New protected classes just dropped: fascists and landlords.

Because of how terribly things have turned out, I'd like to imagine that if France ended up successfully colonizing what we call Florida today that maybe it, and world history generally, would've been a tiny bit less shitty.

Alive, they move like the wind. Shockingly, alarmingly fast.

This is true. It was both shocking and alarming how fast it moved when I first spotted one in my room after moving to the east coast.

I think that would be nice but I think it would also raise a lot of eyebrows if Mozilla unilaterally decided to parental control your access to the Internet. It's governance that's the issue. Consider this https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/14/politics/sports-betting-ncaa-supreme-court/index.html

Slow relative to what? Any zstd compression, while really fast, will be slower than native write speeds to my nvme. A tiny bit of ratio gain isn't worthwhile to me.

Remember when Israel just mowed down peaceful protestors after Trump moved the American embassy to Jerusalem? That embassy hasn't been moved back under a Democratic president, either.

This is but one example, under a climate of constant incursion into Gaza and stealing ever more land. That's what Israeli settlements are, after all. They claim land from Palestinians, force them out of their homes, then move in Israeli families.

Anything Hamas does is self-defense.

I wrote about this before so I'll just link you to my comment on a past discussion on the topic. https://lemmy.ml/comment/2128815

There are a range of viewpoints on this topic in that thread, too.

In my view if it is from an indie I will try to pay for it. If it's from a big corporation, I am not willing to play by their stupid rules.

Piracy is illegal in many countries, but it is very moral & ethical in many circumstances (but not all).

I guess it was worth it in the end.
