For Republicans this is a feature, not a bug.

Clearly scientists are witches and must be burned.

Right-wing politics has always been an incoherent ragbag of momentarily convenient positions, insincerely held.

Pete Hegseth bragged on TV that he had not washed his hands in 10 years, because “germs are not a real thing.” These are stupid people.

Poor tumour, being afflicted with a malignant Netanyahu.

Same here, using the default web interface, but this bug seems to happen sometimes on Lemmy: half the people see a link and the other half just an image. OP probably did post a link.

That has always been true, but the prices are higher for all tiers now.

Yeah but then they wouldn’t get to collect people’s biometric data to sell to the highest bidder.

Reform isn’t anything new. It’s just old-fashioned bigoted fascism. Tory++.

Over LoRa it’s useful for basic off-grid messaging, but the bandwidth is extremely limited.

A meshnet over the internet would have more bandwidth. Various things have been tried. I2P is a kind of logical meshnet over the internet.

The overhaul will exclude the premier, his cabinet and all of their staff from disclosing emails, texts, phone records or any other documents they’ve created in their government work.

Well there’s a surprise: it makes corruption easier.

Hey thanks for doing that critical investigation. Although I posted propaganda and that wasn’t smart of me, It’s good to know those numbers are likely a misrepresentation and Israelis may not be as thoroughly extreme as that report makes them look.

On the other hand the responses of Israelis in opinion polls are not encouraging. From last July:

Personal response to the reports from Gaza: From examining the conduct of the state, we moved to a more personal question, asking: “To what extent are you personally troubled or not troubled by the reports of famine and suffering among the Palestinian population in Gaza?” A very large majority of Jewish respondents reported that they are not so troubled or not at all troubled personally by events in Gaza (79%), while the majority of Arabs said that they are very troubled or somewhat troubled (86%).

In the Jewish sample, we found no difference by gender (with 80% of women and 78% of men not troubled), while in the Arab sample we found that women are more troubled than men by the situation in Gaza (women, 92%; men, 80%).

I agree that, stated outright, it can sound paranoid and conspiratorial. But think of it as a mindset: “if the poors die that’s because they deserve it, for not being as smart/tough/clever/strong as us”, along with background assumptions about white racial superiority and needing to counter a “great replacement” of whites. Looked at that way, as implicit at least in their outlook if not consciously held, it doesn’t seem so implausible that this is influencing their policy decisions.

One thing I think is going on is an unstated fascist eugenics project, where instead of helping people live they try to set up conditions where many will die. The white supremacists in charge believe that they can filter out the weak and inferior through disease, starvation, and other adverse conditions, leaving behind only the glorious genetically superior white Übermenschen like, er, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller and RFK Jr. There is Nazi thinking behind much of what they do.

Doing this to your own armies in the middle of a war seems clearly stupid, but then so do white supremacist eugenics and starting a war with Iran.

Yeah I don’t really do new technology any more. I’m more into keeping the old machines running as long as possible.

Painfully expensive, like all computer hardware these days.

I think it’s just a quirk of their content management system. If you replace “entertainment” in the URL with “news” or “sports” the page still loads. Sometimes the middle bit of the URL is basically disregarded, or only used by the CMS for styling and menus.

Wilful ignorance was a key element in Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s theory of stupidity. It was the aggressive resistance to learning that he thought made the stupid person especially dangerous. And we see this characteristic in Trump, his sycophants like Hegseth, and his followers.

AKA “Microsoft’s QA”.
