The book "Nuclear War: A Scenario" by Annie Jacobsen is about the potential consequences of a nuclear war, focusing on the lack of time available during such an event.
A nuclear attack could unfold in minutes, with devastating effects on human civilization.
The book portrays the grim reality of a nuclear war, with no room for limited or controlled escalation, and the potential for global catastrophe.

"It's an order—destroy the neighborhood so Arabs can't return"
Israel's destruction of Gaza’s schools
Sami Vanderlip and Younis Tirawi
Jun 06, 2025
"“You just need to destroy the neighborhood, so that they can’t come back there. Why to destroy? That’s the mission; that’s what I carry out.”
Those are the words of an Israeli sergeant from the 432 Tzabar Battalion of the #GivatiBrigade who spoke to #DropSiteNews on condition of anonymity due to #Israeli military policy. Givati was one of the brigades involved in implementing the General’s Plan—a policy devised by former General Giora Eiland that used the lack of access to water, food, and medicine as a weapon of war to force the besieged #Palestinians in the north of #Gaza to starve or surrender."

Just wondering.
Are there minimalists here who tailor the distro used to their pc or sbc? Custom kernel. Swap default programs for simpler ones. That kind of stuff.
Are there examples of someone using (for instance) buildroot to create a custom 'distro' as daily driver?
If so. Curious about the technical details but also the 'why?' question.
הארכת מעצר של סנא סלאמה, אלמנתו של האסיר החלל וליד דקה. סנא חשודה בעבירות "הסתה" בהתבסס על פוסטים ברשת חברתית. בדיון עולה כי נחקרה אודות 5 פוסטים שהוקראו לה מבלי שהמקור הוצג בפניה.
3 פוסטים שבהם מופיעות דמויות מתחום המאבק החמוש, רק בעיה אחת איתם, הם לא פורסמו על-ידה אלא היא רק מתוייגת בהם.
בתגובה שואל השופט ערן זלר:
היא מחקה את הפוסטים ?
כי הרי ידוע שאי מחיקת פוסט המתייג אותך הינה פעולת הסתה.
הדיון נמשך אל שני פוסטים שכן נכתבו בידי החשודה. האחד הוא תמונה שלה עם זכריא זבידי, אסיר ששוחרר בעסקת שבויים ואין שום איסור לקיים איתו קשר.
"האם זו עבירה להיפגש עם זכריא זבידי ?" שואל הסנגור והתובע עונה:
הוא שייך לאותו ארגון כמו וליד דקה, החזית העממית
זכריא זבידי הינו איש פתח ידוע...
ממשיכים לפוסט החמישי, עליו טוענת התביעה כי הוא "פרסום של החזית העממית". הסניגור מתרגם והתובע מסכים עימו כי הפוסט המדובר הינו הזמנה להפגנה למען שחרור גופתו של וליד דקה. ההזמנה מטעם "הוועד העממי להחזרת גופתו של וליד דקה".
"מה הקשר לחזית העממית ?" שואל הסניגור ונענה:
הוועד העממי זה קשור לחזית העממית

Hi everyone, I'm planning on moving from w11 to kubuntu (lts release - 24.04). I'm a gamer at heart, a game designer by education, and wanting to get away from Windows. I could really use some top tips, best practices, and things to look out for. I have run Linux on a Chromebook, but never as my primary PC.
I'm preparing by copying tax info, critical documents, game prototypes, and D&D documents to a USB.
Then run Linus from a different USB on restart?
Thank you for your help, and any references to specific how-to's 😅.
