How can age verification be misused?

I never really hear people say that the free market will solve everything. Market failures are a thing and a dominant part of welfare economics.

Maybe doesn’t qualify as a war crime, but they have mass murdered their own protesting citizens.

But you should also read up on their role in funding militias around the arab world, about sunnis and shias, about operation AJAX, and about their authoritarian regime.

My comment wasn’t about what is or isn’t. It was about what narrative will be spun.

I’m just saying what narrative they will spin

They would just do the whole “we don’t negotiate with terrorists spiel”

Ah so it’s more of a question about the origin of the word, and it seems you’re right about the lion’s teeth. People who say dandy lion probably misinterpreted the sound. But hey that’s how language evolves.

He wrote it wrong. Its dandelion, and its pronounced in English just like you do, but dependent on the country, we have different words for it. In danish its “mælkebøtte”. Which means “milk bucket”. I think because of the white liquid they have inside. Its good for mosquito bites.

Misinformation is just one problem with social media. What about journalism not being paid ad revenue as it goes to the social media instead? Algortihmic freedom? Network effects (interoperability)?

Thanks for sharing. I’m still trying to break loose. There’s a lot of things you have to replace over time.

It’s not the right word but when I wrote it I was too lazy to think of a better one. Think of disposable cameras, dumb phones, and vintage tech. It’s in now.

I think things are changing. Cause back then there was not many good arguments. You already see a trend of going back to analog tech.

Nobody is saying vaccines have zero side effects. But everything has side effects, and the side effects for vaccines have been reported just like all other medications. https://www.healthline.com/health/vaccinations/side-effects-of-covid-19-vaccine#age-differences Of the more serious side effects these are mainly reported in 4-5 per one MILLION people.

In comparison, this study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10123459/ finds that 232,000 deaths could have been prevented AMONG the unvaccinated. This is includes people who could not take the vaccine for specific health reasons who may not have died if people who could took it.

And they were voluntary to take despite it having big consequences for everyone else that some chose not to take them.

The real reason is that monopolies or other forms of market power prevent competitive pricing, wages and rents.

It is true. But this war doesn’t promise relief, only hope. Ali has just been replaced by his son now.

So defederation just means we block some of instances

I thought federalization was about not having an owner of a platform. Decentralization. I have some reading to do

Ah so it’s about moving away from Lemmy and back to Reddit for example?

What does it mean to defederate?

Wasn’t Israel the country that has killed the most journalists in the world?
