  • Warning: the holographic cheese may contain (non toxic) glue

  • I like the term "extermination" which the ICC's chief prosecutor used in his charging document against Bibi.

    Genocide requires intent. There is at least the possibility that Israel is merely showing careless disregard and willful ignorance towards Palestinian lifes. That doesn't make a practical difference, of course. The fact that Israel is maybe? not as racist as they could be, doesn't help all the dead or starving civilians.

    That's why I like the term extermination. It's precise but doesn't require intent. It doesn't imply that Israels interest in defeating Hamas is merely a smokescreen (for the record: I don't think Hamas can be defeated militarily, but I understand the interest).

    And it does all that without being a euphemism.

    Edit: a previous version of this contained a Freudian slip where I confused the names of Biden and Netanjau.

  • In other words Airdrop for Linux that works with both iOS and Android.

    May I introduce you to LocalSend

  • I've just tried building Thunder for desktop and it works fine so far without any tweaks nessesary. In fact I'm writing this comment using this very build.

    If there's interest I might be looking into turning this into a proper flatpak.

  • Neo store has had that feature for some time as well

  • The Eurovision Song Contest is organized by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) an organization set up to regulate TV tech. In short they exist to make sure a TV bought in Spain also works in Sweden. As such the EBU also grants full membership to countries that are not part of Europe but have strong economic ties with the continent and therefore are part of the European Broadcasting Area. That's how we got Israel in the contest. Australia also competes because (a) they are an associate member (b) they have an long history of airing the contest even before they competed (c) they spend a large sum of money every year to make the EBU forget where exactly Australia is located.

    The US doesn't participate but a couple of years ago NBC bought the rights and tried to mount an "American Song Contest". It didn't work all that well because it was hamstrung by the rigid structure of American network TV. The ESC works (in part) because it is three nights only and they tried to make an entire season of television.
