    As far as I understand, text hyperlinks with concise, but clear descriptions are the best, at least according to these accessibility guidelines, though visually I think I like the bibliography style you showed more.

    EDIT: oh, I noticed that this is veering a bit off-topic, heh

    Not the same reason as Australia.

    Israel is able to participate due to being inside the European Broadcasting Area, which grants their broadcaster the right to join the EBU (European Broadcasting Union). The same applies to many other countries outside Europe, such as Morocco and Egypt, who could participate in Eurovision whenever they wanted (but haven't, except for Marocco who participated once in the 80's, when Israel was absent).

    That is to say, Israel's participation isn't special in that way — the ongoing genocide of course is a different matter which IMO should disqualify them.

    Australia, on the other hand, has a special arrangement that allows them to participate.

    I pay for Bitwarden to support them, which was an easy enough decision given how cheap it is. I don't think I've actually ever used any of the paid features.

    Tradeoffs. To me, an invasive anti-cheat would easily be more desirable than a continuous stream of cheaters who turn the game unplayable. That said, I'm glad I'm not interested in such games so I don't need to pick one, as those are both admittedly bad choices.

    My use of Gnome seems to fit very well with what the developers have in mind, because so far I have never missed the system tray during these months I've been running Gnome. In fact, while trying KDE again for a day, I found the system tray annoying and ugly even (but would probably get used to it quickly enough).

    I guess I do keep the windows open as you say, but it hasn't been an issue for me (I like to keep them in separate 'desktops' anyway so that they're always where I want them to be)
