  • The nuclear scientists were killed using a special weapon whose details were barred from publication, Channel 12 says.

    The 10th nuclear scientist was killed shortly after the other nine, as part of the overnight Thursday-Friday Israeli operation, which included strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile program and the Natanz nuclear site, along with the elimination of top members of the Islamic Republic’s military leadership, the network says.

    The nuclear scientists were all killed while they were sleeping in their beds, with Israel deciding to carry out the assassinations simultaneously so that there wouldn’t be time to tip off those being targeted.

    The scientists apparently believed they were safe from such targeting in their homes, a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12, noting that previously assassinated nuclear scientists were killed while heading to their cars after work.

    Israel had been tracking Iranian nuclear scientists for years and the ten killed last week were marked for assassination in November of last year, Channel 12 says.

    How Israel Uses AI in Gaza—And What It Might Mean for the Future of Warfare:

    A program known as “The Gospel” generates suggestions for buildings and structures militants may be operating in. “Lavender” is programmed to identify suspected members of Hamas and other armed groups for assassination, from commanders all the way down to foot soldiers. “Where’s Daddy?” reportedly follows their movements by tracking their phones in order to target them—often to their homes, where their presence is regarded as confirmation of their identity. The air strike that follows might kill everyone in the target's family, if not everyone in the apartment building.

    Abraham, whose report relies on conversations with six Israeli intelligence officers with first-hand experience in Gaza operations after Oct. 7, quoted targeting officers as saying they found themselves deferring to the Lavender program, despite knowing that it produces incorrect targeting suggestions in roughly 10% of cases.

    The weapon: 💣

  • They're an Islamic Republic. That puts a certain kind of upper limit to their intelligence, not to mention morality and ethics.

    As opposed to the upper limit of morality and ethics of those who are carrying out the unprovoked attacks?

  • Then how are they a threat?

    I don't know how much of a threat they are, but incompetence and ability to harm are two different things

    Let me fix the headline - Israel commits more state sponsored terrorist attacks in neighbouring countries.

  • It's like that saying goes: "The law is the same for everyone, neither the king nor the beggar may sleep under a bridge."

    That's BS. The king would never need to sleep under a bridge and if he chose to the police would be there to kick out the homeless people and make sure the king is safe for the night.

    The only difference between Israel and a terrorist organization is PR and budget.

  • There's a rules-based international order. We make the rules, and guess who gives the orders.

    So why is Vladimir Putin not in Hague?

  • One weird thing I noticed is the children inheriting the welth also tend to be psycho. Perhaps having everything you need destroys empathy?

    Does that imply that we should avoid getting people everything they need?

  • So Netanyahu let close to 1200 Israelis die of which 736 were civilians? Are any Israelis condemning him for that?

    So Netanyahu let close to 1200 Israelis die of which 736 were civilians?

    I don't think any of those articles claims that Netanyahu let these specific attacks happen, so I think your conclusion is pretty wild. There was some pieces of intelligence about a possible attack. Do you know how many similar pieces of intelligence they have and deal with every day?

    one racist statement to gaslight the forum

    "the troll left his calling card"

    "it says pussy"

  • jeez you're a racist scumbag POS.

    It's not racist to say that a theocracy scares a lot of smart people away. I know multiple Iranian families who all fled Iran after 1979 and came to Europe. All highly educated, all very opposed to the Islamic Republic that ruined their country.

    Here, the effect is notable enough to have its own Wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_capital_flight_from_Iran

    "it says pussy"

    What do you mean, "no further replies"? Are you referring to the toxic people I blocked?

    Are you one of them?

  • Oh are they also bombing refugees that they themselves created? My goodness, someone should stop that!

    Humans have rights, not states, and Israel's existence as an apartheid state is mutually exclusive with the rights of the humans living there.

  • Yeah, seems like the lesson is build nukes at all costs, as it's the only safeguard against attack.

    Also see Libya's nuclear program.

  • Please understand that I'm not some liberal, and I'm open to your perspective. I'm not being argumentative, I'm just asking for a source. I'm interested in finding out more about the Nuremberg trials, and typically google suggests libbed up shit, so I'm asking you specifically to help me out.

    I understand, and it's good that you want to find out stuff.
    I'll gladly try to help.

    I think it's important not to focus on Nuremberg but understand the purpose of it in the big picture about WW2.
    Like I said, the Nuremberg trials where a show trial.
    To say to the world: 'look here, justice has been done and the bad nazis are punished, we can move on now'.
    They made an example of those on trial and the world could enjoy watching a few of them hang.

    I'll post some links to what is swept under the carpet and never taught in schools, the uncomfortable truth that US/UK/Eu capitalists had no problem with fascism and helped it survive.
    That they went to great lengths to save awful warcriminals and made sure other nazis remained in power in Europe.

    The support for fascists continued post war too:

    Covertly, as for example in Project Aerodynamic

    But even openly, as they saw no problem in accepting clear fascist states like Spain (Franco), Portugal (Salazar) or Greece into NATO.

    Wikipedia sucks ass.

    And 1979? LOL
    When they removed the US installed shah regime.
    The Iranian equivalent of Cuban gusanos.

