ID soldiers testify to systematic killing of Palestinians in Gaza via weaponized drones
[Warning: story contains graphic descriptions]
Testimonies from soldiers who served in Gaza reveal extensive use of weaponized commercial drones modified to drop grenades on Palestinians. The soldiers describe frequently targeting unarmed civilians, including women and children, often to force them out of their homes.
[...] S said he saw some of the bodies through drone cameras. According to him, because the killing is done far from where the soldiers are, "the bodies aren't collected. The dogs eat them. You can see it through the cameras. I wouldn't be able to see a dog eating a body at any moment. The people around me did. The dogs are already conditioned to run to places where there's gunfire or explosions, as they understand this means a chance of finding a body."
Videos of such attacks, originally shared by soldiers, show grenades being dropped on fleeing civilians. Survivors and residents attest to the use of drones to displace large populations in line with military objectives and policies of evacuation. xcancel.com/ytirawi/status/194… (via Younis Tirawi)
IDF routinely denies allegations of targeting non-combatants.
Quoting Sergey Brin: "The use of the term genocide in the context of Gaza is very offensive to Jews, I would not rely on an anti-Semitic organization like the UN."
One might argue that companies profiting from genocide may react defensively... #ProjectNimbus is a $1.2 billion cloud and #AI contract between #Google, #Amazon, and #Israel that has been criticized internationally for enabling Israel's war on #Gaza, including surveillance and AI-driven tactics that contribute to the ongoing #genocide.
[follow up] Autel Robotics accused of selling drones to Israeli military used in Gaza
Autel Robotics, a Chinese drone manufacturer, is facing accusations of selling its drones to the Israeli military, which reportedly used them to fire grenades at unarmed civilians in #Gaza, including children. The company denies knowingly selling to #Israel and claims the sales were unauthorized. However, evidence suggests otherwise, including a public tender by the Israeli Defense Ministry for Autel drones and statements from an Israeli distributor who claims to have facilitated these sales. Autel is considering legal action against the distributor.
[…] Autel Robotics announced after the outbreak of the war in 2023 that it would stop selling drones "to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone," in accordance with regulations in China that prohibit the sale of civilian drones for military use. The company stated in response to the exposure by "Shecha Mekomit" that it "believes that technology should not be used as a means of harm or oppression," and strongly condemns this use. According to the company, not only was it unaware of the offensive military use of the drones, but it also did not make any sales to marketers or importers in Israel – either directly or through a third party – and it is unknown how they ended up in the hands of soldiers in the army.

In the first months of the war, Israeli army units received ample donations from the general public, mostly in Israel and the United States. Alongside food and shampoo, drones were among the items that soldiers requested the most.
“Soldiers independently launched crowdfunding campaigns,” L. explained. “Our company received around NIS 500,000 (approximately $150,000) in donations, which we also used to buy drones.” C., another soldier, recalled being asked to sign thank-you letters to Americans who had donated EVO drones to his battalion.
"(I'm aware the term genocide in the context of Gaza is very offensive to Jews, but that's what's happening in Gaza)"
Correction: the term is offensive primarily to people who hold Zionist commitments, some of whom are also Jewish. It is the reality of ongoing genocide, apartheid, forced displacement, and other crimes against humanity that is offensive to the overwhelming majority of Jewish people I know who are not also committed to Zionism as a political project.

