Although, first confirmations...

It's not only what they did, but how they did it.

First of all the loss of this aircraft is substantial. They don't have many more of these aircraft and likely not all are operational at every time, especially now when it's hard to get parts. And these planes are full of western parts.

And another thing, is not like Russia can throw everything at Ukraine, it's got other borders to watch.

The second part is how they did it. They snuck into Russia with weapons and carried an embarrassing blow against a country that is basically fighting this war to keep its status as a super power. And this country that they don't even consider as a country did this to them from the inside. Thats just weak and it's there for everyone to see. This is shouting for everyone to hear: Russia is no super power, it's no power at all.

The worst as an adult is when you get sick and your kid gets sick as well. That's hell.

Funny. I'm thinking some people made a lot of money.

On the other hand, I think Lemmy folks would be pleased, that an ai company didn't harm the environment 😀

I pirate everything. I started more than 35 years ago when I didn't have any other option because of my location, so it became the norm. Later, I didn't have much money and I didn't want to spend it on software and games. Later I just stuck with it. I never delved into ethics of it - it seems a very tedious task to do.

I did buy some stuff here and there. But even today, id pirate games for sure, in not going to dish out 50, if I don't even know if I'll like it.

Interestingly, never in my life I had issues with viruses or malware. Sure I got some, but the basic antivirus software delt with it and I had no consequences.

It really sucks that we got this war at the same time as ai. If we didn't have this war, ai weapons would be untested for years in domain of US and China. And even them would probably have a limited number of them, possibly so overengineered that nobody would think of mass scale usage. Now this f**cked up weapon is really a necessity.

Can't get that star trek TNG episode out of my mind.

♥️ Lwaxana!

Here in former Yugoslavia, we got one original copy that got distributed to (probably) the whole country. Old times were so fun.

Yeah but nobody buys it at full price. You can get it for 35 by just asking. Thats most likely not the highest subscription of the person using their apps.

And I don't want to defend them at all. Finally I don't need them anymore after almost 20 years. Stoked about it.

That works. I think I could probably get away with using Inkscape instead of illustrator, but it would be a struggle, because with it I can't copy paste vectors to other apps. InDesign is completely alone in it's category.

Adobe is the standard everyone uses. You can't be a pro and collaborate without it.

It's like 35€ per month. There are so many subscriptions out there now. Everything is a subscription. 35€ isn't even that much anymore, considering all the apps you get.

Exactly, you are not their target user.

Many people, including myself until recently, would also do a lot to rid themselves of adobe, but for us it just isn't possible.

On the other hand, their subscription isn't that high, compared to so many other subscriptions.

You would be wrong. There is nothing close to Photoshop and many others. Sadly that is the case.

I got double hernia from working on the computer. I started doing exercises and got this chair called spinalis and was good ever since.

Extremely interesting. Some technical challenges remain, but so many applications if solved.

Great thread, thanks everyone

Crazy video. Man, you can get video of everything today. Glad he's ok, he's a true patriot.

Nice to get some positive news

But Twitter now has a legit alternative that many have gone to. Unfortunate that's not mastodon, but still.

It's beyond me that after all this people are still using Twitter

I still don't get it. Why this? Why not skyblivion?