    The US/UK ruined their country when these vultures overthrew the democratic Mossadeq regime to steal their oil as always.
    And you know it.
    Iranians are highly educated now,
    They produce as many engineering graduates annually as the United States.
    70% of them are WOMEN.
    So suck on that and stick to playing your games kid.

    Wait these genocidal idiots really called it "Operation Narnia"?

    wtf

    vomits on ground

    This would be disgusting if it was just a normal act of war, of killing soldiers and calling it a cute name like this to disguise how any war is a tragedy, but there is a much more serious red flag here about Israel and Israeli society, this shows a blatant disregard for the humanity of these SCIENTISTS by assassinating them and making a joke out of it about sending them to dream land. Not only is this murder, the motive is a blatant lie, Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon that is undeniable and unarguable based on the overwhelming evidence.

    If you still think that Israel and the US aren't coming for science, freedom of thought and peace in general you are a fool. I live in the heart of this dying empire, the US, and let me tell you, they are coming for you if you are a scientist, run or fight, either is fine but pick one soon before it is too late.

  • You didn't check any of the links I gave.
    No surprise then you know nothing and are one of those who typically only heard of 'Operation Paperclip' where they used some 'harmless scientist' like Werner Von Braun, etc...
    Who was not only a member of the nazi party but an SS member.

    So nazi whitewasher, look at the links and explain why they evacuated an entire SS-Galizien Division from ukraine?
    The ones who murdered 40000 jews in 2 days at Babi Yar and put 4000 antifascist civilians in a mine shaft and then blew up the entrance leaving them to die horribly?

    Or why save warcriminals and let them live their lives in S-America?

    Nobody is harmless - regardless of philosophy or origins - particularly when they work for the military.

    look at the links and explain why they evacuated an entire SS-Galizien Division from ukraine?

    Seems that your mind is made up, why don't you elaborate.

  • Aren't you the genocide denialist?

  • Does anyone remember Webdog??

    Idk if this covers your needs, but Home Assistant is non-cloud and supports voice commands. They're selling a voice hardware now (preview edition): https://www.home-assistant.io/voice-pe/ While I've used HA for years, I've never tried any of the voice command methods, so can't really comment on it. I had just recently came across their voice hardware and am probably going to give it a try.

    What I'm speaking about is that it should be impossible to do some things. If it's possible, they will be done, and there's nothing you can do about it. To solve the problem of twiddled social media (and moderation used to assert dominance) we need a decentralized system of 90s Web reimagined, and Fediverse doesn't deliver it - if Facebook and Reddit are feudal states, then Fediverse is a confederation of smaller feudal entities. A post, a person, a community, a reaction and a change (by moderator or by the user) should be global entities (with global identifiers, so that the object by id of #0000001a2b3c4d6e7f890 would be the same object today or 10 years later on every server storing it) replicated over a network of servers similarly to Usenet (and to an IRC network, but in an IRC network servers are trusted, so it's not a good example for a global system). Really bad posts (or those by persons with history of posting such) should be banned on server level by everyone. The rest should be moderated by moderator reactions\changes of certain type. Ideally, for pooling of resources and resilience, servers would be separated by types into storage nodes (I think the name says it, FTP servers can do the job, but no need to be limited by it), index nodes (scraping many storage nodes, giving out results in structured format fit for any user representation, say, as a sequence of posts in one community, or like a list of communities found by tag, or ... , and possibly being connected into one DHT for Kademlia-like search, since no single index node will have everything), and (like in torrents?) tracker nodes for these and for identities, I think torrent-like announce-retrieve service is enough - to return a list of storage nodes storing, say, a specified partition (subspace of identifiers of objects, to make looking for something at least possibly efficient), or return a list of index nodes, or return a bunch of certificates and keys for an identity (should be somehow cryptographically connected to the global identifier of a person). So when a storage node comes online, it announces itself to a bunch of such trackers, similarly with index nodes, similarly with a user. One can also have a NOSTR-like service for real-time notifications by users. This way you'd have a global untrusted pooled infrastructure, allowing to replace many platforms. With common data, identities, services. Objects in storage and index services can be, say, in a format including a set of tags and then the body. So a specific application needing to show only data related to it would just search on index services and display only objects with tags of, say, "holo_ns:talk.bullshit.starwars" and "holo_t:post", like a sequence of posts with ability to comment, or maybe it would search objects with tags "holo_name:My 1999-like Star Wars holopage" and "holo_t:page" and display the links like search results in Google, and then clicking on that you'd see something presented like a webpage, except links would lead to global identifiers (or tag expressions interpreted by the particular application, who knows). (An index service may return, say, an array of objects, each with identifier, tags, list of locations on storage nodes where it's found or even bittorrent magnet links, and a free description possibly ; then the user application can unify responses of a few such services to avoid repetitions, maybe sort them, represent them as needed, so on.) The user applications for that common infrastructure can be different at the same time. Some like Facebook, some like ICQ, some like a web browser, some like a newsreader. (Star Wars is not a random reference, my whole habit of imagining tech stuff is from trying to imagine a science fiction world of the future, so yeah, this may seem like passive dreaming and it is.)
