That doesn't even make sense. I understand everyone's emotions are high, and what is happening is truly tragic, but can we at least agree on some common logical foundation?

People trying to help and making the situation worse does not help, at all. Putting soothing your own feelings above the pragmatic requirements to solve the situation does not help

This is why politicians are universally hated, but still required

If we were to be devils advocates for a second here.. if you knew that the terrorists that you're trying to wipe out would steal any fuel you send in, but everyone keeps telling you to do it anyway, would you send 9000 litres and resupply your adversary or would you send a few hundred litres and record what happens to make a point?

I know that logseq is working on real time collaboration, and they have docs pages on how to share across devices and users without any centralisation or touching their servers

I don't think so no. You've really gotta put some force into it to create one

Someone call 112 (/911) There has been a massacre over here

Mate, you're the one who said "everybody". I'm glad to see I have convinced you to step off of that soapbox and see reality a bit more

Can you try to actually read properly what I wrote?! I'm not saying that you, a Linux maximalist, can't care about both issues in the middle East and your open source operating system. I'm saying that there are plenty of people who have bigger issues (such as the being bombed) to have space to care about Linux

Your statements that everyone must care about Linux otherwise they don't care about property rights etc is completely misguided

Maybe there are rights more immediately important to people than the vague, long term rights associated with an open source operating system for their computer?

"everybody ought to care about Linux" - you, a few minutes ago. I'm taking your statement to the extreme to show how ridiculous it is

Maybe Palestinian children shouldn't need to care about Linux. Maybe there are also lots of other people who shouldn't need to care about Linux. My point was to make you see outside of your world

I've read a lot of disturbing stuff on the internet but those descriptions of what the monkeys endured made me feel really uncomfortable

Please enlighten me how Linux will save Palestinian children from being bombed

.. Just to put your little world in context of the big world outside the window
