Which side are you referring to there? Both of them?

Some kind of a supporter here, I guess. Or let's say that I'm so much anti-Hamas that it's logical to be a bit anti-Palestine and pro-Israel.

Legality of Israeli settlements

Some of those settlements are not legal and israelis should leave those areas.

Article 51 of the Geneva convention prohibits indiscriminate attacks on civilian population yet Israel attacked hospitals with children inside.

It's questionable if this applies when the other side violates other Geneva conventions by using the hospitals for military activity.

I don't know. Rust seems like a better C++ to me rather than a better C. Plain C is a very simple language.

Yeah, the Rust guys' proposition is roughly this:

Hey you guys with 20-30 years of experience doing a single thing very well. Let's nullify most of that skillset and replace it with a thing we're good at.

Don't worry, we will teach you.

They're not technically wrong about Rust being a better choice for a kernel, of course. They're just incredibly misinformed about the social hurdles they need to climb over for it to happen.

I thought the level of discourse has increased sharply since lemmy.world got along, and the effect of lemmy.ml's somewhat extremist stance has lessened. It's now possible to mostly actually talk here without blocking half of the whole network.

So I would be perfectly ok with dropping lemmy.ml from the rest of the network. But I'm guessing that goes somewhat against the overall philosophy of the whole thing? I don't suppose the idea of federation was to create even stronger bubbles.

The horizontals were probably confused about this vertical alien

but 75% of the people outside that center are batshit crazy on some important issue or another.

On both sides, probably.

The difference to Reddit et al is that votes don't generally matter a huge lot in here. And you can easily hide them.

You should remember that he founded the original CopperheadOS project (from which he was violently ousted by his cofounder) and has been working on it and this for a decade.
