Debian is still the best at being Debian. I rate it the least likely to give me any unpleasant surprises.

Yeah making jam is quite easy. Basically just add some sugar and pectin and put it on the stove until it's jam.

Otherwise, put them in the freezer.

It's nice to have ntsync, I've been using it for a few weeks. Knowing that the thread sync api is solid means one less thing to worry about when debugging modded skyrim.

I assume they do sometimes have feelings but it's pretty hard to imagine how people who'd agree to work for Palantir would feel about literally anything other than being highly paid which they presumably enjoy.

If there's a sign saying "do not feed the alligators" you can guess that it's probably because they had a problem with too many people feeding the alligators. There's no reason to ask if that means it's okay to feed the crocodiles.

For a serious answer I suppose you'd need to read several books about the history of Israel and its relationship with Europe, the semiotic position of the term Zionism in contemporary political discourse, and methodologies for dealing with problematic topics in online communities.

But in short I'd say that the more evil is done in the name of Zionism, the more the name itself becomes perceived as synonymous with it, and there's a lot of that going on these days.

You are the one who started off the stupid argument in a pointlessly combative way, based on trite caricatures of complex and controversial topics, then used your mod powers to delete the responses of the guy you picked a fight with for no better reason than that they said something "unhelpful." It's not what I would call ideal behaviour for a community moderator.

People in 2032: "Weren't we supposed to give up fossil fuels? I can't believe we're still using cleangreen comfygas."

Singh wants price controls on food. Mamdani wants publicly-owned grocery stores. They are not the same.

Oh right, this one which the previous government had the decency to abandon after everyone pointed out the problems: https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=d64e0f63-70d4-46ac-b9e4-709547d6c438

The bill allows the federal government to "secretly order telecom providers" to "do anything or refrain from doing anything… necessary to secure the Canadian telecommunications system"
