The problem with black criminal action is once again accountability. The fact that the people can’t hold the govern accountable for their leadership responsibility is frankly frustrating. The fact that Black Lives Matter was fine, but White Lives Matter isn’t. Dividing the world culturally, now that politics has replaced religion. When people see policies of leaner sentences for blacks for horrendous crimes; law & order loses value and meaning.
@rw That's same bank protection mechanism could be in place for people investing into a low risk rental properties. It would promote middle class instead of perpetual debt of student loans. The default mechanism doesn't change the argument.
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Despite all this anti-boomer rhetoric, I don't see that many people talking about how social security and medicare are massive wealth transfers from the young to the old.
@nanook I agree with you to a certain extent but only because definition of neoconservative matches a profile of a lefty from few decades ago. Otherwise I think that the number of people voting republican is way understated.
@OneEyeKing This is perhaps a function of your geography, not at all the case here in Washington, here they put a tax on the sales of white peoples homes so that blacks can get a forgivable low interest loan to pay their deposit on a mortgage. This kind of eliminates the purpose since they still have no skin in the game as it were. We have the third highest gasoline tax in the nation and carbon cap and trade bullshit that add perhaps another 40 cents to that, but our roads are absolute shit, all the money goes to buying luxury hotels and cars for illegal immigrants and not to our needs, definitely not the product of "responsible voting".
@nanook I'm in a deep blue NJ and I think that the numbers of people voting for liberalism are overstated. Yes, most of the hood zombies vote for free money but there is a healthy amount of blue collar workers that are fed up. I think that the next governor of NJ will be another Chris Christie RINO for that reason. It's not a problem with voters. It's a problem created by the gate keepers. True conservatives are eliminated by the party in the primaries.
@OneEyeKing Unfortunately people here haven't gotten sufficiently fed up yet. Our state just approved a budget with 8 billion in new taxes, when the population is 8 million, and it's all going to house illegals, buy them cars, and screw the rest of us. I had hoped when we got rid of Jay Inslee it would get better, but Bob Ferguson has proven to be just as bad.

That's kind of sad but also isn't surprising. They didn't exactly put in a huge amount of effort to maintain it, nor did they put in much effort to grow it or make it appealing as a server for people to join.
I'm a bit bummed as lemmy.one was my introduction to the ecosystem. 🙁
OTOH, when they were having server problems, I set up a kbin account, but left it when it became clear I could only use the kbin app to access it. Looks like that's shut down now too!
I'm excited for both Piefed and MBin. Both projects are progressing rapidly and have communities that seem to have their heads and hearts in the the right places
I'll add to the bias. I created both a kbin account and a Lemmy.one account when the migration happened. Preferred kbin's look and feel, then changed over to mbin when Ernest started having issues. Haven't looked back, mbin is great.
Lol, I think we might be closer than you think. Lemmy and reddit are both basically unusable in web form on mobile, but Ernest took the time to make the layout of kbin in such a way that it compresses down to a PWA/Mobile layout without becoming a complete clusterfuck, something the mbin maintainers have maintained support for and I think is one of the key distinguishing features of the platform. The way it works feels very similar to the old RIF layout, and as such was everything I wanted from a reddit replacement from day one 😀
Everyone thinks the moderation/admin features need to be improved. I'm curious which improvements people are really needing. Whenever I see big complaints about it (beehaw, lemmy.one) I never see any specifics. Link the filed Github issues for them otherwise the feature requests don't really exist, and I'd like to give them thumbs up reactions so they get prioritized more.
we have a game mode called "Zero Rando" (no randomization) that's basically vanilla with QoL improvements and bug fixes
the Randomizer had so many compatibility fixes, QoL improvements, and bug fixes over the original game, this ended up being really useful for new first time players
since you've played before we also have "Zero Rando Plus" which is the same thing, but also includes the balance changes we've made for Randomizer
and we also have "Rando Lite" and "Rando Medium" to get started with the randomization stuff before going up to Normal Randomizer or Full Randomizer
0:00 Vanilla Fixer: automatically applies compatibility fixes without changing the game at all.0:21 Zero Rando mode: features many quality of life improvemen...
