Ummmm, no. There are definite issues with Netanyahu being a right-wing xenophobe who is very much on the side of those in the illegal settlements on the West Bank who go out to assault people, but they are right-wing. Now, the Republicans in the USA, they follow the playbook used by the Nazi Party. First up, look for a race or ethnic group to demonize as "the enemy". The Nazi Party used Jews as the enemy, while here in the USA, they picked those with a Hispanic heritage. Shut down media that is critical of the administration...yep, Trump is using lawsuits to push that approach. Not quite there yet, but freedom of speech that gets shut down by lawsuits brought by the current administration in power...yea, Republicans are doing that.

Then, you pick one or two other groups that aren't fully demonized, but are turned into second class citizens. So, if you aren't a white Christian, then yea, the current administration is fully on board with assaults on them, so they secretly have no problem with assaults on those who are Jewish or Muslim, and they even join in on the anti-Islam talk during election season, so yea, Republicans are very much right-wing and sympathetic to the Nazi way of doing things, even if they are technically not Nazis.

So, who do you claim are leftists, Jews in Israel, or people who are against what the right-wing Netanyahu government has been doing? It's the same propaganda strategy as well, if you aren't with us, you are against us, and anyone against what the government is doing is against the COUNTRY. That's also from the Nazi playbook, but also used when the Communists gained power in Russia. Nothing these people are doing is "on the left", they use buzzwords to try to pretend to be left wing while pushing to the right.

Slightly off topic, but people don't hire on merit. The merit claim is cockypot. Merit gets your foot in the interview door, but social factors are what decides after that. I've been on hiring committees. One of the questions posed to the committee was, "Which candidate would you feel most comfortable working with for 40+ hours a week?" Let that question sink in.

Of course the candidate with a similar socioeconomic profile as your own would be preferred: somebody who likes the same food, watches the same movies and sports, worships the same deity, etc. It's not direct discrimination, but has discrimination as an end result.

Prove the study is flawed or STFU. Gut guesses are a dime a dozen.

Firefox still lists plugins as well as extensions when you go in there.

It may not be impressive, but it can be useful. If, by rapidly iterating over others' homework, you or your bot can prove X, then it can boost everyone's confidence of MY research that relies on X being true.

This is stupid racist dickhead bullshit because ICE has detained at least 500 citizens so far, and every person who was "deported" to a country they didn't come from was trafficked by ICE. Fuck your support for racism in pursuit of your support of a child rapist traitor. It also makes you a traitor.

As if you would know anything about feelings

Correction: ... Why are ISRAELI Jews etc etc

Netanyahu is currently doing what every expert says is a genocide in Gaza. Hamas was founded in response to a massacre in a mosque done by a Jewish "settler" assault-colonialist.

What is the death toll on each side?
Why are Jews protesting for the right to rape Palestinian hostages?

I'll stick with Firefox since we still have plugins available for that stuff.

When you need addons and plugins for certain types of content, that adds the potential for a security problem if you download the wrong browser extension. So, having it built in is going to be more secure.

JPEG-XL is a good format but I just realized yesterday that Google Docs on Android doesn't support inserting a webp image a decade after Google was pushing it. I had one from a website and needed to run it through imagemagick first.

Android supports it, all the apps using android image primitives supoort it, but one of Google's flagship apps still doesn't.

We used move much faster thirty years ago. If an app supported say GIF, PNM, and TGA when JPEG came out it was supported in the next release.

Hopefully this round will be better. It's probably a management problem ... maybe they will listen to their chatbot since they don't listen to their engineers.

We are pretty well down that path, but not QUITE there yet. Analytical thinking is definitely demonized by the stupid people who feel that religion should be more important than having actual skills that are useful.

The signal to noise ratio of what you find online has been going down since the late 1990s, so what is "relevant" having shifted to web sites that are full of complete garbage really doesn't matter as much. The most popular...yea, Webcrawler used to be relevant too.

Those who talk the way you do are generally clueless about what Communism really is, and on top of that, are Trump supporters. Remember, Trump has been pushing for government ownership and control of corporations, including government taking 10% of Intel. So, you complain about "Commies", and then go cheering when Trump has his own private army running around the country intimidating people and literally killing citizens while Trump also loves Russia, China, and North Korean leaders. Trump seems more like a commie than anything else.