GUILLAUME MEURICE, LA SCIENCE ET NOUS N. #Casaux (En référence à l'apéro du Club de Vert avec Guillaume Meurice le 24 juin 2025)
En théorie, la #science décrit le réel, admettons. Mais en pratique, la science n’a jamais été dissociable des intérêts ayant présidé à son avènement et déterminant encore aujourd’hui ses fins et ses moyens. Les pères fondateurs de la science moderne travaillaient à la solde de riches dirigeants. Galilée, par exemple, fut soutenu par les Médicis. Newton fut anobli par la Couronne britannique et dirigea la Monnaie de Londres. Boyle et Bacon fondaient explicitement la méthode scientifique dans le cadre d’un projet impérial de #domination de la #nature, dans une logique coloniale, marchande et extractiviste. Toute sa vie, Léonard de Vinci chercha à plaire à de puissants mécènes — les Sforza à Milan, les Médicis à Florence, François Ier en France, etc. — non pas seulement en peignant des Madones, mais surtout en proposant ses services d’ingénieur militaire, de concepteur de machines de guerre.
La science moderne n’a pas été créée par les volontés démocratiques des populations du monde, dans une volonté d’exprimer le vrai, de défendre le juste et de faire le bien. Elle est née au cœur des empires, dans des sociétés hautement hiérarchiques, au service d’intérêts marchands et de la course à la puissance. Depuis son avènement, ce sont des logiques de puissance, de rentabilité et de contrôle qui orientent les axes de recherche, les choix technologiques, les priorités épistémiques. Et aujourd’hui encore, sous ses dehors prétendument neutres, la science est financée par des budgets d’État fixés par une oligarchie de décideurs, mais aussi par l’industrie militaire, pharmaceutique, numérique ou énergétique. On n’étudie pas n’importe quoi, de n’importe quelle manière, au nom d’un amour abstrait de la vérité. Et donc la science décrit le réel, certes, mais dans les limites que lui imposent les structures de #pouvoir dont elle émane.
Par ailleurs, la science est une cause majeure de la catastrophe sociale et écologique en cours. La science a produit les machines ayant permis et permettant toujours d’extraire le pétrole du sol, et tous les engins à moteur thermique, de la locomotive au porte-conteneurs, de la moissonneuse-batteuse au char de combat. Elle a conçu les procédés de raffinage, les circuits logistiques, les techniques de fracturation hydraulique, les plastiques, les pesticides, les OGM, les armes atomiques et les LBD. Elle a permis aux sociétés humaines hiérarchiques, déjà axées sur la puissance, d’exploiter le monde plus vite, plus intensément, plus profondément. Sans la science, pas de réacteur nucléaire, pas de climatiseur, pas d’ordinateur, pas de smartphone, pas de réseau 5G. Pas d’Amazon, pas de Facebook, pas de Google. Pas de chaîne de production robotisée, pas de police algorithmique, pas de biométrie. La science n’a pas seulement permis l’avènement de l’enfer techno-industriel : elle l’a fabriqué.
La science repose sur une importante division spécialisée et hiérarchique du travail, laquelle n’est rendue possible que par la dépossession des êtres humains, l’existence de classes sociales, de rapports de domination, d’infrastructures centralisées et d’un appareil d’État capable d’imposer, de financer, d’orchestrer une répartition autoritaire des rôles et des savoirs. Elle repose sur une architecture sociale profondément hiérarchisée : à la base, des techniciens invisibles ; au sommet, une aristocratie de chercheurs, de « penseurs » et d’experts, séparés du reste de la population par un langage ésotérique, des diplômes inaccessibles, des institutions opaques. L’immense majorité des humains ne peut ni comprendre ni discuter ce que produit la science, encore moins décider de ses orientations. Elle doit croire. Paradoxe : la société qui se prétend « rationnelle » repose sur une foi absolue dans la parole de ses nouveaux prêtres, les scientifiques.
Certes, la science a aussi produit les antibiotiques, les vaccins, certaines connaissances médicales précieuses. Mais ces acquis, souvent brandis comme justification globale de la science moderne, sont l’arbre qui cache la forêt de ses ravages. Parce que les bienfaits de la science sont indissociables des désastres écologiques et sociaux qu'elle produit, et d'une #société de classes, et d’une vaste division spécialisée et hiérarchique du travail, où la quasi-totalité des individus sont privés de tout pouvoir sur le cours des choses, réduits au rôle de simples exécutants, de consommateurs passifs ou de cobayes involontaires d’innovations qu’ils n’ont ni souhaitées ni décidées.
Se lamenter d’attaques contre la science et prétendre que les dominants auraient peur de la science est donc idiot. La #science sert la #domination depuis ses origines. Elle est un de ses meilleurs alliés. Certes, certains scientifiques s’indignent. Ils signent des tribunes, dénoncent l’inaction face au réchauffement climatique, alertent sur la perte de biodiversité ou la surveillance de masse. Mais leurs plaintes ne changent rien. Elles ne peuvent rien contre les logiques profondes de la civilisation industrielle. Elles ne sont que des soupirs hypocrites dans un train lancé à toute vitesse, qu’ils ont eux-mêmes (ou leurs collègues, et leurs prédécesseurs) contribué à construire. De la même manière, les appels naïfs à « mieux orienter » la science, à « faire bon usage » de la technique, à « écouter les chercheurs », ne sont que des incantations impuissantes. Le réel est ailleurs : dans les structures de pouvoir, les flux de capitaux, les chaînes d’approvisionnement, les intérêts d’État et les impératifs industriels.
Sans prendre trop de risques, on peut prévoir qu’au cours des prochaines décennies, la science produira une multitude de nouveaux outils au service de la #surveillance, du #contrôle, de la #rentabilité, de la #puissance et de la #destruction du monde.
Le mythe de la science, très courant dans la société, et qui va de pair avec nombre d’autres mythes – le mythe de l’école comme invention émancipatrice, le mythe de la #technologie comme vecteur d’un progrès ayant glorieusement extirpé l’être humain d’une infâme condition quasi-animale, etc., – perpétue une mystification générale et l’asservissement fasciné des populations aux institutions qui les dominent et les exploitent.
At least 15 Palestinians, incl. 8 children and 2 women, have been killed in an Israeli strike while queuing for nutritional supplements in front of a clinic in central Gaza, a hospital says.
Video from al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital in Deir al-Balah showed the bodies of several children and others lying on the floor.
US-based aid group Project Hope, which runs the clinic, said the attack was a blatant violation of international law.
Another Palestinian journalist was killed by Israeli army fire in Gaza, bringing the death toll since October 2023 to 229, local authorities said on Thursday.

