„The exports show how Israel is pursuing new markets as its forces battle on multiple fronts.
Israel sold more weapons to other countries in 2024 than ever, government officials said on Wednesday, even as it fought on multiple fronts in the longest war in its history.
Israeli producers signed contracts to export about $14.8 billion in weapons last year (…).“
#Palestine / IDF promotes officer accused of ordering soldiers to shoot Gazans carrying white flag
An IDF officer was promoted to battalion commander despite a pending decision on whether to investigate reports that he ordered soldiers to shoot two #Gazans carrying a white flag in 2024. Soldiers reported the officer's "shoot-to-kill" order, which was countermanded by another officer.
Haim Har-Zahav, a soldier who wrote an op-ed in #Haaretz about an incident he witnessed in 2024 along the Netzarim corridor, discussed an incident where an officer ordered soldiers to shoot two Gazans carrying a white flag. He highlighted that the order was disregarded because it was recognized as manifestly illegal, which, to him, demonstrated the value of the IDF's ethical code. However, he also emphasized that the lives of Palestinians often depend on the individual ethical standards of the commanders on the ground, leading to inconsistent and potentially deadly outcomes.
[…] "The lives of the Palestinians in Gaza depend first and foremost on the private and personal ethical code of the commanders on the ground... Those who want to kill Arabs, because they are Arabs, will kill Arabs. No one will ask them questions, and no one will investigate or punish them. Those who want to maintain their humanity will do so, but will also know that their replacements in the Gaza Strip might not share the same moral and ethical code. Consequently, the person who survived thanks to a decision made by one officer will die of a command given by the next. If not tomorrow, then the next day"
The IDF stated the incident is under investigation.

The Indian governmental incursion must've been part of the original script as all the actors were perfectly lined up and ready to go right at the start.
So per script we're also supposed to be in an entirely different place where novelty injections are now accepted as perfectly normal and fine. Everyone has already come to accept that a deadly invisible pathogen gone 'endemic' so obviously we're going to need plenty of government help going forward willingly or unwilling. vaxpass and digital id been in place for several years and BTC is everyone's favourite novelty currency.
That's the world in which all this was supposed to have happened. But it's not so obviously not an ideal situation for the people running this show. They're essentially just trying out the new arrangement to see how well it goes down. So far not many complaining which means the fluoride supplement is working a treat.

no, don't tell how to do this. i am ranting. you can't "fix" it.
apple just continues to suck worse and worse. they have apparently fired anyone who has ever had any expertise in UI/UX.
i now have to use the *search* function in the control panel to find the printer. really?
i have used apple since the mac+ finder/system days, unix for years, windows since 3.11. i have suffered through all sorts of system control panels, good and bad.
the current apple OS is amongst the worst.
i can only imagine what will happen as more and more folks with what little UI/UX they still have are replaced with AI.
i truly pity anyone that needs actual accessibility features.
grrr....
ah, server names. ;)
so many schemes. simpsons. south park. tolkien. creatures that fought godzilla (winning name "bambi"). worst was "greek liturgical terms".
one of my first jobs had a test lab and the engineers kept renaming the servers constantly, breaking other engineer scripts, etc.
the reason i now know the nato phonetic alphabet was that the engineering director got tired of this and decreed that we'd name all servers from said alphabet in order, starting with alpha. we got up to tango before i changed jobs.
There are several reasons why I hesitate to identify as a Christian. One of the big ones is because I’m not entirely sure I believe in the existence of God, or any gods. Thus far, my approach has been to take Pascal’s wager, but that’s not a viable long-term solution to the problem.
The other big one is, well, other Christians.
I once saw a bumper sticker that read, “Jesus, save me from your followers.” At the time, I was a far more committed Christian, and I found myself offended at the notion. But now? I watch in horror as white evangelicals and conservative Catholics embrace Donald Trump, MAGA, and the moral rot they represent. Consider Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, whose response to the potential Medicare/Medicaid cuts was, “We’re all going to die.” Later, she followed up with, “For those who would like to see eternal and everlasting life, I encourage you to embrace my lord and savior, Jesus Christ.”
With no due respect, senator, that’s not the Jesus I read about in the Gospel. The Jesus I read about in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (yes, I read all four in their entirety) repeatedly stressed the importance of loving your neighbor. (And there’s a preponderance of evidence that by neighbor, Jesus meant EVERYONE, not just the people you like/love. See Matthew 5:46-48 for one example.) He even referred to it as the greatest commandment. Evangelicals love to quote John 3:16, but maybe they should spend more time with John 13:34-35: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this, all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Rev. Dr. William Barber II understood the assignment. That’s why he’s been protesting and praying in the Capitol Rotunda, and why he’s doing everything in his power to stop Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill”. He rightly points out that there’s nothing Christian about the bill, which takes from the poor and gives to the rich, in clear violation of Matthew 6:24: “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”

