I started calling this a New Holocaust ever since it became obvious that Israel was trying to starve Palestinians to death.

So what you're saying is that there are more wankers on Linux nowadays!???

Personally when I lived in The Netherlands I was quite partial towards lots of mayo on my patates (chunky chips, only far more than merely just larger) rather than pindakaas saus, but patates are a hole different class than English-style chips (which is the same style as in most of Europe) which do gain from drizzling them with vinegar to offset the absorbed fat.

Of course you would think that.

I used to think that too.

We've been exposed all our lives to constant mentions about, concern about, documentaries and even oscar winning films about what was done to the Jewish People 80 years ago by the Nazis.

(Only a person devoid of empathy such as a sociopath or psychopath can see a proper exhibition about the Holocaust and not come out of it both feeling like crying and feeling like punching the face of any Nazi, Neonazi or Supremacist they cross paths with)

Further, there is a whole nation state which is a genocidal colonialist project from its start (remember the Nakba), whose politics have been dominated by Jewish Supremacist parties for decades and which claims to represent the Jewish People, which spends over a billion dollars every year in Propaganda efforts, and the good old "they're attacking our race" has always been a favorite tune of supremacists (just look at the claims right now in the US from the MAGAs that Whites are discriminated against in South Africa for an example from another bunch of supremacists), so of course a lot of time and money has been pumped into alarmism around anti-semitism because that can then be used to shield the Jewish Supremacists from the consequences for their actions, as has been painfully obviously done for their Genocide in Gaza.

The idea that "anti-semitism is the greatest nastiest form of racial discrimination there is" has been hammered into us relentlessly since we were born, including through emotionally powerful mechanisms such as Film so of course our natural relation to it is unthinking and emotional, and the whole subject is treated like a sacred cow.

And then you look at the treatment of Islamophobia right now and, even more extremely, of Romaphobia not just now but even during the Nazi times and since, and you spot the massive contrast between the level of alarm around anti-semitism and the harm caused by it in the present day (NOT almost a century ago, right now) and that related to Islamophobia and maybe even more so Romaphobia: clearly there is massive Racial Discrimination (and hence, Racism) in the very fight against Racial Discrimination.

(Somebody else posting under my post to this forum has shown that the Roma People were for the Nazis in the same category as the Jewish People in the Holocaust and yet, were are the constant mentions about, concern about, documentaries and oscar winning films about the treatment of the Roma People by the Nazis? It's an obvious double standard, and worse, an obvious double standard about people murdered by the Nazis in the fucking Holocaust - an ongoing Holocaust Denialism for some of the victimized ethnicities).

I mean, thank you Zionists for, with their Genocide and abuse of accusations of anti-semitism to defend said Genocide, making me drop the whole sacred cow perspective on it and really think hard about and analyze the subject of anti-semitism and the fight against it in the modern era and thus figure out that there is a very clear, very massive amount of Racial Discrimination on how different kinds of Racism are judged, the attention given to them and the amount of effort that goes into fighting them, and that disproportionately benefits the Jewish People compared to other minorities which are right now also discriminated against far more and far more harmfully, the most extreme being Muslims and the Roma People.

And yeah, Zionism is Nazism with a different kind of ubermenschen - they're both extreme ultra-violent supremacist ethno-Fascist political ideologies casually mass murdering children if they're in the "wrong" ethnicity (called "untermenschen" by the Nazis, "human animals" by the Zionists, with both describing their victims as "vermin") and those always claim that the ethnicity they say they represent is superior to others (specifically, Nazis said of the Arian Race that they were "ubermenschen" whilst Zionists call the Jewish People "God's chose people").

Pointing out that the most rabidly racists and murderous supremacists since the Nazis relate to the race they claim to represent exactly like the Nazis did towards theirs, is only an attack on the race they claim to represent if one believes they actually represent them (something which is only possible to believe using the twisted, racist idea that "all Jews are the same and hence can be represented by a nation") AND is running around with a Racial Preference towards the Jewish ethnicity and thus thinks the supremacists claiming to represent the Jewish People should not be judged by the same metric as the supremacists claiming to represent other ethnicities (and such thinking is the dictionary definition of Racial Descrimination).

I'm current stuck in a long term cycle of mainly Project Zomboid, Factorio, Valheim, Oxygen Not Included, The Lone Dark and Rimworld, were when I'm fed up of playing the last of them, it's been long enough since I played the first one that it's once interesting to play it.

