Maybe you have some sort of auto-completion plugin that attempts to parse --help output? And that particular binary doesn't understand --help probably.

Maybe try running pstree to see who spawns that process?

They trade with all of them, so it's not like they have to choose.

Germany sells a ton of weapons to Israel, and they also buy weapons and surveillance tech from Israel. German foreign policy is basically copy-pasted from Washington, and they are all-in on the US empire (which the German capitalists benefit(ted) from massively, at least up to recently), so every reason the US has to support Israel also applies to Germany.

It also allows them to transfer their guilt/responsibility to Muslims, which are convenient punching bags for politicians to use in order to gather votes from the Islamophobic German public. And it makes (made?) them look good: they can pretend to have learned from the Nazi past, and pretend not be antisemites by getting approval from (Zionist) Jews, which, in the past, actually improved their image domestically and internationally (in the all-important West at least). And, like I said before, it gives them an air of moral superiority and righteousness to pretend they're totally reformed, no longer Nazis, seen the error of their ways (swear to god!). And they can lord that over their enemies, and use it to convince the public to support military aggression in the name of defeating another Hitler, or preventing another Holocaust (which is Germany's special responsibility, you see!).

With what Israel is doing right now, and social media showing the utter horror, it no longer looks very good internationally, but domestically, pro-Israel sentiment among the German public (and even more so institutionally and and in the press) is still incredibly high, so saying the most unhinged pro-Israel shit is actually genuinely popular. And with the repression of pro-Palestinian voices that's not going to change anytime soon either. People are genuinely afraid to speak up, lest they get fired, smeared, blacklisted, or arrested. German language media is like US media from 30 years ago in terms of uncritical pro-Israel views.

When the old Nazis of the Adenauer govt started supporting Israel (and the genocide convention), they did that not out of genuine guilt, but because the US said so, and so they could use it as in their anti-communist propaganda ("See we are morally superior and you're doing all these terrible things

<insert atrocity propaganda here>

Perhaps later generations actually started to feel ashamed for their opas, but they too used this as justification. "Oh we're sooo repentant, that makes us so much better than all you unrepentant sinners and btw it means we definitely need to bomb Belgrade."

And now they're using it to pummel Palestinians (and also all Muslims, both in Germany and elsewhere), because those have not accepted they're also filthy sinners/antisemites, and the Germans can put all their opas' sins on that scapegoat and be cleansed. And who better to put this on and punish, than the people they already hate, and whose resources they want to steal.

tl;dr It was originally fake abuser logic, and now se Germans have it internalized, because it makes them feel superior and can be used as a weapon.

They don't need get rid of their guilt, they can just stop abusing it for their selfish desires.

He spoke at the conference via video chat, which the police used as justification to basically immediately shut down the whole conference, because apparently he's also virtually banned from Germany.

GUI toolkits like Qt and Gtk. I can't tell you how to do it better, but something is definitely wrong with the standard class hierarchy framework model these things adhere to. Someday someone will figure out a better way to write GUIs (or maybe that already exists and I'm unaware) and that new approach will take over eventually, and all the GUI toolkits will have to be scrapped or rewritten completely.

A measuring jug (from oxo) that allows you to see the marks when looking at it from above.

Also I have two timers, and I need and use both.

Oh those dang culture warriors, amiright. shakes fist

Unlike say you, who would never post an article about how NPR isn't right-wing enough (lol) on a Linux forum.

I’ve been in the discord and on github for a while

Oh a real life member of the hyprland community, let's see if the rumors are true.

has a bit of a “personality”, as many good developers have. Nothing wrong with that.

Well, that's some first-grade bigot apologia. I guess that discord really is bigot central.

Let’s hope this thing blows over quickly.

Is it because your little clubhouse is drawing too much negative attention?

Well I've got news for you, that's just some bullshit theory bigots come up with to justify their shitty attitude.

You think being a bigot is a skill issue do you? Like everyone deep down is just a bigot (self-inferred I assume?), and some people just have the social skills to hide that better? Have you tried not being a bigot instead of just hiding it?

Hefets is not a guy and this is not a quote from her (or at least, it doesn't seem like a quote). Or do you mean the author of the article? I can't imagine that, because there's not reason to think he was arrested, so why you bring up that "that guy should not be arrested but straight up jailed or deported" (wtf)?

And why would the sit-in being illegal matter over whether this is police brutality or not? In the video I see the police grabbing a woman's face for no apparent reason (and also the face of the guy in the background) and then wrestling her to the ground and I don't see why the police would need to do that just to get her out of there.

So you want to jail and deport people for the terrible crime of looking at that and having the perfectly reasonable interpretation that this is excessive use of force and police brutality and saying that??? Fucking hell.

All the big (and probably small) schisms happened primarily for political reasons (i.e. material interests, power struggles). It's just that lots of other issues (including small differences) tend to align themselves along the same lines, because I guess that helps with the polarization. Doesn't mean this "narcissism of small differences" doesn't exist, just that it's not the cause, but rather part of the dynamic.

And if your business deals with organizations that are considered extremist, banks don’t want you as a customer.

Spot the problem? You referred to the customer, in this case a Verein, as a business. You did that twice, and I twice corrected you that it is not a business. Now you're lecturing me on the fact that banks are businesses. Why?

Again, be angry at whoever made BDS antisemitic, not the bank.

I'm not conceding the point that this is "not unusual" and no political pressure was put on the bank (which you said something like you're 100% sure about, which you could not possibly know), but for the sake of argument, let's say for a moment that it is:

It still makes no sense for you to call them "professional victims" for complaining about it. Like just because this is (possibly) legal for the bank to do, and they did so because of routine compliance shit and not because of pressure, does not mean it is not a political persecution. Even this scenario, they are actual real victims of political persecution, are they not?

Also don't fucking tone police me.

And "professional victims" is not an insult? You fucking started with the insults. And again, it's not a business. And yes, obviously I think racists should be persecuted, and anti-racists should not. That does not make me a hypocrite. Seriously your argument is that I should not complain about political persecution (or whatever you want to call it) by a bank because banks just routinely do that?

Wait and your point is that a state-owned bank persecuting an org for its political position is totally normal there's nothing to see here? 100% sure there's no political pressure are you? You called them "professional victims" you fuck.

I don't think so. And it's not a business.

Our previous account with the Bank for Social Economy was closed in 2019 because of our support for BDS. This happened after agitation by Israeli journalist Benjamin Weinthal and pressure from the Central Council of Jews in Germany.

Have you by any chance configured the wifi channels on your router/AP by hand? I had a problem a long time ago, where some device would assume it's in the US, while the AP was set to another country code and you could choose wifi channels that in the US are verboten.

This is an Israeli surveillance drone looking at an attack. I've been looking at Ukraine war footage, and that's the viewing angle of most videos out of that conflict. They have eyes on the target and then call in a strike, and observe the strike so they know what the result is. Only sometimes do you see things from the POV of the attack drone, and even then that's usually just a second angle.

And it's not a mine. You can see some projectile coming in in 1 or 2 frames before the explosions.

Apparently the Al Jazeera voiceover says it's Israeli drone footage. Which makes sense, this is exactly how surveillance footage observing an attack looks like (just look at videos released by Russian and Ukrainian forces blasting each other).

Maybe people shared that around internally in one of the Israeli snuff channels and it got into the hands of the right person.