It makes me laugh/cry that we spent decades trying to get the software industry to internalise that it takes far more effort to support & maintain systems than it does to write them in the first place, and yet seemingly every trendy development in the last 5-10 years has been about making that initial stage faster & sloppier at the expense of everything else
I’m glad I’m not doing “serious” systems anymore, can you imagine trying to maintain code that does important things like paying people’s pensions in this environment
Having worked through a few buyouts, I suspect that the problem is more down to business strategy and human nature than tech.. The objective of most companies is to be eaten by a larger company, and the objective of the technical management of the larger company is to eliminate any internal competition - irrespective of how well written the product is. Cue multiple rewrites of the same product by teams with no knowledge of the original decisions / requirements that lead to it's form.
context matters. In a professional setting with expected software lifespans of several years/decades and teams working on it, your point stands.
However, as a hobbyist learning the ropes, lowering the initial hurdle makes a lot of sense. At that stage motivation and momentum count more than the final result (which is measured in lessons learned instead of features delivered). So there is a good reason for low friction green field project support.
sometimes we're developing the software as a product, and we don't no if it has enough demand or fits the market or etc. So we need to develop it fast to know even we might maintain that software or not.
Most contempory app have zero support and maintenance. When was the last time you could even rely on being able to open an app and having it work the same way as the last time you used it...
having now seen a bit of vibe-coding in the wild, i’m convinced that ballooning support and maintenance costs are going to put a lot of companies out of business — and pretty quickly, too
the absolute banger is that every single person that has done work in the field for any amount of time knows this. I mean developers and engineers. Managers and such stay clueless.
I partially wonder if this is because of who and what determines what's "trendy". When I drive the adoption of a tool, it's usually a small tool that fits in a small place in the workflow. (Massive benefits from it - the tool tends to do that one thing that was giving me problems really well. GitVersion is the most recent. Before that, it was an NPM package that makes it WAY easier to pull in unpublished NPM packages.)
Thing is... Those tools don't need marketing beyond minor SEO optimization. If you need them, you will probably find them or hear about them, and their users will tend to be quiet about them because those packages are not doing anything flashy. They are doing their jobs and taking care of a pain point in a workflow that doesn't highlight them.
Trendy development though, is a lot more about advertising. You need visibility to be trendy. Obvious impacts rather than subtle ones. Quick adoption rather than a slow adaption. It also tends to be the kind of thing that makes Managers excited rather than Developers.
And you also need these new technologies in flashy developments, not stable ones. Would you really notice if your bank made a backend refactor to adopt a technology that encouraged a smoother integration between their servers and databases? If your accounting software was modified to be more testable via automated means during the build stage, with the goal of more reliably finding and stopping bugs before release?
It has been longer. They literally taught me as undergraduate that Waterfall model would be replaced by Rapid Prototyping by the time I graduated in 1995.
And it was.
Seems often the only software available is someone's new prototype.

As with all things: context matters. Specifically the lighting in your environment. That’s why I have mine switch from a light to a dark theme with the rest of my system. Which, really, should be the default.
@aral Thanks! This is solely in the context of screen-recorded video, of me working in the shell as a function of some new training I'm launching.
Further, some of my students will be on poor quality connections, and so how a terminal theme fares across differing video quality settings is a significant factor.
Finally, talking to some I realise that what is a low-fatigue colour space for me, may be quite the inverse for them! A fascinating topic, that leads me to look for a good compromise.

