“Levy describes a system that has almost reached perfection. The political echelon wants to maintain the status quo, and the military provides it with legitimacy in exchange for funds and status.”
“Levy points out the gradual withdrawal of the old Ashkenazi middle class from the ranks of the combat forces[…]:
• the military’s complete reliance on technology as a decisive factor in warfare;
• the adoption of the concept […] of an army that is “small and lethal”;
• the obsession with the idea of #deterrence, which is supposed to negate the other side’s will to fight; and
• the complete addiction to the status quo as the only possible and desirable state of affairs.”https://www.972mag.com/yagil-levy-army-middle-class/ @israel @ethics @military @idf

🎙️ In a groundbreaking revelation, 31,000 radio enthusiasts will once again pretend it's 1925 instead of 2025 by fiddling with antennas and "ham" radios in the woods. 🍖🚀 It's like Coachella for people who think Morse code is the peak of modern communication. 📞🔥

Opening the newspaper and searching for your ID number to look up your #Matric results has always been such an institution in #SouthAfrica, but that's about to end: https://techcentral.co.za/matric-results-2024-newspapers/255598/?utm_source=MastodonAfrica
On the one hand, it's a real shame. On the other, I can understand how it's necessary in this day and age, with all these #privacy concerns and so many underhanded people out there. Still, end of an era. :/

🎉 Happy Easter - Show me your Easter eggs :)
I have a 15-year-old homepage with a hidden chat from an old game 👉 https://yuna.berlin
Guess the game?Easter: a seasonal reminder that most companies have the imagination of a beige wall.
Let’s talk software Easter eggs – tiny sparks of joy buried under layers of Jira tickets.If your product has none?
Congratulations. Your engineers are either chained in the feature factory…
or your company is too visionless to let them play.Examples of fun companies:
🐍 Snake while YouTube buffers
🎮 GitHub mobile mini-game
🙃 Blame-someone error pagesYour product?
❌ No dark mode
❌ No gamification
❌ No clever errors
❌ No i18n
❌ No responsive design
❌ No joyBut hey, Time to Market, right?
You’re not innovating. You’re duct-taping compliance machines.No Easter eggs = No creative freedom
No themed UI = No empathy
No jokes = No soul
No dev input = No ownershipYou’re not building software.
You’re crafting digital despair.Fix it. Or at least add a theme toggle.
💀 Happy Easter.
Go find your soul.List of Google Easter eggs: https://elgoog.im/

Oooh, this issue of #sport broadcasting rights in #SouthAfrica is heating up fast!
"This is a very friendly warning," said our sport minister. "Fix this thing before we declare war!"

So #Multichoice lost 9% of its subscriber base over the last 12 months. They're blaming a "challenging consumer environment". I say it's because they're dinosaurs who have no idea what the TV watching public actually want in 2024. :P

Could this FINALLY be the beginning of the end for the monopolies that companies like #Multichoice have over live #sport? #TV
https://techcentral.co.za/investors-bullish-netflix-live-sports/245938/?utm_source=MastodonAfrica
Will Netflix's sport option even be *available* in #SouthAfrica, or will Multichoice block it here before it starts?

If you were born on or after 1970, it's interesting to see what major #tech events happened in the year you were born: https://techcentral.co.za/what-happened-in-tech-year-you-were-born/237474/?utm_source=Mastodon
My year is 1980. It's a pity that they don't mention #BBSes or #FidoNet, because both of those were, IMO, pretty important precursors to the modern #Internet and social networks (I ran a #BBS in the early 1990s, and it was connected to a FidoNet network).
