  • Your half right. It’s not really the OS’s fault but rather the fault of the browsers and app-frameworks that use the browser in the background (electron). Because neither Firefox nor chrome have this feature implemented for Linux. The official Discord client doesn’t do it either but other ones such as Sunroof do. It’s possible that at least one Matrix client has learnt to share the screen with sound on Linux but I don’t know of any (I also don’t use Matrix a lot so don’t pay too much attention to my experience on that)














  • I like the term “extermination” which the ICC’s chief prosecutor used in his charging document against Biden.

    Genocide requires intent. There is at least the possibility that Israel is merely showing careless disregard and willful ignorance towards Palestinian lifes. That doesn’t make a practical difference, of course. The fact that Israel is maybe? not as racist as they could be, doesn’t help all the dead or starving civilians.

    That’s why I like the term extermination. It’s precise but doesn’t require intent. It doesn’t imply that Israels interest in defeating Hamas is merely a smokescreen (for the record: I don’t think Hamas can be defeated militarily, but I understand the interest).

    And it does all that without being a euphemism.





  • That’s a common misconception. German law actually allows the public display of swastikas in certain, so called socially adequate (that’s an actual legal term), situations. Satire is one of those. If anyone can see that you are making fun of Nazis it’s allowed. Another of those adequate uses is in art. The use in video games used to be prohibited for reasons that are to complicated to explain in this comment (involving an actual Nazi and a pirated copy of the game Wolfenstein 3D) but now they are counted as art as well so it’s fine there as well.
