Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu decided to expand a military operation on the northern front with Lebanon, an Israeli media outlet said Saturday.
Channel 13 reported that Netanyahu made the statement during a strategic dialogue session on Thursday to discuss the escalation on the northern front, without specifying the parties involved in the session.
Israel is “on the verge of a broad and strong operation on the northern front,” he said.

Discovered some #linux #bluetooth shenanigans yesterday.
I fired up a first-person game for the first time in a long time, and found that the mouse movement was really jerky. Seems that the average polling rate on my MX Master 3S was really low over bluetooth - around 70-80Hz. My main monitor is 100Hz, so this is really noticeable.
The shenanigans come in because when I switched on my bluetooth trackball (M575) at the same time, the average polling rate for both went up to 90-125Hz!

Local sources said that the occupation soldiers fired sound bombs and toxic gas at the citizens who participated in the stand, against the occupation's attempts to seize their lands in the area for the benefit of colonial expansion.

The snow-covered and wind-scoured landscape clearly defines a landslide that stopped just short of bulldozing the building.
February: Hofstaðakirkja in Skagafjörður, NW #Iceland.
First mentioned in Landnámabók, an Icelandic written work which describes the settlement of Iceland by the Norse in the 9th and 10th centuries CE, it was originally a turf church, and rebuilt in wood in 1832.

‘Train AI with your emotions’
I had a negative visceral reaction to this. The tests were run by the library and uni, both highly trusted. People were having fun in Virtual Reality goggles. I’m sure the research aim is good. But I’ve developed an instinctive dislike of AI because of its ubiquitous intrusion and the way it has enshittified basic things like autocorrect and search. So when I saw the sign, my immediate thought was: AI can fuck right off if it thinks I’m giving it my emotions.

Showing up to the library to ruin their training data with my autism and alexithymia 
Jokes aside, this looks like yet another use of AI to automate biases - as if every person shows emotions the same way regardless of upbringing, culture, neurotype etc.
