First of all his leadership of Fateh and the PLO worked to concentrate power in the hands of his particular opportunist clique. He undermined the Palestinian liberation movement throughout it's history. He undermined, dominated, and excluded the radical sections of Fateh which rejected collaboration with Zionism, who threatened his rule. His agreement to exit Lebanon directly led to the massacre of thousands. His signing onto the oslo accords and his creation of the Palestinian authority with its security and police force built for direct collaboration with the Zionist state and repression of Palestinian resistance signed the west bank away to Israel. Yaser Arafat is the direct cause of decades upon decades of failure of the Palestinian liberation movement, and his legacy continues to haunt us to this very day with the traitorous Fateh party and Palestinian authority.

Yasser Arafat was an Israeli and American puppet who got the west bank into the situation that it's in in the first place. His insidious leadership sowed the seeds of the Palestinian liberation movement's destruction in the west bank and Lebanon, and Fateh's betrayal. Of course he committed the betrayal with his own hands in the end as well.

I actually got them from my windows partition. It was very easy. I copied them from C:\Windows\Fonts to the .fonts folder in my home directory.

with microsoft fonts installed I actually found that libreoffice displayed the docx file I wanted to edit better than onlyoffice.

 

I think I remember seeing it on this community. It was a darkly colored video. It was mostly focused on UX design, and the guy was talking about pretty innovative features with auto completion suggestions and undoing and things like that. Does anyone remember it or have a link? My search was fruitless.

 

Any ideas? Google lens results weren't helpful.

Anyone here struggle with trying to adjust brightness on Gnome in low light? At the low end, the steps are way too far apart, and at high brightness they're almost imperceptible. Every other operating system uses a brightness curve that better matches human perception.

I've improved the brightness control of the Gnome settings daemon, using a bezier curve based brightness curve. I've also written all the appropriate tests which it passes. With this implementation, the change in brightness between each step should be perceptually identical, providing more nuance at low brightness and faster control at high brightness.

Would you all like to see this become a part of Gnome? The MR is about 4 weeks old now and the maintainers haven't looked at it yet so I'm looking to gauge public interest and see if users want to see it merged.
