i have removed comments that were celebrating the death of hamas and hezbollah leaders so i do commit to being fair in my removals

“calls for violence in any form against any living creature” are a violation of lemmy.world terms of service. Comments calling for or celebrating violence will be removed, and may result in additional moderation actions

Hi there, we talked on discord but thought I’d make a comment here too.

Not from Asia/Aus region but due to my timezone and work I am available in the peak activity time for those regions.

I think that I would be a good fit for the team as I have had months of experience working with the c/world and c/politics team. I like to encourage discussion on these very important topics by following the community rules and acting on reports made by users promptly and with my own bias acknowledged. I choose not to comment much in the discussion as I feel that a moderators’ presence should be seen through the discussion not heard in the discussion itself.

I don’t think I would change anything as the community here is already fantastic and I just want to help out the existing team!

Thank you for your efforts to make lemmy.world the best

Good idea, thanks

The other source has different quotations and telesur articles may have poor sourcing however this one has direct quotes from Pope Franci’s speech.

"There is no agreement among scholars regarding the origin of the ethnonym Sinti (also called Sinte). A popular etymology among the Sinti is that their self-appellation is based on the Pakistani province of ‘Sindh’.

Such explanation indicate that the Sinti were already before the migration to Europe distinct from the Roma, a fact which supports the Sinti in underlining their separate iden- tity. Nevertheless, there is no doubt about that the ethnonym Sinti cannot be of Indic origin, since the word ‘Sinti’ is inflected as Eu- ropean loanwords (see the below table).

It however remains unclear from which contact language was the word Sinti borrowed and what was its original meaning. Based on historical sources, Matras (1999) assumes that the ethnonym Sinti turned up at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries and was used as a name of a particular Romani group among the German Roma.

The original endonym of the group was Kale, a Romani group name which is widespread also in other Western and Norther European coun- tries. The new group name Sinti seems to completely replace the older name Kale in the beginning of the 20th century."

I think that they are different based on their history:

https://sfi.usc.edu/education/roma-sinti/en/conosciamo-i-roma-e-i-sinti/chi-sono/da-dove-vengono-il-nome/il-nome-rom-sinto-zingaro.php

"“Roma” (or Sinto, Manouche, Kalo, Romanichal) and “Gypsy” (or nomad, Gitano, Bohemien, Sarrasin, Heiden etc.) are not the same thing and they are not synonyms. These terms refer to the same people but viewed and designated differently.

“Roma” is the word (ethnonym) that the Roma use to describe themselves: it is the term for the members of that specific people and it is Romani for “man”. “Gypsy” is a derogatory, disparaging term – for many an insult — used by the majority population to define the Roma people."

Sinti are a subgroup of Romani mostly in Germany and Central Europe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinti

"The Sinti migrated to Germany in the early 15th century … [in]1899, the police kept a central register on Sinti, Roma, and Yenish peoples

This isn’t an editorial, and it is direct, attributed sourcing to “The report, a product of the society’s Centre on US-China Relations and the 21st Century China Centre at the University of California at San Diego”

It is what the article’s original text is, but I agree with HikingVet that it is probably meant to be Chile

just eat strawberries in front of a fan maybe ill get a nice pod with pretty images and music when i go…

a bicycle powered generator would save me so much on heating bills

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll try that

I’m really confused lol, that is not me I have this account and one on beehaw.

How strange I had a different comment but I edited it and it changed to that one …

I like to use “Hot” instead of active as it seems to fetch posts from a more diverse set of communities

I’ve also heard that view by new comments is solid as well

Yes I agree, having laws against fake-news is really important now that A.I can quickly write bogus stories and image/video deep fakes are easily made

Female and old enough to be an avid user of IRC, AOL chatrooms, Myspace, etc.

I had an account on another instance that used to be federated but is no longer so I made one here.

I kindly ask you to judge me on my words/actions not on when my account was made

As per the rules of the community:

“No spamming: Please do not post the same content multiple times or post links to irrelevant websites.”

While I did make many posts within a short period of time none of them are the same content and are all relevant websites. I am able to be active during specific times of the day so I post the world news articles when I receive them from breaking news sites.

I was banned because I was suspected of being a bot and asked to provide proof which I did and was unbanned, that is fair moderation in my opinion to try and keep out post bots.

From the article: “adopting new rules for tech firms that include disclosure of copyrighted and AI-generated content” “EU lawmakers in June agreed to a trailblazing set of draft rules, which would make companies such as ChatGPT operator OpenAI disclose AI-generated content, help distinguish so-called deep fake images from real ones and ensure safeguards against illegal content.”

So in pursuits of protecting artists & data which is in line with the GDPR, while reducing the amount of disinformation that these types of technologies can create.
