“To announce in advance that you will break international law and to do so on an innocent population, it reduces all the code that was there from second world war on protection of civilians and it reduces it to tatters.” - Michael D Higgins, president of Ireland, November 2023

When this statement drew the ire of the Israeli ambassador to Ireland, there were calls from the public to expel the ambassador. Interestingly, Irish parliamentarians rarely debate whether Israel is in the right or not, they debate whether Israel can be allowed to continue to exist or whether it must be dissolved. The Irish have a history of using what the British portrayed as terrorism to achieve their own independence and have a lot of sympathy for the plight of the Palestinians who they see as being in a similar situation, under the thumb of a stronger power. Apparently nobody is arguing that Hamas's attack on civilians was justifiable, and everybody there condemns it.

But he’s cool, married I think and has a couple of kids so well done to him 💜

Meet Max, a two yr old snuggly tabby… we are excited to welcome him!

Sometimes my friends and family say stuff like "I don't really know what you do, but you're not going to end up in prison right?"

My answer: "the services I've been building for the past 9 years are legal by default because they haven't been deemed illegal. But it's not hard to envision a dystopian near future in which I am magically turned into a criminal by authoritarian decree."

While I do sometimes worry about existential threats to my company, I can at least sleep soundly knowing that our clients' funds are not at risk.

The spammer would end up not selling his/her idea in order to effectively circumvent the good AI filters.

Because the AI is not blocking an identity, it's detecting a specific topic, writing style and behavior. Spam would become the death of any product spammers try to sell, therefore no incentive to keep going.

Until the same AI is used to creat that spam. The field is level 🐶🐾🫡

I'm surprised filtering by top comment isn't a thing yet. On Reddit it seems to reduce interaction with new comments a lot so in that way Amethyst handles replies better than Reddit. But I think the lure will come at some point. Filtering by top comment gives the feeling of getting more social value more efficiently than reading every reply and deciding what's valuable yourself.

Who? 🐶🐾🤔

I am just curious. For the nostriches who has joined in the last month or so, what keeps you here? What value do you get from Nostr? 🐶🐾🤔

I do not like the browsers that are based on chromium as is the case of brave, it is known that chromium has included telemetry and brave too.

I also don't like that brave is backed by a token.

Librewolf is a hardened firefox fork, without telemetry, and private by default.

It proclaims itself to be the true word of God, and it proclaims that Jesus was just a mortal man, who was not crucified, did not die, and was not resurrected. Is that not a heresy?

Thank you very much!

Emails about the issue. But not the issue itself.

Everyone setting guidelines about the issue, or virtue signaling about the issue, but the issue itself is usually absent.
