overview for Pamasich

Are there any add ons for Kbin or any existing features within it that would let me filter out posts based on selected keywords? So if I didn't ever want to read any posts that mentioned bitcoin or co in c/AskKbin@kbin.social

@novamdomum I don't think there is anything like that currently, but you can request it for KES.

Should a toggle button show its current state or the state to which it will change? in c/programming@programming.dev

[–] Pamasich@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends on what the purpose of the button is.

A setting should show the current state, but an action (referring to the play button example) should show the state it'll transition to.

Can registrations on kbin.social be disabled to stop spammers in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

Ernest has said in the update I mentioned in my other comment that

When I return, I'll push all the corrections and fixes I've been working on

This means he has made local commits over those 2 months that simply haven't been pushed yet.

Also, there is in fact a commit made 4 days ago. Though not from ernest.

Ernest hasn't abandoned kbin this time, he did post an update last week.

Today, I'm going for a minor procedure at the hospital, and I won't be available for the next 2-4 days. When I return, I'll push all the corrections and fixes I've been working on and present plans for the near future.

Him not being back yet probably means the hospital procedure didn't go as smoothly as expected, but he's not gone on purpose.

UNRWA Set to Lose $65 Million, Documents Show in c/world@lemmy.world

but I'm curious how you expect Gazans to sing peace's praises

I don't, I only answered your question ("How is UNRWA perpetuating anything?"). Most of which was quoted from an article I linked.

I'm not the original poster you originally replied to. I actually agree with what you say about Israel perpetuating the conflict too, probably more. But UNRWA is undeniably doing its part too.

Perhaps we might see another exodus to lemmy/kbin once this happens?

Don't forget Piefed, the new member of the family.

I don't really get how these "IPOs" work. Someone actually has to pay that money for Reddit, right? Even if they manage to get Reddit temporarily profitable, are people really going to get fooled into investing just from that? Or are they guaranteed to get whatever Reddit's value is at the time of the IPO somehow?

They teach antisemitism and terrorism.

I've found this article that talks about it (among some other reasons), though I've also seen it on other sites.

A recent report by the watchdog group IMPACT-se highlighted that UNRWA's educational materials, based on the Palestinian Authority (PA) curriculum, contain antisemitic content and celebrate violence and martyrdom-jihadist culture.

UNRWA has a significant position in educating almost 545,000 Palestinian children across the Middle East.

The IMPACT-se report examined educational materials used in UNRWA schools, particularly in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, where the PA curriculum is adopted.

The PA curriculum, which has been under scrutiny since its 2016 revision, is found to contain – like it did before its revision – antisemitic content and the promotion of violence, jihad, and ‘martyrdom’ culture, while omitting teachings of peace and coexistence. UNRWA, while not producing its own curriculum, supplements the host country’s curriculum with additional materials. Despite pledges to counter-act calls for violence by UNRWA, the report found a disturbing failure to do so.

More than 80 UNRWA teachers and staff across more than 30 schools have been caught distributing hateful content in their textbooks.

According to UN Watch: “Teachers and schools at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which runs education and social services for Palestinians, regularly call to murder Jews, and create teaching materials that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis and incite antisemitism.”

Do any of you program on non-US keyboard layouts? in c/programming@programming.dev

[–] Pamasich@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Maybe in comparison to the US layout? I'm not having any trouble with them.

If you mean the [] (and {}), they just use the right alt key, which is close enough to them.

I just use the Swiss keyboard layout. Here's an image from Wikipedia.

Don't have any experience with any others.
