It's not the job of the local police to patrol private neighborhoods on request -- that's what private security is for.
The outrageous thing here is that public money is being used to fund it. They have the proceeds from selling off lucrative real estate on stolen land - why don't they pay for it themselves?
Good choice -- Inter is probably the best, most comfortable UI font IMO. Or Roboto.
FYI, UN Watch is a right-wing organization that has been described as a "pro-Israeli monitor" and "lobby group" that has a history of attacking anyone in the UN who is openly critical of Israel vis-à-vis Palestine. (Source)
This article should be taken with a large pinch of salt.
Edit: I've had the time to read through the full article. What a joke.
First off, it claims:
The investigations division of the UN’s Office of Internal Oversight Services recently announced that it has opened a case into allegations of financial improprieties by Francesca Albanese
Which sounds serious and official until you click through to the source and see that this "announcement" is literally just a private email response from the UN to the CEO of UN Watch (Hillel Neuer) who sent a report to them detailing Albanese's alleged malfeasance.
Essentially, the response says "Thank you for your report. We have sent it to the High Commissioner so they can determine if it warrants any action". What a bombshell announcement! /s
Reading further, we find out that the nefarious "pro-Hamas" group is actually the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, whose dastardly aim is to "advocate for Australian policy to support Palestinian human rights, justice, and equality." The bastards!
Oh, and whereas the headline claims that Albanese "took funds" from these villainous Aussies, it turns out that the $20,000 figure is the estimated cost of the trip according to, yes you guessed it, Hillel Neuer himself. Albanese states her trip was funded by the UN. Neuer offers no other evidence to the contrary.
The article then cites a laundry list of claims about Albanese being an anti-semite because of her public statements about the legality of Israel's war on Gaza that do not conform to the official line from the Israeli government.
Hoo boy, what a load of horse manure.
What happened is that Biden and his team completely screwed up. They called for this debate and agreed to its terms, which included the fact that the moderator team would not be fact checking Trump in order to avoid accusations of bias.
These terms shifted the onus of calling Trump out on his biggest lies to Biden himself, who would have known that Trump would try to gish-gallop his way through the debate and avoid discussing policy because that's precisely what he did in 2020. The fact that Biden failed spectacularly to counter Trump in any meaningful way is the reason why he lost the debate.
Most Catholics tend to lean much more towards an allegorical interpretation of the Bible when compared to, say, Evangelical Protestants. They also tend to quote scripture a lot less.
I'm seeing exactly the same thing. Certain companies re-listing the same position for months on end, despite hundreds of people applying.
According to this article I read recently, some companies are either doing it to give the illusion that they're thriving and planning to take on more staff, or just to keep a pool of potential applicants on the back burner just in case.
It sucks. I've been looking to make a career change for over a year, and have only had two interviews despite sending out literally hundreds of applications.
I find that lemmy has less of an echo chamber, but the average political stance is a lot more left-ish than reddit.
This is true once you've blocked Lemmygrad and Hexbear, which are as much echo chambers as r/The_Donald ever was.
Also, for people on distros that don't have an OOTB solution like OpenSUSE have, I recommend snapper and btrfs-assistant. You just install both packages, open the assistant GUI and create a profile for your root partition.
You can then also install a snapper plugin for your package manager, if one exists (I know DNF and pacman have one), which automatically take pre/post snapshots like OpenSUSE does, so you can quickly roll back if something goes wrong after a particular update/install/removal.
I've been using the above with EndeavourOS for a year now and it's come in very handy on a couple of occasions.
Man that side-by-side of the scrolling lag was super obvious. That would drive me up the wall.
It's such a shame that Google still can't get their act together and offer as smooth and consistent an experience as their rivals because otherwise they do have a lot going for them
This is just my not-at-all-in-depth summary based on playing around with a few in VMs, but as a non-power-user:
Fedora Silverblue
Pros: Good support/documentation
Cons: barebones Gnome/required layering quite a few packages ~~if you want any kind of customization~~ before I could get my system up and running
OpenSUSE Aeon (MicroOS)
Pros: good number of built-in tools (e.g. Tweaks, distrobox)
Cons: documentation is sorely lacking
Vanilla OS
Pros: great ease of use/installation, container-centric
Cons: still very much a work in progress/small dev team
Next on the list of pointlessly reductive comparisons: let's judge which is the best desktop environment solely on which has the superior clock app.
