Iran and Russia have never done anything like what Israel is doing, this ridiculous comparison mainly exists in the minds of Western commentators who earn their keep by agreeing with Washington. Not to mention they are nations with thousands of years of history and will not be going anywhere when Uncle Sam's money dries up.
This entire project you picked up of comparing Israel to Russia has done nothing to help Ukrainians or Palestinians. It has simply muddied the waters further. No, Israel was not "provoked", Palestine was provoked. And yes, Russia and Iran were provoked by the same US alliance.
What about India, where Hindutva has been ethnically cleansing Muslims this entire time? No it's just parroting the rogues gallery of Washington. There is no detail, only your useless addition to the WAPO oped comments section.

Did a quick google and it doesn't look like 3.0 is gonna be unfucking that, so maybe that
MRs from who? Because in my experience it often feels like a closed club in gnome land.
I've had experience trying to contribute to evince the gnome PDF viewer. It was so frustrating and I was immediately and repeatedly confronted with negativity and distrust that I quit. That was the only time I did that after making a serious effort.
If you scare away anyone else it's no wonder that it seems like there is no problem.
Yea I think there is a misunderstanding. My first question was not rhetorical. I was just expressing that my personal experience matches the one described above.
With that both statements could have some truth: 5/6 MRs could be merged and it could still be that they dislike external contributions.
I will not file a complaint or anything like that. It was not that I was insulted nor assaulted just they gave me the vibe that external contribution was not very welcome. While frustrating that is ok, even if it could've been better communicated. Also it was like 4 years ago.
With that both statements could have some truth: 5/6 MRs could be merged and it could still be that they dislike external contributions.
External contributions aren't really a thing, 99% of contributions come from people that have been contributing for a while.
As for your MR, you need to go where help is actually wanted, solve issues nobody has gotten to yet. Newer projects are typically easier to contribute to. Probably inquire a bit about the maintainers and project direction in general first.

Great attitude! I was the issue all along. Who would've thought.
Strange that I didn't have that problem almost anywhere else where I contributed.
Edit: you do see how your comment matches my experience that it feels more like a closed club of elites right?
I was curious not knowing that evince is getting retired and looked into this It seems there was a problem even for established contributors which is why it was eventually forked. This Blogpost goes into detail.
It seems the main maintainer had very little time for the project. I don't know if that was the case 4 years ago but if it was it would explain some things.

It's like this everywhere, you'll always be initially met with circumspection. Passer-by contributions are not a help, helping out new contributors is a lot of effort that not every maintainer wants to deal with. You want to help, that's great, but you're not entitled to helping.
Gnome might be a club, but it's definitely not closed, you just need to put in the effort to show you're worth having around.
No thanks. I don't want nor need to be in the club. Nor will I ever go out of my way to show people that I'm "worth having around" in my free time. I don't think that's healthy.
If they don't see my worth or I am actually worthless to have around I'll search for someplace else. Like I said already: I have never had that problem in any other project.
Also I don't feel entitled to have my patches merged. I can maintain them myself if necessary.

Beautiful work .... I really don't mind the long wait between releases ... the previous Gimp 2.0 versions were so robust and practical that they have lasted for close to 20 years
In the early 2000s, I started off with cracked version of photoshop before I discovered GIMP and as soon as I did, I stuck with them since. They've saved me several thousand dollars in software costs over the past 20 years that I really don't mind waiting for the latest major release.
They can take their time releasing 3.0 for all I care. I'm still using 2.10 and I probably will for the next long while until 3.0 becomes stable. They've done a mountainous amount of work already and I congratulate them on everything.
This makes me realize too that I should probably donate something to their community for all the money they've saved me over the years.

From the update:
One area we want to focus on after 3.0 is improving our UI/UX design process. We have set up a separate UX repository to report and discuss issues related to design. We are looking to build a team of designers to discuss and create design improvements to GIMP that also respect existing user’s workflows. Denis Rangelov has taken a strong interest in this area and has already done great work in identifying, categorizing, and moving design issues from the code repository to the dedicated design section. Some design improvements have already been implemented for 3.0, and we look forward to working with community designers to give people a better experience!
It'll take some time, but it seems like improvments may be coming.

That's pretty neat. I do hope they do some solid UI/UX research on it, and figure out their own way of smoothing things out without simply "making it like Photoshop" like the grouchy masses are clamoring for. :p

In the meanwhile I discovered PhotoGIMP, which helps with getting basic stuff done through GIMP and addresses some points around image and layer selection and manipulation that used to be so confusing with GIMP.

