Asahi linux. AFAIK Linus Tovalds still uses Macs - he has done so at least since the Intel era. I am co nsidering buying one as first a sort of low power gaming console (on MacOs) and eventually as an efficient yet powerfull home server…

I meant

Depending how the Maldives is doing this (is it based on Israeli Citizenship or is it based on Israeli Nationality?)

It’s in the article - passports!

It doesn’t make any difference, since because there really aren’t any supporters of Israel in this thread, you will just open on anyone you assume is one with walls and walls of text (with which I mostly agree with you) but on a topic nobody put forward and in this condescending manner that is just meant to offend people. You haven’t tried to understand my argument at all, you haven’t even read the bloody article, you just want to scream at somebody.

So since you are this terrible at reading - let me put it again just for you and you only, I’ll try to be blunt:

The tragedy here is that Israel says in response to the 7/10 that all Gazans are guilty, they all deserve to die. That is not acceptable, that is called collective punishment. And Maledives are justifying Israels approach by doing the same. Now Israel can say:

" Look ! Maledives are also using the same principle of collective punishment / collective responsibility and the World is praising them! “They are all antisemites and they are all using “special meter” on us and different meter on everyone else:”. /s

…and what is worst - in this case they have a point! This exactly what we don’t need right now. They could have just banned the settlers, or they could have just banned those several settlers Biden has banned and that would be perfectly fine. This is clumsy at best - no - It’s just tragically stupid. It’s costing us time that Gazans don’t have.

I would like to point out that for some time I’ve felt bad for also wrongly accusing somebody without reading it all ironically also in regard to the Gaza conflict, but you are so much worse than I am.

Please read the article.

You haven’t read the article. It says Israeli passport holders.

I expected to get downvoted, I got downvoted, I am not angry. Reverse psychology? Manipulate? Are you 100% sure you are not talking about yourself?

And yet your post implied some sort of equivalency.

Equivalency - I have to confess English isn’t my first language and I am not sure I understand what you mean specifically/ in what context. Would you please care to explain?

As for the blanket ban - while it wasn’t my comment, I don’t find it unreasonable - how would you describe a rule advertised as punishing extremist Zionism that also punishes both post Zionists and anti Zionists all the same?

Nobody is saying we’re going to block the Palestinians from traveling anywhere. Only the perpetrators, not the victims.

Well that is pitty, because they’ve just blocked 2 millions of Palestinians living in Israel proper - Demographics of Israel, wikipedia

Banning someone from your resort island is the same sort of punishment of civilians as killing them?

No, but punishing population for the actions of their government is always bad, always unacceptable, and specially when the country isn’t even democratic like Israel never was. For one thing - this ban does not only affect Israelis, but also 2 millions of Palestinians who live in Israel proper. Wikipedia - Demographics of Israel

South Korea or Brazil also doesn’t have regular citizens? How about Switzerland? List of 85 countries that had mandatory military services in 2023.

There were economic sanctions, there was a huge wave of divestment, but all that was pointed at the institutions of the state - not at its citizens ( like this unfortunate decision of Maledives).

Edit: how much sense would it make blocking black citizens of SA from visiting your country -simply because they live under apartheid?

IMO the equivalency is in how you’ve chosen those individuals that don’t deserve to live / that are no longer allowed to enter…

Thank you! I don’t think I’ve been this proud for getting down voted lately. And I don’t blame you - I hope your motivation is same as mine - to end the tragedy that is currently happening in Gaza ASAP. IMO - You just aren’t terribly adult about it, but I trust that you will get there <3

That is exactly the point - I don’t think one can use terms like “majority” and “assume” to justify collective punishment, because that is exactly what the Israelis are doing right now.(But I am obviously wrong )

This is ubelievably dumb. Israel is not even a democracy. Yes, they may have some democratic laws, but they are also 70+ years under the state of emergency. There isn’t free press. Israelis are getting locked up for protesting for peace, for refusing to fight in a apartheid war, even for liking facebook comments supporting Palestine. Aplying collective punishment / collective responsibility under such circumstances (as generally under any circumstances) not only doesn’t support the plight of palestinian refugees, it goes against it!

I understand their (Maledives) motivation, but this is not the way. You can’t punish all Palestinians for the crimes of the few, nor can you punish all Israelies for the crimes of the many.

Go ahead and downvote me.

Well If you take in account how hard has “The Chief Xit” tried to destroy Twitter and piss off anyone using it, this is actually unexpectadly good result! More Powah to the Man Child 😂 . Also - there is no longer the $1 payment for account creation - I guess bot traffic is better than no traffic 😂.