Following the last update (tldr.nettime.org/@asrg/1147426…), we’re transitioning from planning to practice — amplifying both the scale and operational ferocity of our approach through the deployment of a new, more radically interventionist layer of complexity.
This intensified escalation — as outlined in the last update — is concretized in fakejpeg, which is now fully live and operational. From this point onward, every page generated by our standalone LLM crawler-tarpit embeds a garbage JPEG. Notably, within just a few hours of operation, this deployment has already yielded over 40,000 such images.
The integration of fakejpeg constitutes a critical deepening layer that amplifies both the strategic offensiveness and subversive ardor of our approach by enabling the ongoing targeted poisoning and coordinated dissemination of systematically crafted junk data within the operational workflows of AI systems.
Activity in the "Trapping AI" project is accelerating: in just under a month, over 26 million requests have hit our tarpit URLs 🕳️. Vast volumes of meaningless content were devoured by AI crawlers — ruthless digital leeches that relentlessly scour and pillage the web, leaving no data untouched.
In the coming days, we’ll roll out a new layer of complexity — amplifying both the intensity and offensiveness of our approach. This escalation builds on fakejpeg, a tool developed by @pengfold.
🖼️ fakejpeg generates fake JPEGs on the fly. You "train" it with a collection of existing JPEGs, and once trained, it can produce an arbitrary number of things that look like real JPEGs — perfect for feeding aggressive web crawlers junk 🗑️.

Your website doesn’t need to be a work of art. It just needs to feel right. When it does, visitors linger, engage, and trust you more. That’s the subtle power of good design—shaping perceptions and driving results without drawing attention to itself.
Websites are often taken for granted. You visit one, glance around, find what you’re looking for—or not—and move on without much thought.
But when you’re the one running the site, those brief moments are critical. They’re when visitors decide if your brand feels trustworthy, professional, or worth their attention. That quick interaction shapes how your business is perceived.
This is where great web design steps in. A skilled website designer doesn’t just make your site look good—they create an experience that builds confidence and keeps people engaged.
First Impressions Are Instant
Visitors judge your website in seconds. They don’t read every word or analyze the design—they scan and form a quick opinion. That snap reaction decides whether they stay or leave.
A clean, modern, fast-loading site signals reliability. A cluttered, slow, or outdated one pushes people away. They might not know why they left—just that something felt off. Good design captures those fleeting moments and turns them into trust.
Design Is About Usability, Not Just Style
Web design isn’t just about colors or fonts. It’s about creating a site that feels effortless to use. A website designer focuses on how visitors move through your site—what they click, what they read, and what keeps them exploring.
Navigation should be intuitive. Buttons should be clear. Text should be readable on any device. Pages should load quickly. These details create a seamless experience that encourages visitors to stay. Web design services prioritize function over aesthetics, ensuring your site works as well as it looks.
A Poor Website Sparks Doubt
You might not pinpoint why a website feels wrong, but you notice. Slow performance, clunky mobile layouts, or a dated look can create hesitation. And online, hesitation often means a lost visitor.
If your site feels unprofessional, people might question your business’s credibility. That brief pause can send them to a competitor. A poorly designed website doesn’t just frustrate—it risks losing customers before they engage with your work.
Your Website Defines Your Brand
Your website is often the first thing potential customers see. It’s your digital front door, setting expectations for what it’s like to work with you. Does it feel current? Professional? Trustworthy?
If not, you’re sending the wrong message. Web design services help align your site with your brand’s reality, whether through updated visuals, streamlined navigation, or mobile optimization. It’s about ensuring your online presence matches your real-world quality.
The Risk of "Good Enough"
It’s tempting to stick with a website that’s "fine." It’s online, it functions, it’s there. But a mediocre site can quietly hurt your business. Low engagement, high bounce rates, or fewer inquiries often trace back to user experience issues.
Good design guides visitors toward action with clear calls-to-action, intuitive layouts, and fast performance. When these elements work together, visitors trust your brand and are more likely to take the next step.
Choosing a Website Designer Who Gets It
When selecting web design services, look for someone who starts with your goals. They should ask about your audience, your challenges, and what you want to achieve. A great website designer Singapore focuses on purpose, not just visuals.
A website isn’t a showpiece—it’s a tool to connect and convert. The right designer builds a site that’s both functional and credible, working as hard as you do.
Final Thought
Your website doesn’t need to be a work of art. It just needs to feel right. When it does, visitors linger, engage, and trust you more. That’s the subtle power of good design—shaping perceptions and driving results without drawing attention to itself.
Create a powerful online presence with our modern and innovative web design services. Our skilled web designers will create a custom website that fits your brand.

Die Palette unserer Gefühle ist reichhaltig, und alle sdiese Gefühle sind auch valide, als Signal, wie wir uns (mit etwas/jemandem) Leider haben viele Menschen keinen Bezug mehr zu ihren gefühlen, weil sie "gefährlich" sind und damit auch schambesetzt. Ein klassisches Beispiel dafür wäre: ein Kind ist zornig auf einen Elternteil und wünscht ihm den Tod. Das geht ja gar nicht, zum einen aus gesellschaftlichen Gründen, zum anderen aus Überlebensnotwendigen Gründen (je nachdem, wie alt das kind ist) Deswegen man packt sie weg, wie auch immer. Der Gedanke alleine ist ein Tabu! Wut, Freude und Angst schaffen es noch durch diesen Deckel/Wattekokon. Daher auch diese wirklich doofe aussage. Wut lässt sich nicht deckeln, und sie muss auch raus. Aber dann besteht auch gefahr, dass die Gesellschaft sich damit beschäftigen muss. Man ächtet also als Gesellschaft wieder einen Wütenden, was den Wütenden dan mit Scham erfüllt. So der Mechanismus, wie man den Kontakt verliert. Wenn man Wut verpacken kann, dann sind "zartere" Gefühle wie nervöse. Anspannung, freudige Aufgeregtheit etc. Chancenlos

Steel holds the memory. Concrete holds the weight. Together, they become structure. Not just walls — but intention made solid. Rebar is the skeleton. It resists tension, bends, but never breaks.

And if you listen closely… you’ll hear it curing.

"In an American discourse so heavily imbued with anti-Palestinian racism and so rife with Islamophobia, Palestinians or those who dare see them as human are not allowed to have legitimate intentions or legitimate grievances. They are to be constantly seen as suspicious. Even if they speak of human rights, equality, dignity, they can never really be trusted to mean those things because of who they are — sneaky shapeshifters with deeply held, murderous, ulterior motives. It is quite remarkable how much this echoes antisemitism throughout history, and that should surprise no one. All forms of racism are connected." bird.makeup/users/yousefmunayy…
Of course, not just in America. Just the same in Europe. You see it everywhere. I remember an exchange here with a lovely environmentalist who was a good Mastodon friend before, who was so suspicious of Dr Ghassan Abu-Sitah (the rector of Glasgow university) when he was denied entry into France that she tried to prove that he was lying on twitter and was a Hamas sympathesiser. She unfollowed me when I tried explain that her “sources” were known Zionist propaganda.
With the caveat that to some extent it's not even about impugning suspected ulterior motives. There have been examples of Israel-apologists complaining that a literal and sincere call for “equal rights for all” is somehow offensive. Not because of being a supposed front for malicious intentions, but because the actual concept of equal rights per se is objectionable to them.

in reply to oatmeal • • •[follow up] Autel Robotics accused of selling drones to Israeli military used in Gaza
Autel Robotics, a Chinese drone manufacturer, is facing accusations of selling its drones to the Israeli military, which reportedly used them to fire grenades at unarmed civilians in #Gaza, including children. The company denies knowingly selling to #Israel and claims the sales were unauthorized. However, evidence suggests otherwise, including a public tender by the Israeli Defense Ministry for Autel drones and statements from an Israeli distributor who claims to have facilitated these sales. Autel is considering legal action against the distributor.
[…] Autel Robotics announced after the outbreak of the war in 2023 that it would stop selling drones "to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone," in accordance with regulations in China that prohibit the sale of civilian drones for military use. The company stated in response to the exposure by "Shecha Mekomit" that it "believes that technology should not be used as a means of harm or oppression," and strongly condemns this use. According to the company, not only was it unaware of the offensive military use of the drones, but it also did not make any sales to marketers or importers in Israel – either directly or through a third party – and it is unknown how they ended up in the hands of soldiers in the army.

in reply to oatmeal • • •"(I'm aware the term genocide in the context of Gaza is very offensive to Jews, but that's what's happening in Gaza)"
Correction: the term is offensive primarily to people who hold Zionist commitments, some of whom are also Jewish. It is the reality of ongoing genocide, apartheid, forced displacement, and other crimes against humanity that is offensive to the overwhelming majority of Jewish people I know who are not also committed to Zionism as a political project.
