Israel is going to say "whoopsie, sorry" about the WCK atrocity, but it will accomplish what they set out to do, which is discourage international aid orgs from working in Gaza. it's an implicit future death threat directed at anyone who would dare extend help to the starving people of Gaza. war crime. collective punishment. ethnic cleansing. https://wck.org/news/gaza-team-update

Israel just killed seven World Central Kitchen volunteers with an airstrike, forcing the NGO to pause famine relief operations.
The IDF had also previously admitted to inadvertently killing Israeli hostages — but we’re supposed to believe they’re trying their best to minimize Palestinian civilian casualties. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-airstrike-gaza-kills-foreign-aid-workers-hamas-run-media-office-says-2024-04-01/

@NfNitLoop that's what I'm trying to figure out: how likely am I to unintentionally offend someone.

The reason why #Threads and #Mastodon are incompatible is that Mastodon is a community, and Threads is a market. That's it.
It's not big Fed vs small Fedi. It's not platforms vs protocols.
It's communities vs markets.
Communities are supportive and markets are extractive. Communities answer to those who must live with decisions made. Markets answer to money.
And wouldn't you know it, those contrasting forces influence people's behaviors, goals, and motivations for engaging with others.

@isagalaev “offended”, no, when only used as you say.
But “fat” is used so much as an insult that it can bring all of those associations. (Ex: “fat and ____”.) So an aware person must ask themselves if they want to bring those associations to their communication.
It’s similar to the word “queer” for me. I grew up only hearing it as an insult, so cringed at hearing it used as an umbrella/inclusive term. I now think it’s a good term. But non-queer folks should still be cautious when using it.

Question for fat people: are you offended when called "fat"?
To me that never sounded as an insult, but what do I know? (I was a bit fat myself at younger age, but not too much for it to be a distinguishing characteristic.)
And I obviously don't mean the situations where people use the offending tone or make it clear they *want* to offend. Just as a descriptive adjective in general.

Excellent write up on why the EU is actually doing tech legislation, and why it can be difficult to understand if coming from a different place. (And the reverse is true as well, as @film_girl pointed out recently; people who aren’t steeped in the US system tend not to understand how and why US tech regulators are doing what they’re doing, too.)

@nadim this is a real problem. Not only do we not consider this from a supply chain sustainability standpoint, but we also don’t consider audits as a mandatory part of development like we should in the FOSS community.

Something that is funny (read: not funny at all) to me as a front-end engineer who is on the front-end side of the spectrum is that anytime I've done or talked about promo papers, the one thing that is always brought up is "make sure you can show your ops work". Yet we have countless L6 engineers who don't know how to write CSS effectively or know anything about creating accessible UIs or using things like grid and new CSS methods to make layouts. That's never a barrier to them getting promoted.

The Boondocks pilot sat unreleased for twenty years until it was recently uploaded to the Internet. Unfathomably based show.
