Boycott. Please remember to boycott. Only these three. You can make a difference.
please be aware that the palestinian BDS national committee has an official list of companies you are currently encouraged to boycott, and it is not the same as what is included in this graphic. while this post is partially correct in encouraging targeted vs untargeted boycotts (see the second image below for why this is important), it is also vital that everybody is on the same page as to what specifically is being targeted
as of october 23rd 2023 (the date the above graphics were tweeted) and october 30th 2023 (the official website) the companies that BDS is specifically targeting are:
AXA
Puma
Carrefour
HP
Siemens
Ahava
Sodastream
Sabra
as the graphic indicates the BDS movement supports & encourages the additional boycotts of dominos, mcdonalds, papa john’s, pizza hut, and burger king. disney and starbucks are not explicitly mentioned by their official channels at the present time. if consumers choose to boycott these companies as well it should be in addition to & not instead of the companies on the official list
as a general rule, please avoid sharing boycott lists & graphics that do not come directly from the BDS movement themselves or which do not reflect the list currently on their website. circulating incomplete or inaccurate lists, even when they’re as small as the above, is just as confusing and misleading to the consumer as those massive 60-brand long lists
Reminder again that Sabra = Obela in Australia and Aotearoa! Don’t buy Obela hummus!
firefox just started doing this too so remember kids if you want to stream things like netflix or hulu over discord without the video being blacked out you just have to disable hardware acceleration in your browser settings!
for the people saying this might be too difficult: idk about chrome but in firefox it just goes
> open settings
> search “hardware acceleration” and there should only be one result
> uncheck use recommended performance settings
> uncheck use hardware acceleration
done!
Since I’m looking at the comments and seeing a lot of people asking what hardware acceleration is and getting wildly incorrect answers, here you go. This is what hardware acceleration is. It’s not DRM, and it’s not placing a limit on memory usage (unless you have weird definitions for both “memory” and “placing a limit”).
This is what hardware acceleration is:
“Do you just have a graphic for this on hand at all times?”
Palestinian children’s wishes for the new year. (In Gaza).
[I/D #1]: Little girl with black hair in Gaza, Palestine saying, “I hope to see the sea again. Please Allah let our life go back to normal in the new year.”
[I/D #2]: A little girl in a pink sweater saying, “I wish for the war to stop. I want to go back to my house and to my school. My name is Haya.”
[I/D #3]: A girl in a red sweater: “My name is Roa. It is very cold here. It is freezing. I hope the war comes to an end so we can go back to our houses.”
[I/D #4]: A little boy wearing a hood saying, “We have seen a lot of hardships. Our life is very difficult. We can’t sleep and we don’t have food or water.”
[I/D 5]: A little girl in a bright pink sweater saying, “I hope to go back to our house in the new year and to play with our friends again. We got sick and tired of this current”
[I/D #6]: A little boy with light brown hair saying, “I wish for the war to stop” he is smiling
[I/D #7]: A little boy wearing a red shirt with white stars on it saying, “In the new year, I hope to go back to my house and to play again with my friends. This year was difficult”
[I/D #8]: A little boy wearing a black and white jacket saying, “I wish to go back to my home in the new year. I wish to experience a good life, like everyone in the world.”
[I/D #9]: a little boy wearing a dark bluish grey sweater saying, “I hope in the new year to go back to my school!”
[I/D #10]: A little boy with a black jacket and dark blonde hair saying, “I wish that the war will come to an end. I hope we will go back, together with our families, safe to our houses:”
While you celebrate the new year, remember Gaza and Palestine. These are actual lives.
Remember: While fireworks light up your skies, bombs light up theirs. Free Palestine and end the occupation!
Yemen didn’t kill a single person when they were taking over those ships and rerouting them out of the Red Sea.
America killed an entire crew of Yemenis in the water today.
Muslims have always done everything possible to avoid unnecessary killing while America tries to kill as many people as possible and still labels the Muslims as the terrorists. [@/ Laddin_ on X. 12/31/23]
there’s a weird new genre of post where people are getting angry about seeing a post they’re not interested in or seeing a post too many times on their dash. and I have to assume they’ve come from other social media sites and are used to having everything on their feed tailored to them. like you’re just gonna have to strategically follow and unfollow people, you can’t expect real human beings to do the work of an algorithm for you
like content warnings are one thing, people on here will usually give you those if you ask, but if you come to someone like “can you tag half the shit you post it bores me” they’re gonna be like bro unfollow me then
