No matter if its a Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Jinping, Putin or Netanyahu (or some political conglomerate), and no matter where the injustice and moral corruption began or what once was, the people have to stand up against a corrupt system at that point. Of they don't they are indeed complicit, every single time.

Since the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948, fixed-term military service has been compulsory in Israel.
I don't see how your statement and the hyper-texted link are relevant. I went through the sections but it's just their basic military service that a lot of countries require?
This is not in defense of a government, just want to make sure we're not making vague blanket statements on a populace.

Israel is guilty of genocide and will be held accountable. I understand this is the Israeli flag, but this meme is treading a line dangerously close to antisemitism. There are those who will not see a flag. They will see a symbol, The Star of David, many peaceful people display.
The Star of David globally represents millions of Jews who are among those most against the Israeli occupation. Not only do they have the same abhorance of the unspeakable violence committed against Palestinians, Israel has hijacked their religion, cultural heritage, and the symbol representing their their passivist philosophy.
Memes like this have the potential to create hardship for Jews in the same way Muslims were persecuted in the aftermath of 911. I have personally seen the defacement of mosques. The same has already happened to synagogues. A jokes may seem innoculous, but they can beget additional violence. Take caution when making ones such as this.
(Before someone fronts Reductio ad Hitlerum, the swastika and Star of David are not even remotely the same thing)

All popular depictions of super"heroes" were always in the best interests of the bourgeoisie, not the citizens. They're even depicted to have largely replaced the police in their cities. They're not superheroes, they're just supercops.
The Incredibles isn't Randian propaganda by any stretch. This interpretation is wildly missing the film's messages about society. Brad Bird, the director, called the "Ayn Rand" interpretation of the film "nonsense" and "ridiculous" in multiple interviews when this interpretation started getting parroted by people who didn't get the point of the film.
I think it got misinterpreted a few times. Some people said it was Ayn Rand or something like that, which is ridiculous. other people threw Nietzsche around, which I also find ridiculous. But I think the vast majority of people took it the way I intended. Some people said it was sort of a right-wing feeling, but I think that's as silly of an analysis as saying The Iron Giant was left-wing. I'm definitely a centrist and feel like both parties can be absurd.

So, can you tell me in your own words what scene(s) in the film makes you think this Randian interpretation is valid?
I've seen this film more than most people (it's my favorite movie; I've seen it probably two dozen times since it released), and I am comfortable discussing any scene wherein you think the viewer's takeaway is meant to be that "the unexceptional are intimidated by exceptional people and force them to perform inadequacy for the comfort of others and how this is a net loss for society."

You'll have to build assembly lines for increasingly complex items, transport networks with conveyor belts, pipes, or trains, find raw material quarries and wells because everything is finite, then either manage air pollution or expect to be overrun by alien bugs. Small individual steps, but they add up very quickly and there's always something to do.

Here's Some Rare KDE Apps You Might Not Have Heard About
- Kirogi: A ground control software. It only supports a few drones right now, but should get MAVLink support in the future.
- KStars: An astronomy software that lets you view the positions of planets and stars, as well as a whole lot of other features related to astronomy.
- Licentia: A license comparison app. It lets you view and compare free software licenses. It has the full license text as well as a simplified list of features of it.
- KDE Itinerary: An app for travel planning. Well designed, with detailed station views courtesy of Openstreetmap.
- KTrip: Similar to Itinerary, a public transport navigation app
- Alpaka: An Ollama client for running LLMs
KStars
I'll add that KStars has a really powerful astrophotography suite called Ekos. It has lots of helpful automation features to make imaging relatively simple to setup.

Wait, how do they get that data remotely? I was looking at my instance vs world and I saw there's like the +1 hour from a week or so ago when I upgraded to latest mbin lol.
I guess they're looking at common activities and when they appear on each?
lemmy has a public api that shows the federation queue state for all linked instances.
it provides the internal numeric id of the last activity that was successfully sent to an instance, as well as the timestamp of the activity that was sent, and also when it was sent. it also includes data like how many times sending was unsuccessful since the last successful send. each instance only knows about its own outbound federation, but you can just collect this information from both sides to get the full picture.
there is also phiresky.github.io/lemmy-feder… to look at the details provided by a specific instance.

