I just double checked, because I couldn’t believe this, but you are right. If you ask about estimates of the Sudanese war (starting in 2023) it reports estimates between 5.000–15.000.

Its seems like Gemini is highly politically biased.

Thank you! I don’t get why they use such weird measurements. Why not use %?

Generally one of the best tech channels!

Incredible how many fake news regarding Gaza are on lemmy. The public library in New York has not been closed due to budget cuts. Thats plain and simple fake news: https://www.nypl.org/speakout

Thats simply incorrect. For example ‘Deutschlandfunk Der Tag’ did a long series (~5 hours) about the impact of the war on Palestinians living under Hamas occupation during the war and their feelings towards Israel. They even did a Meta-report ‘How much attention does the dying in Gaza get in german media’ where they interviewed Salma Abuzaina, a Palestine activist in germany.

Maybe you just don’t consume public funded media if you haven’t heard any report about it. The conflict between reporting on Palestinian deaths and Isreali deaths without negating the suffering of any of the parties is a huge topic in german media.

And there you are in one of the culture wars discussions we currently have in Germany. While progressives are using gendered nouns specificing which genders you are referring too (for example: Tänzerinnen and Tänzer – often abbreviated Tänzer*innen – if you had female and male dancers, Tänzerinnen if only female and Tänzer if only male), conservatives want to keep the old tradition of making a group of people male once a single male is included.

This has real world implications, though. There are jobs which are often gendered female – typically lower paid jobs like kindergarden teacher or nurse – and others are typically gendered male, like engineer or politican. There have been a couple studies with children where children were asked if their could think of taking a specified job. And if the job gender matched their gender, they were more likely to see themselves suitable for that job. And if you now remember that engineers are typically referred to as male and nurses are typically referred as female, this is one expiation on why Germany has one of the largest uncorrected gender pay gaps in Europe.

Its not open source, but if you really want to you can use an offline version. In this case no data gets shared at all.

I use Typewise. A swiss company, by far the best keyboard layout and they don’t use any data from what you type.

So if someone attacks you and threatens to eradicate everyone in your country and has their rocket launchers on top of hospitals, hides their fighter in refugee camps, and has their operation offices under schools, what do you do:

1. Nothing

2. Tell all civilians to leave and bomb schools, hospitals and refugee camps.

The main problem is Hamas using Palestinians as shields. There is almost 0 uproar against Hamas in here. But its their fault Palestinians are dying.

Pretty sure North America looked different in 2015 AD.

And Russia completely missing. Russia is the biggest profiteer of this war by far!

Thats a complete arbitrary point in time. Why that one and not one hundred years earlier during the ottoman empire?

1. The 20 % deposit has to be taken into the calculation as well.

2. You are completly neglecting insurance.

3. You are negleticing maintanance.

4. You are comparing two different properties.

This only talks about rent. And when rent increases, so does the value of the property, because you can get more money as rents are higher.

If you now consider the amount of work you have to invest into owning property and the associated risk of owning a house or flat, in an ideal market its simply not possible.

And while the housing market is imperfect due to the high burden for entrance, I have never seen a proper calculation where mortage, insurance and maintanance comes out lower than renting.

And, as a matter of fact, it doesnt even in your own example Sydney: https://www.smh.com.au/money/saving/as-costs-soar-is-it-cheaper-to-rent-or-buy-20230407-p5cywp.html

My mortgage is cheaper than Rest

That doesn’t make any sense. Unless the market at your country is completly broken, that simply does not happen.

Wars are older than capitalism.

Atheism and Feminism. Both have shown to lead to more pacifistic societies.
