dead [he/him]@hexbear.netto chat@hexbear.net•My friend won't pirate movies for security purposesEnglish9·8 hours agoI’m not a lawyer, but my understanding of US copyright law is that it’s a violation of copyright law to share (upload) copyrighted material that you don’t own, not a violation to receive (download) copyrighted material. The technicality that people have been sued for using peer-to-peer software where the user both uploads and downloads the copyrighted files.
Also copyright infringement in most circumstance is a civil infringement, not a criminal infringement. This means that you are only prosecuted by the copyright holder, the rights holder could try to sue you in court. The US government won’t prosecute you for copyright infringement unless you are making money from it or are operating a large scale distribution operation. However, it is very difficult for a rights holder to track you down and it’s costly for them to prove it in court, so they don’t bother.
Use a VPN when you use peer to peer software to share files.

dead [he/him]@hexbear.netOPto politics@hexbear.net•Trump ambushes South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with false claims of white genocide, forces him to watch "Kill the Boer" video compilationEnglish12·11 hours agoThank you for contributing your analysis.
I don’t like to post in the megathread. I’m not going to post in the megathread. In my opinion, posting every news article into one thread goes completely against the design of lemmy and link-aggregators in general. It’s difficulty to read and navigate the megathread. It’s impossible to view the megathread alongside other instances. On a link aggregator website, links should be posts and comments should be user discussion.
I post things that I think are interesting. I will admit that I did not write a full analysis of the meeting. I noticed that nobody had created a post about the meeting. I chose to center my post around Trump forcing the South African president to watch a twitter propaganda video because it was the most outlandish part of the meeting and I think unfortunately most people don’t read a full analysis of a press meeting. The themes of “white genocide” and “kill the boer” also relate to the news stories from the past week where Elon’s AI started spamming those same terms.
The post links to an article by The Guardian. The Guardian has a longer analysis of the meeting. The Guardian article mentions the South African Billionaire and the golfers. I also included a link to the full video for people who are interested.
I wish you would make posts of important things as posts instead of dumping comments into 1 thread. I can understand putting lesser known stories into a megathread. In my opinion, confining the top news stories of the day inside of the megathread makes Hexbear into a worse website.

dead [he/him]@hexbear.netto chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•This Nikkei newspaper comic on the "US political divide"English5·13 hours agoIt’s meant to depict City vs Suburb. Most cities are dominated by Democrat voters even in red states. Republicans hate cities. Republicans constantly make up conspiracy theories that cities are full of crime and undocumented immigrants. That’s why Trump always rants about “Democrat-run cities”.
dead [he/him]@hexbear.netOPto politics@hexbear.net•Trump ambushes South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with false claims of white genocide, forces him to watch "Kill the Boer" video compilationEnglish23·15 hours agoVery good point. It would seem as though Trump is spreading the “white genocide” conspiracy theory to distract from the real genocide that Israel is doing in Gaza.

Trump proclaims that this is a burial site of over 1000 murdered white farmers. This is not a burial site. The Witkruis Monument is a privately-owned memorial which displays painted white crosses to symbolically show farm murders. The Witkruis Monument refuses to commemorate murders of non-white farmers and has been photographed flying the old South African flag in support of apartheid.

The same video is being uploaded on all the right wing channels, fox news, oan, newsmax. Those channels have taken clips from the meeting and are framing it as the South Africa President denying white genocide. It’s all over right wing twitter.

It seems like Trump is trying to use the brother to influence the Pope.

I saw Hasan say that he is fully on board with people bullying Asmongold at this point. He says that he tries to be charitable to people who are willing to be changed but also he also recognizes that some people are too far gone.

The New Republic is a reliable magazine. It names the doctor in the article. Dr Zeke Emanuel is a doctor who worked for Biden, not as a Biden’s personal doctor but as a policy advisor for COVID. He even has a wikipedia article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezekiel_Emanuel
The title is misleading click-bait. The title says “Doctor who worked with Biden says he had cancer for years”. By this title, you are misled into thinking that the doctor knew that Biden had cancer, but the title doesn’t say that. The doctor worked for Biden’s covid policy panel and Biden has late stage cancer, therefore this doctor made the inference now that Biden must have had cancer for a long time.
The article does not say that this doctor was aware of the cancer previously.

“Truth be told, until the last of the hostages returns, we should also not let water into the Gaza Strip. But the reality is that if we do that, the world will force us to halt the war immediately, and to lose. It would be winning the battle, and losing the war. I’m committed to winning the war,” Smotrich declared. “We are disassembling Gaza, and leaving it as piles of rubble, with total destruction [which has] no precedent globally. And the world isn’t stopping us. There are pressures. There are those who attack [us]; they are trying to [make us] stop; they are not succeeding. You know why they aren’t succeeding? Because we are navigating [the campaign] responsibly and wisely, and that’s how we’ll continue to do [it]."

I had made this post about their first 5000-ton destroyer warship being launch last month. These are some images of the first ship.
