My point being that people pretending to be leftists claim to care about human rights to use it as an excuse for bombing countries (see Iran during the protests as a recent example). Are you requesting drawings because my words were too difficult for you to understand?

The average SpaceX buyer post-IPO is almost under water after two-day slide in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] hark@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

$185 is still way above the already ridiculous IPO price of $135. If this market made any sense, it wouldn't have gotten this high in the first place, but since we're here, it should really continue dropping. However, knowing how this market is, I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a momentary dip before going back up for some dumb made-up reason.

Iran imposes mandatory insurance on ships transiting Strait of Hormuz, with fees likely to follow in c/world@lemmy.world

They're going to get that $300 billion one way or another.

The same "care about human rights" used to justify bombing countries?

Is AI ruining our skills? Early results are in — and they’re not good in c/technology@lemmy.world

Neither can AI, unless you want a garbage heap of a codebase.

I hope to see this happen in my area. The kind of emissions I'm stuck having to breathe in, especially while I'm walking on a sidewalk next to a main road, is awful. Unfortunately, it's going to take much longer for the switch to happen here.

eLbOwS uP!!!

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz closed again after US lifts blockade in c/world@lemmy.world

[–] hark@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The closure of the strait impacts helium supplies used for chip manufacturing which will impact data center build-out, so maybe the result is lower electricity costs overall.

Too bad I don't get to sit around and think all day so I can discuss with others who sit around and think all day.

The first guy to ever have a trillion dollars makes his second trillion on his 4th day as a trillionaire in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

[–] hark@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

It's all fake. Might as well call him a quadrillionaire.

Solar generates more energy than coal in US for 1st time in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Sure, but I assume it's easier to collect wastewater for proper disposal than the air pollutants.

I saw this post titled "Scratch a anti-harm reductionist and a fascist bleeds" (https://lemmy.world/post/33320759)

I commented that "harm reduction" apparently means sending billions in weapons to israel while they commit genocide and shutting down campus protests speaking out against that genocide. I said that seemed pretty fascist to me.

Within an instant, they downvoted my post and banned me. Guess it's my fault for posting in a circlejerk community, but I'm still scratching my head on how that makes me a tankie. Something tells me this mod would be calling in the tanks to suppress any dissent if they could.

!world@lemmy.world mod enforces own opinion by modding opposing opinion as "misinformation" (lemmy.world)

Context: https://lemmy.world/comment/14613536 Screenshotted context just in case:

A user claims that the killing in Palestine stopped under Biden now. I point out that biden had full-throatedly supported the genocide for over a year. A mod deletes my post and says that biden didn't "state" (keyword here) full-throated support for genocide.

I counter by saying I consider sending billions in support of genocide counts as full-throated support for genocide. I also point out that I didn't say Biden stated his support for genocide and that he didn't need to outright state it because actions speak louder than words.

I receive a temp ban for that counter and the mod adds a response where they claim the weapons were "provided for defense from Iran, full stop." which sounds to me like actual misinformation because how the hell does bombing hospitals in Gaza defend Israel from Iran? I'm not bothered by their stupid opinion, but I am bothered that they are enforcing it through moderation.

I ran into a similar moderation problem on the Political Memes community also on .world, but I didn't bother making a post here for that because that's just a dumb meme community and I was better off just blocking it, but now this is concerning a world news community and it's awful to see something like this happening in a community that's supposed to keep people aware of the news.

But hey, maybe I'm wrong and it actually is misinformation to say it's full-throated support of genocide to send billions in weapons to a country using those weapons to commit genocide. Please let me know what you think!
