What puzzles me is how the US sacrificed so many rights at the altar of “national security” (e.g. Patriot Act) only to let this happen in the clear…so none of it really mattered for “national security”.

Sorry, I only know the piracy community in dbzer0.
Gsus4@feddit.nlto World News@lemmy.world•Trump reportedly called Norwegian minister ‘out of the blue’ to ask about Nobel prizeEnglish71·1 month agoGetting Arafat, Rabin and Peres to agree on something was well worth the prize…but I agree that starting to remove them would be opening a can of worms. It was just an attempt to reclaim some legitimacy for the prize, particularly if you work against the award after getting it.
Last time I bothered to check, worldnews looked like that on .ml, also happened to r/Chomsky.
Top to bottom single topic. Nothing else matters, nothing else discussed, nothing else happens, no thought, just despair, hate and circlejerk in what used to be ideologically diverse communities with some inherent contrarianism and debate.
Gsus4@feddit.nlto World News@lemmy.world•Trump reportedly called Norwegian minister ‘out of the blue’ to ask about Nobel prizeEnglish918·1 month agoLet me repeat: the prize should never have been given to Obama in first place, this is just doing the right thing anyway, not because he asked. And remove Kissinger’s and Aung San Suu Kyi too.
Gsus4@feddit.nlto Europe@feddit.org•Far-right populists top polls in Germany, France and Britain for the first timeEnglish3·1 month agoI see there is a broader reason: without colonial empires and without a technological or demographic advantage, we are in decline. The only thing going for Europe is the progressiveness and open societies, which allowed us to patch up demography with migrants, but even that is being attacked and lost.
Europe is going back to being irrelevant in global terms, which means economic decline and economic decline always leads to political instability and crazy people taking over with stupid solutions, but they always fail, because there isn’t enough growth to make people happy.
Best that can be done is slow the decline and spread the sacrifices with left policies, but inevitably incumbents will get punished and we get back to megalomaniac miracle cures that set us back again.

Gsus4@feddit.nlOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Butter made from carbon tastes like the real thing, gets backing from Bill GatesEnglish2·1 month ago“Made of” can mean “composed of” or “constructed from”. This is the latter:
Savor says they take carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, heat them up, oxidize them and get a final result that looks like candle wax but is in fact fat molecules like those in beef, cheese or vegetable oils.
The entire process releases zero greenhouse gases, uses no farmland to feed cows, and despite its industrial appearance, has a significantly smaller footprint.
“In addition to the carbon footprint being much lower for a process like this, right, the land footprint is, like, a thousand times lower than what you need in traditional agriculture,”
Good example of how choice of words can mislead, particularly when intentional.
I disagree with this, I feel like people tend to rewrite history in their brains, especially with this one, since it has the 2023 date.

Looks like lemmy.ml was a relatively normal place for a while before hexbear tried to refederate with the fediverse, that was a torrent of diarrhea, yes, but they quieted down a while after. The major turning point was when hamas attacked Israel on Oct 7th that year and everything Israel has done ever since. Then that infighting took over and destroyed any rational discourse in lemmy.ml.
I’ve seen this happen with subreddits too also with the Gaza topic. It is the best way to nuke any lefty community.

From the same business geniuses that though that having you pay a fee to be allowed to pick a seat next to your other family members in an airplane was a good idea…
