What opened your eyes to what’s happening in Palestine?

Gee, that’s assuming quite a bit right out of the gate.

We’re a group of activists in a Western country

Care to name yourselves then or do I just take it on faith this isn’t astroturfing? This whole post is pure propaganda.

While I have sympathy for the average peaceful person living in these areas, Hamas is a terrorist organization. Bring on the downvotes.

What is up with you and Taylor Swift conspiracy theories today?

I use Grub for my bootloader so I’m probably not the best person to ask for rEFind problems, but a good place to start for everything Arch related is the wiki. The page for rEFInd has a configuration section that outlines where the config files are and how to read them. Check that everything there matches what you expect it to be: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/REFInd#Configuration.

If you’ve verified that your bootloader config is correct and it’s installed on the drive you’re booting from correctly another config to check is /etc/fstab to ensure you have a root device set in there too. The wiki is your friend here too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fstab

You’ll need to post more info about your bootloader/fstab config. The error ERROR: device ' ' not found implies there’s something set to an empty string.

Works for me with Lemmy-UI. I’m guessing whatever client/browser you’re using is including the period at the end of the sentence in the URL.

I suppose you could argue an “illegal number” is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number.

For example, the HD DVD encryption key saga was originally fought via DMCA notices to Digg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AACS_encryption_key_controversy

Non-snarky answer: My guess is that after not answering any questions they’d assume you’re just trying to waste their time and tell you to leave or actually be arrested for trespassing.

!fishing@lemmy.world looks like the biggest per https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=fishing, but there’s also not many recent posts.

If you’re not overweight and simply want to become more athletic I personally think the most important thing to do is to find an activity you enjoy. That’s something you have to discover for yourself.

For example, I can’t stand working out for the sake of working out at a gym. But I do get really motivated by climbing, hiking, trail running, and skiing. Climbing builds strength and has a certain level of problem solving involved too so it’s mentally stimulating. Hiking and trail running are excellent cardio and have clearly defined goals to reach a certain summit or some endpoint. And skiing is just a blast in all forms. All of that keeps me active and having fun while I’m doing it. That makes me want to do it more which allows me to set bigger objectives and then it builds on itself.

What does this have to do with Linux?

Brendan Eich is not involved with Mozilla anymore.

He also created JavaScript though. So by your logic how can you use the web in general?

I tried for years to breakup with Google search, but always kept coming back to it for one reason or another. I started using Kagi a few months ago and have not even thought about Google since then. I really can’t recommend it enough, especially now that the $10/month plan is unlimited searches.

Your question seems to be confusing between browser and search engine. These are two separate pieces of software.

But to answer both:

• Browser: Firefox. Google has demonstrated clearly that they cannot be trusted as the sole owner of the web which is what is about to happen as Chromium (which Brave is based on) fully takes over. Mozilla (makers of Firefox) is the last holdout. If you care, this is case in point about how Google having a monopoly on browsers will kill the free web: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Environment_Integrity.
• Search engine: Another +1 for Kagi. It has completely replaced Google for me.

I use a mix of shell commands, terminal file manager, and GUI file manager depending on the task at hand.

The terminal file managers are quicker to navigate to a particular file/directory since it doesn’t require typing commands but I can still navigate with a few key strokes as opposed to using a GUI.

ActivityPub protocol so that anyone can run their own instance, but can also be blocked if anything heinous happens.

The overlap between the users who will run their own instance and the users you want for a dating app is the empty set.

(Speaking as someone that runs a personal Lemmy instance here)

I’ll be honest with you: I have better things to do with my time than debunk the same old re-hashed covid vaccine bullshit. It’s been almost three years since the vaccines were given to billions of people. If the clinical trials did truly miss awful side effects or there was something else wrong with them we’d know by now. It’s all bullshit and always has been. I’m done wasting my time debunking something that obviously has no credibility.

There’s no mass conspiracy about any of this stuff. If you want to get to the root of it just follow the money. Who profits from you and other people clicking on and reading these outlandish articles that promise to shed light on some massive conspiracy that the whole world is otherwise missing? The people that run the websites. They collect their ad revenue by peddling bullshit. If you’re not paying for something, you are the product, not the customer.

Also assuming you’re not just a troll with this comment…

You’re posting links to this website “vigilantnews.com”. Have you looked into who is behind it? According to their about section, it’s made up two people. One simply called “The Vigilant Fox” and another named Dallas Ludlum. (https://vigilantnews.com/about)

The latter, Dallas, runs a blog dressed up as a newspaper with clearly a hard right take on politics here: https://conservativecompass.substack.com. He’s also quite active on Quora for giving job seeking and career advice: https://www.quora.com/profile/Dallas-Ludlum.

More interestingly, from a reverse image search, this person’s headshot also shows up on an eastern European photographer’s website here: https://sebastianszulfer.com/en/services/headshots-portraits/. Yet Dallas claims to be on the east coast of the US on his Twitter account. Traveling to Europe just for a photo is quite the trek.

At best, the sources you’re listing are simply one or maybe two person’s opinions dressed up as a newspaper in order to generate pageviews and thus ad revenue. At worst, between the anonymous “Vigilant Fox” persona and the fake headshot profile photos, it’s likely this is part of a larger fake information dissemination campaign.

Is that “challenging the narrative” enough for you?
