While a large proportion of observant, fundamentalist Jewry in Israel do not support Zionism or fight in its wars, a vast number of American Christian Zionists consider themselves obliged to serve the Chosen by helping kill their enemies.

A sufficient proportion of Americans and Israelis don't care about Muslim lives to let this preference guide policy. Islamist backlash will increase that number.

The proportion of Americans fit for service is tiny. While the USAF (which never drafted) and Space Force easily meet recruiting goals they also don't require the number of mundane jobs other services do. The enormous support tail enabling modern warfighting can often be manned by lower quality troops.

The late draft era was a military disaster. One day some leadership imbeciles will bring it back but it's so easy to disqualify yourself from service without provable malingering mostly greater imbeciles would be drafted.

The "home lab" hobby proves their point. There is a large selection of used, reiliable tthin clients for very light appliance use and a wide range of "tiny" PCs (and other architectures) for users wanting as or more capable options complete with power supplies, cases etc and with good community support for mods and upgrades including 3D printed parts. Rugged industrial computers and network appliances are also abundant and increasingly well known thanks to enthusiast channels.

If I bought a bare Pi board I'd need much more than that to make it usable. I'd need to buy, scrounge or make those components. OTOH I can choose from any of many complete and partial prebuilt enterprise quality commercial systems made in vast quantiities and enabled by many options, accessory configurations, 3D-printed community parts.
and parts.

Pi moved to compete in a very competitive space. It's original niche was more specialized rather than being intended as a general purpose PC in a world full of used performant thin clients and tiny office PCs often powerful enough to game or easily modded. Enthusiasts wanting small size but higher performance often assemble small rack systems with each same-form factor tiny PCs.

For example they can quickly, easily and cheaply assemble a main PC for desktop use, a file server and a network appliance of choice. Even a rack or larger case is optional. (I stick my Lenovo tiny PCs together with flat magnets held to their parent component with double-sided industrial tapes like 3M VHB (also used in building Class 8 dry van and other trailer bodies instead of mechanical fasteners).

There are no victims here. I feel zero sympathy for anyone involved with any aspect of this.

Why do the mods never discuss why they're choosing to lazily enshittify Slashdot? The owners clearly fail to understand they would make vastly more profit by shitcanning these lazy saboteurs and choosing to return to Slashdot being a quality tech site.

People are turning down profit for whatever the reward is from an irrelevant, rudderless Slashdot that could make far more than the several million bucks it generated last year. That's not quite as hilariously stupid as Kaplan shutting down fuckedcompany in an age where it's highly relevant, but it's impressively silly.

Punching down, otherwise known as putting violent assholes in prison rather than leaving them out on the streets like the left wants to do.

Military service would do you a lot of good.

That's all you can come up with because Trump broke your brain.

Yup. Once the Left became the establishment, they started behaving in a far more authoritarian manner than the Right ever did.

TDS confirmed. Seek help while you still can.

Got it. So you're too TDS-addled to think clearly.

And which internet censorship bill did he introduce?

But the Glacier Bay is cheaper, thus its what most people want.

No, that would be "Palestine" and the terrorists that financially back them.

Why on earth would someone willingly implement a new Oracle system at this point in time?