And now compare that to the Palestinians' drama. What happened on the 7th of October is horrible but what ensued after is even worse.
Israel is trying once again to portray themselves as the sole victim here which is quite hypocritical given the level of destruction they caused in Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon and the civilian lives lost.
They are citing they want to return 80K Israelis to the north of their country, and for that they displaced 1M Lebanese people. Is the well being of 80K people more important than the well being of 1M?
Right. Which is why it would be a man-made disaster and not a natural disaster. The same with Katrina and the levees. Katrina was a natural disaster, but what killed the people in New Orleans was the levees not getting repaired when they needed to be.
And it's different from people refusing to evacuate since that's on them, it's not an issue of other people's incompetence being the cause of mass casualties.
I was going to correct you on the comparison and I tried making my own scaled image .... but I couldn't because yours is a correct scale
I just couldn't believe that Helene was that massive and widespread compared to Katrina which was known as a major event. wow
it’s different from people refusing to evacuate since that’s on them
It isn't though, you need to examine why those people were unwilling or unable to evacuate.
This is a systemic failure; our systems failed to adequately enable and incentivize people to evacuate. Do you judge a country's covid response by the number of people killed by covid, or just chalk that up to people's individual choices too?

We got one of those out of place tornadoes this year! My town had one set down basically in the middle. We lost so many huge old (50-150+ year old) trees because that just doesn’t happen here. And because it doesn’t happen here, and some of the trees were planted well before the roads were built (meaning a lot of the trees that came down were basically in the road, curbs built around them sort of thing), it really did a number on the infrastructure (to say nothing of the damage to homes and stuff).
But in addition to a random tornado, we’ve just had a ton more super strong wind/rain events that cause damage in the last few years. I honestly don’t blame my neighbors for taking down their big old trees rather than deal with the weather damage. (I disagree with it, but I understand it)
Wasn't a big part of Katrina's destruction from the hurricane effectively stalling over the southern US which caused prolonged and massive local damage?
Not trying to discount either event, mostly worried about the time we get a stalled Helene sized hurricane
And a big thank you to politicians blocking major efforts to reduce carbon emissions thanks to lobbying by the industry and foreign governments.
The world finally needs to stop politicans getting huge donations and hold them accountable for their actions.
But they brought a snowball into Congress and everything so obviously climate change is fake news!
Anything and everything for money... I wonder if they'll take cash in hell?
It boils my blood that Republicans would blame Democrats for not sending enough aide during these times, all the while Republicans vote against initiatives drafted up by Democrats to combat these issues specifically.
They use issues like this entirely to rouse their base and keep their support.
You should read Ministry for the Future. It's about how people cope with the world after the effects of climate change get out of hand. It's sobering.
The idea of just blowing up the offending petrol infrastructure made me think of it.
What is the point of comparing Helene to Katrina? Harvey was also a 4.
Why discount the impact of Katrina just because there were systematic issues? It was a natural disaster and that was the impact.
Because it comes off to me like you're trying to "well ackshully" about Helene being really the most devastating hurricane.

Well, it's not over.
This is coming next week. Path is unclear, and its not as big as Helene, but anything near a 930mb in Tampa Bay and plowing over Orlando at 950mb, especially at this angle, is a catastrophe.
Katrina was 920mb at landfall, and these intensity forecasts have been undershooting hurricanes recently.
And there's another low pressure system at the edge of the GFS that I don't like, taking a similar path to Helene:
This is what the upcoming hurricane looked like a few days ago.

As with everything, it also matters where it hits.
Katrina and New Orleans's levees was a big deal. Helene flooding areas many moles from the coast in high altitude areas.
There have been bigger hurricanes that do less damage and likely there will be future weaker ones that do more.

