My take is that the medium is covering their asses by quoting every controversial part of the article. As in Petro said it's a "genocide" committed by "Israel". It's a bit weird, but you gotta be extra careful if you are not some pro-Zionist media.

As much as I love fdroid and I love to be in a community where this recommendation is made repeatedly, the announcement suggests to download from https://cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/OrganicMaps-24081605-GooglePlay.apk while they appeal. From the way they wrote the announcement, I understand Android Auto won't work with the fdroid version.

Debian. This is the way (for servers).

Not quite the answer to your question, but Cafe Tacvba. Great music, lousy singer, like that guy says about Red Hot Chili Peppers. Jesus Christ.

I have an obsession with light. Love the golden and blue hours and I don't want to know why, it's just so beautiful to watch. Being like this I'm pretty conscious of lighting and, in general, it has become just wonderful to have that precise dim and warmth in every space for a reasonable price. Not only this, less-intrusive lighting had become something urban ecologists quietly succeeded on spreading all over the world (bat-friendly lighting, for example) thanks to the available technologies.

So, yeah... not mundane at all.

Someone replied to you with the expected use is the downvote button, but contrary to your comment, I believe there is a de facto use of the button and it more or less corresponds to your "I don't like this" interpretation.

Now, they could have done something to address this issue, even completely eliminate the downvote button. I don't think they will do it any time soon because it would affect their profit.

Isolated communities sharing rigid points of view are a problem, but I think the voting system is to blame. When someone disagrees and downvotes as a consequence, it changes the way that comment is read by the next reader, this will likely generate inertia over the way the message is read in general through time.

I can't explain why I do like to read other people's comments. Most of the time I do not bother to engage in conversations with strangers, but Lemmy has several advantages over Reddit just because it doesn't count or publish people's "karma". It's a blessing that some instances of Lemmy can also hide the voting system altogether, which is the only way I can beat the anxiety of putting my thoughts out there. I think these elements make Reddit more addictive, because a "good" number in your comments and profile confirms your membership to a given community. I believe it also shapes a "correct" way of thinking.

Oh, dang. Laughing in KDE Plasma.

They left out the cuban wrestler Mijan Lopez. After winning his fifth consecutive Olympic Gold Medal in his discipline, the Cuban giant retired from wrestling. His sneakers on the middle of the mat were certainly an Olympic image, considering the discipline and his achievements.
