How does this prevent the Russians from accessing sensitive technology? Oh it doesn't! It just excludes them from contributing to Linux, not from using it.

Accusing others from "arguing in bad faith" are we?

Das sehe ich anders, wenn man Himmel und Hölle in Bewegung setzt, damit Hilfsgüter in Gaza gelangen. Wenn man Luft- und Seebrücken einrichten will. Die Priorität liegt für mich im Schutz der Zivilbevölkerung und der Beendigung des Konflikts.

Die Luftbrücke ist ein Tropfen auf einem heißen Stein, eine PR-Aktion (der Amis). Die Anlegestelle wird wann fertig? Und Israel soll die Güter auch kontrollieren dürfen, die darüber gehen (auf Zypern oder so) bzw. kontrollieren das Teil in Gaza eh de-facto. Also können die das blockieren genauso wie die anderen Übergänge. Wenn Israel wollte, könnten die jetzt schon Hilfsgüter reinlassen. Wieso sollte das dort anders sein? Das bringt gar nichts außer als weitere PR-Aktion (der Amis) oder Zeitschinderei.

Und Deutschland hat die Zahlungen an die UNRWA eingestellt. Das ist das Gegenteil von "Himmel und Hölle in Bewegung" setzen, das ist direkte Unterstützung, durch die BuReg, am Aushungern der Bevölkerung in Gaza.

In der Bundesregierung ist die Sorge groß, dass sich Israel mit seiner Kriegsführung in Gaza ins internationale Aus schießt, dass es zum Paria wird.

Baerbock macht im Nahen Osten klar, dass ihre Loyalität Israel gilt – aber eben nicht nur. Deutschland trage auch Verantwortung für das internationale Recht, betont sie vor ihrem Abflug.

Das heißt, zuerst mal geht es immer noch darum, Israel zu helfen. Verhungernde Palästinenser sind zweitrangig. Und das nach fast einem halben Jahr uneingeschränkter Unterstützung für Israel, während die Völkermord begehen. Die Prioritäten sind doch das Gegenteil von dem, was sie sein sollten.

Doch die deutsche Außenministerin hat nicht viel in der Hand, um auf Israels Führung einzuwirken. Benjamin Netanyahu lässt sich ja nicht einmal mehr von der US-Regierung beeindrucken.

Ob das eine Einladung an die Netanyahu-Regierung ist, sich als Opfer darzustellen, ist wurst, die werden nur aufhören, wenn sie materiell dazu gezwungen sind. Da könnte die BuReg z.B. ein Verbot für Waffenlieferungen machen, wie das Canada jetzt gemacht hat. Klar, wichtig wäre, dass das die USA machen, sonst bringt das nicht so viel, aber die BuReg könnte ja mal mit gutem Beispiel vorangehen, anstatt immer erst zu handeln, wenn die Amerikaner es vormachen.

This is incorrect, that firmware is not included in the installer (for legal reasons, probably). firmware-b43-installer is just a script. It downloads some driver from a website and extracts the firmware blobs from that driver using another utility called b43-fwcutter. The package description for that reads:

Description: utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware

This package provides a tool for extracting BCM43xx wireless chip firmware from Broadcom's proprietary driver files.

It is used by the firmware-b43(legacy)-installer packages as part of the automated process of downloading and installing firmware.

The problem here is that there was no intent to cause a famine at all, and neither was a specific group (like Ukrainians) specifically targeted for starvation once it was there. This isn't some fringe opinion, this is the opinion of mainstream Western historians like Davies and Wheatcroft that actually research this stuff.

Putting the Holodomor (not a genocide) on the same level as the Holocaust (textbook genocide) is therefore relativizing the Holocaust. This was and is used to whitewash Nazis (and collaborators) and their crimes as basically a form of "self-defense" or liberation. This was already actual Nazi propaganda used by the Nazis, and is now state-sponsored propaganda used in e.g. the Baltic states to rehabilitate actual Holocaust perpetrators.

In May 2012, the foreign minister of Lithuania (left) honored Prof. Snyder in the week during which his government was reburying with full honors the 1941 Nazi puppet prime minister. The foreign minister is known for his antisemitic outbursts, his Hitler-Stalin “moustache comparison” and his defense of the Nazi’s reburial on the floor the nation’s parliament. The event has been seen as part of a wider pattern of high officials honoring western dignitaries who seem to be supporting — or can be presented as favoring — one or more components of Baltic revisionist history.

