Okay, this one has turned out pretty cool

A battlebot for #Ukraine 🇺🇦 They still gotta build it though

Today is a good day to revisit https://occupied.land/ by @nasser.

The infrastructure of #Israel's stranglehold on Palestinian lives is on full display. A Palestinian left us a message on #Apartheid Wall, it reads,

"The hands that build can also tear down".

The writer is challenging the Israeli reader. I hope that as the horror of these days unfolds, Israelis will realize that they need to become our partners in dismantling apartheid. There is no other path.

The absolute worst thing about #foss is that when I run into a bug, I have no one to be justifiably mad at.

@freemo

It doesn’t for the same reasons a bullet won’t be wet after you shoot it through a watermelon. The electrons would need to be sped up to high velocities to match the alpha, but there is very little time for them to interact with the alpha before it leaves the atom. They -will- get knocked around though, causing x rays or shake-off electrons.

Think about this when you see news like this.

@Yetimon @freemo there are many in the US – almost as many as Israel. Certainly not to toot our horn, though, we turned away thousands of refugees from the Nazis etc, to our great shame.

Dear Hamradio community, now it's in a working state. May I present: An Ansible Role for managing MMDVMHost on your Raspberry Pi hotspot.

If you ever wanted to manage your hotspot the automation way, I got you covered. Ansible is an automation/orchestration tool to roll out and configure software and systems remotely.

With ansible-mmdvm you can set up a hotspot from a second compute (or local) on your Raspberry. Update and roll out configuration changes. It doesn't feature DMRGateway so far, that's next on the list. Please note, this is a very early release that may have rough edges.

Dear hamradio YL and OM - please boost this for more reach so that we can build a reliable and open-sourced way to run our Raspberry MMDVM based hotspots or repeater.

> 160k vs. 700k and “Jews made up something like 10%”: Wasn’t the Jewish population like 500k by 1940? Your 160k to 700k sounds more like 1930 numbers? I’m not sure where you got those from, are you talking about a specific region that is much smaller than ex-Mandatory Palestine?

Ok so you have to keep in mind, 1947 is only when the invasion was announced with official borders for the annex. The start of the invasion was the british takeover in 1920, which had started in 1917 witht he Balfour decleration where Britain proclaimed its intention to take over the region and roce the invasion of jewish people upon the population currently living there. That was the start of the invasion in one sense or another as the british used its power to **force** the palestinians to accept jewish-only immigrants on to their land while explicitly **denying** arab imigrants in an attempt to **intentionally** tip the balance in that region.

So over the course of time from 1920 when the occupation of the british began, until 1947 when the Jews carried on the invasion on their own (and officially announced borders they intended to annex) was largely when the influx began.

So here are the official numbers for those dates (Source cited at the end):

1922 before the start of the occupation/invasion by brits: 84K Jews, 589K Muslim thats over 7x more Muslim than jews.

1947 at the end of British occupation after intentionally trying to inflate the area with more jews: 630K jews, and 1.1 million Muslims. Still approximately twice the number of Muslims to jews.

> (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Village_Statistics,_1945 – is this a total fabrication by the British??)

Yes, and no. The numbers there line up with what I said above... But its important within context. The British took over and occupied the land giving the native people no say in their own democracy, and in fact were intentionally diminished. Over the course of their rain they declared **publicly** their intent was to force millions of immigrants, jews, on the Palestinians against their objections. The numbers only rose to that level due to the British invasion and intentional injection of **illegal** immigrants into Palestine. So yes the ratio when from 7:1 to 2:1 in favor of palestinians due to an occupying force intentionally manipulating the population.

> When the partition was made, Jews were about 600k, 1/3 of the population. If I understand you correctly, you seem to be saying that number went from 160k to 600k in 1947. From everything I can find, this is not true? Instead, 160k->600k was gradual over a generation. (Do you have better sources than I do?

I cited sources for this. Population of jews went from 84K to 630K over the course of 20 years. This was intentionally done by Britain to manipulate the population in favor of Jews as they announced before their takeover that they would do exactly that.

> …uh, ok… I’m not trying to justify British colonialism here, not sure what your point is.

My point is that since the british was an invalid occupying force, and they acted contrary to the wishes of the citizens, those citizens are not valid since they were not recognized by the people who already were living on that land and were the rightful democratic body to make such a decision.

The brits cant just come in, force a bunch of white people on everyone and then leave and go "nope they have a right to be there"... like hell they do, Britain never had the right in the first place.

> fully agree. Something had to happen, though: there were 1/2 million Jews there and tons of violence. Do you think you could have done better?

I mean the brits are the ones who put those people there and started the violence... So yea something had to happen, they had to get those people out of the land they had no right to be on. If britain wanted to give refugees a home they should have given them part of britain, not someone elses home.

@ech And to further drive the point home... attached is the border of palestine in 1919 as recognized internationally **before** the invalid british take over. AS you can clearly see before the British not only was it 100% Palestine with no large swaths of Jewish land at all (the jews were there but largely intermixed)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Palestine_claimed_by_WZO_1919.png

So basically the brits invaded, took over, told jews they could come there, displaced the muslims by about 10%, and then the brits left and said the Jews now owned more than 50% of the land.

Sorry but thats an invasion by any measure.

@ech

To drive my point home attached is a map of the Jewish settlements pretty much the day before the invasion was declared (left).. AS you can see they re intermixed with palestinian/arab land, and this was all one country.

On the right, however, is the borders they declared in their own and intended to Annex in the invasion of 1947 and the war that followed. As you can see not only did they steal **significant** land that had no jews on it.. but the borders change the dynamic significantly since at the time Jews made up something like 10% of the population yet were given more than 50% of the land.

So yea its very clear they invaded and stole land and your narrative of them already being on the land is over the inaccurate.

@freemo At a quick guess, you're close, but it's energy, not moment. The nuclear decay processes are very short range and all the electrons know about it is via electromagnetism (since they don't participate in the strong interaction, the weak interaction is too short-range, and the electron's mass is too small for gravity to be important). If you want the electrons to leave their orbitals, you need to pump some energy into them. The less-negative electromagnetic potential energy from the reduced nuclear charge isn't necessarily enough for that to happen quickly - the atom just exists as a -2 ion for long enough that the alpha particle has time to escape.

I'm not a particle physicist; just trying piece together what I remember from undergrad physics.

@johnshirley2024@wandering.shop

There is absolutely no doubt Hamas, like Israel, is a terrorist group... just two terrorists fighting with each other committing war crimes back and forth and then being shocked the other side committed a war crime.

Thousands of #Jewish #Americans and Allies Demand #CeaseFire in Gaza

"We as American Jews believe that 'never again' means never again for anyone, and that includes Palestinians," said Jewish Voice for Peace.

As the Biden administration's intent to silence dissent against the United States' backing of the #Israel Defense Forces' onslaught in #Gaza became increasingly clear Friday night, at least 80 Jewish Americans and other supporters of #Palestinians' #HumanRights
