I’m sure someone will use rust to build a bloated reactive declarative dynamic UI framework, that wastes cycles, eats memory, and is inscrutable to debug.

Maybe he had his shoes on the seats and is now crying racism.

Yes, OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

Regarding Linux distributions, I don’t have a specific recommendation. You might be worse off with a distro that doesn’t include nonfree drivers for wifi, bluetooth, graphics by default. IIRC these MBPs use Broadcom Wifi chips. Ubuntu and derivatives would be my first try. Definitely read up on how to install Linux on MBPs. You probably might have to configure something in OpenFirmware/EFI.

This is also true for other people.

Political alliances are bad because they would mean actually taking action. It’s much more comfortable to just sit around, criticize, and preach your moral superiority.

There was an international arms embargo by the USA and the UN on Israel/Palestine in 1947-48.

The Zionists bought and smuggled in surplus WW2 weapons from Czechoslovakia during that time. The Soviet Union helped the Zionists, which were dominated by socialists at the time in the hopes of gaining an ally.

Between 1948 and 1967 there was no slow removal of Palestinian Arabs. Almost all of it was quite sudden in 1948. Keep in mind that Jewish Palestinians were expelled from the Jordan occupied West Bank and half of Jerusalem. Gaza was occupied by Egypt and Jews were expelled. Arab and Muslim countries persecuted and expelled their Jewish population after 1948, resulting in 800,000 to a millions Jews fleeing, many to Israel.

The biggest issue is security updates and a current internet browser.

Of course I can use a 30 year old computer that still works with the software it can run.

LibreOffice is okay for some stuff, but shows its limitations pretty quickly once you use it for more serious tasks.

• Writer is the best of the suite and has deleted comments for me several times without ability to recover.
• The spreadsheet is a toy compared to Excel spreadsheets used in pretty much any business.
• The presentation software produces ugly results by default.

The only things LibreOffice has going for it, is the price and that the UI doesn’t change. LibreOffice has no good mobile apps.

Better alternatives to Microsoft Office are Google Docs etc. and Apple’s iWork suite. Both have good compatibility with Microsoft’s files and run great on mobile.

Google has ease of use, easy sharing and collaboration. Apple’s iWork has great usability and features and produces beautiful results by default. The suite comes free with every Apple device. Google Docs is free to use as well.

That’s of course ignoring the workhorse called Outlook. You can kind of approach its features with a handful of other applications, but won’t reach the same functionality.

LibreOffice has one unique application in its suite: Base local database. Microsoft Access and FileMaker used to very popular, but faded into the background over the last decade.

15 years is actually reasonable.

I have a ten year old laptop with an i7 processor, 16 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD. It still does most things, I bought it for initially just fine. Granted this was one of the best laptops you could buy at the time.

Apple stopped supporting it with a current version of macOS a couple of years ago sadly. It’s still possible to patch newer versions to install and run on the old machine, but it’s a bit of a hassle.

Chat GPT makes up everything it says. It’s just good at guessing and bullshitting.

I agree with you.

Yes, banks are used for crimes on a massive scale. Usually that’s not available to small time people.

Crypto can be used for criminal activity with a low barrier to entry. There are several use cases where things maybe should not be illegal in the first place. Like buying drugs for example.

The F-150 is very modular. You basically build whatever on the back for whatever job you need done. You can’t do that with the Cybertruck because it’s not built like that with a frame.

Not all guards of concentration camps or SS members were prosecuted. That was also an unusual situation as the Nazi state and the SS ceased to exist and was occupied for decades.

No ICE agent will be prosecuted for conducting arrests or executing warrants against illegal immigrants. Once mass torture, inhumane treatment, extralegal executions and such start, it becomes more risky for them.

We don’t know how bad it will get yet or what comes after. In the best case Trump and republicans lose the next elections. A New Democrat government could simply downsize ICE and only prosecute a handful of bad apples. Remember what happened after Abu Ghraib.

The SS had many tasks. One of them was to protect the regime against coups from the army or SA.

At the beginning the SA also ran concentration camps, the SS took them over soon.

SS, Gestapo, and regular police were all under Himmler’s command via the Reichssicherheitshauptamt.

Gestapo was formed from preexisting secret political police forces.

Trumpism operates differently than Nazism. However Trump needs a loyal oppression infrastructure to build a more authoritarian system. ICE is on its way to enable that.

I read posts just like yours ten years ago.

Look up what happened during the second intifada. That’s the context. Of course that also includes militancy, violence, and terrorism.

BDS

Doesn’t even support a two state solution for example.

Vietnam and South Africa were different. Neither of which ended through university protests. The Vietnam war was too expensive and politically unwinnable. Apartheid South Africa ended because the ANC was able to alleviate the fears of white South Africans from being massacred if they lose power. Neither of which applies to Palestine.

Israel(is) can’t go their home elsewhere, like the American soldiers. They also have valid fears of being exterminated if they lose some nance over the situation. Something like October 7th Never happened in South Africa.

Harping on these other situations hinders your ability to understand what’s going on in Israel/Palestine.

Antiair weapons don’t fight or kill the air.

Antisemitism was introduced as a more polite and scientific sounding euphemism for anti-Judaism. It’s just like racists today calling themselves race realists.
