The prevailing attitude on Lemmy seems to be that Israel should be wiped from the face of the earth. Comments that don't support the protesters are quite rare.
It's good that you are willing to acknowledge that. A lot of people on here truly reject the concept that the situation is more complicated than "stop supporting Israel". People are quick to spout that without thinking about the knock-on effects.
There are even people on here who are outright in support of Hamas, an oppressive Islamist group that has a far worse human rights record than Israel.
I'll believe it when I stop getting only rejection letters for entry level jobs.
The solution is to stop bailing out mismanaged companies. Crony capitalism/corporate socialism are scams.
When people of good conscience are forced to support a literal genocide because of how broken our system is…
When people are incapable of understanding nuance...
I pity the rest of you who would choose complacency and the path of least resistance over doing what’s right.
This is some extremist cool-aid stuff right here. I hope you find the care you need.
Associating Joe Biden so closely with genocide demonstrates a lack of capacity for understanding nuance. Supporting Israel doesn't automatically equate to supporting Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza, but it does indicate support for the Israeli (and by extension, Jewish) right to exist. One can simultaneously protest the genocide in Gaza and support a friendly, cooperative Israel.
Sounds like you got your daily dopamine hit. You should probably take a break from social media until you've calmed down.
Let me rewrite this headline:
"Democrats would rather elect a literal Nazi than Joe Biden"
Which is bull, but essentially what the article is saying.
If you won't vote for Biden because of Gaza, you are an ignorant, narrow-minded idiot and you are handing Trump the presidency.
Why does Linux need to be more popular? This isn't some NRM with a proselytizing mandate. Use whichever OS you prefer and let others do the same.
This is an extremely sheltered view. Most people don't even know what an operating system is, and they assume that it is an unalterable component of the computer they purchased at Best Buy. They don't have a last straw because as far as they're concerned there isn't anything they can do about it other than perhaps switching to a Mac.
Yeah, Microsoft is always trying to monetize things that shouldn't be monetized. Linux won't necessarily be easier, but it definitely won't force you to watch ads in your application menu.
No problems that a person with "minimal computer expertise" has are likely to require editing the registry, and if they struggle with the Settings app in Windows, they will be completely befuddled by the vast array of configuration files they will have to search through for making changes on Linux.
I have minimal computer expertise.
This is the source of your problem. Unless you learn more about computers and how to use them, you're guaranteed to have more problems on Linux than you've had on Windows.
The majority of the Windows gripes this community complains about are unlikely to ever be encountered by people with minimal expertise. Windows is fantastic as a layperson's operating system (and many Linux distros are, as well), so your problems are probably user-caused.
This might be cliche, but the For Dummy's books by Wiley were how I started learning about both Windows and Linux when I was a teenager. In fact, they were how I learned that Linux existed and sparked a curiosity in IT that is culminating in my graduation with an IT degree in July.

Dear brothers, sisters, and friends, how grateful I am that we can watch, listen to, or attend general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this weekend.

I encourage you to view each session, prepared to make note of the spiritual impressions you receive.

Hey guys, I'm toying with the idea of deploying a personal kbin instance in Azure. Has anyone done this and have any tips to share? What kind of costs am I looking at?

The end of workplace loyalty: Why work feels so broken right now — and how it can be repaired
Why work feels so broken right now — and how it can be repaired
In the two years I've been writing about Americans' changing relationship to work, there's one theme that's come up over and over again: loyalty. Whether my stories are about quiet quitting, or job-hopping, or leveraging a job offer from a competitor to force your boss to give you a raise, readers seem to divide into two groups. On one side are the bosses and tenured employees, the boomers and Gen Xers. Kids these days, they gripe. Do they have no loyalty? On the other side are the younger rank-and-file employees, the millennials and Gen Zers, who feel equally aggrieved. Why should I be loyal to my company when my company isn't loyal to me?
I knew it would happen again the other month, when I was reporting on white-collar workers who secretly juggle multiple full-time jobs. Overemployment, as the phenomenon is known, violates society's implicit norms of loyalty to one's employer more flagrantly than anything else I've encountered. But when I asked these overemployed pr

An AP story claimed The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints tried to cover up a 2015 abuse case of a child by her father. The church strongly denied the allegation.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we condemn, in the strongest terms, offending (harming) or abusing children. Abuse is not just a social malady and a criminal act; it is absolutely forbidden by the commandments of God.
Considering the recent Associated Press report regarding a former bishop who molested his daughter, I thought I'd share the Church's procedures around handling abuse.
The Church has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to abuse. This means that if we learn of abuse, we cooperate with civil authorities to report and investigate the abuse.
While no organization operates perfectly, I’ve been impressed by a range of effective systems and practices implemented to protect children in the global church.
