Huh, as a Linux user who puts up with Proton's unwillingness to support Linux, to me this seems to he saying "Stop paying for Proton until they make Linux clients"

Literally every media outlet curates which stories it publishes, this is not unique to this website.

This sort of ridiculousness is why I got two seperate drives (needed the extra space anyways) and choose which one to boot from the mobo EFI menu.

Israel existed long before America or England were nation states.

Yes, let's just forget all the history about how the Jews were scattered during various occupations over the last 3000-4000 years.

Is Israel just really bad at genocide or am I missing something?

Because Israel has been trying to genocide the Palestinians for at least a decade and a half according to this infographic, and according to others since the creation of the current state of Israel in 1948 (which is really just an indigenous population returning to their millennial-long ancestral home) and the Palestians are are not only there, but the population is growing.

Since a Linux client for Drive doesn't appear to be in the works for anytime soon, having folder statistics (ex. # items in the folder, size of data in the folder) available from the web app would be pretty damn useful for figuring out if a given folder matches an offline backup.

(Yes I know that unofficially there's the rclone thing but I tried that and got an "unusual account activity" error).

More broadly, it would be really helpful if Proton worked on base functionality for their existing products rather continuing to launch new products.

Gaming works pretty damn well as far as I'm concerned, the few that I can't get to work are irrelevant.

I'm keeping Windows around for work... fuck Autodesk and fuck Dassault. So I am trying to get a VM with GPU pass through to work (had it working once but then I screwed it up and now I can't seem to get it working again).

Eh, so does Western Liberalism and basically every other government for the last hundreds of years, I'd argue that they are even authoritarian to very similar degrees but about different things.

Not a bad lisy actually, although I heavily disagree with the military and police budgets line... Authoritarian left regimes are known for very high police and military budgets even with heavily states controlled economies.

Edit: police and military spending tends to relate more to the libertarian-authoritarian spectrum rather than the socioeconomic left-right spectrum

 

And this is exactly why the security clearances don't matter. May says it's basically a nothingburger involving former politicians while Singh is suggesting in involves current policitians and acts as if he's quite upset, but apparently is not upset enough to actually hold the government accountable.

Meanwhile Trudeau doesn't even believe the damn report and Joly says Liberal MPs aren't involved.

The only thing Poilievre having the clearance and reading thr report will be a 5th opinion on what has occurred; this is functionally useless to us as voters because we still won't know who's full of shit and who's not.

We, the people, need the names for ourselves!

 

Get past the paywall:

Quebec Liberal MP Anthony Housefather said Tuesday he is “reflecting” on his future in the Liberal party after a heavily amended NDP motion on Palestinian statehood passed in the House of Commons on Monday.

“I think it’s the first time in my parliamentary career that I’ve had a reflection like this,” a sombre Housefather said Tuesday as he arrived on Parliament Hill.

Housefather was among three Liberals who voted against the final motion, which passed Monday night with a vote of 204 to 117 after extended negotiations between the Liberals and the NDP.

The original version, put forward by NDP MP Heather McPherson, called for Canada to “officially recognize the state of Palestine.” The amended motion adjusted that to recognize Palestinian statehood as part of a two-state solution within a peace process in the Middle East.

It also added language calling for Hamas to lay down its arms, identified it as a listed terrorist organization in Canada and replaced language calling for Ottawa to “suspend all” military goods and technology trade with Israel with a paragraph calling for Canada to stop approving the transfer of “arms exports” to Israel.

The final version was very close to Canada’s existing Middle East policy.

Housefather, along with most major Canadian Jewish organizations, decried the original motion as one-sided, saying it rewarded Hamas for its Oct. 7 terrorist attack in Israel.

He said the amended version was better but still not one he could support.

Housefather added he doesn’t think his colleagues fully appreciate what Jews around the world are facing amid a “strong wave of antisemitism,” or realize that Israel, the only Jewish state, is the last refuge for Jews “when they’re exiled or thrown out of countries.”

“I didn’t feel like some members of Parliament, or a lot of members of Parliament, understood the existential threat that Israel faces and the fears of Jewish Canadians as a result of what’s happening domestically, what’s happening abroad,” he said.

The Liberals could have chosen to vote against the flawed NDP motion, he said – but “we did not do that.”

“And then we give a standing ovation to the NDP member who sponsored the original motion, and I have to reflect now,” he said.

Housefather added he will have more to say soon.

The other two Liberals who voted against the motion were former public safety minister Marco Mendicino and Manitoba MP Ben Carr.

Both said Tuesday they are not looking to leave the Liberal party even though they could not support the motion.

Mendicino said he did not agree with making more than a dozen “substantive” amendments to a motion at the 11th hour without proper time to reflect and debate.

“Canada must play a constructive role in the Middle East but our foreign policy should not be negotiated on the back of an NDP motion,” he said.

The original NDP motion called for “the unilateral recognition” of the state of Palestine “absent a peace process, which would have been inconsistent with Canada’s well established support for a two-state solution,” he said.

The original motion did call for Canada to work toward a two-state solution, but not alongside its demand that Ottawa recognize the state of Palestine. The final version of the motion bridged the two together.

Last week, Carr said he wouldn’t support the motion because it contained many elements he could not back, including that unilateral recognition.

Carr said you cannot have peace as long as Hamas remains in charge of governing the Gaza Strip, as it has since 2007.

He added many of the amendments reflected his concerns, but there was not enough time to think them through and decide whether to change his vote.

Liberal House Leader Steven MacKinnon said the amendments came after lengthy negotiations on a “complex, delicate and emotional” topic.

He did not apologize for the fact they were introduced so late in the process.

“It took the time it took,” he said.

“I am very proud that almost two-thirds of the Parliament of Canada was able to back something of that level of complexity, and I think that Canadians should be very proud that there was a uniquely Canadian position taken yesterday by their Parliament.”

He said the Liberals are reaching out to Housefather.

“He’s a colleague that I have enormous respect for and who has been an incredible spokesperson for his community, and we’re going to continue talking with Anthony,” said MacKinnon.

Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said the Liberals need a voice like Housefather’s in the caucus.

“I have enormous respect for him and the community he represents and I think we all benefit from having people like Anthony among our caucus, so I certainly wish that he would stay with us,” said Champagne.
