"But there is a disconnect between condemnation and outrage, and what happens on the ground. When it comes to Israel, the levers of international censure are broken. Throughout the war, international organisations, humanitarian missions and courts of justice have been rendered powerless by their inability to translate their findings into action. Words alone mean nothing. They simply bounce off #Israelโs iron dome of impunity. Every day, the world wakes up and is confronted with an #Israeli leadership that violates every law of morality and logic. Victims are aggressors, humanitarians are biased, an army that kills unarmed medics is the most moral army in the world. Up is down."

An air of complicity has prompted new rhetoric from UK and EU leaders. But it wonโt redeem them โ or change historyโs course, says Guardian columnist Nesrine MalikNesrine Malik (The Guardian)

in reply to MazonnaCara89 • • •File transfer progress bars generally aren't worth shit, I have no idea how this is still a problem. It dates back to the early 90's, and it's still not done properly.
Almost everything to do with file transfer report it to be finished before it actually is, because it doesn't consider write back cache. So it's only the reading part that is finished, not the writing part. Meaning the transfer isn't actually finished.
Never never never trust it is my motto. Personally I'd rather not have the dysfunctional progress bar, if I could have an actually accurate completion notification.
PS: I just switched back to KDE/Plasma after many years. Overall I'm pretty pleased, but also a bit puzzled about a lot of the simplifications.
like inability to disable caps lock, and the inability to change double click speed for the mouse. So now I need a startup command for the caps lock, and I needed to edit an ini file for the mouse for such simple things, that used to be accessible through settings???
But they finally added the ability to use numpad for hotkeys, which I found out, and was what made me switch back to KDE. Now I only miss the ability to use the scroll wheel on hotkeys too. To finally have similar functionality like I had 10-15 years ago with Compiz. ๐

in reply to โ๏ธ- • • •My method is to use sync multiple time, if it returns immediately 2 times it should be clear,
Only then do i dismount the stick, because I don't like to dismount a device with pending operations.
But when the dismount says the stick is ready to be removed, you should be clear.
