  • Doesn’t Turkey have the largest arms deals with Israel because of NATO lol?

    Although hilariously even then they are considered one of the better Islamic countries.

    • Egypt is a US shill
    • KSA is Dr evil and also a US shill
    • Syria is mental
    • Yemen and Afghanistan are war torn
    • Pakistan is a US shill but with nukes (so Egypt++)
    • Iran is gay
    • Iraq is another shill
    • Bangladesh is Pakistan lite
    • Azerbaijan is similar to Turkey with Israel

    I find it sad that about the only Islamic country that made a notable stand against Israel was Houthi controlled Yemen. No one else cares, and most have been buying Israeli spyware for years to go after their own citizens.

    lemmy.world users when lemmy.ml user don’t immediately suck up to political propaganda

    There’s a reason why having both world news communities from both instances is a good thing. You’ll receive a much wider range of sources and bias, as well as the perspective of people who don’t completely agree with you.

    Staying within on instance community creates an echo chamber like reddit. There’s even such a wild difference within lemmy.world between c/Politics and c/News, despite them often posting similar news and info.


  • This same issue is actually mirrored on Stack overflow and is the result of the archaic upvote system which rewards whatever gets the most attention, and not whatever is actually useful or relevant.

    Lemmy is less because it’s smaller and also doesn’t shadow mask content based on the vote meter, but it still sometimes happens.

    There was a thread on the linux community here once where OP asked how to install a very specific piece of terminal software that he liked. There was at least 100+ replies which ranged from people telling him to use arch + aur, use a better terminal, use a better package manager, use yet another distro, or subthreads of people fighting over terminals and distros.

    The correct answer was to just git clone + make because it was a small program, and if he wanted to, he could upload to to COPR if he wanted to have a package available.

    All the way at the bottom

    because I made that comment lol






  • Actually I don’t think the 1000 by 2030 is necessarily true.

    China’s nuclear strategy is minimum deterence because they learned very quickly that stockpiling like Russia was not a good idea.

    I’m sure they’re just mad about the USA doing anything, but I could see them being ticked off by the USA trying to force them into a nuclear arms race.

    Also probably scared that the USA is going to dump a ton of money into things like hypersonics and LRAAMs again, which is probably the only two things China has a current advantage in lol.