I am no longer objective: I love these, I’ve been IDCing specifically the 91mm versions (like yours) my entire adult life. It has become a true extension of my body. I wouldn’t consider a change simply because the muscle memory - this thing jumps into my hand safely and reliably without me ever getting to think about it no matter if I am drunk/ stoned or anything. The rule is that when I no longer can find the beer bottle opener - it’s the most tricky one on the knife IMO - I should consider going home. Nothing gets close, different knifes can actually get dangerous for me now because I ain’t used to the shape and I ain’t any longer used to watch my hands operating a knife - I watch only when the cutting is done.

Anyway, I find the old-school opening “an important feature”. These Victorinox knives are widely recognized around the world as not suitable for self-defense (at least not an effective one), which makes them perfect to bring places, where “regular” eg. “liner lock” knives might get you strange stares if not straight up confiscation. Places like government buildings, schools or guarded server rooms. The 58? mm models are too small for effective use, the bigger ones tend to have locks. I am an admin.

Damned, now I am afraid that I’ve oversold the thing. I’d hate if it came in the mail and you ended up disappointed.

Edit 2024-08-31: I’ve reinstalled the thing w/ Fedora 40 cca 3 mnts ago, I think I can safely say the “jerking” is gone.

There is actually one significant glitch with the picture jerking up and down on the display.

I believe it is a software glitch because I can fix it by maximizing a window on the screen or tilting window left / right. I never get to see it really, because right after login Mattermost client fills half of my screen.

Now i believe this has actually worsened since before. On previous versions (not sure 37/38) this has happened only seldomly, you had to play with the device a bit to replicate. But I believe it happened both in landscape and portrait mode.

On Fedora 39 it is absolutely unavoidable in landscape mode - it starts immediately sometimes “jumping up/down” angrily, but does not happen at all in portrait mode.

I’ve tried to replicate by booting Fedora 38 workstation live from flash drive - but I don’t thing that was a good method looking into it - the “autorotate” didn’t work whitch I am sure works after installation and I couldn’t replicate the jerking at all and I am sure it was there already before. I haven’t done full reinstall since I got it, it is possible it has already gone throught 37 upgrade 38 upgrade 39 and this is something I’ve picked up along the way but I’d be surprised. (Also don’t use Unetbootin to create Fedora boot drive - I keep learning that over and over again.)

When you mention susped - I’ve never bloody noticed - it does not suspend automatically! My xfce systems have “presentation mode” always activated so I thought it is something i’ve switched on - but if so - I don’t see obvious way to switch it off. I may have seen some error messages about suspend in the past? I press the power button shortly and it suspends light blinking, i press it again and it goes on again. This feels fixable but I don’t mind atm. It suspends reliably when the keyboard folio closes over it too.

Finally when the keyboard is away on BT for long it runs out of juice. You have to reconnect it to charge up for few seconds and then disconnect/reconnect again to make it work.

The chasis feels sturdy enough to me, but it ain’t as sturdy as a tablet (iPad / Boox ) with one piece metal backplate. Bottom half of the device back connecting kickstand is made of metal (I suspect that is where the heat exchange happens) and that is where a lot of it robustness comes from.

I am an admin by trade so I may not be objective. I have heard about but have never used Mint - I love my “xface”. I do exist in deb based environment like you though and I do know default Ubuntu. I’ve played with Fedora before because curiosity and I think the switch is painless. Pretty much same systemd, same Gnome 3, just watch out dnf update upgrades packages unlike apt. Installing this thing I haven’t done a single “smart” thing. Out of the box it was better user experience than installing windows and everything except that jerking whitch before I had to notice over time worked marvelously. I think I recall looking for activation of hw acceleration in firefox and finding out it was already on. I may have used nmcli to set my wireguard vpn profile but that may have been the total I’ve done in shell except using dnf for speed and using ssh / tmux.

I recall trying Ubuntu on it but while not useless it was far from Fedora. On Ubuntu I kept oscilating between x11 where everything worked but the touch interface was jerky and somewhat useless or wayland where touch was fine but not everything worked as I wanted. Under both scenarious the bluetooth keyboard didn’t work over bluetooth - only connected, and the auto rotation was a no-go. (No “jerking” if I remember correctly!). Fedora provides the best Wayland experiece I’ve seen. IMO well worth learning to deal w/ dnf - even though it’s only one device.
