Check https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html In general, even if it's submitted, it's up to a bunch of clicks on the small arrows to keep it on the first page, and other submissions might win instead. Even if there was a "it must be about hardware or software" rule, that wouldn't be such a bad thing, otherwise we'd just end up getting another reddit.

Can we, like, stop killing each other for a day or two? Isnt it obvious already that war leads to an endless cycle of war? Attackers attack, defenders defend, the loser then seeks revenge, then they become the attacker, and potentially the winner, then the former winner becomes the loser seeking revenge and so on. We have like endless space to colonise yet we fight for land here on earth as if we wont all eventually…

Learn some empathy. Or next time something happens to your country I'm gonna feel the same.
There's another big factor at play: it's become increasingly easier to film yourself in combat and now encouraged by leadership for propaganda reasons. I've been going to r/combatfootage everyday for the past ~3 years; it has exploded in popularity because like a lot of things in life, war is now recorded and disseminated wide. The ukraine war, specifically with drones outfitted with explosives, has shown this. GoPro…

There's few activities I can think of that are worse for your mental health. Consider taking a break from the fear/gore porn.

The only way this stops is if it evolves out of us. That would take many thousands of years, but I don't think there's even selection pressure for this to happen. Actually, I think it's likely the opposite and we'll never lose the trait.
Well, the Israelis did cut power to the Gaza strip. Hamas of course expected this and probably has many backup generators and satellite links to keep online. As for the civilians...
