The best way to avoid memes is to avoid the internet

or RSS

Lemmy allows you to block comms and users pretty easily.

I have over 200 blocked. Not in an “I hate you” way, more in a “This doesn’t interest me” way.

Best solution is to read books instead of social media.

There was some science-fiction writer in the mid 20th century argued that each household would have one humanoid robot. Because, he said, if you have a robot vacuum and a robot lawnmower etc. you’d need multiple computers, and that’s overkill.

Sounds silly in hindsight because a ‘whole computer’ turned out to be cheap and small, and it’s not a big deal to have multiple.

Pi Zero is barely a ‘whole computer’ – that phrase overestates the situation

I use a few

• Raspberry Pi alarm clock
• Raspberry Pi for music, packed with stored playlists
• Videophone thing for meetings

In Irish mythology, men with great destinies like Lugaid Riab nDerg (and by some tellings Cú Chulainn) are conceived of three fathers.

Lugaid’s mother seduced triplets Bres, Nár and Lothar to hedge her bets in case 1 or 2 died in battle. He was born with a horizontal red stripe across his hips and another across his chest showing he was ⅓ from each.

‘It’s not close’ – Israel committing genocide concludes Wikipedia ending editorial debate

Wikipedia has officially added “Gaza genocide” to its “List of Genocides” page, marking a major shift in how Israel’s aggression on the besieged enclave is being documented on the world’s largest online encyclopaedia.

The addition, which now appears as the first entry due to the list’s reverse chronological order, comes after months of extensive debate among the platform’s editors. On its “Gaza genocide” page, it states that “Experts, governments, United Nations agencies, and non-governmental organisations have accused Israel of carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people during its invasion and bombing of the Gaza Strip in the ongoing Israel–Hamas war.”

The entry for “List of genocides,” Wikipedia states that “Israel has been accused by experts, governments, UN agencies and non-governmental organisations of carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian population during its invasion and bombing of Gaza during the ongoing Israel–Hamas war.” The page goes on to list the death toll in Gaza while mentioning that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians killed are civilians.

The decision to include the Gaza genocide in the list followed Wikipedia’s formal Request for Comment process, which began in July. Editors supporting the inclusion argued that it met the page’s criteria of events “classified by significant scholarship” as genocide. They also pointed out that the Gaza situation had stronger scholarly consensus than some existing entries on the list, such as the Darfur and Rohingya genocides.

British Wikipedian, Stuart Marshall, made the final ruling in September, decisively supporting the article’s inclusion. “Based on the strength of the arguments … and it’s not close … I discarded the argument that scholars haven’t reached a conclusion on whether the Gaza genocide is really taking place”, Marshall wrote in his decision. “The matter remains contested, but there’s a metric truckload of scholarly sources linked in this discussion that show a clear predominance of academics who say that it is.”

Marshall concluded his ruling with the straightforward statement: “We follow the scholars.”

According to Wikipedia, events qualify as a genocide if they have been classified as such by “significant scholarship.”

Wikipedia’s decision comes amid wider discussions about source reliability, particularly regarding Israel and Palestine. In a related move, the platform’s editors recently voted to declare the Anti-Defamation League “generally unreliable” on the subject, adding it to their list of banned and partially banned sources.

No.

Book-learning is realllllly overrated in our world, especially in a forum like this.

Less than 1% of knowledge is expressible in words.

Was North Korea 3rd world?

Why are you interested in whether a forum deems it ‘weird’?

people tried to break in and set fire to the place, these things don’t happen in a vacuum

That is correct, fires don’t happen in vacuums because fires require oxygen I am very intelligent

The word ‘Scotland’ basically means ‘land of the lrish people’

Fun to remind lowlanders about this to annoy them.
