It's kind of earlier, but a little bit would be casette futurism.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CassetteFuturism

A technological aesthetic reminiscent of mid-1970s to late 1990s tech (regardless of the real-time setting of the media) as codified by early microcomputers like the Altair 8800 and the IBM Personal Computer, late Cold War era technology, the iconic imagery of the mid to late space race, or the post-Cold War "end of history" period in The '90s, which was characterized by a fascination with virtual reality technologies (such as helmets) and 2D computer animation.

Whether it be the bold colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the exotic-looking computers and proto-cell phones, it is clear that this is neither the Raygun Gothic of days past nor the Everything Is an iPod in the Future aesthetic that would follow, but a bridging point that contains elements of both styles.

Amazingly, nobody appears to have done a Wikipedia page for cassette futurism yet, or I'd link to that.

EDIT: Here's a DDG link to an image search for cassette futurism, to sort of give an idea:

A 1:22 civilian-to-target ratio is not proportional. No matter how rationalize who the target is.

As best I can tell, there's no hard-and-fast established doctrine for determining weight of acceptable collateral damage.

But I'd point out that this guy is probably going to be considered a high-value target, someone that Israel would consider the loss of to have a disproportionate impact on the war relative to an individual infantryman. That is, losing him disrupts command-and-control.

Even if there were some firm number for warfare in an urban environment, like "1:5" or something, his value is probably going to be higher than that. Most countries aren't going to do F-16 strikes on an individual infantryman, questions of collateral damage aside.

It might be possible to look at the wargaming scoring rules that countries have used in wargaming exercises to try to get a feel for what militaries consider the "military value" of high-level figures relative to an individual soldier, and that might give some idea of what they might consider the ratio to be in a general sense. But my point is just that whatever the ratio is, it's going to be more than 1.

How many investigations have you heard of personally?

I mean, it's not really a topic that I'd personally follow. If it's typical of most countries, there are some, but soldiers tend to get the benefit of doubt, as they're in dangerous situations, and tend to be granted more leeway than someone in civilian situations are. That is, they aren't super-common, but do happen.

An Israeli military court has convicted a soldier of manslaughter for shooting and killing a Palestinian assailant who was already incapacitated.

The shooting happened in the occupied West Bank in March of 2016, and was captured on camera.

The judges found that 20-year-old Sgt. Elor Azaria acted in cold blood when he shot and killed Abdel Fattah al-Sharif, NPR's Joanna Kakissis reports from Jerusalem:

"Al-Sharif had been shot and wounded after stabbing an Israeli soldier. Eleven minutes later, Azaria shot the motionless Al-Sharif in the head.

But that just goes to the argument that they do happen. As to this particular situation, as I said in my prior comment, I do not expect that Israel will find the people who bombed the guy to have acted inappropriately.

Often, specifically the word colour

I strongly suspect that whatever spellchecker you're using has the option to have a user dictionary of added words that you want it to accept.

EDIT: If you mean Fedora Linux, I don't know what program you're talking about.

I'd guess that it's either aspell or hunspell.

Hunspell doesn't seem to have a Canadian English Fedora package:

https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/hunspell-en/

Looking at the package file list, it looks like the files required for US English go in:

/usr/share/hunspell/en_US.aff

And:

/usr/share/hunspell/en_US.dic

But it does look like a Canadian English dictionary exists:

https://github.com/wooorm/dictionaries/tree/main/dictionaries/en-CA

I see an index.aff and index.dic there.

I don't know why Fedora wouldn't have a Canadian English hunspell dictionary package. Debian does:

https://packages.debian.org/sid/hunspell-en-ca

And Aspell does have Canadian English:

https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/aspell-en/aspell-en/

Provides the word list/dictionaries for the following: English, Canadian English, British English

I feel the same way.

I wonder if some of it might be due to the Microsoft acquisition.

I use Firefox in any graphical environment. It's considerably more customizable than Chrome is, thanks to about:config.

I use Kagi for most searching, though there are a lot of other useful search tools out there for specialized searches, like Tineye for reverse image search.

Only a fifth of Canadians younger than 50 plan on having kids

That's sustainable as long as those 1 in 5 Canadians who do have a kid each have on average at least 10 kids.

The poll found 51% say it is “not their responsibility” to fund other people’s childcare, with the most likely group to say this are those who have raised children to the age of 18 or older, where the proportion rises to 59%.

While I've got sympathy for that position, the flip side of that is that it's taxes from those kids who will be paying for pension, medical care, and so forth of people who don't have kids.

So if you don't want to pay for someone else's kids, it does seem a bit unfair that their kids should pay for your old age. I mean, it required a lot of time and work and money on the part of people who did have kids to raise that kid.

The social welfare model in most countries, as things stand, is rather loaded against people who have kids.

I'm not saying that assassination is an acceptable way of dealing with disputes between Russian federal states, but I would point out that Kadyrov has an extensive history of having people assassinated himself.

Well, I mean, it's not like the field is there to provide ornamentation to people driving down the road, and it's not like the people complaining own the field. The person could build whatever they wanted there. A row of pink barns, I dunno. That's not specific to solar farms. Maybe there's someone who doesn't like the aesthetic of a field of soy or something.

I don't personally find solar farms particularly beautiful or ugly.

Not solar, but I'll concede a point to the people who don't like wind turbines on ridgelines, because then when the sun sets behind them, they create enormous flashing shadows as they rotate that are really hard to ignore if you're in the path of the shadow. Most of the time they don't do it, of course, but when they do, it's a pain.
