Holly? Really? More than 1/5 (22%) of your country's population is considered extremist?

I did not mean do nothing; voting is key. I just meant there is no gain in fighting or focusing on these; either time will make them change, or they die with their conviction.

I get what you are saying, but that's exactly the reason we call it an autocracy (dictatorship) and not a democracy. There are many factors at play that make it nearly impossible for the population to have that kind of power. I understand that you can say they have a choice, but the choice then is between living a life or eventually dooming yourself and your family; the choice is not that hard for most, you don't even think about the bigger picture while making this choice. Sure, long term it will not get better, but the future has a weird place in these types of countries.

And the people who see through this and/or have the means will leave the country. Most of the time, it's the young and educated that leave, which leads to brain drain, resulting in even lower chances of real change happening because the people that stay are most likely not the ones starting a revolution.

Your beliefs are warranted and fair, but unfortunately, I think thats not the reality of the situation when we zoom in.

You can say the same thing about almost anything. I mean, if you take climate change, we all know it's going to be real bad for all of us and even worse for the generations that come after us. We even know what the main reasons for it are (fossil energy and reckless human activity). We've known this since at least the 1980s; the models predicted by scientists in the 80s are only a little off from our reality. And what did we do in all those years? We made it worse, much worse. But we all knew it was wrong. Depending on which scientist you ask, we are either at the start of the next big extinction event, or we are already in the middle of it.

I like your quote from the Bible, but I think there is a point of no return where even the best actions of the best people can do nothing to prevent the inevitable.

In other words, the market is nearly saturated now, and Evernote makes its money with business people and institutions who often adhere to the "don't change a working system" principle regarding their "tools." Most of them will just keep paying if the functions are needed and already integrated.

It's a model most of these types of companies adopt sooner or later if they are for profit, and investors see the potential of this business as almost exhausted. It's: grow, establish, grip, and squeeze.

If you really want, you can use almost any cloud-based solution that allows you to sync folders, with some caveats.

I use Obsidian with my Google Drive; it took me about 5 minutes to set up, and it works like a charm now. However, you need to set it up on every device you plan on using for synchronization. Also, you cannot work on the same document on two devices simultaneously. Otherwise, it works as you'd expect.

It's definitely messier than the Obsidian cloud, but for my needs, syncing it via Google Drive is more than enough.

There is one if you use the discovery features. Well, it's not a dislike, but I think it does the same thing, maybe?

lol XD, let me tell you, if someone is financing something like that, they sure as heck expect something in exchange someday.

So, you believe a government powerful enough to make unaffiliated companies bow to their liking won't leverage their investment?

Why do you think they invested? Just for fun?

You invest to gain influence, not to have less influence.

I get your point and understand where you're coming from. I think you're right from a certain perspective.

But I want to add that it doesn't matter that they declared they want to stop shipping to Israel; if the entire trade route is affected, it's just terrorism, plain and simple. Securing vital trade routes and sending a clear signal that this conflict won't spiral is crucial for stability.

Also, this is an international issue (trade route security), not purely an American one. While the U.S. could handle it easily by themselves, it would lead to more significant problems and conflicts in the long run.

I just believe inclusivity is always better than exclusivity.

Yeah, something similar someone told me (discussing MAGA heads): You can't convince someone they're in a cult if they're in a cult. Only two things reliably change someone's mind: time and death.

This isn't about AI and has nothing to do with whatever bullshits Musk is/was up to. They basically integrated drone tech into a Cessna and flew it remotely from a ground base. It's drone tech combined with an autopilot—fairly basic and proven, already utilized in military, agriculture, and hobby industries. Also its for cargo not humans.

Yep, I think you nailed it. Also, crucial distinction: one is a product (e.g., iMac), and the other is a service. When you purchase an iMac, you're acquiring the product; using the services is a separate aspect from a contractual perspective.

Again, I do not argue for or against separation, XD.

very basic summary: You said they steal money; I ask how. All these sources say otherwise. You said these sources are propaganda; I asked how is the argument based on the data from the INE propaganda. You did not respond and insisted that people I spoke to are lying because I don't have a "source" for their OPINION.

Bro, what's your point? No one is out to get you or is interested in internal Spanish politics enough to intentionally spread propaganda in the comment section of a random Lemmy post that maybe 80 people scrolled by, most likely not even living in Europe or near Spain and don't care.

I'm not understanding the part where you accuse me of spreading misinformation. I provided the official source from Spain, an anecdote, and sources for each of my points.

So, brother, do we agree then? Is Catalonia the economic motor of Spain? So, who's getting whose money then?

Interesting perspective, but these attacks were different from what they did before. I can see the argument that the Israeli government downplayed their preparedness to make Hamas's attack more devastating than if they had taken it seriously from the beginning. This tactic could then be used to partially legitimize retaliation and the subsequent siege of Gaza.

There are too many factors at play for this to be a "normal" Hamas attack gone wrong. The scale and preplanned targets suggest it was not an "ordinary" Hamas operation.

While I usually agree that the simplest solution is often the right one, do you really believe this was more or less a "normal" attack that spiraled out of control?