our "Zero Rando" makes way less changes to the gameplay than GMDX or Revision, which are often recommended to first time players but they're actually totally different games from the original
our "Zero Rando Plus" would be more similar in the amount of changes to them
I think that was the patch I ended up using my first playthrough (I'm away from my computer at the moment or else I'd check), but I might want to use something else my second time.
Transcended seems good. I haven't played it, but it sounds like it still has changes from Revision left over in it (it was forked from Revision). Like cameras seeing bodies, pawns reacting to unconscious bodies, and dogs having the jump attack. But idk if those can be turned off. If they can be turned off then it's pretty similar to our "Zero Rando".
But we have more QoL features available that you can enable which aren't included by default in "Zero Rando". A big one being Password Autofill which isn't enabled by default in "Zero Rando" but it's huge for Steam Deck players.
We also allow selectively enabling balance changes. Like auto augs, or general aug balance changes, there's an option for skill changes, map changes. Here's some of the settings menus:
I wish I remembered if my first playthrough was vanilla or not. I feel like it was. I can't remember when it was exactly but it would have been when the game was already roughly 10 years old. Roughly maybe 2010-2012?
A built in auto mod is the largest thing. A way to say that this common pattern is spam and to block it system wide, right now we just don't have that. A nice to have stretch goal would be to use some model to fight actual gore or csam material, which just doesn't exist. A moderation dashboard would be great to see users with their comment history, vote trends, high level to see if a person just had an off comment that might be taken the wrong way, or if there is a trend of trolling behavior
These have been opened on the GitHub and either sit open forever or are just closed.
does Reddit have any of these tools built-in? they sound cool, but they can also be built externally (I believe an automod exists?), and I would say correctly take a back seat to bug fixes
Why compare us to reddit? We feel like Reddit but from a hosting and admin perspective it's a whole different ballgame. Mods of reddit at worst run the risk of their communities being taken down for a bit if they let content slip through. Here on Lemmy us admins are legally liable for content that is posted. We don't have a large limited liability corporation that will take the hit for us. We need these tools, or we are the ones that will have boots through doors.
I think it's better as separate software. It means it can be developed more efficiently. And this seems to have a lot of features, so it seems it is efficient to develop this way.
to be fair, they're both correct. Lemmy.world could go solo with no federation and still have a decent user base, maybe add db0 and ani.social and it would cover nearly all of the bases.
Nah the points are laughably easy to game even in centralized reddit since this moderation aspect never made any sense. As if bad actors can't upvote themselves, buy upvotes or just repost any random garbage to /r/funny.
Its a terrible system that turned Reddit into a content desert. Once you decline some new person because "they dint have enough karma" they're never trying to contribute again and you end up with power users who have a moat around content production.
Shared moderation lists already do all of this in an actually functional way. You can subscribe to Bob's list of douchebags and have the client block them. This is something bluesky added quite recently but it already exists on fediverse to instance admins tho afaik not individual users yet.
you cannot transfer is your imaginary internet points
Ironically enough, even though "imaginary" this aspect might be key to moderation. Assuming (and that's a flawed assumption) that people would upvote/downvote based not on their opinion but rather on how healthy/unhealthy to the discussion a comment is, then those "points" would be useful to see above/below a threshold one would want to interact, e.g. show content or not (or even now show even as to unfold).
You can transfer all your subscriptions and blocks. What you cannot transfer is your imaginary internet points that aren't summed up by default in lemmy anyways.

