sparky@lemmy.federate.cc@lemmy.federate.ccto World News@lemmy.world•They Escaped War in Ukraine. It Found Them in Israel.English31·7 days agoI think this is a bit of a simplistic take. They were fleeing war and may not have had a ton of options of places to go. If they were Jewish, then getting citizenship in Israel, a developed country, was probably their quickest and easiest path out of Ukraine. It’s not actually that easy to get a residency visa in another country, and if you don’t have time to wait around what with bombs dropping, you’ll take what you can get, even if you don’t necessarily agree with the government and politics there.

sparky@lemmy.federate.cc@lemmy.federate.ccto Buy European@feddit.uk•European leaders worry they’re too reliant on U.S. techEnglish43·15 days agoEurope is too reliant on US tech. And the US in general.
I say this as an American who moved to Europe and became an EU citizen instead. You - we - should not trust the US for one moment longer. EU based alternatives are needed for all US services and products!
sparky@lemmy.federate.cc@lemmy.federate.ccto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•US announces evacuations out of Israel for American citizensEnglish52·17 days agoI’m not sure this works how you’re imagining. When you have dual citizenship, you’re treated as a citizen by two countries - meaning they could still choose the US evacuation. You’re American, full stop, doesn’t matter if you’re also Israeli.

sparky@lemmy.federate.cc@lemmy.federate.ccto World News@lemmy.ml•Israeli foreign minister says arms embargoes will lead to 'second Holocaust' and end of Israel7·1 month agoWell not to split hairs, but seeing as they are currently perpetrating Second Holocaust, it would have to be more like Third Holocaust. But the problem with the Israeli comments is that unarmed civilians aren’t very effective at holocausts.

So don’t use them to say anything that you wouldn’t be okay making public.

The entire summary on Wikipedia is sales guy bullshit. It’s barely comprehensible.

Bruh you dropped this: synergize
What the fuck does Dynamics do? Is it some kind of shitty database?
yes, but mobile games now are literally casinos, with research going into making them as addictive as possible to maximise in app purchase and advertisement revenue
