What’s the point though? With more and more trash content on the internet what would the bandwidth be used for? To force-feed people more ads?

That was a really good read. Went through it in a single go. Thank you for sharing!

Vintage? That stuff is so new it was already crap gaming compared to PC :p

Fucking fascist bitch in charge…

Its a tool. It should be designed to be useful as possible to anyone who needs such a tool.

Twenty years ago I might have agreed. Now, in hindsight, I can say that giving everyone access to computers & thereby the internet has brought out the worst in humanity, including mass-manipulation and authoritarian regimes thanks to people making even worse calls in elections than they used to.

My main point is: If the desktop environment “expert” toggle is set once, gimmicks like this one here would be disabled by default. On a default installation, with the “expert” toggle to “off”, those same gimmicks might be enabled by default.

The kind if person who would benefit from that shouldn’t be using a computer. But then again, most smartphone users shouldn’t be using a phone. How about choosing different default settings in an installation based on a central “expert” vs “newbie” setting?

This kind of bullshit shouldn’t ever be on by default. KDawful reminds me again why I ditched it for XFCE.

your reading comprehension is below elementary school levels.

Previous poster was not questioning it but quoting the UN as the authority. https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-Nations-Resolution-242

Not what I said.

and this is now where you are bordering hard if not delving into antisemitism :/ I have no desire to speak with you any further.

I think you are mixing the early stages of the state of Israel - certainly involving displacement and violence against Palestinian natives - with the recurring outbursts of Apartheid and crimes against humanity. There were calm phases in Israel, and many people moved there without genocidal actions ever being part of the public perception.

“So far” has a different meaning and is incorrect here. “insofar” is the correct word, meaning “to the extent”

So what? You’re gonna lump them in with the rest just because they were born there?

Judging by the mixed reactions my comment got, sadly half the people either don’t get it or they are anti-semites :(

Brainwash is real. However, I am disappointed that you completely ignored the “insofar” limitation to my statement.

Let me refine: “Fuck the Israeli government!” I have no beef with the country / people insofar as they hate their genocidal government.

Flashback to…

Did you know that it’s illegal to say “I want to kill the president of the United States of America”?

As a German, this seems like a cruel joke to me - “Because of our Nazi history, we are committed to protecting against an ICC warrant the person currently performing a genocide, establishing camps to “concentrate” refugees and then even bombing said camps”.

Fuck our government. This is about a war criminal and in my opinion it’s absolutely furthering antisemitism to allow the Israeli government to continue these atrocities. The best way to reduce antisemitism is to have the Israeli government commit less atrocities.
