No, numeracy is when you draw cards to see the future.

Which group in France is against? I consider making this issue a top priority for choosing who I vote for.

You forgot the /s

At my modest scale, I was banned from reddit/worldnews for pointing out that the title of the stickied thread "Iran attacks Israel" was not suited anymore to the events in gaza, and that this thread's very low upvote count was a show that its content was not so consensual.

There are lots of efforts by Likud extremists to reshape the narrative and suppress dissent.

But I'm optimistic that their efforts won't work: the students protests are strong enough, alternative communities like r/internationalnews are developing, so that a more balanced perspective emerges, that doesn't downplay Israeli crimes against humanity.

My aunt visited Afghanistan as a tourist, in a christian group of women, in the 1960's. I really wish I could do the same when I retire.

Rising costs of energy starting Feb 22 is the cause of the last huge dip. As a matter of fact, rising the price of energy and the ensuing economic slowdown is still the most effective way to to reduce GHG. Being frugal is the only way to reach 0 emissions in spite of whatever rosy paint one wants to put on green energy, housing renovation and other half-effective measures.

Usually, an impact study is made before such type of laws are made:

• if this law is enacted, how much will it cost to the manufacturers to update their factory settings?
• how will this be impacted on the device cost in the UK compared to other markets?
• how many users will get stuck when losing the unique ID of the device, what are the recovery procedures, how costly is it to end users?
• how many users will be protected by the measure and what cost for society does it represent?
• how many users will set a dumb password anyhow and what is the cost for society?

I’d be curious to see the impact study, as many of those are actually botched.

My recent permaban from r/worldnews for stating the obvious (is "Iran attacks Israel" still the right title for a stickied thread on the events in Gaza?) has had the positive effect of making me renew with Lemmy.

r/worldnews is a cesspool of hasbara fanboys, but their unilateral view on the conflict starts to draw away people from their toxic propaganda.

Indeed, and the legality has been challenged by the ACLU. Although they could not pursue to issue a condemnation.

The present case would be an excellent opportunity to resolve the question of whether or not a President is entitled to kill a US citizen and setup better checks and balances (because, in the case of Obama, there were definitely some, but those were disputable).

Je ne connaissais pas l'institut pour la démocratie.

Ce qu'ils font à l'air interessant et mesuré.

Résumé:

Reconnaissance de la Palestine : Macron hésite encore Autour du président de la République, certains le pressent de reconnaître enfin la Palestine comme un État à part entière. Emmanuel Macron consulte, réfléchit, jure qu’il cherche le bon moment. Comme… François Hollande, dix ans avant lui.
