Other places in the Fediverse:

Antisemitism to Palestinian support is like misandry to feminism. Yeah, some people might be guilty of it (and those who are, misunderstand the latter ideologies), but it's way overrepresented in opposing media, who is often guilty of such issues itself.

We need laws mandating respect of robots.txt. This is what happens when you don’t codify stuff

This isn't a new discovery, is it? People already know about this, it's been like this for years. This has always been one of Netanyahu's many criticisms, even at home.

Fine, but, like, don't recommend Vivaldi. Also, if you disable the Brave ads, you're not really supporting them, while still getting the benefits.

Everything is reverse-engineered, and different people work on different stuff. It’s not like the resources devoted to OpenGL could be diverted to microphone support, that’s a completely different skill set.

Why would anyone identify by their political ideology? Or worse, by a single party??

The Israeli government doesn't even represent all Israelis, let alone all Jews. Does represent the vast majority unfortunately

Use whatever you want. But do consider if you want to contribute to Google's monopoly, and if you want to use an open-source browser.

  • Vivaldi Browser is not open source. Better use Brave than that…
  • If you still really hate Firefox, Ungoogled Chromium which is basically Chrome with all the Google stuff removed.
  • All of the above do still contribute to Google's monopoly, so I would really encourage Firefox or a fork.
  • Barring that, you could also get away with a WebKit browser (like GNOME web, Nyxt). Although WebKit is developed by Apple, it's still open source and doesn't look particularly bad. If you're on a Mac, Safari is an option, but it's closed source.

Every once in a while, you can refresh your memory by reading the man page.

Or if, like me, you use Emacs, Magit exposes everything quite clearly.

Have you read Discworld?

Use double n, that’s the archaic way of spelling that (tilde derives from n on top of another n)

Different languages have different conventions. For example, the standardized variety of my language allows 11/(0)9/2001, 11/(0)9/01, 11.(0)9.2001, 11.(0)9.01, 2001-09-11, 2001/09/11, 2001.09.11 (personally I usually use 11/09 without the year and 2001-09-11 with the year).

That’s an invalid dictionary argument and you know it. To clarify, when I said “antisemitism” I meant “a discriminatory attitude towards Jews” or something along those lines

And Lemmy/kbin obviously

Stick to one of the major distros, not some little-known derivative. Also, please avoid Manjaro, it's horribly broken, and Ubuntu, because snap. It essentially just comes down to how you want to manage your packages.

Edit: VirtualBox is fully supported on Linux, but QEMU/KVM is better.

People have different opinions on how packages should be managed. Of course, there are some package managers which are very similar to each other (DNF and zypper have the same backend), but they can also get really different (Nix/Guix and pacman are basically completely opposite in philosophy). It comes down to preference, and you can't force anything.

I’ve never tried NixOS, but it looks really promising.

I usually use Fedora or OpenSUSE, which have good software availability (unfortunately not as good as the AUR). Fedora provides selinux by default, and has profiles for basically everything. SUSE uses AppArmor, but Arch doesn’t provide convenient configuration for either, and only supports x86_64 (which is why I switched away from it).

I'd argue that if they put up a Palestinian flag, it's clear that Palestine is being referred to.

In principle, though, I agree with your first point

And “get”!

About that last point, you don’t really need to. Internet people like to show off their customized desktops and systems, but in reality using a “just works” distribution requires very little headache and time. Except for the time spent choosing it, that is

Not sure if they have that kind of processing power. Also, couldn’t you modify the player to skip them?

Not Welsh, but I think it’s a compound with successive elements ending and starting with ll

Sorry, I'm just still used to Reddit, where people say stuff like this completely seriously.

A good password manager encrypts your passwords with your own master password (and if you don’t trust them, use an open source one like Bitwarden)—so, even if it gets hacked, your passwords are not immediately compromised. You should take even more measures, like using 2FA such as your phone or a physical key, which basically makes you invincible. Way better than remembering passwords.

On my own system, but usually for remote work I use Vim as it’s easier to make usable

Not really, because of accent differences. The best you could do is account for all phonemes distinguished across standardized varieties, regardless of their phonetic realization. Of course, you couldn't possibly account for all of them (e.g. distinguishing the Australian /æ/ vs /æː/ would be troublesome for British and American speakers).

Does anyone know how the amount of information is actually derived? The article just says “researchers calculated”
