Usually tear gas. I haven’t seen any reports to the contrary, yet.

Tear gas usage is a war crime and it’s also not harmless.

I think you nailed it. For me personally, if I move to PieFed, it’s not because I want to “hurt” the devs, it’s because I really don’t want to be part of what they stand for.

Yep. Ukraine has been hitting targets with smaller drones near Moscow, more or less, for about a year as far as I can remember.

Some of their early long range drones were basically small, slow flying airplanes, actually.

That needs to be in the form of a question, right?

It’s just a surface to air missile. 100 is quite a few, but considering how drones are used in this conflict, it’s probably not nearly enough.

They are likely reserved for last resort air defense closer to cities or areas where they really need to push back the Russian air force.

Patriot batteries are a bit on the expensive side, so their use is likely limited. If I am not mistaken, Ukraine did get a few batteries from other NATO countries and not just the US.

Instances don’t have to be federated and instances federate and defederate from each other often enough. The goals of instances may not align, and to keep conflict low(er) it’s better if some instances cut ties.

TBH, this sounds like a technical issue between ml and nl or just a typo in the way you are posting.

While I thought it was basically an on/off switch for defederation, I suppose there could be a way to block updates from instances without fully defederating.

I am not going to get into the drama, but ml is defederated at a little higher frequency, but it’s not as high as some others. It’s because reasons, and is not relevant to this particular thread.

But yes, Russians have been attempting to use road nets for at least 3-6 months or so that I am aware of. It made the news recently because Ukraine started using them.

Once any kind of hole is in the net, it’s basically game over until it’s repaired. Drones, as you would expect, can navigate some really small spaces. This would be a bit more problematic for drones that are controlled with fine fiber optic lines.

Bounces right off. I also have some ICBM netting if you are interested.

The idea behind mentioning specific YouTube and Instagram content is that you only view content you selected, not fed.

That is kind of a bitch since you need to find content for starters.

On that, you probably want an entire sub-infographic to explain Lemmy instances.

Here is a good starter template I found:

Excuse my ignorance of Mastodon then as I have only really used it a few times.

If you follow an account, do you have the option to disable notifications from that account?

Short form social media is basically a free-for-all. Hell, it functions more as a notification service than something like Lemmy.

Give my point of view expressed, a notification from anything is fine, bot or not. As long as the notifications are reasonable and easy for other users to block, sure. Knock yourself out. Have your bot notify us for whatever you want, with the understanding that I could just turn it off at anytime.

Fuck. Don’t do this.

Twitter comments were never the basis for articles and mastodon comments aren’t either. (Exceptions would be official sources. I am bitching about random comments from 420biscuitFucker69 showing that social media is BLOWING UP about pointless issues, which make up about 80% of all embedded tweets.)

It’s canola oil, for people who might be confused by the name.

“That one fucking instance” is also acceptable.

You know which one.

Qualitatively, GenAI shifts the nature of critical thinking toward information verification, response integration, and task stewardship.

Information verification is super important and probably just as important as raw critical thinking. However, when a person is stuck only validating shit output from genai, I could see that as a negative.

0.2mm is also a common layer height in 3D printing.

Meat on a stick.

It would be really interesting to see a fleet of glowing shlongs dropping out of the sky.