Timothy Snyder is the "double genocide" historian and author.

In July 2012, the Lithuanian foreign minister explained how Professor Snyder’s Bloodlands will be utilized during Lithuania’s (rotating) EU presidency in 2013, as part of a wider “Double Genocide offensive” in the EU. The use of Bloodlands for the nationalist narrative had earlier been proposed or explained by professors Saulius Sužiedėlis and Egidijus Aleksandravičius. Earlier (ab)use of ‘Bloodlands’ included a September 2011 book event held at the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry where passages were misquoted to defame Jewish partisan veterans.

The US plans for a lot of situations, as does any competent military. Are you trying to say that the US intended to make these strikes all along, rather than in retaliation for strikes against them?

Yes, obviously.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_Yemen

The blockade has contributed to the current famine in Yemen, which the United Nations said may become the deadliest famine in decades. The World Health Organization announced in 2017, that the number of suspected persons with cholera in Yemen reached approximately 500,000 people. In 2018, Save the Children estimated that 85,000 children have died due to starvation in the three years prior.

The U.S. has supported the Arab coalition's intervention in the war, and the United States Navy actively participated in the naval blockade at the beginning of the intervention. In mid-2015, Washington increased its logistical and intelligence support to Saudi Arabia by creating a joint coordination planning cell with the Saudi military to help manage the war.

Hmm. I wonder why they'd fire on a hostile fleet that sailed halfway around the world and that had basically already declared war on them. Particularly when said fleet previously implemented a blockade that caused a famine, which killed hundreds of thousands, mostly children.

This is a fact. They pretend Germany is "importing antisemitism", as if that needs importing. And somehow, someone that comes here, fleeing a genocide committed by Zionists, is clearly the real antisemite when they complain about it, because apparently no one could object to this treatment unless they hate Jews for no reason.

The netinstall is the recommended installer, why do people want the big iso? It's not going to save you any time. You'll be downloading less overall if you use the net installer.

There was plenty of evidence that this was the likely outcome of this offensive months before it even started. Why tf did they go ahead with it anyway?

I remember discussing the Russian advantage on reddit back in January, including them building defensive lines and the general imbalance in equipment, especially artillery and ammo, as well as the fact that Russia had caught up in troop numbers by that point. I had western sources for these numbers.

You wouldn't believe the level of hate and name-calling I received for pointing this out and saying they should negotiate. But apparently I was the one spewing propaganda.

This question is a setup for assholes to spread their vile shit.

AP news article

Cites as source Adrian Zenz, an evangelical Christian on a mission from god to fight the godless communists, who writes non-peer-reviewed articles and is funded by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, which itself is funded by the US government, and which officially counts Nazi soldiers killed on the eastern front during WW2 as victims of communism.

Adrian Zenz co-authored a book on biblical numerology, trying to find hidden codes in the bible to decipher when the apocalypse is going to occur: Worthy to Escape: Why All Believers Will Not Be Raptured Before the Tribulation

He's a total clown and his "data analysis" on birth control in Xinjiang has been debunked for being blatant misinterpretation of statistics.

More insane shit about Zenz is collected here: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Adrian_Zenz

They also interview a woman who will be fined for having a third child, which was the law for every woman in China at the time.

That shitty article even backs my point:

For decades, China had one of the most extensive systems of minority entitlements in the world, with Uighurs and others getting more points on college entrance exams, hiring quotas for government posts and laxer birth control restrictions. Under China’s now-abandoned ‘one child’ policy, the authorities had long encouraged, often forced, contraceptives, sterilization and abortion on Han Chinese. But minorities were allowed two children — three if they came from the countryside.

Choice quote to underline the bias of this article:

State-backed scholars have warned for years that large rural religious families were at the root of bombings, knifings and other attacks the Xinjiang government blamed on Islamic terrorists.

Are they insinuating that these were not carried out by Islamist terrorists? Who did that then and why?

BBC article

Again based on a report by Adrian Zenz, see above. First sentence:

The report, by China scholar Adrian Zenz, has prompted international calls for the United Nations to investigate.

Aljazeera article

Is literally just reporting on the AP news article above. They have a link to it and everything.
