Rare interview of an Israeli reservist that was deployed to Gaza, saw actions motivated by revenge and young soldiers indiscriminately shooting on everything that moves.

“And in this unrestrained violence, all of which is motivated by revenge, the brigade commander was in first place. He is known as "the Tiktok brigade". He endangered us at every moment in this war, without any operational need. And his lieutenant, his hobby inside Gaza was to enter houses and burn them”

“Trump Media & Technology Group, which trades under the ticker DJT, slipped on Wednesday to below $50 per share, extending a steep decline this week that pulled the stock down from its high near $80 and erased more than $2 billion of market value.

Trump Media is the most “shorted” special purpose acquisition vehicle in the country, according to the financial data company S3 Partners.”

from LATimes:
'Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who was vice chair of the select committee, called Trump’s legal moves “a delaying tactic.”

“It cannot be the case that a president of the United States can attempt to overturn an election and seize power and that our justice system is incapable of holding a trial, of holding him to account, before the next election,” she told a crowd at Iowa’s Drake University last week.'

I'm afraid it can...

• Excuse me, Apple, why is the calculator wrong? When you key in 50 + 50 and hit the equals key, it’ll give you 100. Multiply that by 2 and you get 200. That’s correct. But type in 50 + 50 * 2 and it spits out 150. What gives? (remote)

Report from the front: Tonight's launch of Open Social (2007) https://web.archive.org/web/20080229063659/http://blog.pmarca.com/2007/11/report-from-the.html:

> Freedom wins, and openness wins. You can hold it back for some period of time, but in the long run, freedom always wins because freedom and openness let people all over the world be fully creative and innovative in every way they want.

Even with Google's adoption, OpenSocial never took off and eventually died.

We’ve been seeing – and you’re going to see – a lot more of this from the very same people who called those of us who challenged Silicon Valley when it wasn’t cool to do so “tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists” and blacklisted us from the web and dev communities.

And if you allow them their mea culpas, they will use whatever legitimacy they manage to claw back to do the exact same thing to the people speaking out on the issues that matter today. Then rinse and repeat come next decade. (2/3)

I swear, we are still talking about this platform stuff all wrong. There is absolutely no comparison between my mastodon engagements and those anywhere else. People here are just far more interested in engaging people and ideas than any other site where the biggest activity seems to be following celebrity accounts and popular influencers discussing very little. It’s a completely different kind of experience.
