Apparently that they really mean it this time.

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

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.

Sounds great but is sold out already.

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%).

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.

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.

From that 2019 article:

Fox News host Pete Hegseth has said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing".

Speaking on Fox and Friends, Hegseth said the infectious micro-organisms did not exist because they could not be seen with the naked eye.

This is a man who attended more than one very expensive university and didn't learn a thing, then said this idiocy, immediately after which the world was hit by a pandemic, and again Hegseth didn't learn a thing. The guy must be terminally stupid.

Anyway, if you ever have the misfortune to meet Pete Hegseth, don't shake his shit-covered hand. Although he probably doesn't believe in wiping his ass or showering either. After all, a dirty butthole isn't real because you can't see it without using one of these new-fangled mirror gadgets.

I would accidentally ride home on a bush.

New York’s state budget could pass within days. Buried deep in the text is a provision that has nothing to do with balancing the books. Part C of the budget bill would require every 3D printer sold in New York to run surveillance software that scans every design file you create, and blocks anything an algorithm flags as a potential firearm component . A separate provision would expose researchers, journalists, and educators to felony charges simply for possessing or sharing certain design files.
