I think it's a good idea and I think we should actually post by github. If you have a new post you want to make you submit a pull request and if you want to start a new thread you make a new branch.
It's true that it's hard to get a new instance to be picked up by others and vice versa, but there are conduits (or I forget what they're called) that can help, and mastodon does have more than one mainstream instance. Bluesky is just one instance.
Yeah, I agree with all of that. Clearly a "ceasefire" doesn't come close to enough. But that is the immediate demand, an end to the killing, right now, and it's still too much to ask for.
In a just world, we'd cut off all military aid to Israel and impose sanctions but that's just never going to happen.
But my personal pride doesn't matter, and the only benefit I could see to not-voting (or voting for Jill Stein) is to punish and pressure the Democratic party toward the left. But I don't see an argument for that being more effective than actually voting in Democrats and continuing to pressure them while they're in office.
I don't agree with this. I don't think "elect and then pressure" works if they know you're going to still vote for them. Marching in the streets doesn't do anything. Calling them doesn't do anything.
I don't begrudge people who do plan to still vote for them, but you're putting yourself in a very weak position to influence them if they know they're going to get what they want from you pretty much either way: your vote.
As well, I will not vote for them on principle, because they are actively assisting in a genocide. I don't care if the other guy's worse. If the lesser evil is doing a genocide then I'm out. That's it. Nothing will change my mind on this.
I will not vote for my senators, rep nor the president due to their refusal to call for a ceasefire but I don't think both sides are the same. I just won't vote for anyone genocidal.
Oh, yeah. That's true. I have so much problems debugging go code because every crash is like, "the program the an unhandled error at like 123" and then you look at like 123 and it's like
if err := some_call() {
panic("some_call failed!");
}
You just hid the stack trace that tells me what went wrong!!!

Reply to comment by emma in thank u to the annoing linux people of the late 00s. using linux keeps paying off. i just watched someone using windows 11 wring their hands and slap their desk just after opening the start menu by twovests
This may help, but I don't use windows so I can't test:
