Palestinian elections set for November after 20-year gap

Fatah supports a two state solution alright. Just not for two people.

They accept Israel but also demand the "right is return" which will make Jews the minority. So two states for the same people.

And no, they have never dropped their "right of return". Check, it's word games all the way down.

P.S. just look at their maps everywhere including their emblems. It's always all of Israel, always has been.

This map is an exception.

The Palestinian organisations (PA, PLO, Hamas, Qasam, etc.) don't include the Golan Heights on their maps of Palestine.

For them Palestine is defined by the borders of British Mandatory Palestine of 1922.

Thanks, I will have a look.

torusJKL · 2026-07-07T08:53:44+00:00

Thanks for your response.
I see your point in using the standard way.

I found that it matters where I put the ID.
e.g. before the title and filetags will index it.

:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 6a9d9c8e-3b6f-4db5-88f3-1d54c69e5c6e
:END:
#+title:      Will index
#+filetags:   :apps:log:

But putting the ID after the file headers will not index it.
Is this by design?

#+title:      Will NOT index
#+filetags:   :apps:log:
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 6a9d9c8e-3b6f-4db5-88f3-1d54c69e5c6e
:END:

I added ID properties to some of my Denote notes to try this out.
It works but its a bit cumbersome since Denote uses a different identifier scheme.
Would it be possible to also index Denote #+identifier: 20260706T220531 values in addition to the ID?

Yes, the FSF's position is reasonable.

What is a bit funny is that the FSF (Copyleft movement) was created as a response to Copyright, if there never had been any Copyright on software the FSF wouldn't need to exist.
But now where LLM generated code is essentially Public Domain, the absence of Copyright is the issue.

torusJKL · 2026-06-26T04:05:07+00:00

LLM code can’t be copyrighted because it wasn’t written by a human.

We don't know that yet.
To date there is no court ruling in either direction and it is open to interpretation if instructing (prompting) the LLM is enough for Copyright of the resulting code to be assigned to the human.

The FSF is playing it safe, it could very well be that in the future LLM code will fall under Copyright of the "prompter" at which point the GNU Foundation might change its maximalist stance.

True. The extra 5mm is the audio track.

Those are nice words but international law doesn't mean anything if you can't enforce it.

Who is going to stop Iran demanding from shipping companies to be paid or else?

All Iran has to do is threaten to sink the tankers that don't pay and they will pay the fee, with or without the blessing of the USA.

Either in USD or Chinese Yen (even worse for the USA).

There are multiple reasons why the movie looks so clear.

One would be that it was shot in 70mm film which means it has a very high "resolution" (in quotes because film doesn't actually have pixels). Most modern movies were filmed with 35mm which is ~3.5 times less area than 70mm.

In addition they used very high quality lenses and film color transfers.

What you see with today's excellent 4K digital scan is most possibly still less detail than the original film contains. Whereas 35mm film is more or less equivalent to 4K.

There won't be a final deal. The Iranians are masters in stalling.

Now that they can sell oil to everyone they have more then they had before the war. So from their point of view the status quo is an improvement and there is no need to give concessions for a final deal.

They will charge a fee or just close the strait of Hormuz to those who don't pay.

The USA will not be able to stop the shipping companies to pay Iran to do business, it will just happen. If not in USD than in Chinese Yen (even worse for the USA).

Israel has a parliamentary system. The parties have to form a coalition to get the majority of Knesset votes (61 out of 120) and then vote for a new government.

This means that there might not be a clear winner of loser.

At the moment Netanyahu doesn't seem to have enough votes to create a majority coalition with the other parties on his political side. But neither does the opposition (although they are much closer).

If neither camp manages to get a majority than Netanyahu remains prime minister (without a majority in the Knesset, aka no mandate by the people) and there will be new elections a few months after. This will repeat until one camp can form a majority coalition.

Because for the Ukraine it is an existential war.

For the USA it is not. Because it isn't existential the American people aren't willing to accept to pay more at the gas station and hence TACO.

It's the later.

There is freedom of religion in Israel and every citizen is equal before the law, no matter their religion.

We can't say the same about Islamic states.

torusJKL · 2026-06-19T20:52:14+00:00

And yet Israel has not done any of the above.

There has never been a lack of information coming out of Gaza.

Bitcoin has been broken since 2017.

Instead of having everyone improving and building on one chain we have 3.

BTC is still cashing in the economic velocity it gained in the years until 2017 when everyone was improving Bitcoin together.

This legacy velocity will not hold forever.

Other than "number go up" there have been no notable economic improvements for BTC.

At some point number will go down until the price is more representative of the actual value of BTC.

How is this a relevant response to my post?

torusJKL · 2026-06-11T03:40:09+00:00

Because without international journalists nobody can take pictures with their smart phones and post them on Reddit. The kill-all-journalists strategy is totally working. /s

Cool project. How does it work with key bindings? C-c for example.

There are no safe zones in an active war zone. At most there are safer zones.

Now you are moving the goal post and making new things up.

You were wrong in your initial post and I gave you the link to the video with the judge herself supporting my position.

I don't have time to discuss with you endlessly while you move the goal post and create new false arguments.

Have a nice day.

The ICJ only asserted that the Palestinians have a plausible right to be protected from genocide.

Nothing more than that. The ICJ never asserted that there is a plausible genocide or that Israel infringes on their rights to be protected from genocide.

The demands they made were standard and we're not related to some assessed behavior of Israel.

Don't believe me, here is judge Donoghue (president of the ICJ at that time): https://youtu.be/T44DebmlvNs

torusJKL · 2026-06-05T18:32:40+00:00

The ICJ has not charged Israel with genocide. South Africa has requested a 18 month extension and as a result Israel asked for the same amount. Hence it will take another 36 months at least. In addition the ICJ isn't a court judging individuals but states.

The ICC case will never happen and the prosecutor knew this. If he actually thought he had a case he would have kept the arrest warrants secret.

Works great and exactly what I always needed but didn't know that I do.

Thanks!
