I have no doubt the research is useful but this article just seems like speculative “scare mongering” to try to make the research seem like it’s “more important” to non-scientists than it may seem. And it may spawn a bunch of “want to use your satnav better? scientists say you should read more!” type fluff articles.

This will … Take time…

I know it’s going to get me modded down but social change is very hard. Change too fast and you generate a conservative backlash. And if those conservatives weild political power then you have rebellion.

It sounds like some of the reforms should be quite meaningful though - being allowed to drive opens up a lot of opportunity that was previously denied.

This is kinda like saying "people who exercise have different arms .

Sorta. If the log file is open then your rm won’t take effect until the application closes the file. You won’t see the file anymore but it will still be taking up space. So if nginx is running when you delete the logs you may need to either stop it or restart it depending on how nginx handles this.

Is it? The white balance is so bad the squirrel’s stomach looks blue. It’s just a bad photo of a squirrel. Why is it being upvoted?

So maybe next time have a conversation rather than just telling somebody “that’s untrue”? No need to be weirdly adversarial…

That said - you raise some good points. I’m not ignoring anything though. You’re acting like my “concern” is saying “things will go bad” when it’s not.

What claims? You just say things that pop in your mind too. Where are your sources?

This is a bit of an aside but… What I find interesting is that people on Lemmy decry x/twitter’s “lax policies” and yet Lemmy has practically zero moderation. There are whole communities calling for the literal death of CEOs or even just people who drive cars.

Which all supports the both-sideism that people here get all pissy over. They just can’t see that they are two sides of a coin. Communities here are just as violent and toxic - they just do it from a liberal rather than conservative pov.

What is untrue? My concern? How can my concern be “untrue?”

The skills needed to be a revolutionary are very different from the skills needed to govern. Remember when the taliban was “kinder and softer” for a few months?

I’ll be happy if my concern is misplaced. But time will tell.

Well… Yeah. But do the rebels care about that? Or do they just feel that Asad was just torturing and murdering the wrong people? And do they feel that Assad was just not following the koran closely enough by allowing women to be educated?

Rebellion against oppression often leads to a different type of oppression, and given the groups these rebels have been associated with in the past it’s concerning at least.

I gotcha - though I personally wouldn’t choose the word “freedom” for that. “Uncertainty” is more appropriate I’d say. The future of the nation will be up to the rebels, not the people. They won’t get any say unless the new regime lets them.

“The king is dead! Long live the king!” and all that…

I don’t know what to tell you - people always think there must be a “good” option, and if the current one is bad then any other option must therefore be good.

This could also be a radical regime like the Taliban that could actually be worse for most people.

This is not “what freedom looks like” this is “what a violent rebellion looks like”. There are good odds that the new regime will be as bad or even worse. People who overthrow a power with military force aren’t often interested in sharing that power afterwards.

If by “toys” you mean like “linux” and “git” then no.

That’s great when my bank only uses sms for mfa though.

Seriously, bank and credit card companies need to get with the program more than me and my friends.

As much as I agree that it’s an overreaction it’s not really just one event at issue here.