this can't be an accurate or reasonably accurate depiction, these are two completely different storms in a different category after all.
This is like me comparing the joplin tornado to the el reno tornado.
(for those that don't know the joplin tornado was an extremely erratic EF/F 5 tornado that was incredibly strong and just sort of showed up and then lingered over a particular area causing immense destruction, whereas el reno was a massive, very powerful tornado, that was collectively rated to be about an EF/F 3 i believe, although the core itself, and numerous shenanigans it pulled including sub vorticies or whatever the correct term is were much stronger, causing strong localized damage)
this can't be an accurate or reasonably accurate depiction, these are two completely different storms in a different category after all.
What do you mean? This shows the differences between the two.
What do you mean? This shows the differences between the two.
yeah but i don't really see how that matters. Weather is extremely complicated, and unless hurricanes are a lot more consistent than i think they are, this is a lot like comparing two random tornados together, and then being surprised when one of them is a lot worse than the other.
If that's what we're doing we should compare the tri state tornado to any tornado in the last 10 years and suddenly tornados must be a lot less dangerous now than back when the tri state tornado hit.
It's an entirely arbitrary mechanism of comparison. It's just wrong.
Even if the point is trying to convey the difference between different storms, i can pick up two different rocks, they're both different rocks. You can't really glean something from 2 data points effectively.
The different categories are the point. What they're missing though is Helene was much closer to a category 5. It's winds were 15 mph short of that category and the storm tail you can see in the above photo is characteristic of category 5 Hurricanes. That in and of itself isn't a big deal. The big deal is that it's the second storm at this strength this year. The first one stayed coastal where they're used to all that rain.
What the picture is basically saying is Katrina was a warning shot. An actual Category 5 with winds well past 157 mph is going to hit the wrong spot and we're all going to regret not taking climate change seriously.
going to
I don't unpack my go bag anymore even though we only evacuate every sixth year or so. I've lived here 30 years and we've evacuated 4 times, will probably need to this year or next (fire season is almost over). Although, I'm calculating like it happens steadily, not taking into account the acceleration. 1996. 2007. 2017. 2020. uh, fuck. Now that I type that out, those last two are an awful "coincidence" and I need to go sit down.
The different categories are the point.
are they? storms are not like a magic black box that outputs a specific strength of storm, the point i'm making is that we should be comparing every storm we have since the beginning of recorded history and comparing them to what we're seeing now, rather than taking one storm from like a decade ago, and comparing it to another now. This is a completely arbitrary description of climate change.
and? It's wrong. At least link to a source with relevant data or science on it. Shitposting and memes isn't going to help.
Conservatives are literally pretending that biden isn't giving places aid right now, after the hurricane, i don't think this meme is going to stop that from happening lol.
if the implied point of this post is to demonstrate that hurricanes have gotten worse over time due to climate change, yes this is objectively wrong, even if the underlying data is true.
Just because you have the correct solution, doesn't mean you calculated it correctly.
To give an example here, let's say i have a set of 99 numbers, 1-99 and lets say i add one more number, 100, but oops i accidentally add two more zeroes so now it's actually 10,000
If i take an average of the extremes (not perfectly analogous here but i'm demonstrating a simple point) of 1, and 10,000 then the average is going to be 5,000 roughly. However most of those data points are going to live within 1-99 so this is an extremely incorrect "demonstration" of the effect here.
The primary problem here being that we don't really know what the direct effects of climate change are going to be, just that we know what it will probably do, and if this is the first significant event of this category, we're about to find out why fat fingering the 0 twice is going to be really unfortunate.
Now if the point is that "hurricane bigger than other hurricane lol" sure, but that's a stupid point to make. Again my original example of joplin vs el reno tornados. It's entirely arbitrary for no reason. It'd be like if i stopped you on the side of the road, picked up two rocks, and went "these sure are rocks aren't they?"
I remember when conservatives were hooting and hollering about Climate Science Being Wrong, because the predicted "Worst hurricane season on record" wasn't producing a record number of powerful storms.
Well... now what? I guess we can fall back to Gaetz and DeSantis blaming Biden for a bad cleanup job. Or go the MTG approach and start talking about HARP and the Jewish Space Lasers.

Why would a satellite actually imaging storms want to place a satellite in the image as well?
I think its from some movie, like "the Day after Tomorrow" or something.
Because in movies you can have a shot of a satellite while showing a shot of the storm. I think that's fairly harder to do in real life, seeing you'd have to have two satellites perfectly in sync (and they go pretty fast) or a satellite (space stations are satellites as well) with a very long selfie stick.

I'll take what I said on Reddit and bring it here: Don't comment on downvotes, they don't matter.
Not quite, the Helene one is between 25% and 50% more zoomed in based on what I can see of the bump of Louisiana and the shape of Cuba. Still a striking comparison even with that accounted for.
Edit: Oh wait, I misread the uncovered coast line on Cuba. I think that's actually closer than I initially thought. They just have it panned and rotated a little.
What I don't like about these graphics is there is no data source so you have to look it up to know how much to believe about what they say. So for those wondering, per Wikipedia:
- Helene was a Cat 4, its max diameter was between 400-450 miles, max wind speed of 140 mph is correct. Known fatalities so far > 227 and counting.
- Katrina was a Cat 5, 400 miles in diameter as shown, but with a max windspeed of 175 mph, not 125. For those too young to remember, Katrina was a very, very bad storm. So bad. Over 1392 fatalities (official estimate; exact number unknown). BTW Katrina also had a big tail/wing(?) stretching to the north when it hit land like what Helene had, but thinner since further west--but those don't count as part of the measured diameter of the hurricane.
My opinion of this graphic: Hurricanes are getting worse because of climate change, but we don't need to convince people of that by downplaying Katrina or making Helene look scarier--Helene is also very very bad. It's all bad, folks.