We can see it ourselves. We use rabbitmq for incoming (and maybe outgoing, it's been a while since I looked at how it is) federation. So, you can see the queues there. For incoming (from rabbitmq) and outgoing there are also queues (symfony messenger) and these handle failures and can be configured and can be queried.
After the upgrade I just took the default configuration again (because it seems queue names changed). But I used to have various rules setup in rabbitmq for retries and it took a fair few tries before the messages ended up in the proper "failed" queue (which needs manual action to retry). Some items you eventually need to clear (instances that just shutdown, or instances that lost their domain for example). They will never complete.
But it's not exposed in any way to my knowledge. Well unless people have their rabbitmq web interface open and without login of course.
Huh.
I can see the post from my .world account
Looking at incoming request. .world is working OK for me. They seem to be batching stuff like I'll get nothing for 30 seconds, then over 3 seconds like 50+ requests.
Of course I don't know if their queue is backed up and I'm getting delayed stuff. I'd need to stop processing and look into the incoming queue to see what they're sending.
Bit of an edit. Looking at incoming again I can see under newest items, an entry from world that was 11 minutes old. Oh I have an idea. I'll see if this edit gets there in a timely manner.
Spoiler alert, it was instant.
Oh ignore me. It's specifically between those two instances I guess.
I think it must be hit/miss. Because I think those edits I made would have gone from my instance to world and then from world to .ee, and it was happening within seconds.
So, presumably random stuff is being dropped or delayed?
Yeah ur right. Everything going on here must go through .world as it is the community. Which makes it even weirder that we dont have .world users federaring out.
My understanding of federation is ur events get sent to ur instance (kbin.life) ur instance sends those events to the instance of the relevent community (lemmy.world) the instance of the community sends that event to all instances subscribed to that community (lemm.ee, kbin.life, etc) my instance receives that event then notified me.
So this conversion is goibg through .world just that .world users events seem not to be gettibg sent to .ee
I think we need someone smarter than both of us to fix this
Filtered word: nsfw
it's not just lemmy.world.
of the larger instances, the following have trouble sending activities to lemm.ee currently:
- lemmynsfw.com -> lemm.ee: 2.81d behind
- sh.itjust.works -> lemm.ee: 1.04d behind
- lemmy.world -> lemm.ee: 22.5h behind
i pinged @sunaurus@lemm.ee on matrix about 30h ago already about the issues with federation from lemmynsfw.com, as it was the first one i noticed, but I haven't heard back yet.
Admins have been talking about it, it looks like it has something to do with banning/unbanning users. Sometimes a ban/unban doesn't want to propagate to .ee and that causes a logjam somehow.
Smarter people than me are looking at it!
I see it? Maybe I just haven’t noticed but I think .world is fine for me?
Edit: nvm you might be right. I just checked my posts in !futurama@lemmy.world. They normally get 60-100 up votes but the last one only got 3.
New Charter for the W3C SocialCG
I want to draw attention to an administrative process at the W3C Social Web Community Group (SocialCG), the standards group that manages ActivityPub and Activity Streams 2.0 and a number of other open social networking standards. The group is considering a new charter to define how decisions are made and how the members work together. This might seem like a minor process, but it’s actually part of a bigger deal for the Fediverse. To see why, you need to understand the structure of the W3C.
The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) is the standards organization that specifies the Web platform, like HTML (kind of), CSS, and RDF. It also is the organization that standardized ActivityPub and AS2 in 2019. The W3C process requires a special kind of group, called a Working Group, to create official recommendations on the part of the organization. Working Groups can have members nominated by the W3C member organizations, as well as some Invited Experts.
The W3C has another structure, called a Community Group, that’s much looser. Anyone can join a community group, as long as they sign the Contributor License Agreement, which grants a copyright and patent license to the work they do with the group. Community Groups don’t produce formal recommendations in the W3C; they can produce Community Group Reports, which can be documents, software, or really anything.
So, the Social Web Working Group created and edited ActivityPub and AS2 back in the mid-2010s. The group had a charter that extended into 2018; it was extended to early 2019 so the work on ActivityPub could be finished. The working group was then disbanded. A new Community Group, the SocialCG, had been started in 2017. It took over the process of supporting new extensions to AP and AS2, as well as maintaining the errata for the two main documents. Importantly, it can’t make major changes to the documents themselves — that requires a working group.
The experience of developers and users over the last decade in using ActivityPub has pointed out some real needs for updates to the documents. The W3C staff have asked the SocialCG to draft a charter for a new working group that could make backwards-compatible changes to these documents — adding clarifications, and possibly including new features. This would be great for the specifications, great for the Social Web, and great for the Internet at large.
The problem is that there isn’t a clear relationship between the boundaries of the new working group and the boundaries of the community group. What input would members of the community group have in the editing of the updated ActivityPub documents? Especially given that W3C members tend to be more commercial and institutional than the mostly Open Source developers who work in the SocialCG, there is a concern that a new Social Web Working Group would prioritize the needs of corporate developers with lots of resources, at the expense of Open Source devs making code for small communities.
The answer we’ve landed on is to implement a stage process, in which new ideas are initiated and documented as Community Group Reports before the Working Group takes them up for possible inclusion the main recommendation documents — or becoming new recommendations on their own. This process has worked well in other Community Groups at W3C, and the W3C staff is really supportive of it.
One problem with this process for the SocialCG is that we never adopted rules for how we make decisions when we started the group. We agreed casually to use the same consensus-based mechanisms we’d used in the Social Web Working Group, but never put together an official charter for the group. This casual structure has worked well for a long time, but in order to set up this more formal staging process, we need to have a more formal decision-making process.
The good news is that the norm in the W3C, as in most Internet standards organization, is to use consensus-based decision-making. So, the new SocialCG proposed charter has a lot of casual consensus, too, as well as pretty open participation on a very peer-oriented basis. It’s about the minimum structure you need to have a long-running organization.
So, let me recap: we want updated, backwards-compatible versions of ActivityPub and Activity Streams 2.0 with more clarity and maybe even new features. In order to get those, we need a Working Group. In order to get that, we need to establish a stage process. And in order to adopt the stage process, we need to have a new CG charter. So: CG charter leads to stage process leads to WG leads to new specs leads to new features.
The Community Group intends to consider approving the new CG charter at its January 2025 meeting. So, people interested in ActivityPub, standardization, and group dynamics in general are invited to review the documents and submit GitHub issues or comment on existing issues. If you’re not already a member of the SocialCG, you can join in a just a few minutes. It’s also reasonable for non-members to comment or make suggestions.
This work is complicated, but it’s also fascinating, and it is an exciting part of putting ActivityPub on a solid footing for the future.

