Genuine question: Is there a part of you that fears that by blocking dissenting voices, you may be reinforcing your filter bubble?
Right before October 7th, Israel was in the midst of a huge political upheaval because of the looming judicial overhaul. Gantz was the leader of the opposition, and the main political rival of Netanyahu. The country was extremely divided, almost verging on civil war.
Right after October 7th, Israelis were focused on unity, survival, and combatting Hamas, Hezbollah, and other threats.
Gantz joined the war cabinet mostly to signal that whatever disagreements he and his party have with Netanyahu [of which there are many], he still prioritizes national unity in the face of existential threat.
This unity was fragile, and by now the political infighting in Israel is back in full swing.

The trailer for the series is full of comments criticizing Peacock (the publisher) for releasing this documentary and saying they'll delete their Peacock accounts.
I've never heard of them before and I might open an account specifically to watch this! It looks genuinely good from the trailer
My friend, I will give you the benefit of doubt and believe you when you say that this post's purpose was to make fun of how shitty Twitter's community notes are, and that is indeed an important topic to shed light on, so people won't treat community notes as reliable.
However,
You can rest assured that a significant portion of the people who saw this post believed it as straight fact.
It is impossible to overstate how gullible people on the internet are, and how readily they will straight up believe conspiratorial BS, especially surrounding controversial topics like Israel.
That's how Poe's law works, and it is attitudes like yours that don't take this shit seriously that end up inadvertently contributing to an environment full of libelous antisemitic conspiracies on the internet.
I beseech you to carefully consider this stuff if you ever plan to post such a thing again.
Tombstone 2025-2027 Google Euthanasia
Will be killed 3 years from now, Google Euthanasia will have been a service to order remote drone assassins for instant palliative relief. Closed due to privacy laws in the EU.
It's worth supplementing this with his earlier statement from 2 days ago:
“Ukraine condemns Iran’s attack on Israel using ‘Shahed’ drones and missiles. We in Ukraine know very well the horror of similar attacks by Russia, which uses the same ‘Shahed’ drones and Russian missiles, the same tactics of mass air strikes,”
“It is critical that the United States Congress make the necessary decisions to strengthen America’s allies at this critical time,” he says.
Another part of the answer is geographical. Jordan helped Israel intercept because their airspace is between Iran and Israel.
The distance between Russia and Ukraine is far shorter.

The Tau Manifesto
For millennia, the circle has been considered the most perfect of shapes, and the circle constant π captured the geometry of the circle in a single number. But π is wrong, and it’s time to set things right.
This moth from the genus Phalera looks like a fragment of twig complete with chipped bark and even the layering of wood tissue at the “cut” ends... perfectly resembling a broken piece of wood to avoid

Linux laptop recommendation thread🐧💻
I'm on the market to buy a new laptop, and Lemmy has successfully coaxed and goaded me to give Linux a serious try.
I've never used *nix as my personal OS.
Which hardware/laptop do you recommend? And which OS to pair it with for a Linux newbie?
I'm a software engineer, and quit my job to pursue an MSc in AI. So my uses will be:
- programming
- study
- browsing lemmy
- gaming
