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.

"Ob Links- oder Rechtsterrorismus - da sehe ich keinen Unterschied." "Doch, doch", ruft das Känguru, "die einen zünden Ausländer an, die anderen Autos. Und Autos sind schlimmer, denn es hätte meines sein können. Ausländer besitze ich keine."

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.

I haven't tried it myself but the StarLite is a surface style convertible designed to run Linux, even shipping with the distribution of your choice right out of the box. And apparently it supports MPP pens. It's not in the official specs but StarLabs is selling an active pen that's "exclusively designed for the StarLite Mk V"

That's a common misconception. German law actually allows the public display of swastikas in certain, so called socially adequate (that's an actual legal term), situations. Satire is one of those. If anyone can see that you are making fun of Nazis it's allowed. Another of those adequate uses is in art. The use in video games used to be prohibited for reasons that are to complicated to explain in this comment (involving an actual Nazi and a pirated copy of the game Wolfenstein 3D) but now they are counted as art as well so it's fine there as well.

Die Kanzlerpartei SPD will sich weitgehend von der Plattform X zurückziehen, der sie eine wachsende Verbreitung von Desinformationen vorwirft. »Nach der Übernahme des Kurznachrichtendienstes X durch Elon Musk hat sich die Plattform X massiv zum Negativen verändert«, sagte eine Sprecherin mit Blick auf den US-Milliardär. Als Begründung nannte sie, dass sich auch andere Nutzer abgemeldet hätten.

It's not just a YouTube downloader, it also allows you to download videos from, as the official website says, "a few more sites". Those include social media sites such as twitch or twitter but also the online platforms of TV networks. If you live in the US, you can for example download full episodes from the big broadcasting networks (ABC, NBC, CBS) and PBS. If you're British you can download stuff from the BBC. Germans find their public broadcasters supported as well. Likewise for a bunch of other European countries and Australia.

And with a good VPN you have access to all of the above.

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.
