Not authoritarian to its own ethnic population maybe... How exactly does that right of protest extend to the people it's occupying?

Surely you know/understand that: 1. The minimum standard, even in the West, is not high enough. 2. The resources spent on the vanity projects and luxuries of the ultra wealthy could raise that minimum standard instead.

You say, "you'd be more upset if you have nothing" but that is the actual reality for people actually living here. Our system is extremely fickle and contrary to popular belief, does not directly reward hard work with success. I know many people that work very hard jobs, that make a tiny fraction of what probably the lowest earners on this forum make.

I don't think anyone's seriously suggesting people be held accountable for bugs which are ultimately accidents. But if you knowingly sign off on, oversea, or are otherwise directly responsible for the construction of software that you know has a good chance of killing people, then yes, there should be consequences for that.

That is generally how suspicions work

No, it's a military term. Firing a cannon in anger for instance means firing at the enemy, rather than in training.

Listen to his actual words, not the reporting from the media: https://youtu.be/sYt4CxFfQUU?si=MpgD5PcFlB4gLzHj

You'll see the reporting is totally skewed (huge surprise). He identified certain low ranking military members being effectively thrown under the bus for small things, or things it's dubious they even did. While the Australian gov continues to protect the real psychos: special forces and the top brass.

If you actually listen to an interview with him and not reporting about him, you'll see him explain that he identified some scape goats for prosecution the Australian military we're trying to throw under the bus for minor issues or straight up things they didn't do, while letting the real psychos like special forces off the hook entirely.

Where can you read more on that matter of it answering your question rather than asking more?

I absolutely love smooth scrolling in the VTE terminals on Linux, but I can't find anything other than maybe the default terminal app (which I don't like) and iterm2 (which I don't like) that does it on Mac. As the author said, just about every terminal has a GH issue open asking for it with nothing but 'this would require rewriting a lot'
