Wayfire is not tiling right? I imagine its a similar reason people didn't use open box much. It's a non-tiling window system, and people who go that route tend to to full DE. But I am with you. I wonder why not many more people use them.
Doas is cool. I actually switched to it shortly before ditching both it and sudo, and deciding to rely on a users/groups system.
What kinds of opinions do you think are lacking? And what niche topics you wish lemmy had communities for?
Been using them for over a year now. I'm not a proud or loyal customer, but it's a very generous free tier and I haven't regretted it.
Most middle Eastern countries do not have arms trade with Israel. This places them morally ahead of Turkey.
My speculation is that their main goal was to thwart the teams potential efforts emulating the next Nintendo console. It is likely going to be close enough to the switch that the same team will have an easy time emulating it. Not anymore.
These polls are misleading because they ignore many factors. Yes, it's true middle easterners are less likely to proclaim support for LGBT (and that's what the link you provided prices). In Europe (and particularly Eastern Europe), there's the issue of rampant hate violence against LGBT, often even by their own family. This is pretty rare in the middle east. I would consider this a more important issue than that poll reveals.
This isn't to say the middle east is an LGBT paradise in any sense at all. I still acknowledge it is a homophobic place. Those who are publicly LGBT will unfortunately face rejection and ostracision by society, and most LGBT only keep it secret except to trusted friends and family. Moreover, some middle Eastern governments go after LGBT activists and influencers. I think this doesn't happen much in Eastern Europe anymore (I didn't check every country so I may have missed some).
In the end, it's not all black and white. Two homophobic nations may still handle and express their homophobia differently, and homophobia may not always be the issue on top of mind. The LGBT cause is not something that's top of mind in the middle east like it is in the west, and in the times where it does come up, it is often about a stupid conspiracy theory of the west trying to force LGBT on them, rather than something internal.
Given that Hungary literally bs outwardly said "we don't like euro vision because it's too gay" and Arabs said "because it harbors a genocidal state", then the evidence is clear. You people have this notion that only Arabs are exceptionally homophobic. What more does Hungary have to do for you to stop Arab exceptionalism?
Sorry, I realize I misunderstood now. Non native speaker here 😅
So based on your comment, Arab and north African nations didn't refuse participating because it's gay. It's because the organization harborsca genocidal entity (Israel).
they would be ok with a song like this?
Yeah I don't see the issue and I'm an Arab myself. There's homophobia in our land, but I'm not sure why you people act like we're the only exceptionally homophobic place on earth. I sense its a projection of how your nations handled homophobia at its peak. Arab nations are unlikely to have a song like this of their own, but they won't boycott the competition for it.
most of them would still abstain from Eurovision because of the lgbtq.
Wrong and you have nothing to prove this :)
In many of these countries, women arent even allowed to wear a miniskirt
Wrong. There's probably like one or two countries that do this (depending on how far east you are including). Saudi Arabia is the notable one (the state created by Britain), and Iran if you go that far east.
Turkey
Hungary
Not Arab or north African.
I did specifically talk about invading another member state
Yes, I noticed from the very beginning. That is exactly the hypocrisy I was addressing. :) humanity and ethics must not stop at member states. I actually did not know Libya was a member either until you mentioned it (and googled the date).
Ahh, sorry I forgot the part that humanity and ethics end at member states. I totally wouldn't expect a Euro fan to make that assertion :)
joined only after fall of Gaddafi
Wrong. 1974.
Most dont participate because Eurovision is gay as fuck and these countries dont like that.
