    I personally didn't interpret "mushroom gobbler" as a homophobic slur. I thought OP was alluding to the fact that she has about as much lucidity as someone who's high on mushrooms.

    I could be wrong though, I'm not American.

    The United states holocaust museum has a pretty good 'plain text' definition of genocide, which perfectly captures what the Israelis are trying to do to the Palestinians as genocide.

    The article also has some useful 'plain text' descriptions of ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, mass atrocities, mass killing and war crimes.

    https://www.ushmm.org/genocide-prevention/learn-about-genocide-and-other-mass-atrocities/definitions

    The astute reader will notice that the Israelis are actually guilty of all of these mass atrocities as part of their attempts to genocide the Palestinians.

    Genocide is defined as any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.

    The acts are:

    • Killing members of the group.
    • Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group.
    • Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.
    • Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.
    • Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

    Except for perhaps the last point, there's no person that could argue that Israel has not perpetrated these acts against the Palestinians.

    All that leaves then is the intent aspect of genocide.

    The Israelis are very open about their desire to destroy Palestine. Law4palestine has a collection for quotes from current and former legislators which capture their genocidal intent:

    If you don't feel like reading through that, here's an excellent summary of other evidence of Israel's genocidal intent from Jewish Currents:

    *Edit: added the link to the legislators list. Left the decision makers list as it just serves to hammer the point home

    You've actually got it backwards. The ranking algorithm (rankdex) developed by one of the engineers that founded Baidu was published in 1996, two years before pagerank. Some of Google's early patents actually cite the rankdex algo.

    Not like it matters here

    You're putting a lot of faith in whoever packages the 'distro'.

    Obviously you have the same problem with trusting FOSS software distributions, but it's mitigated by things like Linus' Law and reproducible builds.

    That being said, I personally use tiny11 VMs for certain non-critical things at home and work. I'd never use it for anything security related, or as my main OS, as there is a non-negligible chance that it's compromised (and there's basically no way of knowing).

    I live in a country with a nominally 'labor' government that has stood in the way of unions protesting the genocide in Gaza and is actively working to suppress union led protests.

    We in the west are in for a very rude shock in the coming years. Today it's clamping down on protests for Palestine, tomorrow its teargas and truncheons for strikers.

    A lot of people don't understand that if we don't stand up for the Palestinians, we won't have a snowballs chance when it comes to seriously protesting our own governments and the corporations that control them.
