  • I didn't took it to mean "Israel will be erased" but "Israel and Palestina will be fused". So maybe it won't be named Israel but Israel-Palestina (kinda like Bosnia-Herzegovina) or something like that. Of course that seems impossible today but who knows, maybe there's a timeline where that's the name of the country 500 years into the future.

  • People here are just gonna tell you to leave (I have done so myself) but if you can't for whatever reason something that can help is an extension like Blue Blocker which automatically blocks (or you can set it to mute) blue check marks as you encounter them. That way you don't give them money for their horrible baits. While I was at Twitter waiting until the people I followed shared their new socials (sadly most went to BlueSky instead of Mastodon so I lost them anyway) I used Blue Blocker in that manner. You can set exceptions for certain accounts tho I didn't, it mercilessly muted all checkmarks from my feed and revealed the bare Twitter behind. The result was somewhat like old Twitter at first but eventually it does get kinda slow as most of the valuable accounts become inactive. On the bright side that made leaving so much easier, so if you want to leave but need a motivator there's one that might help you.

  • Something else I've noticed in general around the world is: having a right-wing government gravely hurt them economically (while benefiting a chosen few) but only feeling the bulk of those effects during the term of the next government (be it center-left, left-wing, center-right or sometimes even another different right-wing gov) so they blame it on that government and go back to voting the original culprits during the third term.

  • Huh, I felt the 12/20 was a bit low but I guess not so much. As someone that has never used an image generator (or an LLM for that matter, chatGPT not even once baby) nor has actually worked at tech (though I have been learning programming on my own) and doesn't even know how to draw... I guess I didn't do too bad.

  • I'm playing Stellaris right now and one of the things I miss the most about Sid Meier 's games is it being 100% turn-based vs real time with pause (over long sessions it tires my hand a lot for some reason)

  • X drops headlines from articles, as new report details its bleeding ad revenue

    Jump

  • These are all hunches. I'll add my own: he was initially just posturing about buying it but when he was forced to do it he was motivated by many things (his personal dislike of Twitter's userbase -which was only partly leftist though it was a very vocal and hip even if sometimes unhinged and somewhat puritanical brand of leftism-, what he perceives happened to his daughter, the Saudi interests, his "I'm not owned! I'm not owned!" personality, etc.). Motivated to do what? Well initially it seems to me he wanted to transform it into more of a right-wing Elon cult (and he somewhat succeeded with the right-wing part). But the mass reaction was a destruction of his reputation. Before this he was usually clowned just by leftists but now it's by a good chunk of the general public. My hunch is that he has started to like more and more the idea that he is "sabotaging Twitter from the inside" as revenge for the aforementioned reasons or just "for the lulz" (it seems he likes to think he does grave things for the lulz, maybe it's desperation to fit in or cope). Wether this intentional sabotage is something that crossed his mind from the very start or something he picked up from his fans ("he... he can't be taking these kinds of decisions, right guys? He's a genius! He must be doing it all on purpose! He wants to tank Twitter") it does sound like something that mends his ego a bit and also the only move that could maybe help restore his old PR image of brilliant player, real life Tony Stark.

  • Now that we're finally out of reddit, can we finally get different tag for NSFW and NSFL?

    Jump

  • I don't care about Reddit (or about growing Lemmy) as much as the average post I see in Lemmy, but if you wanted to migrate people from the former to the latter this is one of the easier ways to help do it. It's one of those small quality of life things that are asked for periodically. If Lemmy had it it'd be mentioned in Reddit every time people are pissed with the site (which is every day for most sites, including Reddit). It'd be free mouth to mouth word of mouth (being ESL is funny sometimes) publicity for Lemmy

  • Powell’s Essential List: 25 Best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books of the 21st Century (So Far)

    Jump

  • I'm over 2000 books read (a mix of classics, literary and genre fiction) and the more I read the more fantasy and sci-fi feel similar. Despite one having a reputation for escapism and the other for (indirect) social commentary, in my experience any given book of either can fall anywhere between those two poles. Any sufficiently advanced technology, etc.

  • Fellow Latin Americans/Africans/Asians/Oceanians, what is something that Americans and/or Europeans have/do that makes no sense to you?

    Jump

  • I don't agree with "every waking second" of their lives (it's just paralyzing to live like that, wouldn't be productive to help solve the current situation) and maybe other details of your wording but I do agree with the general gist. Once you start critically reading history and looking at the present it's hard not to do that math.

    At the very least I would love if I hadn't to periodically suffer some online European conservative (particularly common seem to be the Spaniard and British ones) gloating about their perceived superiority, wealth, civility, etc. Or parroting their learned Official Histories.

  • Fellow Latin Americans/Africans/Asians/Oceanians, what is something that Americans and/or Europeans have/do that makes no sense to you?

    Jump

  • I'm totally with you. But to add to that there's something that I quite don't understand why it's popular both in America and in Latin America (dunno about other regions). Drug dealers, Mafia, violent criminals, narcos, capos, etc in media, be it documentary-style or fiction. Even in shows where they are meant as the bad guy protagonist lots of people tend to idolize them

  • Fellow Latin Americans/Africans/Asians/Oceanians, what is something that Americans and/or Europeans have/do that makes no sense to you?

    Jump

  • Yes, I am. Why? Curiosity. You always see this question regarding what do Europeans find unusual about Americans and vice versa. I am curious to know about the opinions of my non-American, non-Europeans fellows. Our perspectives are not so common to find in websites like Lemmy.

    Though a few minutes in I'm already seeing the post in the negatives so I'm assuming this one is sadly already dead.

  • Are you able to read in your dreams?

    Jump

  • It's somewhat common for me to read in my dreams but I can barely see the text for a second (it is decipherable though): My perspective instantly shifts "inside" the book, or rather the story it's telling becomes the new focus of my dream and I can visualize it just fine (sometimes I don't even come back to the previous world, my dream is now about this new story). Same thing if i'm playing a game: for a second I see the frame of the monitor on the borders of my vision but quickly it disappears and all I see is the content of the screen. Sometimes it keeps looking like the game (like, Civ always looks like Civ) and others it becomes more flexible and cinematographic I guess, a new story that can go anywhere.

  • What to play after experiencing Chrono Trigger?

    Jump

  • What I've heard is that it's very much like Chrono Trigger aesthetics-wise but very different regarding writing quality. Now, a lot of people play JRPGs not necessarily for their plot, story, character motivation/development and quality of prose but for their particular atmosphere crafted by their use of graphics, music, animation/sprites, etc and there's nothing wrong with that, so maybe it will be your vibe
