandably sparse on details. I guess we will see more in depth stories being published by tomorrow.

If the accusations against him were really false, the accusers deserve to be in jail considering the amount of damage they did to his career and his reputation.

That is a solid pun! Well done!

For a moment I thought the whales were somehow killed by the cruise ship…

I love seeing extremely niche communities popping up here. Good luck!

But Telegram also have access to more info about its users, considering that messages are not end to end encrypted by default, than Signal does of its. This means that Telegram can share any data it wants, its users are just hoping that it won’t. In the case of Signal, they don’t have access to any meaningful data in the first place.

This is third place I am posting this to, but whatever:

When the Twitter migration happened, a lot of folks got overenthusiastic about the idea of the fediverse and started setting up their own Mastodon instances, despite having little to no experience with selfhosting before.

A lot of such instances have since shut down as they realised the amount of efforts that actually needs into hosting such a platform, especially instances with open registrations. However, a large number of them did survive and are now thriving.

Has the growth rate slowed? Sure, just like it is expected happen after a sudden influx. But it is false to say that Mastodon growth has stalled. Instead, the phrase I would use is ‘stabilized’. Mastodon growth has stabilized into a healthy level as user growth is now happening more organically. Some stats below:

12,808,214 accounts +217,864 in the last week

Stats on most active instances:

How can anyone look at these numbers and say that the growth has stalled?
