Tons. This on is from Oct 30 in The Nation:

The German state’s show of support has led to an outright banning of most pro-Palestine protests. [...]

The reasons for the bans seemed unambiguous: German police said that there was an “imminent danger” that the assemblies will result in “inciting, anti-Semitic slogans,” as well as “glorification of violence.”

Preemptively. Because antisemitism and "glorification of violence" might occur. And by antisemitism they mean things like this:

On October 13, Berlin police declared uttering the slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” forbidden and indictable. That same day, Berlin’s education senator, Katharina Günther-Wünsch, sent a letter to all Berlin school principals offering them the option to ban students from wearing “pro-Palestinian symbols such as the keffiyeh.” “Any act or expression of opinion that can be understood as advocacy or approval of the attacks against Israel,” she wrote, “constitutes a threat to school peace and is prohibited.”

Wieso der ist doch liberal? Das ist eine Art von Liberalismus. Liberalismus ist kein nettes Gefühl, das ist die Ideologie des Kapitalismus.

Privateigentum, Markt, Wettbewerb, persönliche Freiheit (wenn man sich es leisten kann) und damit auch die Freiheit andere Auszubeuten und die Not anderer Auszunutzen war von Anfang an Teil (ich würde sagen: Kern) der liberalen Ideologie. Für all das steht der Milei. Wieso willst du dem absprechen, aus welcher Tradition der offensichtlich kommt?

Die Hayek-Gesellschaft hat dem gerade einen Preis gegeben, viel liberaler wird's nicht. Steht ja sogar in Link:

Mit dem Friedrich-August-von-Hayek-Preis ehrt die Gesellschaft herausragende Beiträge zur Förderung der Prinzipien des Liberalismus und der freien Marktwirtschaft. Der Preis genießt in akademischen und liberalen Kreisen hohes Ansehen und gilt als bedeutende Auszeichnung auf dem Gebiet der Wirtschaftswissenschaften und der Sozialphilosophie.

Not all Thinkpads work equally well. For the best experience, get an all-Intel one, from one of the more expensive business lines, like the T-series. Consumer models are definitely worse, because employees of big Linux-using tech firms are getting the pro models.

A lot of distros, I think, are started more due to political/social/psychological reasons, and not fundamental technical reasons, and that's why a lot of them are so similar. Those reasons can be good and legit, but sometimes they are probably wrongheaded (but understandable), like an unwillingness to engage with upstream because that's tedious and frustrating, whereas the technical work of creating another distro with oneself in charge may be more fun.

Also, of course, once a distro is big enough, with a sizable community of developers and users, there's a strong incentive to keep it going, even if it's very similar to another distro. Maybe there used to more of difference in the past, but you're not going to convince a whole community to just shut down and join some other project. And business-run distros will keep going as long as the company is making money there is some business reason to keep doing them.

I'll make an appeal to authority (kernel developer working on memory management):

Disabling swap does not prevent disk I/O from becoming a problem under memory contention, it simply shifts the disk I/O thrashing from anonymous pages to file pages. Not only may this be less efficient, as we have a smaller pool of pages to select from for reclaim, but it may also contribute to getting into this high contention state in the first place.

And then he goes on to say what I said, that it can make the OOM killer quicker to react.

And "professional victims" is not an insult? You fucking started with the insults. And again, it's not a business. And yes, obviously I think racists should be persecuted, and anti-racists should not. That does not make me a hypocrite. Seriously your argument is that I should not complain about political persecution (or whatever you want to call it) by a bank because banks just routinely do that?

Fucking Scholz said he wanted to "finally deport in a big way" ("endlich im großen Stil abschieben"). This is (well used to be) a far right agenda. They're sending weapons to Israeli fascists while they commit genocide, and defend them at every opportunity. These people support fascists and fascist policies.

What exactly do you even dispute is untrue about what I said?

Copying this package over USB will not work anyway, even if you get all the dependencies, since firmware-b43-installer is just a script that downloads the firmware (probably because it is illegal for Debian/Ubuntu to redistribute this firmware because of the license).

You need internet. You'll need to use a different network device for this, or use a phone as the other person said.

Or you can copy the firmware files over by hand, from a different Ubuntu/Linux computer. They should be under /usr/lib/firmware/b43.

Supplying weapons goes a lot further than one might think. I remember reading somewhere (please don't make me dig this up), that practically all the ground maintenance staff of the Saudi air force are US personell (maybe private contractors don't remember). Just the pilots are Saudis really. The US supported this war and blockade in various ways all the way through. It should be obvious why Ansarallah thinks the US is their enemy.

UN says Gaza Health Ministry death tolls in previous wars ‘credible’:

The Health Ministry, which utilises data from morgues and hospitals to reach its figures, released a 212-page document on Thursday with names and identity numbers of those killed.

Israel says they dropped 6000 bombs in the first 6 days (that was two weeks ago) on one of the most densely populated areas in the world, on people that are not allowed to leave. They said the "emphasis is on damage, not accuracy".

Here's the latest update from the UN human rights commissioner were they again allege Israel bombing civilian buildings.

Pretty much everything that's coming out of there from civilians themselves, from journalists, the UN and even Israel paints a pretty clear picture of the IDF dropping thousands of bombs on civilians. But I guess you'd rather pretend that there's some uncertainty and doubt about this.

Ah you're right, there were also conscripts in some Waffen-SS units. Looks like this guy volunteered though, as it says in the article:

A blog by an association of its veterans, called “Combatant News” in Ukrainian, includes an autobiographical entry by a Yaroslav Hunka that says he volunteered to join the division in 1943 and several photographs of him during the war. The captions say the pictures show Hunka during SS artillery training in Munich in December 1943 and in Neuhammer (now Świętoszów), Poland, the site of Himmler’s visit.

In posts to the blog dated 2011 and 2010, Hunka describes 1941 to 1943 as the happiest years of his life and compares the veterans of his unit, who were scattered across the world, to Jews.

I guess they couldn't confirm that this is definitely that same Yaroslav Hunka, though that would be some coincidence. Not only did he volunteer, he loved it. And what even is that comparison? That doesn't sound like a person who has learned anything.

Their values and goals didn’t necessarily align with those of the Nazis, other than they had a common enemy.

You call it "not necessarily aligned, other than". I call it very much aligned. The difference in opinion can't be that big or important if they're willing to kill and die under Nazi orders.

Guess who made waffles!!
