Many more basic Emacs keybindings work, actually! Including C-f, C-b, C-p and C-n (if you prefer them over arrow keys) as well as M-f and M-b to move by words, C-k, M-d and C-y for killing/yanking (but not M-w) and C-SPC, C-w, C-x C-x for region manipulation (tested in Bash and ZSH)

For some reason, Lot and his family were considered the only ones worth saving in that city.

Only because Abraham pleaded with God to save them

Yes. Is it all religious fanatics? No, that’s a minority. Secular Zionism is a thing too.

Kind of? Zionism started as a secular movement, and although Israel still has a secular majority, we’ve seen a kind of inversion where the religious Zionists have become the most extreme and committed. Don’t get me wrong: Zionism is still dependent on the consent and support of the secular majority, and wouldn’t be able to achieve anything without it, but now it’s largely being pulled further right by the religious branch,

Not necessarily of two-party systems or FPTP, I think this is a property of single-member districts in general. If you have multi-member districts (say 4 or 5 representatives per district) this becomes much less effective. Statewide PR solves this by removing districts, which for most people isn’t ideal.

Are H and J compatible?

I interpret this being more about how GNOME apps function in general, also on other desktops, which is fair criticism.

Yeah AFAIK Mandarin is official in Taiwan but a few others (chiefly Hokkien) are common.

That’s literally feminism

May I remind you that Israel also (allegedly) has nukes?

Yup, this is all self-preservation to him from the start. Watch him keep this going for a few more years, then come up with an excuse to “delay” the election.

Meanwhile what considers itself the “left” in Israel is still very much genocidal and imperialist.

Until recently I would have agreed with you (other than the actual hard-left which consists of Hadash, Ta’al and Balad, two of them being explicitly Palestinian parties), but recently, and also a few times in the past, the leader of the Israeli Democrats (a new party with a terrible name) said some really based stuff which is a step in the right direction if nothing else. And now they’re trying to take away his military credentials, which just shows that he’s right. But even he can’t abandon liberal Zionism, and a bit of militarism, if he wants anyone to listen to him.

It’s more that the left is small and insignificant, because it has many of the same problems as the left in other right-wing countries: it advertises to a progressive middle class, and completely ignores the lower classes who would most benefit from its policies.

Left-wing policies in Israel will certainly help disadvantaged people, but left-wing (Zionist) parties talk about abstract ideals like “democracy”, instead of material conditions. And citizens who struggle under the cost of living, almost or actually in poverty, don’t care about the type of government they have: they care about surviving to the next day, and left-wing parties have just given up on trying to get their vote.

Essentially my point here is that Israeli society is not fundamentally incompatible with left-wing ideas or policies (leading eventually, hopefully, to anti-Zionism), but left-wing parties have consistently ignored those who need them most, leading them to the right and to distrust the left, effectively digging their own grave.

They did know… it has been explicitly stated that they did. They’re just saying that they don’t take part in it.

That’s an Arabic loan word if I’ve ever seen one

Wouldn’t a straw be the product of a circle and a line?

Found the Haskell programmer

Why doesn’t a spectrum imply total ordering? Seems like an ordinary one-dimensional line (of course in reality, sexuality is not just a spectrum either, it’s some high-dimensional space, but I digress…).

Or do I just not know the word spectrum properly?

You’re right. In fact, I think the easiest OS to install is probably some sort of Linux distro. But most people don’t install their OS. And Windows is shipped built-in on many computers (even though we’re starting to see some Linux options as well).

If you want, you can also compile everything with Nix!