LE PARLEMENT ISRAÉLIEN REFUSE UNE COMMISSION D'ENQUÊTE SUR LE 7 OCTOBRE
Que cherchent-ils à cacher ? Éléments de réponse -
«Honte à vous !» C'est le cri qui s'est élevé à la #Knesset, le parlement israélien ce mercredi 22 janvier. C'est le cri de familles de victimes israéliennes, tuées le 7 octobre, et qui réclament la vérité sur cette attaque depuis quinze mois. Les députés israéliens ont mis fin à leurs espoirs. Ils ont voté contre la création d'une commission d'enquête d'État sur les événements du #7octobre #2023.
Ceux qui ont empêché l'enquête sont les membres de la coalition gouvernementale d'extrême droite, celle de #Netanyahou. Ces élus ont ainsi bloqué toute possibilité de créer une commission par voie parlementaire pour les six prochains mois. Les représentants du Conseil d'Octobre, un collectif de familles d'israéliens défunts, ont laissé exploser leur colère.
La députée israélienne qui avait réclamé la commission d'enquête estime que le gouvernement cherche à «fuir ses responsabilités», et son groupe a estimé que «le peuple d'Israël ne pardonnera pas aux membres de la coalition d'avoir empêché une commission d'enquête d'État sur le plus grand désastre de l'histoire du pays».
Mais que cherchent à cacher Netanyahou et ses complices ? Pourquoi les dirigeants fascistes d'Israël refusent-ils une enquête sur un drame qu'ils ont pourtant massivement instrumentalisé pour déclencher un #génocide à #Gaza ? Quelques éléments de réponse.
🔴 Le soutien de l'extrême droite israélienne au #Hamas
Avant même le 7 octobre, Netanyahou et ses amis étaient les alliés objectifs du Hamas. «Quiconque veut contrecarrer la création d’un État palestinien doit soutenir le renforcement du Hamas et transférer de l’argent au Hamas. Cela fait partie de notre stratégie». Ce sont les propos qui étaient tenus par le Premier Ministre israélien.
Le Times of Israël explique dans un article que «pendant des années, les différents gouvernements dirigés par Benjamin Netanyahu ont adopté une approche qui divisait le pouvoir entre la Bande de #Gaza et la #Cisjordanie, tout en prenant des mesures qui renforçaient le groupe terroriste palestinien du Hamas».
De son côté, Bezalel #Smotrich, qui est aujourd’hui ministre des Finances et membre de l'aile la plus radicale des colons, déclarait en 2015 : «L’autorité palestinienne est un fardeau, le Hamas est un atout».
Avi Primor, ancien ambassadeur d’Israël, l’avait confirmé dans une interview télévisée la même année 2015 : «C’est le gouvernement israélien, c’est nous qui avons créé le #Hamas, afin de créer un poids contre le #Fatah».
La droite israélienne a elle-même créé son ennemi préféré. Elle préférait un mouvement palestinien confessionnel plutôt qu'une opposition anticolonialiste laïque et unie. Si une commission d'enquête sur le 7 octobre faisait son travail, elle pointerait inévitablement la responsabilités de ceux qui, en Israël, ont choisi de renforcer le Hamas depuis des années.
🔴 Une attaque annoncée et ignorée
Bien avant le 7 octobre, l'unité #414 avait signalé les préparatifs d'une attaque imminente. Cette unité de l'armée israélienne, majoritairement féminine, se trouve sur la base militaire de Nahal Oz, située en bordure de Gaza. Elle est chargé de surveiller la frontière, à l'aide de puissantes caméras. Les militaires qui s'y trouvaient avaient prévenu leur hiérarchie de mouvements suspects, mais l'état major israélien n'en a pas tenu compte et n'a pas envoyé de renforts à cette unité.
Le 7 octobre, la base de #NahalOz est tombée rapidement, et ses soldates ont été tuées dans les combats ou enlevées. Ont-elles été sacrifiées délibérément par Netanyahou ? C'est une question que pourrait se poser une commission d'enquête.
