Mhm, I think this is more complicated than it looks. The LF today isn’t a direct Linux kernel funding body and more an umbrella for open-source governance (infrastructure, events, certification, security work, to name a few). So the other 97% are not necessarily wasted. Also, many kernel developers are paid outside of the LF by companies like Red Hat, Google, AMD, SUSE, Microsoft. So in reality there is alot more cash flowing towards Linux kernel development. A better/sharper criticism would be that the LF has become an industry consortium for “enterprise open source” or so, rather than a Linux-centered foundation. The counterpoint on the other Hand is that this founded infrastructure is exactly what allows large-scale open-source projects to function in the first place.

I think there are many right answers, and in the end it’s dependent on your personal likings. I am self-hosting using Fedora, and I couldn’t be happier.

Can’t say anything about the browser, but honestly that name is ridiculous. You literally just need to drop a letter and you are left with Spermium.

At least these kids are safe now and noone will experience any trade off from this policy /s

I doubt that anything crypto-related will take on such a role anytime soon. The AI hype largely overshadows the Crypto hype.

As someone who is not at all into programming, this title made me genuinely think I had a stroke.

First of all, I’d say we’re on the same side. Israel is acting like a disgusting piece of shit. Also, many Israelis are abusing the term “antisemitic” to discredit people that they dont like. But I think we still need to differentiate. Therefore let me answer your question:

If the vanalism is against Israeli officials/buildings/state institutions, thats fine! Like ambassies, consulates, (international) representatives, politicians, economic figures, IDF members, etc… They are waging war and genocide, they deserve our anger + protest.

But If it hits religious institutions, private folks, jewish communities, holocaust memorials, etc. with no Israeli state background or links to the IDF, then maybe dont attack them, because otherwise it really is nothing but antisemitism. And that’s the point. If it was really only about the state of Israel, then why do so many “protests” explicitly target Jewish religious institutions (like synagogues, cemeteries, schools) rather than Israeli ones? It is not even rare thing to happen, thats why I wonder why you are asking. Examples:

Moldova, Kasauti. A Holocaust memorial was vandalized with ‘free Palestine’ graffiti.

Ukraine, Uman. A swastika was painted on a Jewish café.

UK, Glasgow. “Free Palestine” and “Fuck the no really Jews” were painted on a wall.

Italy, Milan. A man shouted “murderers” in front of a Jewish nursing home.

Italy, Milan. An elderly Jewish man, wearing a hat with a Star of David, was walking his dog, when a man tore off his hat, trampled it, and called the elderly man “dirty Jew.”

Italy, Milan. An Orthodox Jewish man was insulted on his way to a synagogue by an Italian couple who said to him, “F—king Zionist! You kill children!” On his way home he was shoved by a young man who shouted antisemitic epithets at him.

Germany, Oldenburg. An incendiary device was thrown at the door of the Oldenburg synagogue.

Belgium, Fleron. The home of Belgian Holocaust survivors was vandalized with “Gaza Free” and a swastika.

Munich, Germany. A man stood in front of the main synagogue, shouted antisemitic insults and give Hitler salutes.

Montevideo, Uruguay. A doll depicting a Jewish women with a Star of David and a spear piercing her forehead was displayed during a march for International Women’s Day.

Paris, France. A man wearing a kippah was attacked as he left a synagogue.

Babenhausen, Germany. A Jewish memorial column was smeared with paint.

Geneva, Switzerland. “Exterminate the Jews” and “Death to Zionists” graffiti were found in Geneva after a pro-Palestinian rally.

Countdown-Timer on e.g. Amazon that try to FOMO-pressure me into buying the item. Edit: typo

Additional note: Your framing is somewhat binary, relying on a “if you’re not with me, you’re against me” logic. I understand the emotions that come with this topic, but your logic reduces complex positions to two options despite the existence of intermediate views. Nuanced actors might then be pushed into opposing camps, therefore intensifying conflict.

Edit, for context: Damned be Israel for everything they are doing right now. I am just trying to maintain some discourse quality.

Restricting certain forms of speech can be interpreted in two ways: As suppression of legitimate political critique. Or as boundary-setting to prevent generalizations or escalation.

Whether specific political positions are restricted depends not on how you see them, but on how moderators classify them. “Anti-Zionism” is not a single, defined category. It ranges from policy criticism against Israel, to positions that some moderators may interpret as targeting jews.

Your ID identifies you as Australian, mate. Afaik public hospitals are free / publicly funded in Australia, just as it should be. But that’s unfortunately not true for everyone.

Came here for that answer. Large concentrations of wealth generate structural power that can distort political decisions and markets in a way that serves to perpetuate itself. This creates a virtuous circle in which capital shapes return conditions / regulation / access advantages in such a way as to systematically favour further capital growth.

Yup, you’re right. Sorry to have bothered you.

Are you talking about me?

“Fighting all of NATO” - as a German, I did not know that I was at war with Russia right now. Am I?

I get your anger towards the US. And probably towards the EU. Towards NATO as a whole. Our history is stained with imperialism, and we should all be working against that. Dont falsely assume that I am on the side of the empire.

But this does not necessarily make Russia (or China) some sort of safe haven. Some days ago, I had to argue with US nazis that the US and Russia are the only working democracies left in this world, and Europe is a “autocratic dictatoraship” - which is obviously BS. Our system is FAR from perfect, and we experience propaganda - as does nearly every other state. But Russia, China, and the US are definitly broken systems, and ALL of them are imperialistic. So are you telling me that you are against evil NATO empire, therefore you are rooting for the evil Russian empire?

Yes, it is.

RU is burning its demographic future for marginal territorial gains. It is spending lives and capital faster than it can regenerate them.

Its economy becomes more and more war-dependent, which means peace itself becomes destabilizing.

The brain drain Putins war causes is not a temporary inconvenience, but a strategic wound. They really traded long-term modernization for short-term militarization.

It has pushed Europe into rearmament and made the continent stronger, not weaker. And it is losing access to Western technology faster than it can replace it.

It is becoming China’s junior partner, not an independent great power.

Every year of war raises the cost of any political exit.

They may very well survive the war, but the path they chose consumed the foundations of their own power.

“Rubber” - It’s a (french?) movie about a car wheel that suddenly becomes aware of its own existence. It then starts rolling around, and somehow it has the ability to KILL telepathically. It starts small with squirrles or rats exploding, but at some point even the military needs to intervene.

I like trash :)

So… they want to pick up a fight with every single nation, except for China?

Of course. The US dont have the balls to terrorize someone who is as big as them. Like the ugly school bully who rips smalIer children off their lunch money. I see them as a rogue regime by now.

What was signed in 25. August 1933?

I start to like this guy. He is acting like a leader. Can I please have a copy of him for my German Government, please?
