I’ve always felt that we support Israel for the same reason we support Ukraine. They’re a friendly military force located in a region of the world where we have enemies. Ukraine helps counter Russia and the same for Israel during the Soviet Union era. Now Israel is a counter to Iran and various terrorist groups.

If I was a corrupt Russian general, embezzling funds meant for nuclear deterrence upkeep would be a pretty safe bet since they are the weapons least likely to ever be used and thus least likely to be found out.

It’s something some schools do. It’s not mandated by the government.

Now I’m curious how that would taste.

It also seems like she’s claiming Israel is part of the USA. I hadn’t realized we annexed them…

I’ve never actually heard of most of that. I’ve never heard of semantic HTML and I don’t know what a dialog element is.

I think a part of the problem is there are a lot of people doing web development that never actually learned it. I’m a backend developer who occasionally has to do web development and I never learned web dev. All my training was with databases and serverside code and all my coworkers are the same.

I agree with this 100%. It would also help with QOL since I won’t need to follow a bunch of the same communities spread out over numerous instances.

I tried this out on my mastodon account and it worked really well. Honestly, if browsing communities on Mastodon wasn’t such a nightmare I wouldn’t even need the Lemmy account.

I actually like the idea of just shouting my thoughts into the void. It’s probably why I feel it’s easier to post on Mastodon then on Lemmy.

I was a little upset when I noticed some people started following me.

Florida really needs to stop tipping itself with how bad it can be. It seems like Florida is rapidly getting worse with each new headline I read

Where exactly am I supposed to go for programming questions if SO goes under? I don’t suppose there’s a Fediverse equivalent?

If it has a portable version then I might give it a try. I’m always a fan of portable software.

I’m curious about this too. I thought that’s what Goodreads was for, tracking your books.

Of course they know what an OS is. There’s only two of them: Apple and Microsoft.

The command line is always going to turn people away from Linux. I’ve only had to use the command line to fix a windows issue once in the past 10 years while I regularly have to use it every time I have to work with Linux.

People like convenience and will almost always go with the more convenient option even if it’s not the best option.

Until the majority of issues can be solved using point and click (and help forums show that method over command line), Linux will always lag behind Mac and Windows.

It’s not necessary. OP is most likely testing the various apps to see which one he prefers.

I’m assuming they’re referring to the recent post about how Lemmy stores your upvote/downvote history in databases accessible to all instance owners and not just the owner of the instance your account is on.

Dystopian fiction was not supposed to be a guide on what to do.
