The good old "Think of the children" argument again... This is an attack on online privacy, again. I hate it.

It is the parents responsibility to keep their kids safe. We don't ban knives either just because a child could accidentally get hurt by one. And apart from that the regulations are not even well thought out, they will not stop a determined teenager with a lot of time on their hands.

Not OP, but it looks like they are using texlab for completion: https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/server_configurations.md#texlab

Apart from that there is https://github.com/lervag/vimtex with file type support, document compilation, etc. For grammar checking I use https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/server_configurations.md#ltex and for snippets https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip. See https://github.com/iurimateus/luasnip-latex-snippets.nvim for latex snippets and what you can do with them.

Some facts about the Gaza Strip:

  • Population: ~2.3 Million
  • Area: 365 km² (141 sq mi)
    • 41 km (25 mi) long, from 6 to 12 km (3.7 to 7.5 mi) wide
  • Population density: ~6300/km² 1

Gaza is very densely populated. In Gaza live as many people as in Houston. But Houston has an area of 1658.6 km² (640.4 sq mi). Thus Gaza has nearly five times the population density of Houston. New York City is the only city in the US with a population of more than a million and a higher population density than Gaza. 2 The tallest building in Palestine stands at 76.1 m (255 ft). 3

A little less than half of the population of Gaza is made up of children. 4

There are only three ("legal") ways in and out of Gaza:

  • Rafah Crossing into Egypt in the south
  • Kerem Shalom Crossing into Israel in the south
  • Erez Crossing into Israel in the north

Gaza has a very small port. It can only be used by small fisher boats. 5

Israel built a wall and fences around Gaza. 6

Considering that recent polls show the AfD at ~30% in some states, I doubt banning it will work. The only reasons it's gotten this big is abysmal politics by the current and former govt. I'm pretty sure banning it is only going to make things worse. And I am not at all convinced you can truly consider them ban worthy like actual Nazis, even though the current govt would very much like you to think this way.

Less regulations, it's easier to do "funny stuff" like gain of function research (frankly a euphemism for biological warfare research) in China than in the US. And it's not like the US is just funding the biolab, they have people on site and oversight as well.

Meanwhile in Germany:

Krieger wider Willen - Warrior against his [Olaf Scholz - Germany's chancellor] will

Putins blutige Spur - Putin's bloody path

Gefährlich schwach - dangerously weak

Putin ist ein Drache, der fressen muss - Putin is a dragon that needs to feed

Wie schwach ist Putin? - How weak is Putin?

Please explain your argument, I do not think it makes any sense but instead dangerously misjudges the Russian government/military.

Assuming they have a child-like mentality:

  • Why is there no massive bombardment of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure? Might as well do that for cities out of reach instead of blowing up a NPP.
  • Why didn't Putin order to have all Wagner soldiers killed after what happened a few days ago?

Looks like the US Navy was around Bornholm at the very time and place of the (alleged) sabotage: https://twitter.com/AZmilitary1/status/1574758898086694912

What a coincidence.

Meanwhile German mainstream media is already spewing out theories about Russian sabotage of their own pipeline and conveniently never mentions the actual prime suspect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS4O8rGRLf8&t=81s

Some context: Said MP is Sevim Dağdelen member of the party "Die Linke" (the Left Party) belonging to the opposition.

She calls the Ukrainian ambassador a "Nazi-Versteher" (literally Nazi understander meaning one who understands Nazis, a better translations is probably Nazi-Empathizer). Her reasoning is that the ambassador considers Stepan Bandera, a Nazi collaborator, a hero and is praising the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion for its bravery.

And this is how it sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4JD-3-UAzM (skip to 1:57 if you don't care about the rest).

Gladly taking videos with actual jumping back.

Sting - Russians (www.youtube.com)
 

In light of current events sadly this song has become more relevant than ever.

 

Do you know any good apps (+ server if applicable) for group voice chats over mobile data? I know there is mumble but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an iOS app.

AFAIK mumble offers excellent compression as the audio codec used is opus and probably does not require a lot of bandwidth. Are there alternatives or is there a usable app for iOS that I just have not found yet?

 

Recently I've tried to find some nice c-pop. So far rather unsuccessfully, everything I have found is incredibly boring/bland. It nearly always starts with a light piano intro and does not get any more exciting than that, there is little variation and if I skip through the song it often feels like I didn't skip a thing.

That's also why I started to search for a reason for this and found the linked quora question.

But perhaps someone here has found something recommendable within this wasteland, I'd be happy to hear about it.
