Imo this law is actually in a way pushing for a porn monopoly, if you by law need to provide an id, are you gonna trust some random site with that info or the big one everyone uses

Maybe someone here can help me because idk how to feel about this whole conflict.

On one hand, Israel is fucked, the sentiment towards everyday Palestinians and the civilian death toll have been unquestionably bad.

On the other hand Hamas and Hezbollah are also fucked up theocratic and anti semitic regimes that do not have the best interest of their people in mind, not the sort of people I’m super enthusiastic to support, I don’t even see things necessarily getting better for the Palestinians in a multi state resolution, and a single state resolution which is not devastating to them is practically impossible.

So far i have agreed with zizeks take on the issue (both states are bad and want eternal conflict at the expense of the people), but there seems to be no solution to go with it.

Realistically I think the only option for Palestinians to keep the West Bank and Gaza is for the us to enforce a 2 state solution (basically guarantee the safety of both nations from attack).

Part of the issue with Gaza is Israel is scared if they stop policing the border/sea/air they will be armed by Iran and then attack, some third party has to ensure their defense in order for them to stop.

It isn’t an ideal solution in any sense of the word but at least it could relieve the suffering of the Palestinians and give them the ability to self govern in the places they have left.

I was more annoyed at the ssh key requirement lol, I know it’s more secure etc etc but im not working on anything sensitive, it’s just annoying

Lemmy with a 1 user server would be annoying imo, simply because a larger instance lets you see more instances, when you search communities you will see far more options from across the fediverse, a 1 user instance is optimal in the sense that you have full control over your data and more control of what you see (unless you get blocked obviously) but otherwise nah. For matrix, obviously you’re trusting the server owner isn’t doing anything weird if you are not self hosting but I wouldn’t say it’s bad by default.

Lemmy is really easy to set up with ansible and yes you can use dynamic dns like noip that works fine, maybe I’d be worried using the free noip plan where you can very easily lose the domain though. Matrix is harder to set up but doable.

Be ready to flash your phone often if you do, but they can work well when they want to

I am eating from the trash can all the time

It’s basically like blocking a whole server, so if threads defederates from mas.to, users on either site can’t talk to eachother

If meta makes special features threads only and once they have a corner on the market start defederating, it could suck other already decently popular services dry (mastodon) since they either move to threads or lose any connections they had on threads. In the end, a cool decentralized thing becomes just another corpo social network.

If you’re self hosting at home yes dyn dns is far cheaper, and from a users perspective there’s no difference

Idk with ca but with lemmygrad you may just want to make an account there if you really want in
