When I saw the show Hamilton, George Washington was black, not sure if that’s always the case. It was a really good show.

Toga toga

Thank you. I also didn’t follow.

I’m sure it must be a stressful time for Jewish people. All hate crime is horrible. Many people, Jewish and non-Jewish, oppose the actions of Israel.

I do hope the protests, to stop US arms being sent to Israel, grow in strength. And I do what I can personally to help.

When looking at the numbers its no exaggeration to say that the Palestinian people are being slaughtered by the Israel military.

• On October 7, 2023 Israel was attacked killing 1200 Israelis. Israel’s response to the attack has been completely disproportionate and has now (as of June 2024) killed over 7,797 children. In the same time the conflict killed 53 children in Israel.
• The most conservative estimate is that 7,797 Palestinian children have been killed, in the same time it is estimated that the total Israeli casualties; including military and civilian, including men, women, and children is 1200.
• on April 24, 2024 with many thousands of Palestinian children already dead, the US gave 14 billion in aid to Israel
• Neither US political party is stopping this.

Here are my sources, I am always interested to have other sources.

• I tried to pick from a range of sources and tried to include any statistic that made my argument weakest. Most of the numbers come from June to August of 2024.

Oh dang that’s creepy.

I changed my profile picture to one of the Fediverse graphics: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/36806080

If your role allows remote work this may be an option: https://consnewyork.esteri.it/en/servizi-consolari-e-visti/servizi-per-il-cittadino-straniero/visti/visas-to-enter-italy/digital-nomad-remote-worker-visa/

Once living in a place it’s a lot easier to find work, but that may be less true for academics who commonly move for work anyways.

Academia seems to have largely settled on English. Most graduate programs I have heard of are taught in English even if it’s not an official language of the host country.

CERN was designed to stop the brain drain to the US after WWII. Hopefully Europe (the world) realizes the opportunity in front of them.

Hell, I would copy the question sometimes :P

Yeah I had a similar thought to your first paragraph. I mostly use MBFC for the “factual reporting” rating, because it seems easier to be objective about.

Just to clarify, I don’t develop any fediverse software, I wouldn’t want to take any credit from those amazing people.

I have always liked the saying that an overnight success takes 5-10 years. Getting frustrated with someone who is developing two different Fediverse platforms simultaneously after 12 days seems a little quick.

I think you make good arguments in your video about how similar loops and peertube are, but I don’t view that as a negative. We see lots of duplication in the world, even within open source (Linux vs BSD vs Redox, ardupilot vs pixhawk vs betaflight). When it’s open source they can all learn from each other and reach better solutions sooner.

Edit: oh looks like OP says loops is 5 years old. Still seems odd to show up after 5 years and expect something exciting within 12 days

These comments have made me very curious if that exists or how that might be designed.

Ok well nothing is as impressive as yours. Averaging 15 posts a day for the last 19 months is a full time job.

That seems like important nuance for sure.

that worked thanks

ha, that’s possible.

Relative to your impressive comment and post count, it appears I was.

I don’t see any comments when I click that link

I guess I had missed it the first time

Wow good work, my global ranking is #2449.

Ha, yeah it’s good that you slowly clear out your local area because my SO did not appreciate me trying to answer questions while we walked.
