[Israel] is currently trying to do everything in it's power to start a war with Iran
context: Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel on Tuesday
Yes we do see exactly what they are trying to do here. To be honest, I'm finished indulging it.

As I already said, you are going to an awful lot of effort to defend a country that executes women for wearing a hair cover improperly.

It was actually no trouble at all to discuss Iran in a post about Iran. What would be weird is if I started bringing up non-existent countries from completely different continents.

That's why we have a diverse moderation team. My politics don't effect my moderation decisions. But even if they did, other mods would step in to correct it. And vice-versa.

I definitely support the right of women to uncover their hair in public without getting murdered. Yet you seem to be spending an awful lot of energy defending the regime in Iran.

Thunderbird team has been developing K9 for years now. This step is a small iteration from a technical point, but significant in that they feel it is stable and complete enough to put their name on.
Thunderbird is technically part of Mozilla but as far as I can tell, they are funded and operate pretty much independently from the browser and other parts of the org.
It's a classic Rosh Hashanah musical parody - hope everyone here has a very happy and sweet New Year!

"With God's help, the blows of the uprising front will become stronger and more painful on the worn and rotting body of the Zionist regime," he said.
Sounds very rational.

First of all, this is not an ad - I don't work for this organization, I'm just sharing their request here. I know people who have volunteered with this organization in the past and they do exceptional work. Lemmy is full of great people who care about others, and this is just one way that you might not have known that you could help out. You don't have to be Jewish to volunteer. *NECHAMA is gearing up to respond to Hurricane Helene, planning a long-term deployment in western North Carolina. As this is an active disaster site with ongoing search and rescue, we may not be on the ground for several weeks. Meanwhile, we're working closely with disaster aid partners and have identified a pressing need for virtual volunteers to help log vital disaster data in Crisis Cleanup. Your time will directly support victims and keep aid efforts running smoothly. Can’t volunteer? You can still make a difference with a donation.* Register as a volunteer: https://nechama.org/programs/hurricane-helene-volunteer-forms/ Donate to NECHAMA: https://nechamadonate.funraise.org/

I believe in freedom of religion, but if your religion prohibits you from the practice of medicine, you are not allowed to have a hospital. Jehovah's Witnesses and Scientologists don't have hospitals either.

I'm not really an expert, but when you install the app and set up the account for the first time, it should prompt you to give necessary permissions.
Push is not instantaneous across apps/devices, but if it takes longer than a minute or two then something is not set up correctly. I imported my settings from K9 and some of the menus have changed slightly since then. Now it's under "Fetching Mail -> Advanced," but I don't see where the option is to enable/disable.

Israel killed Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in a powerful airstrike in Beirut, dealing a huge blow to the Iran-backed group as it reels from an escalating campaign of Israeli attacks. The Israeli military said on Saturday it had eliminated Nasrallah in the strike on the group's central command headquarters in Beirut's southern suburbs a day earlier. Hezbollah confirmed he had been killed, without saying how. His death is not only a major blow to Hezbollah, but also to Iran, removing an influential ally who helped build Hezbollah into the linchpin of Tehran's constellation of allied groups in the Arab world.

There’s no romance in being a child bride. And whether the “groom” is R. Kelly, with his marriage to 15-year-old Aaliyah, your great-grandmother, or Justine (name changed for protection)—a minor married to a man twice her age in the state of Maryland—more often than not, these marriages are a form of child abuse ... government-sanctioned child abuse, in some states. Child marriage remains legal in well over half of all U.S. states, with over 300,000 minors married between 2000 and 2018. Every year, hundreds of children of every gender, ethnicity and religious background are married, with no regard for their consent. “Groom” might be the technical term in these marriages, but “grooming” is more accurate.

Valve Corporation, tired of paying arbitration fees, has removed a mandatory arbitration clause from Steam's subscriber agreement. Valve told gamers in yesterday's update that they must sue the company in order to resolve disputes. The subscriber agreement includes "changes to how disputes and claims between you and Valve are resolved," Steam wrote in an email to users. "The updated dispute resolution provisions are in Section 10 and require all claims and disputes to proceed in court and not in arbitration. We've also removed the class action waiver and cost and fee-shifting provisions."

The devastating impact of Hurricane Helene is being felt far and wide across the South tonight. At least 40 people are dead in four states. Millions are without power. And there have been harrowing air rescues from Florida to Tennessee. And although the Category 4 hurricane is now a tropical depression, the threat is not over yet.
In August, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen announced a plan to remove noncitizens from the voting rolls, citing 3,251 individuals who had registered to vote who were not American citizens.

The Israeli military said on Saturday that it had killed Hassan Nasrallah, the longtime leader of Hezbollah, in an airstrike on the organization’s underground headquarters near Beirut on Friday. Hezbollah has not commented on the Israeli claim. In the statement announcing Mr. Nasrallah’s death, the Israeli military also said the strike had killed Ali Karaki, the commander of the southern front in Hezbollah, along with several other Hezbollah leaders.

Most of the rockets, cruise missiles and drones launched overnight were intercepted by Israel’s missile defense. But at least one struck a residential neighborhood in the town of Kiryat Bialik early Sunday morning, setting cars on fire, badly damaging a half-dozen houses, shattering windows. Roughly 45,000 people live in Kiryat Bialik.
Doctors Without Borders said Tuesday it has closed its operations in Russia after 32 years, citing a Justice Ministry letter that said the medical aid group had been removed from a register of foreign nongovernmental organizations. MSF has been in Russia since 1992 and has operated programs that provided aid for homeless people and migrants, tuberculosis treatment, and general health care including for infectious diseases such as AIDS. Russia has banned a wide array of international organizations, groups and movements on the grounds that they threaten the state.

Zuckerberg claims that “Open Source AI Is the Path Forward.” While it’s easy to agree with Zuckerberg’s sentiment, Llama 3.1 isn’t truly open source and wouldn’t meet the criteria for compliance under the OSAID. This raises important questions about how to engage with Meta: should the open-source community push them away, or guide them toward creating OSAID-compliant models?

WASHINGTON D.C., DC — A federal grand jury indicted a man on Thursday with one count of "causing bodily harm to an individual due to his actual or perceived religion."

Early Sunday, Hezbollah, which is based in Lebanon and backed by Iran, launched missiles at northern Israel in retaliation for that, as well as for the wave of Israeli attacks over previous days. Though Hezbollah’s barrage set off alarms in roughly 70 towns across northern Israel, most of the missiles were intercepted. There were reports of only minor injuries in Israel on Sunday. Hezbollah has regularly been firing missiles at Israel ever since October, when Hamas led the invasion into Israel that set off the current war. But the most recent attacks represent an uptick in the conflict along Israel’s northern border.
