Reminded me of this sketch I watched recently on YouTube

Does it work with SELinux though?

I’ve tried both Nix and Lix and ended up having to disable SELinux for both

Don’t you guys [NZ] literally have a spelling bee comedy panel TV show?

people have a very hard time with the idea that language in general […] evolve[s] over time

Writing is not language. Speaking is language (edit: in this particular case), and there’s no phonetic change here. If a spelling is due to another language that the parents, or really anyone, speak, that’s fine. But if your language (read: English) has such a terrible spelling system that people can do these things completely arbitrarily and the spelling is still somewhat readable, there’s something wrong with that writing system (not with the people!)

The Either monad (also known as Result) provides Go-like error handling, but automated. You only check manually for errors after the last call, the monad handles the process.

But this is just one example of a monad, there are many more.

I agree, obviously. I think when people try to “both sides” this, as it seems, they’re not talking about victims of genocide. Hamas, as the Palestinian leadership in Gaza, have been receiving literal briefcases of money from Israel for years; you can’t call them [the governmental and especially military organization] victims of Israel.

Not being victims doesn’t make them automatically bad. You might argue that armed resistance is necessary to oppose occupation and ethnic cleansing, and that’s a legitimate point. I’d say that Hamas, in this case, being the lesser evil, is still an evil, but it doesn’t only exist to be evil: it exists to fight the bigger evil. Perhaps there’s a not-evil way to fight the occupying power, I don’t know. But what Hamas (& other resistance organizations) have been doing is definitely not working for them. Some might say that it’s backfired massively¹.

It depends on how you choose to view this conflict. It can be a conflict of Israel against Palestine (or Israel against Gaza), and in this dichotomic view, the moral option is obviously supporting the Palestinians, Hamas included. But this view doesn’t necessarily represent reality. It can also be a conflict between people who want peace² between the Jordan and the Mediterranean, and those who don’t, on whichever “side” they happen to be. In this case, it’s imperative to support (actual, not fake) humanitarian foundations in Gaza, and organizations in Israel trying to fight this from within, but oppose escalation in armed conflict. By this view, the conflict is of Israel as a country (a government and military), not a nation, and Hamas as a military, not a representative of the Palestinians, against the Palestinian population³.

My point is that this thread is just arguing over terminology. There is a genocide, we oppose the people facilitating the genocide, and we support the victims. It doesn’t get much more complicated.

Footnotes (yes I used footnotes in a lemmy comment):
1: The one doing the genocide is obviously Israel. Blaming Hamas for bringing this on their own people is disingenuous, but on the other hand, you can’t say that they didn’t know this was going to happen, especially with this Israeli government.
2: Peace is complicated, but for a start we can consider people who oppose genocide, ethnic cleansing, military occupation, and illegal settlements. The optimal solution is the one-state solution, which not everyone accepts, but you work with what you have.
3: There is some effect on the Israeli population, though it’s negligible compared to genocide. Both Israel and Hamas have to maintain some level of support within their respective population, but Israel being way more powerful and the support threshold for Hamas being lower result in a relatively smaller impact on the Israeli population.

It says “strawberry morning”, lit. “morning of strawberry” (might be misspelled??)
It’s a variation on common Arabic morning greetings, “good morning”, “morning of roses”, “morning of light”, etc.

Floor/door and poor might differ depending on dialect

And the whole point of zoology and cooperative is that they aren’t digraphs (hence why some super posh people write coöperative)

Definitely. East and Southeast Asia, the entire Indian subcontinent, most of the Middle East and parts of Greece and (maybe) Italy?!

So unbalanced.

Many more basic Emacs keybindings work, actually! Including C-f, C-b, C-p and C-n (if you prefer them over arrow keys) as well as M-f and M-b to move by words, C-k, M-d and C-y for killing/yanking (but not M-w) and C-SPC, C-w, C-x C-x for region manipulation (tested in Bash and ZSH)

For some reason, Lot and his family were considered the only ones worth saving in that city.

Only because Abraham pleaded with God to save them

Yes. Is it all religious fanatics? No, that’s a minority. Secular Zionism is a thing too.

Kind of? Zionism started as a secular movement, and although Israel still has a secular majority, we’ve seen a kind of inversion where the religious Zionists have become the most extreme and committed. Don’t get me wrong: Zionism is still dependent on the consent and support of the secular majority, and wouldn’t be able to achieve anything without it, but now it’s largely being pulled further right by the religious branch,

Not necessarily of two-party systems or FPTP, I think this is a property of single-member districts in general. If you have multi-member districts (say 4 or 5 representatives per district) this becomes much less effective. Statewide PR solves this by removing districts, which for most people isn’t ideal.

Are H and J compatible?

I can see the instagram version with yt-dlp

I interpret this being more about how GNOME apps function in general, also on other desktops, which is fair criticism.

Yeah AFAIK Mandarin is official in Taiwan but a few others (chiefly Hokkien) are common.

That’s literally feminism

May I remind you that Israel also (allegedly) has nukes?
