Israel green-lights Cypriot aid plan for Palestinians as military pounds central Gaza – POLITICO
Of course they green light this, they will take over Gaza and then decide how the aid is distributed.
@zleap There are sectors of the Netanyahu administration that would like to do just that...They've tried to shush them some in the news, but I've seen some of the comments...
I get the impression, too, the west bank is also a target.
@zleap Yep. I don't post all the news I've read on it, because my most frequent news sources have slants I'm uncomfortable with as being fair enough to share, but I see enough.
Agreed, the Link I posted from the BBC about google and privacy has the line
"The class action sought at least $5bn (£3.9bn) from the world's go-to search engine and parent company Alphabet."
So the fact they say
"world's go-to search engine"
May not seem very much or significant, until you start thinking on a subliminal level this sort of text works as a way to make people think google = search.
@zleap Don't use Google any more for search, except very rarely, and haven't in a number of years and I definitely don't get my news through them. But we still say "googling" as a synonym for searching in my house. A person who's good at search keywords is said to have good "Google-fu" too...I think the google=search bridge was crossed a long time ago. But yeah, the meme-ification of things impacts our perceptions. Which is why I am somewhat careful on what I share.
Good point, kinda like saying I will face book you or let's have a teams meeting. Or Zoom meeting.
I don't't use any of these services, but our psyche has changed.
Thing is, I can't really say I will Mastodon you, or I will Fediverse you when saying I will send you a message.
@zleap Last I heard it was toot...but probably it doesn't have widespread use...and non Mastodon folk probably would never have heard of it.
Good point, as Mastodon is one part of the fediverse, and saying fediverse is preferred, as it referes to any of the many services, we perhaps need a common verb that fits.
Yeah
So what verbal are used on other Fediverse platforms to mean the same as toot?
@zleap not sure. Mastodon is the only part of the fediverse I have much experience with, but that would be a point to start with.
@zleap That would be useful!
