Yeah, I wonder about that too sometimes. Perhaps a matter of hardware choices or just plain taste.

Sure. Rolling distros aren’t an “advanced form” of Linux though, just different.

Yes. This is why humanity desperately needs a global government, and I’m saying that without irony. The deep problems on how to govern such a thing still exist, though. We all know how easily democracy can be corrupted, for instance, so that’s clearly not the magic answer. The people who are currently powerful would actively resist such a thing, and since they’re powerful, they will be successful in resisting it.

An obvious route to such a thing would be using incredible amounts of violence against the currently powerful, and then this world government would be based on violence. Also not a good starting point.

We could just give the reins to AI at some point? Perhaps 99% of sci-fi writers writing about this outcome are just deluded and don’t know what they’re imagining. I volunteer to write and operate that AI.

If we speak seriously, I think it’s perfectly fine that a newspaper or individual reporters have biases. But I think it would be a good idea to declare those biases clearly.

My local media in Finland has fortunately started to at least include where they received the information and add “hasn’t been confirmed from impartial sources” when appropriate. But they all still made the initial mistake of reporting immediately after the hospital strike the number of casualties and Israel as the culprit as a truth.

Was it expected that he would win? It’s a rather radical departure in the traditionally peronist Argentina that he would become even the second in the first round of this race.

I mean it’s not really rolling, but since this is Linux Gaming, I recommend checking out Nobara Linux. It’s a Fedora fork made by GloriousEggroll of the proton-GE fame. It’s the easiest Linux gaming experience I’ve had so far, at least with the non-modified Gnome version.

IMHO, you should avoid KDE – I’ve had nothing but bad experiences there – but if that’s your favourite poison go ahead.

That’s an amazing question.

Just reporting the truth about Palestinian deaths instead of plainly forwarding everything Hamas tells them might look like “playing down”. If such truths are even available.

Hamas are obviously fascistic, and they were voted in by Palestinians. Which means that IDF is being an antifascist in their current operations. Punch a nazi and all that.

Before or after murdering a thousand civilians and celebrating those murders in streaming services?

That’s exactly what they’re doing in Gaza.

You know, you could just block me. Then we wouldn’t have to have this conversation. I guess I could just do it to you, but you haven’t really done anything to deserve that.

I haven’t heard of LGBTQ people marching for Ukraine. But it seems to be at least officially bit different, since the official statements from Ukraine have been pro-LGBTQ rights since Zelenskyi became president. The people haven’t caught up yet, though, but they will if it goes like it went in Europe in the 90s. And it helps that they’re fighting Russia, who are anti-LGBTQ from the people to the government.

A. You don’t know that, especially if the terms are seen as fair and just. An apartheid or an open air prison is neither.

Of course I do not, but I think it’s a good guess.

B. What’s the alternative? Genocide and ethnic cleansing?

No solution is great for this thing. This comment on Tildes seems to give a sombre possible direction:

Yes, that does. I think they should read their Popper more carefully, though. I guess it feels to me a bit like what it feels to a leftist person when a poor person votes for neoliberal policies.

Good thing no one cares about your opinion then.

Do you know what it would look like if that was true? It wouldn’t look like this.

Something like 80% of the water they get from Isreal is contaminated.

Would’ve been nice if all the foreign aid that was supposed to go to improving the water situation there would have gone to improving the water situation there.

Mowing the lawn

Perhaps IDF is doing that this time as well, but it also sounds like they’re ripping it off by the roots this time. Dunno if that’s something they actually can do.
