It it like he can see us but we can’t see him?

Opposite way around. We can see him but he can’t see us.

The reason you can’t see him is because you’re on Lemmy which will only display microblog posts if they’re (1) a reply to a Lemmy post, (2) made from kbin/mbin, or (3) replied to by someone from kbin/mbin (not entirely sure about this one).

Twitter has taught me that nowadays people are too adaptable, 90% of people will stick with Reddit no matter what they do.

but I’m curious how you expect Gazans to sing peace’s praises

I don’t, I only answered your question (“How is UNRWA perpetuating anything?”). Most of which was quoted from an article I linked.

I’m not the original poster you originally replied to. I actually agree with what you say about Israel perpetuating the conflict too, probably more. But UNRWA is undeniably doing its part too.

Perhaps we might see another exodus to lemmy/kbin once this happens?

Don’t forget Piefed, the new member of the family.

I don’t really get how these “IPOs” work. Someone actually has to pay that money for Reddit, right? Even if they manage to get Reddit temporarily profitable, are people really going to get fooled into investing just from that? Or are they guaranteed to get whatever Reddit’s value is at the time of the IPO somehow?

They teach antisemitism and terrorism.

I’ve found this article that talks about it (among some other reasons), though I’ve also seen it on other sites.

A recent report by the watchdog group IMPACT-se highlighted that UNRWA’s educational materials, based on the Palestinian Authority (PA) curriculum, contain antisemitic content and celebrate violence and martyrdom-jihadist culture.

UNRWA has a significant position in educating almost 545,000 Palestinian children across the Middle East.

The IMPACT-se report examined educational materials used in UNRWA schools, particularly in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, where the PA curriculum is adopted.

The PA curriculum, which has been under scrutiny since its 2016 revision, is found to contain – like it did before its revision – antisemitic content and the promotion of violence, jihad, and ‘martyrdom’ culture, while omitting teachings of peace and coexistence. UNRWA, while not producing its own curriculum, supplements the host country’s curriculum with additional materials. Despite pledges to counter-act calls for violence by UNRWA, the report found a disturbing failure to do so.

More than 80 UNRWA teachers and staff across more than 30 schools have been caught distributing hateful content in their textbooks.

According to UN Watch: “Teachers and schools at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which runs education and social services for Palestinians, regularly call to murder Jews, and create teaching materials that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis and incite antisemitism.”

Probably american-based like the other commenter says. The American left is the global center-right iirc.

As I understand it, the message here is that any decently savvy user of Firefox turns off telemetry, so mozilla doesn’t know of them using extensions. hence why they say 80% don’t use them, people who do use them don’t give them their usage data.

Kbin user here, these don’t work for me.

I thought it’s because the instance is missing, but I checked out your comment on fedia.io and it seems like everything is correct there.

Here on kbin.social it only displays @username without the instance afterwards, and the link itself isn’t federated it seems. So kbin tries to resolve the name locally, fails, and just displays it in plaintext.

Not sure, I’m not familiar with the test, just figured I’d tell the results from asking the AI.

I think based on what you said about it

AI will actually TRY to solve it.
Human nature would be to ask if the person asking the question is having a stroke or requires medical attention.

That the Balanced style didn’t fail, because while it didn’t ask about strokes or medical attention, it did point out I’m asking a nonsense question and refused to engage with it.

The Precise style did try to find an answer and the Creative style didn’t realize I’m fucking with it, so I do think based on the criteria they’d fail the test.

Though, honestly, I’d fail the test too. When asked such a question, I’d think there has to be an answer and it’s stupid of me not to see it and I’d look for it. I think the Precise style’s answer is very much where I’d end up.

So, I asked this to the three different conversation styles of Bing Chat.

The Precise style actually tried to solve it, came to the conclusion the question might be of philosophical nature, including some potential meanings, and asked for clarification.

The Balanced style told me basically the same as the other reply by admiralteal, that the question makes no sense and I should give more context if I actually want it answered.

The Creative style told me it didn’t understand the first part, but then answered the second part (the turtles being blue) seriously.

but maybe that was a short experiment

Could be, I don’t click on Twitter/X links often so I could have easily missed that.

it looks like they decided to start forwarding x.com links to the twitter.com version now. That’s new.

That was always the behavior for me from the start. I click on an x.com link, it brings me to twitter.com. Never was any different.

Modern Bing is a lot more useful for me than modern Google.

??? I didn’t suggest it would, that’s an entirely different topic.

Do I need to read the article, is it actually about something completely different than the headline says? Because that’s what I was talking about, the headline, since I’ve seen that argument before.

Switching to Firefox is really not needed at all to evade this one. Just switch to a different Chromium browser than Chrome itself, then use your browser’s own extension store.

I use Edge, my adblocker is in Edge’s extension store. If Google is throttling updates to my adblocker to help in their fight on adblockers, I can just install the one from the Edge Addons store and that problem is solved. I’m sure other Chromium browsers have their own extension store too.

It hasn’t happened, am I accidentally doing something awesome to evade their traps so far?

Probably A/B testing.

I’m using Adblock Plus on Edge and have the same experience like you. No reaction from Youtube yet to my adblocker.

I got a response from them on Reddit:

We didn’t know which platform would take off, and we were nervous that because Kbin and Lemmy are so similar one platform might shut down in some sort of consolidation down the road. Also when we made them, each had very serious drawbacks for our media (Lemmy needs a lot of clicking to access the media, while kbin turned any media that wasn’t in a 3:4 aspect ratio into a funhouse mirror.) So each of us took a community and somewhere down the line we’ll re-evaluate.