My city dismantled our little skate park around 2022, and my wife and I were kinda sad to see it go.
The city then built a whole new one in its place that's at least ten times the size with lots of lighting. We see tons of skaters of all ages there all the time. It's really cool and I'm really happy they did it.
Yes. You probably just don't see them on the streets as much, because concrete parks are being build everywhere.
It's now part of the Olympics and a lot more girls skate too these days, so the sk8erboi stereotype doesn't really fit very well any more.

in reply to curbstickle • • •Now that's a take.
Seems like people associate fascism with far right beliefs and behaviors rather than authoritarianism or nationalism. I was wondering earlier this week if that's what people have been doing the way that the word "fascism" has been bandied about, I guess this answers my question.
curbstickle
in reply to realcaseyrollins • • •Ah yes, the "free speech absolutist" take. Where yelling "FIRE" in a crowded movie theater is totally cool. Thats what you're saying right? That all speech is acceptable? Even if the intent is violence? Terror?
Fascism is dictatorial control, violent suppression of opposition, belligerent nationalism and racism, etc.
If you think that describes the far right, then there you go. If the far right has these characteristics, there you go. You figured out why people associate the far right with fascism.
realcaseyrollins
in reply to curbstickle • • •Well I mean inciting imminent violence or mayhem isn't covered or protected by the First Amendment from what I can remember. I'm not saying that all speech that leads to violence should be illegal, but like, if you tell people to slash up folks with knives and they do that, yeah you should be liable for that.
People associate the far right with fascism because of desperate attempts to make the right wing in general unappealing, not because the right tends to support fascism.
For clarity, when I refer to "far right", I'm speaking in terms of social values. So, things like white supremacism/segregationsim, misogyny, supporting the installation of a theocracy, etc.
Stuff like dictatorial control, violent suppression of opposition, etc. are pretty bipartisan positions. Folks on both the left and right support using such powers to meet their own ends. You yourself are doing so here, cheering on someone being jailed for criticizing Islam.
