Right, the alawites were oppressed when they had minority rule just like how the Afrikaners were oppressed in apartheid South Africa. We’ll have to wait and see. Good talking to you.

Until you answer “what more do you want” I’m assuming you want al-Julani to personally gather up the perpetratora and lead them all in singing Kumbayah.

Alawites weren’t marginalized under Assad. That’s why there’s a strong pro-assad alawite faction doing things like ambushing government troops. In fact, Assad’s family was alawite and he put alawites in leadership positions in the government and military, in fact.
How much reading have you done outside of the OP article and maybe one or two others in the mainstream media? Did you even realize the regime was collapsing before it was over? I ask because I really think you’re worse informed than I am
keep an open mind and watch him govern
That’s what I’ve been doing, and what the author here seemingly hasn’t
The ones in Iraq? Can’t fault him for that
doing nothing to stop massacres of Christians and alawites
“On March 10, al-Sharaa condemned the recent mass killings of Alawite Muslims… He pledged to hold all perpetrators accountable, including those within his own ranks”
What more do you want? This is after alawite assadist insurgents ambushed government troops, by the way. This is all from Wikipedia.
Of course he’s unelected, he just ousted the old boss. They’re working with an interim government. They only just got around to parliamentary elections. If they don’t hold presidential elections within their five year target you can come back and make me eat crow.
And by the way, the majority of the “those poor alawites” articles I saw while looking this up were from Israeli publications. So consider who you’re shoulder to shoulder with on this.

World News@lemmy.world•The Whitewashing of Ahmed al-SharaaEnglish
107·1 month agoAtrocious article. Ridiculously biased wording: Al-Julani “mutated”. He “shed” his old clothes.
As for content, basically fuck all. “He’s a sectarian dictator and he’s doing familial nepotism.” “Iran doesn’t like him for sectarian reasons.” How about actually analyze his policies and statements? From everything I’ve read he’s interested in a stable, secular, Democratic Syria and is courting foreign recognition and investment.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•We’re announcing the 2.12.1 minor patch release of #LabPlot with small improvements and bug fixes. :boost_love: 🚀
2·4 months agoMy work revolves around taking tons of data with a python script, then processing it and generating graphs in another script. E.g. I measure y as I modify v, p, s, and f. And then at each v, p, and s, I look at y vs. f and extract some value k, then look at k vs s at each v, p and extract a j, then plot j vs v and p.
How would labplot fit into this? I’ve been thinking about what the next change in my plotting would be, and I’ve considered either adding on-click functionality to my existing script so I can click a v, p, j point to see the k vs s graph that gave that j; or possibly using some library that gives some web-browser based control of graphing. But if labplot seems well suited to this I can also add it into the contenders

How do you like the sleep tracking? Is it fairly accurate? I tried a cheap Colmi ring and the sleep data was all over the place, registering sleep when I had insomnia and occasionally awake when I was asleep
I second this. The initial setup is the hard part. Give it a couple days. The arch wiki is the best resource in the whole Linux ecosystem in my opinion. If that’s the long manual you were looking at for installing steam, know that 90% of it is info on strange edge cases and all a typical user will need to do is
sudo pacman -Syuthensudo pacman -S steam(I forgot you have to enable the multilib repository if you haven’t already. You seem smart, you’ll find the info in the wiki)A couple times a year or so something will break after an update. When that happens
- Google if anyone else has posted your exact problem
- See if chatgpt knows anything
- Humbly post in the arch user forum
One of those will solve it. Good luck!
