And that’s pretty much what Palestine Action did

Not quite.

three protestors from the group "stormed, scaled and occupied" an APPH drone factory in Runcorn.[33] Activists daubed red paint on the exterior, dismantled drone and aircraft machinery and destroyed windows

(...)

In January 2024, Palestine Action vandalised an office of the logistics company Kuehne + Nagel in Milton Keynes by smashing windows and spraying the building with paint

(...)

In May 2024, Edinburgh Palestine Action activists targeted a Leonardo factory in Crewe Toll (...) a spokesperson for the group saying, "In the early hours of Tuesday 28th May [2024], a group opened the box of cables, cut the internet wires, sprayed expanding foam inside the box

(...)

October 2024, Palestine Action targeted a factory in Bromborough, Wirral Peninsula, a producer of F-35 fighter plane (...) The action consisted of breaking through the roof and spraying red paint into cleanrooms, with a manager for Teledyne allegedly claiming "damage to the clean rooms could halt production for up to 12 months

They did proper sabotage as well.

In June 2025, members of Palestine Action gained access to RAF Brize Norton on electric scooters and used "repurposed fire extinguishers" to spray red paint into the engines of two Royal Air Force Airbus A330 MRTT refuelling planes

I think it's also worth noting that this is the stupidest possible way of protesting against Israel and pro-Palestine. There are SO MANY weapons suppliers all over the place... But more importantly, Israel can do fine with domestic production when fighting Hamas/Hezbollah. They need external supplies for fighting Iran, sure, but this was all before that happened.

Yeah, that account doesn't exist on Twitter.

I'm fairly new to Linux, so I might be missing something obvious, but I'm super confused by some of these.

Photos, the image viewer that works both on desktops and mobiles

Not available for either Android or iOS.

Merkuro was built with the idea to be usable on desktop, on mobile and everything in between

Not available for either Android or iOS.

So, what do they mean by "usable on (...) mobile"? Is it only for mobile Linux distros?

While I hate what's happening in the US right now as much as the next guy, let's not over-inflate the language used. It doesn't help anybody.

If we start calling what's currently there "ICE death camps" because 10 old people died across the whole country, people will get jaded, will start ignoring the cries for help as alarmist. And THEN the actual death camps will show up, but by that time nobody will be paying attention.

Exactly as it happened with Gaza.

It would be absolutely hilarious if Musk actually set up his own party, financed it all the way to the Congress, got offended because people didn't lick is arse deep enough, got kicked out for being annoying and accidentally created an actual pro-people alternative to all these corporate vampires.

It could

If it were done right. Just as Communism really really would end poverty and save the world and bring equality for all if juuuust done right.

Yeah! All it takes is a fundamental change in human nature where we eradicate greed. Funnily enough, that one little trick fixes both Capitalism AND Communism and allows us to finally reach utopia.
