Thanks.

Thank you for this comparison! Tell me, where is the Esc key on the KA360? I’ve looked at the photographs, but not found it! Surely other VIM users use Kinesis keyboards.

Israel is far less theocratic than the United Kingdom, where the head of State is also the head of Church. And she’s actually a descendant of Muhammad too! I could mention quite a few other “esteemed” theocracies, from Iran to (arguably) the United States (Christmas is a government holiday). Any definition of “Theocracy” that includes Israel, will include the majority of the Western world.

As for being an ethnostate, Israel is far less of an ethnostate than any other middle eastern country with possibly the exception of Lebanon depending on how you’d like to frame Lebanese law requiring certain government positions to be held by people of certain ethnicities. And any definition of “ethnostate” that includes Israel will include Belgium, Latvia, Estonia, and Ireland as well, at a minimum.

The teen was not shot for “violating traffic laws”. The teen was shot for disobeying a direct, lawful order of a police officer to stop his vehicle.

I do not know what the intention of the “news” organization is, but it is clearly inflammatory.

My daughter was born at 22:30 on December 31. In Korea she would have been considered 2 years old when she was born less than 2 hours previously.

like the simulations on the news show

Why would you put any faith in a simulation by an organization that has no knowledge of the domain?

Well then you’ll be glad to visit, because that narrative is easy to dispel. Especially considering the topic of this post is visiting Turkey of all intolerant places.

Come to Israel. We respect everybody. Yes, even the people that the news tries to make you think that we hate. The vast majority of us don’t.

What is showing its age on your v60? I still use, and recommend, a Samsung Note 10 Lite. It has a headphone jack and that terrific stylus built in. It’s on Android 12 and has no lagginess issues that even new phones have. There is an Android 13 update too, but I have not updated yet.

I started suffering mouth ulcers shortly after independently discovering that the kiwi skin is edible. It took some time to figure out what the cause was, because the sores would develop days after eating them.

Will start to test Debian stable.

This is a smart move.

Debians make for very good servers, I’ve been using Debian servers since moving my desktop from Fedora (when it was still called Fedora Core) to Ubuntu. I don’t regret it one bit. The community is excellent, and there is ample information available online without having to ask a new question.