Even when I manage to be fed up with playing all of them at any one point, I still have other progression games with complex emergent gameplay (often but not always games which have algorithmically generated game areas) like Kenshi. 7 Days to Die or OpenTTD that pull me in and if that fails, I can always pick up one of the old open world roleplay jewels such as Skyrim and play that.

I've barelly tried anything else in the last couple of years and of those only Oxygen Not Include was the only one with any lasting power and I picked that one years ago.

It's not even because I can't afford it (though out of principl I refuse to pay more than €20 for a game) - whenever I try an AAA game nowadays (always games that came out years ago) it's almost invariably an inferior experience that either feels too constrained or doesn't have enough gameplay variety and complexity to be fun for long.

They're like an origami figure folded wrongly that causes any properly folded origami figures to become misfolded when it comes in contact with them.

Oh, from my own experience with upper class Englishmen (granted, only a handful) when living in Britain, Sunak isn't really a "proper" upper class person in their eyes, especially for those who are Old Wealth as he's both not White and his wealth doesn't go back enough generations - it's pretty hard to get accepted into the English upper class circles even if you did attend one of the posher Public Schools and even when inside there are different "classes" of people.

Very wealthy people really are a petty as the rest, and though most are pragmatic in their choice of actions when their economic interests are at stake, they'll definitelly follow their own petty impulses when such interest are not really at stake.

I mean, the various very public actions from Elon Musk, from his "pedophile" accusation to the rescuer that refused his wild-ass submarine scheme to rescue the boys in Thailand to his Nazi Salute, show him as a prime example of how the very wealthy can act driven by internal impulses even in ways that go against their best interests.

You see, almost all of the very Wealthy are were they are due to "popping out of the right vagina", not due to superior behaviour, and this is pretty much "100% of them" when it comes to Old Wealth, so don't presume they'll act driven by rationality alone - if the stakes for their own interests aren't high enough they'll follow things like their supremacist beliefs just like the "riff-raff", and really the main difference from the English wealthy when they do this to for example the American wealthy, is that they'll coach the whole thing in some posh "rationale" rather than be open about their Racial Preferences or the appeal of Supremacism for them (it makes sense that somebody who was born to Wealth will be attracted to the idea that some people are born inherently superior to others and hence are more successful, as that implies that their inherent superiority is the reason for their wealth)

Or you can use qbittorrent-nox which is a server-only package of qbittorrent and just interact with it via its the web interface from your favorite browser.

Mind you, I only know this by chance because I explicitly wanted to run qbittorrent as a service on an always on machine which is not supposed to be used with keyboard and mouse.

Well, just think "How would I do this cheaply and get away with it" for a good enough "Engineering" approach for this case.

The really expert "Engineering" stuff related to things like maintenability, reliability, robustness and so on (which I myself am not qualified to talk about, as even though I have an EE degree, that's not actually the domain of Engineering I ended up working in so I haven't accumulated the professional experience that teaches one to take such higher level considerations into one's designs), isn't, IMHO, really necessary to understand to explain why those designing circuits commercially would chose the commonly available and cheaper components if they can.

I think the profound contrast between the reaction from the British "Authorities" to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and to the Israeli Genocide in Gaza, disproves the idea that it's all about money, especially given that there was a lot more money being made from Russia than can be made from Israel.

I mean, a musician is right now being investigated by the British Police for shouting his desire for death to the invader, genocidal army that's purposefully mass murdering children - that of Israel - whilst nobody in Britain was ever investigated by police for wanting the death of members of the invading Russian army in Ukraine, even though the latter is barelly targetting civilians and never explicitly children (unlike the former).

Racism, extreme and profound Racism even, is the most reasonable explanation for such a massive disconnect in their reaction to those two different aggressors in proportion to the crimes they're committing, more so given that a money reason would yield an unbalanced reaction in the very opposite direction.

Exactly.

The problem is those countries were the 19th century colonialist mindset isn "something we fortunately left behind" but instead is alive and well.

They'll formally apologize, as talk is cheap, and then do nothing further.

And no, I'm not at all kidding or exaggerating: this is THE most common strategy in British Political and Social Elite circles for getting rid of such "problems" when denying it doesn't work.

Deny it, deny it was a problem, deny it was systemic, apologize and claim it was too long ago and it's pointless to do anything about it now, is a well travelled multi-step strategy in British politics (THE main strategy, even) to avoid actual consequences for their actions or lack of action.
