It definitely seems like a good idea for education services, weather services, local municipal services, and basically all important government institutions to make important announcements and updates via a service they can host themselves or is more distributed, like Mastadon, instead of via Twitter where they have to obey the whims of people like Musk.

Honestly, I don’t know lol, but for some reason enough people have been made mad that /c/Risa died and a whole new community was made, and now it’s happening again. Something is clearly up.

I agree, just venting. It’s unfortunate =(

I hate seeing everything concentrated on just lemmy.world. The startrek.website admins need to fix their shit so we have instance variety again.

I liked your comment so much I thew it in !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world (@bestoflemmy@lemmy.world if you’re on Kbin)

I hope that’s okay!

The US uses slave labor, too. The prison population that they fill with an inordinate amount of minorities, but it turns into the same thing.

Thanks! Haha ya, it may be a little misguided, but I think we were allowed to do this partly as busy work to give us something to do between releases. We’re kind of in a transition period, and it’s something to do while my higher ups negotiate contracts for further work, stakeholders and customers prioritize next items for the next release, etc. Admittedly, these transition periods kinda scare me in terms of you never know when you’ll lose work or something, so even if they think it’s busy work, for me it’s shoring up my resume with tech and leadership experience I should already have that the rest of the industry will be looking for just in case the worst happens lol. I think I’ve been working at this place too long now, kinda got complacent, but been more interested in looking around and catching up on what I’ve been missing as the company has been looking to modernize and we’ve been simultaneously approaching the release of this version of their software.

( Funny enough, I was initially hired to work on automated testing since I had done some at my previous company, immediately got placed doing other dev work to catch up on our schedule. Now it’s been years and I’m trying to remember how this all works lol.)

Right now, we’re mostly just doing happy path testing tbh. But that’s a good point that we should look into our tools to see how it signals code coverage and everything. That might be some reading up I have to do. I think it’s a combination of MSTest, or whatever comes with Visual Studios, some Telerik Just Mock and Test Studio tools our company already had licenses for, and Selenium.

You’re right that a story per test is probably a bit too much Jira. I was more thinking of a story per class, but even that’s probably a bit much with how big this legacy application of theirs is now. I don’t want to overwhelm us all in backlog management paperwork, so now I think I’m leaning towards zooming out a bit and doing a story per module.

They always answer the same. It had Hamas in it. Or under it. Behind every dead child and woman is a member of Hamas. All 26,000 of them.

No it’s because the people who live there know what happens when they leave: they won’t be able to come back. Palestinians are still trying to get the right return for the 700,000 that were kicked out of their homes during the nakba.The people there have living memory of these horrible events. Same thing happened with the Native Americans and the Trail of Tears. It’s one of the stages of ethnic cleansing. Now over a million Palestinians are displaced without food or water or shelter and they’re sick been a sick and an Egypt not letting them in.

And for some reason you blame Hamas rather than the people doing the actual bombing, which boggles the mind. Why don’t you blame the people blockading the Palestinians for decades? The one restricting their calories, disturbing their sleep with drones, taking their homes in the West Bank, arresting them without trial or charge, cutting off their electricity or trash, preventing them from accessing water or oil, restricting the roads they can drive out cost systems they can use, telling them to go one way then bombing those same escape routes? How is all that not the fault of the Israel, the ones actually doing those actions? The ones motivating the armed struggle through continual oppression, apartheid, and war crimes?

Still that’s not bad. Wish they could get saved posts to transfer, too. That would be useful.

It does when the person who owns the street corner says that this street corner is for drug dealers. Israel has said out loud they want everything in Palestine, that the Palestinians are a problem and it would be easier if they reduced them from millions to a couple thousand, that they’re animals, etc. It’s all genocidal language. You don’t have to guess.

Not to mention Israel is using that same exact logic to ethnically cleanse Gaza, by pretending that every Palestinian is Hamas (despite greater than 50% deaths being women and children).

And it’s not one bad shooting, or even a couple hundred war crimes. It’s countless, or maybe one huge war crime. They’re targeting all civilian infrastructure and have been since it’s started, and justify it by saying Hamas is using all of it. Plus there’s what’s been happening in the West Bank forever. Millions of Gazans have been displaced already with no food or water and only the clothed and supplies they can carry. Journalists are getting shot every day.

Hamas is not doing some organized campaign of extermination. You just have to look at the numbers to see that. Hamas is a religious terrorist group that’s arisen as a symptom of the need for armed resistance because Palestine has been getting screwed and lost all their nearby allies who could help after the Oslo Accords, and strengthened by Israel because they needed an enemy scapegoat to justify taking everything and denying a Palestinian state. They’re a ragtag group shooting unguided improvised rockets over that fall on their own houses some of the time and fizzle and do nothing most of the rest of the time. If you want to look at organized extermination, look at the block by block bombing and displacement done by the IDF. Look at the side with the military vs the side with civilians trying to smuggle guns and hide in tunnels.

It’s the same as the Native American raids, slave revolts, or the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Hundreds of people are dying every week. There’s no food, water, or power. Israel is an apartheid regime. They bomb hospitals, refugee camps, and humanitarian corridors “for ecsape”.

Never again, means never again. Not just never again for white people.

I’m just playing dumb. I know what it is lol

I hope they’re not too against it. I know they’re extremely left wing, which scared a lot of the centrists on Reddit. If they allow even right wing instances, then it emphasizes the project’s lakc of political bent, and encourages more mainstream people to join. The politics can be up to each individual instance to decide whether to defederate with those other instances or not.

But that’s just my opinion, I’m also curious how the devs will answer.

He did? That’s awesome. I’ve been using Jerboa and Sync mostly. How does the Boost app compare to those? Sorry if too unrelated lol.

That would be awesome if true. It’s progressing faster than I thought. I’m still just learning about the scaled sort and enjoying that new feature lol.

I should donate to them. I mean… lemmynsfw, what’s that?

Warning: The actual shooting isn’t too graphic because they’re kinda far when it happens but it’s still tough to watch.

The imagery is palpable, poetic in a sad way. The white flag they were using to show surrender turns red as they use it to staunch his wound.

Wtf are you talking about? This guy was trying to get his mother and brother out and evacuated and then was shot holding a white flag. Please point out the Hamas in the video using anyone as a human shield.

It’s this thinking that causes this Nazi shit to happen.

Except the people saying it are the ones in charge so…

Zionists does not equal Jews. There are plenty of Jews who aren’t Zionists and lots of Zionists who aren’t Jewish.