Movie night..... The Agenda.... full documentary....
Starring our favourites, Catherine Austin Fitts, Alex Newman, Ivor Cummins, Tess Lawrie, James Roguski, Meryl Nass, Whitney Webb, AND Nick Hudson....
The Agenda: Their Vision | Your Future is a feature-length independent documentary produced by Mark Sharman; former UK broadcasting executive at ITV and Sky (formerly BSkyB).
In fiction and fact, there have always been people and organisations with ambitions to control the world. And now the oligarchs who pull the strings of finance and power finally have the tools to achieve their global objectives; omnipresent surveillance, artificial intelligence, digital currency and ultimately digital identities. The potential for social control of our lives and minds is alarmingly real.
The plan has been decades in the making and has seen infiltration of Governments, local councils, big business, civil society, the media and, crucially, education. A ceaseless push for a new reality, echoing Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, or George Orwell’s 1984.
The Agenda: Their Vision, Your Future examines the digital prison which awaits us if we do not push back right now. How your food, energy, money, travel and even your access to the internet could be limited and controlled; how financial power is strangling democracy and how global institutions like the World Health Organisation are commandeered to champion ideological and fiscal objectives.
The centrepiece is man-made climate change and with it, the race to Net Zero. Both are encapsulated in the United Nations and its Agenda 2030. A force for good? Or “a blank cheque for totalitarian global control”?
The Agenda presents expert views from the UK, the USA and Europe.

Welcome to Lemmy.zip
Lemmy is a federated social link aggregation and discussion platform. It’s being developed by the Lemmy devs
What does federation mean?
It means Lemmy is using a protocol (Activitypub) which makes it possible for all Lemmy servers to interact with each other.
Think of it a bit like email - you send a message from your gmail account to your friend's outlook account. You're on different servers, but all your messages are shared between you both.
Lemmy.zip is a Lemmy server aimed at welcoming all and providing a space for all types of topics and discussions, with maybe a slant towards technology and all things related. We are one of the many servers hosting the Lemmy software.
Your feed may look relatively empty when you first join, with just the Lemmy.zip posts available. This is because by default your view is set to "Local". You can use the options at the top of your feed to see more posts.
"Subscribed" will show you the communities you have subscribed to."Local" will show just posts from communities that are local to Lemmy.zip."All" will show posts from all communities that have been subscribed to by members of Lemmy.zip from across all servers.You can also sort your feed by different options, such as "Active", "Hot", and "New".
I fully recommend "Hot" for a good turnover of posts in your feed.
You can set the default Sort and Type in your user settings to your taste.
Show Read Posts is turned ON!To help new users settle in to Lemmy, we've added some of what we call "Default Blocks" to your account. These are instances where the content is quite graphic (NSFW) or very political in nature. You are free to remove these whenever you want. Go to your account settings (or click here) and go to the "blocks tab". This is a list of all the blocks you have in place for users, communities, and for instances. You'll see there are already a few instances listed. If you wish to remove these blocks, click the little X next to their names, and you'll be able to interact with them.
You can add these blocks back at any time you like. (In fact, we encourage you to tailor your feed to your preference as much as possible!)
We are now a NSFW enabled instance, which means there may be NSFW content in the Local and All categories if you leave NSFW enabled in your account. If you do not wish to view NSFW content make sure you toggle off Show NSFW content under your Settings.
Another option is to select “Block Community” from the sidebar, when on the specific community. Once you have done that you will never see it again!
In the top menu, you’ll see the search icon. There, you can search for posts, communities etc. You can just enter a search-word and it will find the Post-titles, post-content, communities etc containing that word that the server knows of. So any content any user of this server ever interacted with.
You can also search for a community by it’s link, e.g. !lemmy@lemmy.ml or its URL, e.g. https://lemmy@lemmy.ml/. Even if the server hasn’t ever seen that community, it will look it up remotely. Sometimes it takes some time for it to fetch the info (and displays ‘No results’ meanwhile…) so just be patient and search a second time after a few seconds. Please note search time may be increase if remote servers are experiencing high loads.
For a more in depth list of remote communities, you can visit browse.feddit.de or Lemmyverse search. From there you can copy your chosen communities URL and search for it in Lemmy.zip.
You can subscribe to any community on another server and post/comment on that server, all from this instance. Once you've subscribed, this server will continue to pull the latest content from that community through to here.
The subscribe button is on the top right of the community. Click this will federate Lemmy.zip with that community.
You can create a community on this server too (there is no restriction on creating communities on Lemmy.zip, unlike some other instances) and anyone else will be able to subscribe to your community.
You can see all of the instances we've federated with by going here or clicking instances in the footer of the webpage.
Creating a community?
Once you've created your community, you can advertise it via a couple of different communities dedicated to sharing new communties.
There is no problem with having similar communities across instances, as each can host its own discussions, but it may be a good idea to search for a community before creating it as you may find a group that has already done some of the legwork for you.
While this instance is primarily focussed around game and tech related communities, please don't feel restricted to that. Any topic is fine (and encouraged!) as long as it adheres to the general instance rules.
On Lemmy.zip, anyone can create a Community and become its moderator by default. It takes very little effort to create but requires a little bit of commitment to looking after it. You can always choose to remove yourself as moderator (and ideally hand it off to someone else) or delete it completely if needed.
Lemmy.zip will never run ads, sell user data, or generate income in a way that isn't clear and agreed by the community.
Therefore if you're enjoying using Lemmy.zip please consider a small donation to help us keep going for the longer term.
You can find out more information or see who has been kind enough to donate by clicking here!
The Admins for Lemmy.zip are as follows:
You can see mod actions via the this link or by clicking modlog at the bottom of the page.
We have a dedicated mobile/tablet site for those who don't want to download an app. This is a webapp and can be saved to your phone's home screen for easy access.
You can navigate to this site by going to m.lemmy.zip
If you'd prefer a native app, a full list of apps for every platform can be found by clicking here.
An alternative website is also here, where you can filter by platform or type: lemmyapps.netlify.app/
These should all work with Lemmy.zip without any issues.
Currently there are no restrictions on joining this server. Anyone is free to join as long as they continue to follow the rules in the sidebar.
Please interact with Lemmy after you've joined. The more interactions, the better Lemmy will be (plus, it helps out Lemmy.zip too!)
If you ever feel you need help or support while on Lemmy.zip, or you've seen something that isn't right or makes you feel uncomfortable, you can send Sami or Demigodrick a message and we will confidentially help. We both have secure messaging links in our profile if you'd rather message with encryption, or you can send an email to hello@lemmy.zip and we'll respond that way. We're always here to help.
Thank you for joining Lemmy.zip. Please remember, the most important thing is that you enjoy yourself!

