  • US Green Card

    The image clearly says Extraordinary Ability Green Card (EB1-A). This is not a standard green card.

    Reminder that FOSS is compatible with commercial licenses.

    That is not to say /e/ is FOSS. But given the reality of the capitalist hellscape we live in, we should not shame developers (FOSS or not) for not opting to work for free.

  • If we ban private jets, billionaires will just buy every seat on the commercial jet. This will be even more inefficient fuel wise, and worse for the environment overall.

    Don't ban private jets. Ban billionaires.

  • Cough I think you might not have considered things from the bugs' perspective.

    An alien vessel lands with an explosion. Within days, the air is full of pollution, the trees are all dead, and the water has turned a nauseating green. The source? A rapidly expanding Von-Neumann machine, with flying robots carrying materials around to make more flying robots and more factory and more pollution, and is on track to cover the entire surface of the planet, if not more. It will surely destroy life as we know it. It's a Lovecraftian horror: incomprehensible, casually omnicidal, and it came out of nowhere.

    I love Factorio. It gives me real are we the baddies? vibes.

  • I don't agree that marriage is strictly a religious thing. It's for the same reason I also don't think that Christmas is a strictly religious thing. I'm not religious, and even if I were, my parents' religion is not christianity. Despite this, I celebrate a secular Christmas. Gifts are given, mirth is enjoyed, and various other traditions observed. Perhaps some day I'll be secularly gay-married.

    Christians rarely complain about non-christians celebrating christmas but wrong, but some christians are quite vocal about gay marriage being an affront to god or whatever. I wonder if it's because Christians understand that there's "christmas" (the capitalist funtimes holiday) and then there's Christmas (the religious holy day). Maybe this understanding can be extended to marriage as well.

    Either way, as someone who doesn't really understand religion and is happy to let other people do their own thing, it doesn't bother me if there are churches that refuse to perform same-sex marriages. I can understand that perhaps a baker shouldn't be allowed to reject a making gay wedding cake on homophobic grounds, but I think it's a tougher sell for me that religious congregations should be forced to do same-sex marriages. But again, I don't care strongly either way.

  • Good point

  • I appreciate risking downdoots. I have downdoots disabled in my user settings, so I only see updeets. The lack of downdoot etiquette on lemmy is aggravating sometimes. "Downvotes are not for disagreement" my ass :P

    it's important to understand viewpoints of conservative people, even if we don't agree with them. I think the community on lemmy really struggles with taking political opposition seriously.

    regarding (2) I don't know about "cannot force religion to recognize gay marriage," since Canada does indeed force religion to recognize gay marriage. So it's not a can/can't thing. Personally, I don't really have strong feelings one way or the other if religions don't want to recognize gay marriage; I don't really understand religion.

  • This is not the reason why conservatives oppose gay marriage. Here are the reasons I can understand (though not necessarily agree with):

    • having 1x mom and 1x dad is important because men and women provide different functions when raising a child, and children deserve to get both of these things.
    • "marriage" is a religious thing, not a legal thing; maybe gay-"legally married" is fine, but religious congregations shouldn't be forced to perform gay marriages as they go against their religion.
    • the normalization of homosexuality will spread and convert more people to homosexuals/bisexuals and/or encourage people to come out of the closet. (I'm not exactly sure why this is a problem tbh.)

    Are there other reasons that they have?

  • It's Gotta Be Something Else

    Jump

  • Yeah. And they probably view guns as a way of protecting children, too.

    I see a lot of posts that just completely don't understand the conservative mindset at all, and imagine that explaining things to them like one would explain things to a leftist is going to work. There's just too much inferential distance for memes like this. Sigh :/

  • Can't tell if this is more racist against black people or white people. Never would have associated the "cracker" meaning without this comment. Either way, screw this guy.

    What does this have to do with disinformation btw?

  • TOTP ≠ MFA.

    The purpose of TOTP is to use 1-time codes instead of (or in addition to) passwords, and doesn't require multiple devices.

    The purpose of MFA is to ensure the user uses multiple devices to log in. In practice, MFA isn't usually implemented correctly, as it only requires a phone and no other device to log in, so it's not true MFA. MFA is sometimes implemented with RFC 6238 (TOTP), but for example getting a text message or email with a log-in code is not that.

    Your password manager should use a secure password so that attackers can't get into it. It's more secure than a phone, which often use few-digit passwords or, god forbid, fingerprints or face scans to unlock.

  • Reuters says Reuters is Hamas

    Jump

  • Here's the article. The headline now says:

    Reuters and AP journalists killed in Gaza strike were not 'a target,' an Israeli military spokesperson says

    According to the "last updated" field, the article was last updated 8 hours before OP made this post on Lemmy. It's possible the headline was changed, but this may also have been the original headline -- I can't find any record of the previous headline on Reuters, including Internet Archive. (Edit: the headline was changed; see comment.)

    Seeing as this is "Fediverse vs Disinformation," I think posters have a duty to verify the web page actually reads the way they are claiming at the time they post, or else provide context that the headline has changed.
