Is there any immutable distro that's based on Hyprland? I really like their approach to tiling, but at the same time I prefer to have a solid experience without worrying that the next update might break some dependencies.

Can someone ELI5 how this isn't recognised as a terrorism?

Notwithstanding this flood of official condemnations, the authorities do not appear to be in any hurry to bring the perpetrators to justice; only one person was arrested in the aftermath of the attack, and subsequently released. Settler impunity has long been the norm: according to data from the Israeli human rights group Yesh Din, 97 percent of police files opened into cases of settler violence since 2005 have been closed without convictions.

Then do it yourself if you think this can be done so easily.

Great, but creating such an app would require someone to foot the bill for hosting user data, the web app and this can easily amount to quite a substantial sum. Not to mention that supporting this app would also be quite time consuming.

But believe me without the US backing all those killings of foreign nationals in foreign countries will cease and they won't act with the same level of impunity.

But maybe people elect politicians, and perhaps they should look for their constituents rights first? I know that's an utopia, but imagine the world...

 

I am anxiously following the real estate market and prices are far outpacing the wage growth, making real estate really unaffordable for a lot of people, and yet there is very little political will from politicians to do anything about it.

This is especially true for desirable areas and big cities, and slowly pushing low earners to the outskirts and even outside towns. I know plenty of people who hoarded multiple properties and now they simply rent them through Airbnb or booking not to mention big corporations trying to snap even more and rent them at outrageous prices. While plenty of people cannot afford even rent in those cities.

Mind you I am not US based, but I know that this is pretty much a world phenomenon for quite a few years who got really accelerated by the COVID pandemic, but its effect will cripple future generations severely who will never be able to purchase their own roof over their head and they will forever be stuck with ever increasing rents increasing enormously the financial burden of those people.

I don't know for you but I believe this is completely unsustainable in the long term and this will become an even bigger problem in the future and I wonder why there is so little done to tackle the problem now, and what are those politicians hope, that this will magically disappear tomorrow and all will be roses?

Why aren't universally some laws against home flipping and people owning more than one residential property? I think the right of having a roof over your head is a basic human right and every person out there deserves to have a decent home and not be forced to live on the street.

0 degrees Celsius, the water is freezing, 100 degrees Celsius, the water is boiling. Celsius has a direct link to Kelvin, and Kelvin is the SI unit for measurement temperatures.

You know if this was Russia, the West would have reacted a lot faster, but since it is good old Israel, they simply ignored their blatant human rights violations. And this bothers me a lot. Why does the West have double standards when it comes to condemnation of obvious war crimes?

And it is really crushing to realise that everything is politics, even human suffering. Everything is first evaluated if it can be exploited for their own gain.

The US applauded when the ICC prescribed Putin as a war criminal but at the same time thought of applying sanctions on the ICC prosecutors who were planning to prescribe Netanyahu and Gallant as war criminals. The same US which by the way refuses to be a signatory of the ICC, because they don't want their own military to be persecuted for human rights violations. And that's sickening. Like didn't we learn anything from history? Why repeating the same mistakes over and over again?

The metric system, f*ck the imperial system. Every scientist sticks to the metric system, and why are people even still having an imperial system, with outdated measurements like stones for weight blows my mind.

Also f*ck Fahrenheit, we have Celsius and Kalvin for that, we don't need another hard to convert temperature measurement.

Try in what way?

So pretty much everything. That's the beauty and the plight of Linux, because there are so many variations of pretty much everything.

Like Israel already bombed almost all schools and universities in Gaza.

You can more easily rule over the uneducated, and I guess that's the entire point.

And Hamas is the logical response of decades of Israeli policies. Have you asked yourself why in prosperous countries terrorism is non existent?

Do you think that Israel didn't create more terrorists than they killed? They completely destroyed Gaza, have a proven track record of killing journalists, humanitarian workers, medical personnel, kids and well documented war crimes and torturing their prisoners of war.

Not to mention that since the 7th of October there was an increased settler violence and pogroms all across West bank and their government approved the biggest land grab from the West bank.

Do you truly believe that the 7th of October attack really justifies all of the above? And all of this is coming from a "so called" democracy. Seriously
