We should make our own RIF

I used to love that app.

You decided on a new home yet? What’s your selection criteria.

I’d be tempted to make a single user instance, given how there’s an ansible playbook you can just run.

I see. I apologize. I guess I lost that context while scrolling. I agree people shouldn’t get complacent by just pointing to some authority that on their own won’t change things.

So you’re just… pointing out facts about international law in the thread about protesters trying to break a siege–what, for fun? I don’t understand what you’re trying to accomplish.

Obviously various authorities and people are in disagreement over what is right/legal for the people of Gaza. That’s not something we’re confused about. We just by and large side with the people of Gaza.

Anyway, we all process differently, so I’m not trying to imply that you have ill intent. But that’s why people are reacting negatively to your comment. Obviously ANY authority that sides with the people of Gaza is going to be one we side with, even if US/Canada/Israel/etc does not recognise them.

Do fastfood next.

But no, I’m not getting into that fight with you, because it’s an argument without heart meant only to sap the will of people to oppose a very real and concerted genocide.

What do you propose to stop the genocide instead of morally defensible illegal acts?

I’ve been yelling at that AWS cloud ever since they started becoming the standard for enterprise. Glad to see sanity prevails somewhere anyway

I love alliteration. And puns, especially the multilingual kind 👹

Do you see how these two are not equivalent though? One is an aggressive campaign exterminate a people, that can be stopped if just slightly more political will is mustered.

Already, the tide is turning and you have even mainstream voices yapping at Israel to cease.

What is this, the card says moops?? Oh pardon me, by all means, carry on with the unprecedented genocide!

The UN is often on the right side of these things, so anyone who cares about human life, human rights, states rights, or international fraternity, would naturally align themselves to that consensus.

People of conscience disagree with the morality of this “blockade,” which is a nice weasel word by the way, when really what’s happening is people of Gaza are being exterminated while under total siege.

I could do this with my eyes closed

I mean if they’re utilities, we shouldn’t let a board decide what should rightfully be in the hands of the voting public. Really they should welcome a stable (OK maybe not so stable in the US atm, but generally…) owner as the government.

Speaking of the 'don, it’s not really my usual thing (I never loved twitter), but I have to say it’s really bumping lately. Seems like lots of great conversations whenever I visit. I think it’s growing on me.

It’s a really popular alternative to substack, for one. That’s mostly how I know about it — many writers of conscience I subscribed to migrated over when ss went rotten.

… what do we call the death and pain caused by pursuit of profits?

The term I’ve heard for this is social murder:

… an unnatural death that is believed to occur due to social, political, or economic oppression, instead of direct violence.

Scared CEOs—finally, a guilt-free fetish.

Not a solution, but this is a great reminder to add descriptions/alt text to your images.

Might it also be possible/feasible to send an “email blast” to everyone with a slrpnk.net account? It would probably be quite complicated to send that many emails at once without getting blocked by the major email providers, but hypothetically we’ve all registered with emails…

Just spitballing ideas for the future. Everything’s fine now. Gives me an excuse to spend a little more time on the Canadian end of the fediverse. :)
