limer@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Trump’s military escalation against Venezuela repeats the Iraq War blueprint1·5 days agoIt would be very convenient to demolish a building, while people are in it, not allow inspectors, remove the rubble and cast blame: preferably on a small group of radicals.
Fortunately Bush the elder is gone

limer@lemmy.mlOPto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Looking to join a mastodon instance that is leftist in politics10·7 days agoI don’t see many posts about socialism or communism when I do a search. Maybe I am doing it wrong?
And I look at their feeds about USA politics. Heavy Democratic Party.

But not from violence: instead they will die, without headlines, from lack of medicine for simple things like high blood pressure and diabetes; not screening cancers; complications from malnutrition; infectious diseases; and combinations of these.
limer@lemmy.mlto Programming@programming.dev•Which software design principles do you rely on most?2·13 days agoSoftware design should minimize work and provide structure.
In practice it’s harder to do the larger a project.
Most strategies work well with a few dozen files, but not tens of thousands of files by hundreds of developers.
Which is exactly what happens now in the average web page

limer@lemmy.mlto Programming@programming.dev•How exactly does one get better at programming?1·16 days agoAfter coding a lot, and talking to many people, I have decided that while most people can be trained to be decent programmers; the critical ingredient is both an interest and the ability to sit down and do it for long periods of time.
As long as you have both you will find your path.
For me I learned a lot by reading books, coding my own things, and reading other people’s code. Often on first read, I was intimidated. Sometime I had to take a while to figure out new things. More than once I had to stare at a few dozen lines of code all afternoon.
It really helps to have a debugger to step through each line of code as it runs . This shows the values of variables at each step
And that assumes the code runs at all. I learned to debug my own code, when it would not run, by making every conceivable error several times until I could read the output in my sleep and know how I messed up. That takes a while to make that many errors!
But debugging is definitely very important

I used it through prime
I think Firefox also supports many if one installs the proprietary codecs .
But I just go to the web address, log in she watch. Maybe I only watched peacock through prime though
I’ve watched max, Hulu, peacock, Amazon , apple and Disney
I install chrome on my Linux and watch them that way
limer@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why in western democratic countries Zionism is not banned like Nazism?3·17 days agoall need to be burned out and replaced by people who can lead
I suspect effective and able leaders are being selected against, in many parts of the planet, due to recent changes of economies and technology.
But even in the older days they were very rare. Societies enable sociopaths regardless of government philosophy. They always have.
I think the Palestinians are victims of an alignment of malice, indifference and arseholes. They cannot be rescued unless evacuated. And the West Bank will follow Gaza later.
Anyone who is not a spineless worm is checked by the American military parked nearby. And contrary to the hopes of many, America will be there for all the steps, and will not just go away due to issues
limer@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why in western democratic countries Zionism is not banned like Nazism?5·17 days agoAll the western countries done their own genocides within recent history, and have run out of victims. But the basic colonial mindset never went away.
It must be like a breath of fresh air that, yet again, brave Europeans have a frontier to conquer and savages to tame.
That, and most leaders are being actively blackmailed by the Israeli intelligence services; and also, a good chunk of their population thinks Israel is required for their Sky God to kill most of the people on earth and reap their souls in judgment day.
Western democracies have done a lot of progress the last generations, but scratch at the surface and one will find a medieval mindset. Scratch at that and one finds a stone age mindset.
Thank you for honoring some of our ancestors
In states that do not use counting methods approved by the United Nations, voting provides legitimacy to ongoing multi-decade scams.
If the vote counting is illegitimate, should one vote for the better candidate anyway? This is an intensely debated thing over history in many countries.
Solving that, then voting is like you describe.
There are many layers to just how wrong voting is in the USA. And many of these scams, and the toleration of them, definitely affects reforms in unrelated areas other than the direct elections
lol I was banned today for “failure to grow” because i did not have the proper thinking.
It was on me though. I should not have commented there, knowing what happens regularly.
