Thousands of Israelis join violent, racist march through Jerusalem’s Muslim quarter

"The Jerusalem municipality advertises the event, known as the flag march, as a “festive procession”, part of a broader programme of events celebrating the “liberation” of the city.

The march has been marred by racism and attacks on Palestinians for years, and is preceded by a campaign of violence in the Old City that in effect shuts down Palestinian majority areas, particularly in the Muslim Quarter."

World News reshared this.

You know, I really don't want to lump all Israelis together with their racist POS counterparts. But then I see this and I can't help but think all Israelis are like this.

Amazing to think only a couple of generations ago, they were on the receiving end of hate like this.

in reply to SecretSauces

There was a piece on this awhile back, Israel was destined for a rightward lunge given a lot of their population would be those moving out of fear or actual receipt of antisemitic behaviour.

Ukraine’s drone war accelerates AI weapons race: FT


According to a recent Financial Times (FT) report, experts are saying the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly pushing warfare toward a future where machines could one day make lethal decisions on their own.

Earlier this month, Ukrainian forces claimed they took down a Russian fighter jet using missiles launched from an unmanned naval drone.

It was a striking example of how the Ukraine war has become a proving ground for advanced military technologies, especially drones powered by AI, according to the FT.

It really sucks that we got this war at the same time as ai.
If we didn't have this war, ai weapons would be untested for years in domain of US and China. And even them would probably have a limited number of them, possibly so overengineered that nobody would think of mass scale usage.
Now this f**cked up weapon is really a necessity.

Can't get that star trek TNG episode out of my mind.

Sudan: RSF commit gross violations in northern state attack, sources say


The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan have reportedly committed gross violations against civilians in their recent attack on the Dar Al-Reeh area, including the village of Dar Kabir, south of the city of Jabrat Al-Sheikh in North Kordofan State.

Local sources said RSF forces killed brothers Mohammed and Saad Ali Saeed, forcibly displaced local residents and looted homes and shops.

The region is experiencing chaos and unrest amid a severe shortage of drinking water and deteriorating health conditions, coinciding with the onset of a cholera outbreak.



Kenya backs Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara, joint statement says


Kenya said yesterday it supports Morocco’s plan to give the disputed region of Western Sahara autonomy under the North African kingdom’s sovereignty, joining a growing number of African, Arab and Western countries that have tilted towards backing Rabat in the five-decade conflict, Reuters reports.

The long-frozen conflict, dating back to 1975, pits Morocco, which considers the territory as its own, against the Algeria-backed Polisario Front, which seeks an independent state in the desert territory.

Morocco, a leading phosphates and fertiliser producer, has agreed to immediately accelerate exports of soil nutrients to Kenya, as the two countries plan to cooperate on renewable energies, tourism, fisheries, security and cultural and religious affairs, the joint statement said.



'Israel' approves largest reservist mobilization to expand Gaza war


The Israeli occupation government has approved a sweeping decision to mobilize up to 450,000 reservists under the emergency military directive known as Order 8, marking the most extensive reservist mobilization since the war erupted on October 7, 2023.

Despite the magnitude of the mobilization, Israeli media reports indicate that the move was made amid serious legal reservations. A legal opinion accompanying the decision highlighted significant complications in renewing emergency draft orders, largely due to the government's failure to implement adequate measures to increase enlistment within the Haredi community.

Observers note that the lack of governmental action to address these gaps casts doubt on the legitimacy and sustainability of such large-scale mobilization efforts.

Like who are they even fighting at this point? Dusty tired and hungry insurgents? Isreal has real modeen military and they dont seem to have any rules. What are they slow walking?
in reply to Granbo's Holy Hotrod

Possibly trying to colonize the northern part of Gaza. International pressure is starting to rise and they might want to steal some land before "accepting a ceasefire" in classic Israeli fashion.
in reply to Granbo's Holy Hotrod

By their own words they are fighting "(human) animals", just saying. I sometimes have a hard time telling if some of the things they say are from 1933-1945s Germany or 1948-today's Israel
in reply to Granbo's Holy Hotrod

They're prepping for war with Iran & several other countries in the Middle East. Gaza is the training exercise.

The X86_NATIVE_CPU Kconfig build time parameter has been merged for the Linux 6.16 merge window as an easy way to enforce the “-march=native” compiler behavior on AMD and Intel processors to optimize kernel builds for your system's local CPU architecture/family. For those who want “-march=native” for Linux kernel builds on AMD/Intel x86_64 processors, you can easily include a new CONFIG_X86_NATIVE_CPU parameter to set this compiler behavior in local kernel builds. The CONFIG_X86_NATIVE_CPU parameter is considered when compiling the Linux x86_64 kernel with GCC or LLVM Clang when using Clang 19 or later due to a compiler bug in the Linux kernel in older compiler versions. In addition to setting the compiler parameter “-march=native” for Linux kernel C code, enabling this new Kconfig build parameter also sets “-Ctarget-cpu=native” for Rust kernel code.
in reply to 0xf

I thought the whole point of this setting is not having to specify the features of the CPU. You can compile native versions now if you set things yourself.
in reply to LeFantome

Yes it is that, on gentoo I had set it like that for a while. Before I specified it to be sure. I Thought linus, didn't want to have this.


What do you all think about piracy?


Pirated and OS software are different things, obviously. But would you prefer one over the other? I'm thinking of switching to both OS software AND pirated software. Just want opinions and tips from this community.
in reply to darkguyman

Corporations can't suffer. It doesn't matter whether you "steal" from them or not.
in reply to darkguyman

If piracy wasn't possible I would probably be against computers entirely

"Peace through strength" has such an aweful ring to it. From the first recorded historical use forward it has been used by empires using rethoric to whitewash their aggression.

Hey who knows - if one of those lesser social medias had an Owl of the Year contest, they might still be around!