I don't think fedex actually wants to *deliver* packages. I think they want to move them between cities and have you pick them up yourself.
I currently have a package coming that requires an "indirect signature", which their website states "the recipient can sign for the package electronically through fedex delivery manager". Delivery manager tells me that I simply click on a shipping notification and click on "Sign for a package". The shipping notification says "This package can no longer be signed online... blah blah blah".
Meanwhile, the AI bot in the corner is suggesting I can pick up the package at a fedex location. Fuck you. Bring my shit to my house. That's the fucking job. The nearest location requires a 25 mile round trip drive.
So, fedex sucks for me and the GOP wants to kill my access to the Postal Service. UPS is the "good" option, but I'm not holding my breath on that continuing.
Anyway... Don't mind me, just ranting.
Here, I never have problems with FedEx but the postal service is nightmarish. They lose about a third of all the packages that get sent to me.
I always joke that FedEx only has three statuses for their packages:
1. Label printed
2. We have no idea where this thing is
3. Package was delivered yesterday

in reply to son of sam harris • • •It's likely that Americans who'd want to radically reshape the US (and the same principal will hold in other nations) would make use of foreign and dual nationality individuals because those people will have less misgiving about following radical paths.
For instance, in the UK we've had government ministers who were likely picked up by our security services and selected for power at a young age from abroad. Those people won't care about preserving a way of life.
There's likely political value here in portraying this as an external attack, but is it _only_ that? Could they get away with this if the most powerful local forces did not see this as beneficial to them? I doubt it.
Although much smaller in scale, an analogy here would be the role played by the Israelis in taking down Corbyn for installing Starmer as leader of the UK Labour party. I expect the UK security services approved this on behalf of their backers: co-opting foreign nationals and embassy staff then provides a kind of plausible deniability.
And perhaps that deniability is why the script was written like this.

I read Alford and Secker's National Security Cinema. They totally missed the transhumanism angle on Avatar, regarding it as a pacifist film which slipped through the net.
Films are Not Your Friends, which used to be on Youtube was my eye-opener on the scale of the security state interference in movies and TV.
He did a good podcast on the Manchester / Aria Grande event. Contrasts with the angle taken by Richard D Hall and Iain Davis, though not necessarily contradictory.
