You’re adding a zero to the total number dead, and also conflating those killed by Iran with those killed by Daesh and Israel. The larger portion is those killed by Israel/USA/Allies since they’re the ones using terrorism tactics.

It’s so obviously and unashamedly driven by the empire, so why do you give the empire’s news reporting any weight at all?

No worries at all. I absolutely don’t expect most people to pick up on it. (That’s why it’s a good dog-whistle). Even in Iran they’d just think you’re outdated. But it’s a very common thing in the diaspora who long for the monarchy when there was a hierarchy of peoples and theirs was at the top. VOA/RFA operated Iranian-language media has been very good at pushing this narrative of going ‘back to tradition’, to a time when minorities ‘weren’t stealing resources from the majority’, or ‘demanding affirmative action’, etc.

If I can use DeepL to translate Persian, so can you, yanks.

In English, the language is called Iranian. Some people use Farsi, which is Iranian for Iranian.

If you see someone insist on Persian, don’t listen to that person. They are a Nazi every single time.

I don’t think you are a Nazi, but I’m convinced one has your ear and has been successful in pushing away Iranians. I know you’ve heard someone say “Persian, Iranian, it doesn’t matter, they mean the same thing”, and that’s at first a very convincing argument, no reason to keep looking for patterns. But when you look for patterns, it becomes undeniable. It’s like people who insist on saying Burma or Rhodesia or Saigon.

The reason those people prefer the name Persia, is because it implies that the country belongs to one ethnicity and culture. It’s trying to lesser the other peoples of Iran.

“Farsi” is technically Iranian for “Persian”, so when translated it might seem like that’s already happening. But the difference is that people in Iran understand the context and history, and so while they use that name to describe the language, since that’s an accurate description of what the language is and how it came to be the lingua franca, people in Iran wouldn’t use it to mean the country or the broader Iranian identity.

Trump and Putin sure, but also everyone whose ever had a leadership role in the USA military. Obama is still alive. Bush is still alive. And ideally to a more trustworthy court.

If you have an open browser tab, it can pull info from it.

Please elaborate on what you mean here.

I feel the same way about smartphones but it’s now completely normalised. Glasses are less paranoia-inducing since you can clearly see where it’s pointed and it’s at eye-level. I’d rather discourage smartphone use than smart-glasses use.

“Oh don’t worry, ChatGPT can just type that text in for you when you need it”. /s

If you’re referring to touch screen users, then I don’t see how not having copy/pasting work when you plug in a mouse benefits them normally when they don’t have mice plugged in.

There’s a website called NameCheap where you can buy website names. (For example lemmy.ml)

The website Zionism Observer had done that, and they used their website to document statements made by Israeli officials. Primarily genocidal statements and confessions to crimes.

NameCheap decided to take the website down, which they can do as they are responsible for the paperwork and admin required to have the website function.

Two weeks ago, NameCheap got a new CEO, Hillan Klein, who is linked to Israel.

The idea of learning three languages through an app at once in a short period is silly. Which one of these languages do you actually stand a chance at becoming fluent in? Are you already conversational? It’s a much lower bar to be able to hold a conversation with someone who’s trying to teach you the language and is patient with you than what’s needed for every day life. But if you can meet that bar today you’ll probably be able to learn the language well too.

I assure you the Dutch speak Dutch. Many Dutch people also know English because it’s a mandatory subject in school, but if I said that in the UK they don’t speak English, and that they all speak French, would you think I was accurately describing the situation in the UK?

Yes but why Lemmy? There are more mature forum softwares. Your proposal doesn’t benefit from federation and doesn’t benefit from a UI optimised for discussing external links. You can of course continue using your real-ID account and interact with the Fediverse that way but no one else is doing real-ID so I don’t see that as a positive.

Nah he’s saying he’ll order terrorist attacks against frustraters.

Someone else already pointed out that you confused different women for the same person, but the man is different too. The top picture in OP’s post is Donald Trump, the USA guy. In a closer photo he looks completely different to Putin.

demands for interoperability with non-Apple products

the rules were not applied to Samsung

I wonder if Samsung owns a walled garden where their products aren’t interoperable with those from other manufacturers.

Discord is private social media, and most users think their messages aren’t shared with government without a warrant. Of course it’s possible in this case Discord didn’t even provide the messages “to police”, but that the police just subscribe to their commercial data-sharing and enjoy the same real-time access that way.

Are you calling the people on the receiving end of the genocide “genocidal”? Is your argument that if they just committed suicide, the pitiable Nazis wouldn’t need to go through the bore of conducting the genocide, so their refusal equates to demanding a genocide?

Beyond even that, they praise inviting people to negotiate and then murdering those negotiators.

It’s not an oxymoron, the idea is that when there are forces with opposed interests, one has to win. Note that this is talking about opposed interests, not interests that are merely in conflict.

So no matter how much you try to make concessions for the other, you have to choose if you want a bourgeois dictatorship (liberal democracy) or a proletariat dictatorship (people’s democracy) at the end of the day. Socialists just use less euphemism, and therefore accused of “admitting to dictatorship”, but a liberal democracy is the exact same type of dictatorship. The bourgeoisie interests dictate, and they make concessions for the sake of the proletariat.
