You have linked to all kinds of videos that can only be described as malicious propaganda, and yes, that sadly includes the Amnesty ones. A few years ago that org drifted in a strange direction. But these videos try to manipulate you.

Israel was accused when it build a wall towards Gaza, but in the end it protected from suicide attacks of brainwashed children that were instrumentalized by a fundamentalist genocidal cult. A lot of Palestinians did work in Israel, given th

That is wrong. There were conflicts before, the Hebron massacre (1929) for example. There was an Arab nationalism and the Mufti of Jerusalem met with Hitler and planned a middle-eastern Holocaust. Also, Jews were expelled from surrounding n

The arguments about woke being correct are quite recently and often framed in a way it reminds you of groups like johovas witnesses or student fellowships. I disagree with equality of outcome being the same as equality of opportunity. Some

If you want precise movement, I always recommend an external encoder, even if the motor itself already has one. You probably use some form of transmission and there is always some transmission tolerance. Also a good engineering rule is to h

Not all men is a sensible argument because it condemns generalization, a foundational principle of humanism. There is no spirit of argument, your axioms are lacking. Either you can form an argument without generalization or it is very weak.

Woke ideas also collide with general humanism. "I don't see color" is an example here. But the ideas of humanism are better and woke people often dislike that their ideas get rejected. Still, people were made fun off on TV fo

I don't think you can reframe that in a way if you introduce policies that treat people differently. And I don't believe people feel they lose rights as long as they are treated equally. As I said, rulebook of toxic middle managem

They do have that right as long as they do not sabotage the integrity of the system. Personally I would quickly use other software developers and banks. Competition would sort that out quickly. Today banks don't want to be liable for u

I think a definition would exclude µC, dsps asics, fpga, etc. While most of those have the ability to program themselves, not all programs support such features. And for external programming you need programming devices who would also need

Because it isn't at all reasonable. There is no argument to not allow root access. You don't have to use it, perhaps most users would be safer with a conventional user account, but it is not reasonable to outright deny full system

You absolutely can host your own mail server. Or use one of your IT partner of choice. Out business still has an exchange. Today you have to jump through some hurdles with SPIF/DKIM, but it is still very possible.
