Goodram seems to be the best option for external hard drives, as Swissbit seems to lean more towards smaller form factors. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm not entirely set on whether I'll get HDD or SSD (I only need a couple of TB), so I'll check them out.

Yeah, I guess avoiding the US is probably the best I can do here.

Maybe Verbatim (edit: and Synology) could be a good option - they're Taiwanese, so at least it would somewhat align with my geopolitical positioning. :)

I think that would be most people these days.

Could also be two separate things? I have a) dumped Windows and b) installed Lineage.

We're outsourcing thinking to a bullshit generator controlled by mostly American mega-corporations who have repeatedly demonstrated that they want to do us harm, burning through scarce resources and rendering creative humans robbed and unemployed in the process.

What's not to hate.

It is 2025, and the KDE project is still using the glory of the desktop cube to appeal to Windows users.

The desktop cube has been our single most powerful tool on the path to world domination.

Same. If FP6 has a smaller form factor and an amazing camera I will be very annoyed.

But in the US the genocide was largely carried out by random people shooting folks for fun from their train wagons, in Israel it's carried out by the professionally organized army of an allegedly democratic nation. Very different.

Even when the US army was directly involved (no small degree, especially if you don't accept Native American warriors as military targets), its actions were not driven by Democratic institutions. Sure, people voted for leaders who supported genocide, but the genocide was not the direct result of democratic institutions malfunctioning. In Israel it is.

Oh, I have no doubt the Daily Mail wanted Thunberg dead long before she spoke out against Israel.

They're far beyond that point. Their only concern right now is to finish their genocide before they're stopped.

Yes, it's not that genocide has never happened in democracies. But in the US, democratic institutions were not the driving factors behind the genocide: you did not have actors locked in to their genocidal actions due to the democratic institutions. Democracy and genocide in America were two largely separate things.

My idea here is that while the genocides on Native Americans were genocides in a democracy, Israel's genocide can be categorized as a genocide by democracy. It is made possible, or at the very least worse, by democratic institutions (however flawed).

It's just a shower thought really, I might obviously be wrong. But I have a fairly good overview of the history of genocide and I am fairly certain this one is unique in this regard.
