I think it's still somewhat experimental, as it's pretty hard to do given how many shortcuts there are, and some being different in different languages. So not every shortcut you might be interested in might be customisable already. Still bound to be helpful though.

Sounds like KDE is also doing a lot of work that will be helpful on phones, nice!

Didn't read to me like OP was arguing for a single alternative.

Is het wenselijk dat er mensen mee helpen

Dat zou zeker wenselijk zijn, maar zijn die mensen ook beschikbaar? Naast beperkt talent heb ik er ook zeker niet de tijd/motivatie voor. Naast dat het vervolgens /u/tedvdb ook weer tijd zou kosten om een structuur op te zetten waarin anderen kunnen bijdragen.

Having leverage doesn't mean that it doesn't come at a cost to yourself. Heck, if it didn't come at a cost, it would probably have happened already. The reason people are focusing so much on Israel's actions in Gaza, is that they think we should be making that sacrifice now that we have that option, which we don't have in many other conflicts.

Note also that the call isn't to use the leverage to pressure Israel into unconditional surrender, but it can be used to pressure them into not committing war crimes, or to stop suppressing Palestinians on the West Bank.

Is trade not one end receiving money? Is it not leverage that we could stop that trade?

I'm not even reading the article, this is such a dumb premise that comes up every time. If Europe was forced to compete as a single nation, we'd have a lot fewer participants. And then there's just the fact that counting medals is kinda dumb anyway, since some sports have may more medals than others - a country that specialises in ice skating will often be good at many types of it, be it 500m, 1000m, etc.

Heh, are you saying relations with Israel are worse than those with Hamas? And which of those two (note: that's Israel and Hamas, not "Arab territories") is at the receiving end of most European money?

The main thing about Israel/Palestine is that Europe (and especially the US) has significant leverage over one of the parties, which gives it more responsibility for its transgressions.

Wait, what word? Culture?

Note that I wasn't talking about European culture specifically, or any specific culture, for that matter. Just that your environment shaped you, and thus you can feel some pride for what that environment also begat. Pride needn't be reserved for the extreme right.

The culture that made that happen also played a role in making you who you are. It's OK to be proud of that.

(And likewise, it's good to correct for how your culture influenced you in ways that you aren't proud of. For example, it took me a long time to realise what Black Peter must look like from the outside.)
