The UK Government isn’t just complicit, it’s actively enabling genocide abroad and criminalising resistance to it here at home. They’ve weaponised anti-terror laws to silence dissent, not against violence, not against extremism, but against people trying to stop war crimes. If speaking out against war crimes makes you a terrorist, then the real danger isn’t the protesters, it’s a system that protects the killers and punishes those who stay silent.

"It Shouldn't Have Taken This Much For Mainstream Voices To Start Speaking Up About Gaza" by Caitlin Johnstone

caitlinjohnst.one/p/it-shouldn…

>I’m glad people are waking up to the cruel reality of this nightmare. I’m grateful to each and every influential voice who uses their platform to speak out, even at this late date. I truly am.But I also think we need to take a very hard, very uncomfortable look at ourselves as a society right now. If all those monstrous abuses were tolerable for us over these last two years, there’s something deeply and profoundly sick about our civilization.

Caitlin offers a very necessary inventory of Israel's, IDF's and settlers' abuses, war crimes (if we consider this a war, which I wouldn't) and acts of genocide prior to current mass starvation. Yes, mass starvation is surely a red line, but why weren't all these other atrocities? Maybe these "newcomers" are now seeing that this is the end for Gazans, and they wish to be able to say "hey, I opposed the genocide!". Well, it took almost two years, and that silence is exactly what helped, so don't feel so good about yourselves... What you should do, in my opinion, and that certainly would be very helpful for the future, is to follow Caitlin's advice and take this hard and uncomfortable look on yourselves. For that, a therapist will help a lot, because for such endeavours a third person is usually necessary. You see, humans build all sorts of mental frameworks that help them feel good about whatever they do, even if it's a socially destructive (even criminal) practice. Nobody thinks they're the bad guy, everyone can justify what they are doing "rationally". Even if they're not especially proud of it, it may sound as "you know, I have a family to feed", or "I follow orders". Our minds can be that deceptive and blinding.

Beyond Gaza’s Shadow: The Unseen War for the West Bank’s Future

"Israel is meticulously following a textbook model of instigating unrest in the occupied West Bank. The latest such provocations consisted of stripping the Palestinian-run Hebron (Al-Khalil) municipality of its administrative powers over the venerable Ibrahimi Mosque. Worse, according to Israel Hayom, it granted these powers to

I want to defend Wayland here and explain a crucial piece that I think people are missing...

The splitting of protocols in Wayland and compositor reimplementation were to allow for new form factors. It had to sacrifice the guarantee of all desktop app functionality being present to achieve that.

The idea (as I see it) was never to have 500 desktop compositors all trying to reimplement the same thing with slight differences. Iinstead, it was for 500 different interfaces for different platforms that are compatible with the same apps (e.g. desktop, laptop, phone, car screens, AR/VR, watch). Different form factors have totally different ways of dealing with interface, but share enough common features where it makes sense to have 1 base protocol and many other ones for device/form specific features.

Problem is, while in 2008-2016 we had a ton of new experimental UIs coming out on a semi-regular basis (that was the peak of the whole convergent phone/tablet craze, smartwatches started, fancy car UI, touch tables, early AR/VR) things have quieted down. The purpose of Wayland's insane modularity hasn't been visible to most people given it's almost always complained about in a desktop contest vs X11. But X11 was literally only designed for a desktop form factor and has been refined for that 1 purpose for decades!

As an example of different form factors, Wayland lets IVI (in-vehicle infotainment) systems work way better than Xorg could have. Desktop window layouting on that platform would inherently produce massive amounts of unnecessary complexity, and the ability to direct scanout saves on power/expensive compute. Automotive Grade Linux and COVESA maintain reference interfaces for cars so companies can iterate a ton faster. Wayland gives the app compatibility and they can make the system UI work with more flexibility and ease than an X11 window manager.

Take Linux Mobile too, the compositor can reliably enforce window layout and boundaries and composition. While this could technically be done with an X window manager and compositor, doing it with Wayland guarantees reliability as the app simply doesn't have a choice or room for error. Some things like drag and drop of toolbars doesn't make much sense on mobile given how small the screens are.

There's some interfaces where X11 is basically impossible to use. In AR/VR (where i am making a Wayland compositor) the concept of a screen simply does not exist. How is an app supposed to position itself when the very concept of 3D is not part of the protocol? In Wayland I don't have to implement the protocols that don''t work (e.g. layer shell) and therefore any apps that don't need it will be compatible..

Wayland has allowed for insane levels of flexibility, things that no other display server architecture can do reasonably. Total flexibility between app and screen, direct scanout without hacks, AR/VR support, etc.

Here's some fun and useful stuff that's been done with Wayland, stuff that X11 could never reasonably do:

  1. LG Smart TV UI: youtu.be/4cmYCK9PBkM
  2. Multiple user collaboration on touch tables with arbitrary rotation: youtu.be/8xtjJTJAQsY
  3. AR/VR apps running in windows and volumes at the same time, all interactable back in 2014 (eat your heart out magic leap and apple): github.com/evil0sheep/motorcar
  4. Presentation slides that were themselves a Wayland compositor written in Qt and QML so therefore allowed fully interactive live demos in an integrated form factor with a very popular and easy to code UI framework: youtu.be/mIg1P3i2ZfI
  5. Cosmic panels are actually Wayland compositors, meaning widgets can draw literally anything from any toolkit in any language.

Now, could Wayland devs maybe have distributed features across protocols better? Worked with app toolkit devs to ensure the protocols they made actually fit what the apps and compositors needed? Stopped bikeshedding (though imo many cases of "bikeshedding" are simply accounting for other form factors)? Absolutely!

My point here is simple: there was a reason for making it this modular, for not having a standard implementation. It wasn't just devs trying to impose some ideology, it wasn't some corporate takeover. It's good reasons that people using X11 on their desktop/laptop don't encounter. If we made something that wasn't universal, most apps wouldn't be compatible with it and therefore everything but the desktop form factor would lack apps.

Die egoistische Forderung der Spediteure: Rücknahme der Lkw-Maut-Erhöhung. Das hat die Bundes­regierung kurz nach den Protesten erfüllt.

Das steht im krassen Gegensatz zu den harten Verurteilungen von uns altruistischen Klimaaktivisten, die für ein gutes Leben für alle kämpfen. Etliche mussten ins Gefängnis, viele haben hohe Geldstrafen bezahlt. Auch wir haben Straßen blockiert, für ein Tempolimit wie im restlichen Europa, aber wir wurden wegen Nötigung und Gewalt gegen die Polizei verurteilt. Nicht weil wir die Polizei bedroht hätten, sondern weil das Ankleben an den Asphalt als Gewalt gegen Vollstreckungsbeamte gewertet wurde.

Die Begründung der Staats­anwaltschaft, warum Lkw-Fahrer im Gegensatz zur Letzten Generation straffrei bleiben: mangelndes öffentliches Interesse an einer Strafe.
