“Israeli soldiers have described a free-for-all in Gaza and a breakdown in norms and legal constraints, with civilians killed at the whim of individual officers, according to testimony in a TV documentary.

“If you want to shoot without restraint, you can,” Daniel, the commander of an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tank unit, says in Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel’s War, due to be broadcast in the UK on ITV on Monday evening.

Some of the IDF soldiers who talked to the programme requested anonymity while others spoke on the record. All pointed to the evaporation of the official code of conduct concerning civilians.

The soldiers who agreed to talk confirmed the IDF’s routine use of human shields, contradicting official denials, and gave details of Israeli troops opening fire unprovoked on civilians racing to reach food handouts at the militarised distribution points set up by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).”

Did you know that elementary OS isn’t a remix or spin distribution? We build our images from metapackage seeds 📦 🌱

And now with the release of @debian Trixie—woo congrats 🎉—we’re using the latest version of Debian Livebuild to put together our operating system. This allows us to clean up our builds for multiple CPU architectures like ARM!

Firefox has dived into AI!

Be careful: fake emails are circulating in the name of Free/Libre and Open Source projects. Below, an email received by @kdenlive that the official team does not recognize. Be vigilant, these are no doubt scams.

We now provide nightly builds for Phosh and some related 📦 targeting #Debian Trixie thus making the current development
versions easier to test on Debian and Debian based distributions like @mobian (and hopefully in the future #PureOS):
