Sorry, I realize I misunderstood now. Non native speaker here 😅

So based on your comment, Arab and north African nations didn't refuse participating because it's gay. It's because the organization harborsca genocidal entity (Israel).

they would be ok with a song like this?

Yeah I don't see the issue and I'm an Arab myself. There's homophobia in our land, but I'm not sure why you people act like we're the only exceptionally homophobic place on earth. I sense its a projection of how your nations handled homophobia at its peak. Arab nations are unlikely to have a song like this of their own, but they won't boycott the competition for it.

most of them would still abstain from Eurovision because of the lgbtq.

Wrong and you have nothing to prove this :)

In many of these countries, women arent even allowed to wear a miniskirt

Wrong. There's probably like one or two countries that do this (depending on how far east you are including). Saudi Arabia is the notable one (the state created by Britain), and Iran if you go that far east.

Turkey

Hungary

Not Arab or north African.

I did specifically talk about invading another member state

Yes, I noticed from the very beginning. That is exactly the hypocrisy I was addressing. :) humanity and ethics must not stop at member states. I actually did not know Libya was a member either until you mentioned it (and googled the date).

Ahh, sorry I forgot the part that humanity and ethics end at member states. I totally wouldn't expect a Euro fan to make that assertion :)

joined only after fall of Gaddafi

Wrong. 1974.

Most dont participate because Eurovision is gay as fuck and these countries dont like that.

Source?

I understand that, but still, the decision is a net negative. They are merely acting based on short-sighted insights.

Did they kick out Britain and friends for invading Iraq?

What about France and friends when they invaded libya?

Invasions are only bad when they don't conform to the Western imperialist agenda :)

Yeah it's basically more like "white-o-vision" or "Colonizers and allies"

The efficiency of capitalism. Spend god-knows-how-many millions of dollars and time, then realize you'd rather spend 125 million all over again just to go back and spend even more millions to hire back the dame numbers again in 1-3 years.

It's futile. You are no match against a multi national corporation.

Where is the calling for genocide in the comment you responded to? Vaporizing a genocide machine is genocide now?

What's that got to do with this? Whataboutism

You replied to a comment asking "source?" with an entire paragraph containing zero sources.

The trial is not due to the accusations you make, and for the record, there's no law against being biased or not impartial.

Requiring a candidate to know a specific programming language is stupid. Nearly all of the commonly used languages in industry are similar.

It's maybe more valuable to require knowledge in a specific framework, where knowledge is less transferrable between popular frameworks. Nonetheless, I personally rather hire an engineer that solves problems and learns flexibly rather than one that happens to know the right tech.

Some programmers are software engineers. They solve problems, sometimes problems with great ambiguity or non-straightforward solutions.

And some programmers are... code technicians? They understand and write code, but their job seldom involves problem solving. Often times, they're asked to code an already solved problem, or mostly solved.

This is not a diss. I was in the second camp for a while. But it hurts your career to stay in that. So be careful.

I think it is Hyprland that is the outlier in being animated by default, rather than sway being especially barebones. Compared to popular WMs on X11, sway is not minimal. Compare to dwm and bspwm for example, both of which are pretty popular yet more minimal than sway.

Unfortunately it doesn't mean that. Game corporations have too much power and influence over the market.

Higher ups doing this is nothing new though. This was mostly a reaction to interest rates.

The layoff wave started way before the AI hype. It is more tied to interest rates imo.