German police raid homes of Palestine activists in lead-up to October 7 commemorations
On Monday, September 30, the Berlin police, on behalf of the public prosecutor’s office, conducted house raids with a total of 125 officers, on the homes of five pro-Palestinian activists ranging in age from 18 to 40. The simultaneous raids took place around 6:00 a.m., in what police describe as a series of “pro-Palestinian motivated crimes.”

Please read my comment carefully, I did not do that. It is pretty obvious that the dynamics of how groups work and how you get people to believe in certain goals are pretty universal. Populism is designed to abuse how everyone perceives and judges outside information for political gain. Therefore it is viable for any political orientation. Other strategies are very significant as well (left&right).
Populism can be found on the left and the right and should be criticized everywhere.
I honestly think you're just throwing around buzzwords, how is all of this this directly related to fascism? You're essentialy making fascism appear pretty harmless by using it as a catch-all phrase.
And if you can't be friendly to people with different opinions, your opinions are only a result of one-sided socialisation, not of discussion and reflection with the help of others. And therefore on the same level as any other unreflected opinion.
It is pretty obvious that the dynamics of how groups work and how you get people to believe in certain goals are pretty universal.
Why do you believe this? Because I've studied how fascists currently recruit and the methods are very different from how socialist orgs recruit. I have also studied how fascism developed in nazi Germany, Spain, and Italy, and they seem incredibly different from socialist forms of movement building.

I honestly think you’re just throwing around buzzwords, how is all of this this directly related to fascism?
Populism is a strain of buzzword designed to equate two very different ideologies. Obviously you can't try to minimize fascism directly so since the holocaust fascists have been trying to downplay fascism by making it a symmetrical evil with communism. If you want to learn more I would suggest looking through some of Dovid Katz's writings on holocaust collaboration in Eastern Europe.
And if you can’t be friendly to people with different opinions, your opinions are only a result of one-sided socialisation, not of discussion and reflection with the help of others.
I didn't say we weren't friendly to people, I said we aren't friendly to certain ideas.
And being unfriendly to mainstream ambient opinions that we have decided to reject isn't an indication of one sided socialization. While you might not be socialized to understand socialist ideas, socialists in the west grew up around and are intimately familiar with liberal ideas.
not of discussion and reflection with the help of others. And therefore on the same level as any other unreflected opinion.
Luckily though, socialists invest in the social practice of group learning and reflection, including engaging in ruthless criticism of our own ideas. So no, we have established that it is not at the same level.
This may be, but the probability is unarguably higher than with Trump. Voting exclusively for candidates you morally agree on only works if enough people have the same morale (in this case i.e. are educated on Israel and so on) and are also not willing to make compromises.
Even if unfortunate, this is currently not the case; and you voting independent has smaller chances of changing that than voting democratic. So you will probably have to accept this situation for the moment and choose the "best actually feasible" strategy— and feasible means having the highest probability to win in real life, not merely trying.
Personally, I’d even argue that it’s unethical to not vote for a candidate like Harris, just because the chances of getting stuff like ranked choice voting or educating voters done (which will then lead to you being able to realistically vote for others) is significantly higher when voting Democrats than… letting Trump win?
Notice that I don’t say you have to agree with anything else she stands for, you’re trying to achieve certain goals/get out of the very unfortunate current situation, and even a low chance of reaching that is infinitely better than none.

Because there's non-programmers in this community, if you aren't sure what this means but are too afraid to ask, it's a Regular Expression that better represents the terms "Linux" and "Unix."
Though if we're going to be that pedantic, it would be [nN][uiI][xX]$. That extra pipe wouldn't actually do anything in the last example, because regexp picks one character from the set by default.
And if we want to be really pedantic,
(?!nix)[nN][uI][xX]$Would be the most accurate.
Edit: based on comments, I think...
(nux|NIX)$...would be the best. Then you don't wind up with weird matches with things like
UNiX.
Yes, but you can really only do that with single characters, since your first example is an ordered group and the second is an unordered set in a capturing group. The equivalency drops off when you include more characters.
Plus, you can do things like [a-zA-Z], and you can't do that with the former example.
I would imagine there's a difference in computing overhead, too, but I have no idea which is more performant.
*nix isn't a Regular Expression, because the star operator * requires a preceding character or object to apply to. This is a wildcard for the shell style globbing, where a single star doesn't require a second object.
*nix is more likely to be a glob, therefore an accurate version would be *n?x
Edit: global -> glob dang autocorrect
All that effort, when you could've just called it LUNIX.