L’armée et les services de renseignement israéliens avaient également reçu de multiples avertissements des services secrets égyptiens qui faisaient état, eux aussi, d'un projet d'attaque.
Au sein même des renseignements israéliens, l’unité #8200 avait même révélé que les entraînements des combattants du Hamas portaient sur l’assaut de bases militaires et le «transfert des soldats captifs». L’unité estimait que l’objectif était de prendre «200 à 250 otages». C'est précisément ce qu'il s'est passé. Le gouvernement israélien n'en a pas tenu compte.
Pire, un énorme festival de musique a été maintenu par les autorités israéliennes littéralement aux portes de Gaza, et l’armée elle-même reconnaît que ses effectifs étaient dégarnis le 7 octobre, car ils étaient occupés à sécuriser des colonies à l'autre bout du pays. Un choix délibéré ?
🔴 Qui a tué les victimes israéliennes du 7 octobre ?
Au sein de l’armée israélienne, il existe une consigne appelée «Directive #Hannibal» visant à empêcher par tous les moyens la capture de soldats, y compris en sacrifiant la vie des personnes capturées. Elle est utilisée depuis les années 1980. Avant la guerre de Gaza en 2008-2009, le lieutenant-colonel Shuki Ribak affirmait qu’aucun soldat ne serait enlevé «à n’importe quel prix. Dans n’importe quelle condition. Même si cela signifie qu’il se fait exploser avec sa propre grenade avec ceux qui essaient de le capturer».
L’usage de cette doctrine lors de l’attaque du 7 octobre a été sérieusement questionnée. Le grand quotidien Israélien #Haaretz y a répondu de manière catégorique : dans une enquête parue le 7 juillet 2024, le journal confirme que la directive #Hannibal a été employée pour empêcher le Hamas de ramener des otages, y compris en tuant ces derniers.
Des documents et des témoignages prouvent qu’Israël n’a pas hésité à massacrer ses propres soldats, mais aussi des civils. Dès 7h18, lorsque le commandement israélien apprend un enlèvement dans un poste frontière israélien à Gaza, l’état-major divisionnaire donne l’ordre «Hannibal à Erez» et envoie un drone d’assaut.
Plus tard dans la matinée, le commandement ne se contente plus d’ordonner des frappes sur les bases de sa propre armée, mais donne «des ordres plus généraux». À 10h32, un général fait tirer des obus vers la bande de Gaza, «même si les soldats et les civils se trouvaient dans des zones ouvertes ».
À 11h22, l’ordre est encore plus clair : «Pas un seul véhicule ne doit retourner à Gaza». Une source a confirmé à Haaretz : «Tout le monde savait à ce moment-là que de tels véhicules pouvaient transporter des civils ou des soldats kidnappés… Tout le monde savait ce que signifiait, ne laisser aucun véhicule retourner à Gaza».
Les images prises après les combats montrent de nombreuses carcasses de voitures totalement carbonisées, comme soufflées par des missiles, et des maisons dévastées par des déflagrations. Sur les zones de combat dans les Kibboutz, le général Barak Hiram avait déjà admis au New York Times avoir ordonné à un commandant de char de tirer sur la maison «même au prix de victimes civiles». Les familles des 14 Israéliens morts à ce moment exigent une enquête.
Yasmin Porat, une israélienne de 44 ans, s’est retrouvée au milieu des tirs entre le Hamas et l’armée israélienne le 7 octobre. Prise en otage dans un kibboutz, elle a été utilisée comme bouclier humain par un assaillant qui voulait se rendre aux soldats israéliens, et a donc été sauvée. Elle a raconté dès le mois de novembre 2023, dans une émission de radio israélienne, la manière dont s’est déroulée l’opération. Elle a d’abord été retenue pendant plusieurs heures et traitée «humainement», puis elle raconte que l’armée israélienne a attaqué par surprise le bâtiment où elle était retenue avec d’autres, et que des otages israéliens auraient été «tués par les tirs croisés très nourris» et des tirs d’obus de char sur la maison.
