Thanks, I appreciate the correction. Good to know for real

Thats a very interesting case example. I will have to learn more about Turkey, altho it seems like the Democratic part is doing a lot of heavy lifting relative to what I’ve heard about Turkey being like Hungary in terms of democratic realities. It is impressive that they don’t have the usual antihomosexuality laws and hangups other Muslim nations have.
Then again, they probably couldn’t be part of EU with something like that on the books, no?
I’ve watched videos with Palestinians lamenting the good old days when they had a job that was either in Israel or with an Israelli firm that paid much better and it makes me really question whether this is about religion or past stuff at all. I wonder if all Palestinians who are offered a better life thru gainful employment and modern peaceful lifestyle with the modern amentities wouldn’t warm to the idea of a pluralistic and perhaps closer to 1-state solution altho I also understand where the Israelis are coming from in terms of not wanting the muslim baggage and ongoing concerns that creates.
Religions that create such a conviction that there’s another better life you can arbitrarily access if you do violence in your god’s name are inherently antithetical to modern life and cohesion so I get that they would be reluctant if it came to that. There would very likely be a non-zero number of civillian deaths and incidents that would immediately be blamed on any unification
A two-state solution? Palestine is objectively less-developed and economically-developed than Israel, I don’t think its realistic there’s going to be a “river to the sea free of israel” type situation. Not sure whether thats what is actually being advocated for but it also seems like a point that keeps coming up over and again as I read about this.
If Israel had a far more moderate government where the leader wasn’t criminally compromised, do you think it would be possible to come up with some good enough good-faith joint effort to relieve some of the tension points and allow for change?
I’ve read that population-wise, Palestine is over 50% young people/children. Do you think that might be key to a generational refresh that allows for compromise in producing a solution at some point if all the pieces can line up?
I think its fair to ask an objective “what would a free Palestine look like”
I’m interested in what life would be like for folks there.
Young people seem so different when they don’t have a physical or emotional gun to their back, I actually entertain the idea that young Palestinians (with aid and world collaboration) could work towards—I dunno, like Pakistan or something. I don’t know a lot about all the geopolitics but Pakistan is seperate from India, thats an achievement that seems similar
Thanks for this answer specifically ;) I have to remember it all makes me a better thinker (“i’m in my hapoy place”-style)
Edited post, what other different arab nation?
All fair points, i just felt it was shitty for him to act like nobody or fans shouldn’t recreate what he got us all hooked on and that he had some sort of expectation of commerical purity that we were violating by not letting Apollo die the way he dictated
Not that I expected him to be able to sell it or anything but he could have taken a good, long, relaxing vacation and taken the strongest stand against the company that fucked him over and needed a good whooping by following the other top Reddit 3rd party apps that didn’t want to deal with Reddit’s bullshit new API terms and redone Apollo for Lemmy like Voyager did and I am eternally grateful for having done. Reminds me I need to donate this month to the one who actually made it possible and is an absolute champ
It highkey kinda sucks tho, being implicitly all like “I I can’thave Apollo do Reddit than nobody can have it!”. Its really childish and selfish in the way it fucks over almthe people who grew dependant on it for their Reddit-type social fix app
As a practical matter, I wouldn’t invest any time or money into the guy’s projects anymore not because he doesn’t do amazing UI/UX/App work, but because he is not someone is seems to plan long-term or is advised by anyone who could have told him this would be a problem legally or administratively etc.
There are indie app developers who create incredible and profitable apps who aren’t getting constantly yanked off the app store or denied service or whatever. To be fair, I think Reddit had a hard-on for fucking him over but I disagree with how he dealt with that both in the moment and more removed from that moment when he shut the whole thing down and threw various tantrums about Reddit and then more low-key about Voyager
YSK: He’s not crazy about Voyager. Gives me mixed feelings about him, he could have done well giving it his blessing or doing Lemmy himself. I wanna like him but he keeps making terrible choices
Why do people use Viber over like Signal and Threema or worst-case scenario Whatsapp?
Was kinda wondering when they were gonna cut the cord, Telegram is likely thoroughly compromised and compromising
How can I go from rando to content producer?
