This is why nobody use conscripts, imagine an army that is all cops.

Ok do you understand what an analogue is?

Perhaps Lemmy needs a "translate to simple English feature for you"

It's an apt comparison, there aren't many examples so on the nose about deliberately destabilizing secular groups and Islamist groups filling the power vacuum, only to become a more violent threat.

If you want you could compare it to the allied powers starving the Spanish Republic of resources, enabling the rise of the Nazis, but it's a bit of a stretch.

Also Hamas was empowered by the Israeli state by the distruction of secular opposition.

Not disimilar to how the US armed the Taliban & created a power vacuum for them to fill

You ever wonder what it would be like if you had self-esteem & were proud of your values instead of complaining about others having virtues?

If Israel don't like Hamas they shouldn't have created them

flatpaks are all updated at once, just like distro packages, so yeah you might need to commands, but that's still very different to having each application update itself (and the security hell implied by that)

Also I think pkcon can manage your updates across various backends (unless you are on Arch, where I think there are both technical & ideological objections to having a simple tool that just works)

Good thing I've watched that video, twice then!

Alternative take: Wasting hours on an bringing the city into compliance with it's own charter, while homeless tenants waiting for their opportunity to speak, pissed off everyone more than paying the Mayor a little more.

It could even tell me what 1312 means, after I told it it was a number substitution cypher