Lorsque le journaliste lui demande : «Il est donc possible que nos forces aient tiré sur eux ?» elle répond : «Sans aucun doute», avant d’ajouter : «Ils ont éliminé tout le monde, y compris les otages».
Une commission d'enquête pourrait chercher combien d'israéliens ont été tués par leur propre armée le 7 octobre.
🔴 La fabrication de mensonges d’État
L'organisation caritative #Zaka, reconnue par l’État israélien et animée par des juifs orthodoxes, a été très médiatisée après le 7 octobre. C'est elle qui avait certifié avoir vu le corps de «vingt enfants brûlés» dans le Kibboutz de Be’eri : «J’ai vu 20 enfants ensemble, les mains liées dans le dos, et ils ont été abattus et brûlés, en deux piles» affirmait l’un des membres. Il est avéré que c'était un #mensonge, pourtant relayé par tout le gouvernement israélien, puis par les médias du monde entier.
L'organisation Zaka a été visée par plusieurs accusations de viol, de maltraitance et de détournement de fonds dès 2021. Pourquoi les autorités israéliennes ont-elles envoyé de tels illuminés, intégristes religieux et mis en cause par la justice, pour «identifier les victimes» ?
Un membre d’United #Hatzalah, un groupe de "secouristes, urgentistes et ambulanciers" a raconté dans les médias américains : «Nous avons vu un petit bébé dans un four. Ils ont mis, ces salauds, ces bébés dans un four et ont allumé le four». Cette information qui a fait le tour du monde a elle aussi été démentie par plusieurs journalistes israéliens.
Même question : il s'agit d'une organisation bénévole. Pourquoi ne pas avoir envoyé de professionnels des secours sur les lieux, pour décrire la scène aux médias ? Pour faciliter la production de #fakenews ?
🔴 Les israéliens tués à Gaza
"Tous trois étaient torse nu, l’un des personnages portant un bâton avec un drapeau blanc de fortune. Le soldat […] a immédiatement ouvert le feu et crié "terroristes !" aux autres".
C'est le témoignage d'un militaire israélien à Gaza en décembre 2023, après que trois otages israéliens aient été tués par leur propre armée. Ils avaient pourtant crié «au secours» en hébreu, disposé des draps avec écrit SOS, mais avaient tout de même été abattus.
Les soldats se sont rendus compte de leur méprise en voyant que les défunts ne «ressemblaient pas» à des palestiniens. L’un d’eux est roux à la peau claire. La hiérarchie leur a donné l'ordre de tuer tout ce qui bouge à Gaza, il n'ont pas réfléchi. Une commission pourrait enquêter sur ces ordres génocidaires, qui ont eu pour conséquence de tuer même les captifs israéliens.
Parmi les otages, de nombreux autres ont pu être emportés par les frappes israéliennes qui ont pilonné Gaza à une cadence infernale. Il est établi que Netanyahou a délibérément saboté les tentatives de négociation, de cessez-le-feu et de libération de captifs, malgré la demande des familles et des manifestations massives à Tel Aviv. Combien d'israéliens ont été tués entre-temps sous les bombes de l'aviation israélienne ?
Enfin, depuis l'attaque terrestre de Gaza qui a débuté le 29 octobre 2023, la presse estime qu'en moyenne deux à six soldats ont été tués chaque semaine par des tirs amis. Le 16 mai 2024, un char d’une unité de blindés israélienne a tiré deux obus sur un bâtiment où étaient rassemblés des soldats à Jabalia, tuant 5 d'entre eux et blessant les autres.
Encore une question sur laquelle une commission d'enquête parlementaire aurait pu se pencher. Mais toutes ces zones d'ombre, extrêmement troublantes, qui pourraient jeter un discrédit encore plus profond sur le gouvernement israélien, ne seront pas traitées par une commission d'enquête parlementaire.
