Pretty disappointing stuff, especially concerning the potential for joystick drift and the gluing of the battery. If they haven't fixed drift I think I have no choice but to skip this generation.

Is this supposed to be Old Major (Marx/Lenin) and Snowball (Trotsky) in conversation, and Napoleon (Stalin) injecting himself?
I'm a bit sceptical for now. I don't remember this scene from the book, and I don't feel like I see the characters as I remember them here. I thought Old Major pretty much stuck with his principles until the end, and things turned to shit only after his death? Alternatively, if the adult pig in the trailer is Napoleon, are the piglets just random partisans who had no role in the book?
The film is directed by Andy Serkis, aka Gollum, so that's interesting I guess.
"No bigotry" could potentially be added under rule 1, but I think I agree that the way the rule is formulated leaves very little room for it already.

Does this include posting original content like art and blog posts? Seems a bit too wide.
Genocide denial or minimization, such as denying or justifying atrocities in Gaza, Xinjiang, Ukraine, or elsewhere.
Love it.
Don’t post anything that could cause legal trouble for PieFed, piefed.social or the people involved.
This should maybe specify which jurisdiction PieFed is under to make it more transparant. Rule 3 could itself cause legal trouble in some countries.
If you want to stay on Lemmy, maybe europe.pub could be an alternative? Could be nice to be on a Europe-oriented instance.
I like PieFed a lot, but I'm not sure if there are any distinctly European instances out there. PieFed.social is run by a kiwi, which I have no issue with whatsoever.
It is 2025, and the KDE project is still using the glory of the desktop cube to appeal to Windows users.
The desktop cube has been our single most powerful tool on the path to world domination.
Same. If FP6 has a smaller form factor and an amazing camera I will be very annoyed.
But in the US the genocide was largely carried out by random people shooting folks for fun from their train wagons, in Israel it's carried out by the professionally organized army of an allegedly democratic nation. Very different.
Even when the US army was directly involved (no small degree, especially if you don't accept Native American warriors as military targets), its actions were not driven by Democratic institutions. Sure, people voted for leaders who supported genocide, but the genocide was not the direct result of democratic institutions malfunctioning. In Israel it is.
Oh, I have no doubt the Daily Mail wanted Thunberg dead long before she spoke out against Israel.
They're far beyond that point. Their only concern right now is to finish their genocide before they're stopped.
Yes, it's not that genocide has never happened in democracies. But in the US, democratic institutions were not the driving factors behind the genocide: you did not have actors locked in to their genocidal actions due to the democratic institutions. Democracy and genocide in America were two largely separate things.
My idea here is that while the genocides on Native Americans were genocides in a democracy, Israel's genocide can be categorized as a genocide by democracy. It is made possible, or at the very least worse, by democratic institutions (however flawed).
It's just a shower thought really, I might obviously be wrong. But I have a fairly good overview of the history of genocide and I am fairly certain this one is unique in this regard.
Peer to peer, hence the name. :)
