I remember someone here made a detailed list of how lots of the early linux FOSS stuff was essentially ripoff of unix software lol. I think XFCE was originally a knockoff of CDE or something with XForms. Now it's the de facto performance DE and the default on Kali.

Due to PII in the dataset and the inclusion of groups and messages unrelated to government or corporate behavior, the data is currently only being offered to journalists and researchers. Request access

I just wanna know if there was anything interesting on recent events like what went down with the India-Pakistan BVR fight and subsequent ceasfire.

It’s like you pull every bad take from Reddit and dial it to 10x

Said the lemm.ee user lmao

I always love the cognitive dissonance people have seeing others hope that a man directly responsible for a metric ton of civilian deaths, succumbing to a painful death, is not ethically correct.

I mean people seem to have zero issue with United Healthcare. Exorbitant Healthcare costs is the equivalent of death, but literally bombing hospitals and refugee camps isn't?

Not to mention that he'll be receiving the latest and greatest in medical aid anyway, so there's a fair chance he'll survive. A lot of geriatric asshat world leaders contracted covid and still lived.

I can't even tell if this is DNC shilling because several people have implied they would treat Trump the same. Wth kind of moral compass are yall following lol?

Some people actually use the tag feature so that they remember users when they see them again lol

So basically just knockoff reddit then?

Hey I came back to this after we didn't see Tejas or F-16s lol.

Rafales didn't seem to like the J-10s though ;)

Dumbass it's Pakistan that uses Chinese weapons not India. Not only that but they claim to have shot down 5 IAF aircraft with 3 confirmed via videos and pictures on the ground.

Even if you didn't want to sepnd the 5 seconds reading the summary, it has been well known that China and India are economic enemies of each other. India gets most of its stuff from Russia because China wouldn't sell to them in a million years.

Moreover its a big deal because they shot down at least one Rafale which is fairly well established NATO/western fighter, which showcases Chinese tech isn't coming slow.

The operation is over now, if you want the latest details, I begrudgingly suggest following the posts on r/Pakistan because there's barely a Pakistani community on lemmy.

Still active drones crossing the border, a ton of them shot down with lots of pictures and videos. Several videos of India and Pakistan's airbases getting targeted and/or hit by missiles.

India lost 3 jets already during their attack, but they seem to be penetrating Pakistan's airspace well with drones and at the very least reaching close to critical targets.

There's also a very unconfirmed report of a pilot captured due to a video of what appears to be a parachute, but neither India nor Pakistan has made claims of any shot down jets today.

Dawg that's how BVR fights work.

It's still a dogfight, you don't just sit there and let the missile do all the work.

Even before the crazy new range of China's PL-15, PAF was using AIM-120s and shot down a MiG-21 5 years ago.

Every airforce hides their tactics but you can open any DCS video using BVR missiles to see how difficult it can get

Fun stuff

It's always funny seeing these silicon valley startups have essentially zero retained employees and engineers except the CEO.

All money machines built on the backs of long gone engineers that only exist because they've cornered their share of the oligopoly market.

Meanwhile weather radar going AWOL because my 5Ghz WiFi used the DFS channel lol

They still do.

The nice thing about being on lemmy is that these morons get shredded even in the .world community when they roll in with the "ThIs iS wHaT yOu gEt FOr vOTiNg tRuMp" as if Biden didn't just full send a 15 month long destruction and killing of Gaza.

UK being satisfactory even though its best journalism is crapload BBC and Sky News which is still a plume of smoke that came out of Murdoch's bum.

tbf ATGMs only make tanks infeasible if you have a massive supply of them continuously distributed to infantry units (and the latest fancy ones that aim for non ERA weakspots and have CCM against APS), which is what most if not all militaries struggle with.

Plus tanks get a huge buff in their effectivness when properly paired with IFVs and infantry, which can significantly diminish and counter ATGMs (and drones).

Too lazy to check if actual Zionist or Indian larping as a Zionist lmao

3rd world immigrants watching the 3rd world dictator experience come to the US lol.

Next the Pentagon will release a national we love the American government song lmao

Wait till you try fish or zsh loaded with all the fancy plugins lol
