Ukraine’s celebrated startup defense model has reached its limits. While effective for rapid, low-complexity production early in the war, it has proven incapable of scaling or competing against a centralized, industrial-scale warfare.

A zoo of incompatible drones and systems lacks the integration, quality control, and strategic focus needed for long-term conflict.

Artisanal workshops cannot match state-directed production in volume, resilience, or technological depth.

Attention Canadians, French people, and anyone outside the United States: Microsoft says your country's data protection laws are void and null if the US government says so. Microsoft will turn over any and all information about you to the US government at that government's request no matter what your country's laws say. Time to stop using Microsoft if you value your own privacy and your nation's sovereignty.

And hey, fellow Americans: time for you to stop using Microsoft, too, and start putting your data overseas in the servers of non-American countries. The only way any of us are going to protect our privacy is to have as little to do with our own country as is possible, and in the digital realm, there's actually a lot we can do. My Mastodon server is not the US. My personal server and email is not in the US. My company email is not in the US. I don't use Google or Meta at all, and the only thing I "use" Microsoft for is Visual Studio, which I'm even moving away from now that I'm getting out of programming for good.

Take back your privacy by boycotting the companies willing to spy on you, either for their own profit or for the corrupt, fascist American government.

It’s ironic that the West initially believed it would spearhead the renewable energy transition and reap the economic rewards.

Yet, as soon as it became clear that China would lead the renewable revolution, their feigned commitment to environmentalism evaporated almost overnight.

Suddenly, Western governments began doubling down on fossil fuels and imposing sweeping bans on Chinese-made solar panels and wind turbines, prioritizing geopolitical competition over climate action.

in reply to EtherealResonance

@EtherealResonance it's obvious that they do care about the environment given that most reforestation globally has been happening in China and the fact that they're greening deserts right now.

Also, evidently you'd prefer China used fossil fuel instead of hydro. Not sure how slowing earth rotation by the dam affects the environment in your head.

Finally, yeah China has other practical reasons to develop clean energy. Doesn't detract from the fact that they are doing it.

The troubling ways a heatwave can warp your mind

17 August 2020
Zaria Gorvett

"It was July 1988. Across the United States, the land was simmering in the warmest summer on record. City dwellers swarmed onto beaches, electricity use was higher than ever as people cranked up the air conditioning and the freeways were lined with broken-down, overheated vehicles. Ice lollies melted before they could be eaten.

"But something else was happening too.

"In fact, 1988 wasn’t just a year of record-breaking sunshine, but also record-breaking violence. There were an unprecedented number of murders, rapes, armed robberies and assaults – around 1.56 million of them. Could there have been a link between the weather and the general trend for violence?

"People have suspected that warm weather can alter our behaviour for centuries. The idea is embedded into our very language – we talk of tempers 'flaring', 'incandescent' rage, getting 'hot under the collar' – and Shakespeare described 'mad blood stirring' in the oppressive heat of a Verona summer back in 1597.

"The earliest studies into the phenomenon emerged in the late 19th Century, coinciding with the first reliable crime statistics. According to one analysis, offences against people tended to peak in the summer months, while crimes against property were found to be more common in the winter.

"Since then, the evidence has been piling up.

"Every year, as the mercury rises, we undergo a collective transformation. Some of the symptoms are relatively minor – people are more likely to honk their horns when they’re stuck in traffic; the police usually notice a spike in disorderly behaviour; and we’re less likely to help strangers out.

"But others are more disconcerting.

"The global heatwave of 2018 – which led to widespread #droughts and unusually high numbers of Arctic #wildfires; drove reindeer to Finland’s beaches; and even shrunk a mountain in Sweden – was also associated with some alarming human occurrences. In the UK, there were a record number of 999 calls, with one police officer commenting that the public react 'very strangely' to that kind of weather. In some areas, police reported that calls were up 40%.

"Of course, this is all heavily anecdotal – and there are plenty of alternative explanations for these individual incidents. But the wider correlation appears to be supported by a weight of academic research from around the world.

"In the UK, between April 2010 and 2018, there was 14% more violent crime at 20C than there was at 10C. In Mexico, there is more organised crime in warmer weather – and some academics suspect this is because it creates a 'taste for violence'. In South Africa, scientists have discovered that, for every degree that the temperature goes up, there is a 1.5% increase in the number of murders. In Greece, one study found that more than 30% of 137 homicides reported in a particular region occurred on days with an average temperature of more than 25C.

"Similar patterns involving violent crime and heat have also been observed Sub-Saharan Africa, Taiwan, the United States, Finland, and Spain… the list goes on. In all, the effect has been demonstrated in hundreds of scientific studies."

George Perros’ Article: “Some issues about the war in the Middle East” #WFTU wftucentral.org/george-perros-…

[SOLVED] how to increase the /home partition


Hello!
I have a /home partition that is almost full, and there is another partition nearby with a lot of free space. I would like to reduce the size of this neighboring partition and add the freed space to /home. I would like to do this safely, without using a Live USB or bootable flash drive. Is this possible?

upd:
gparted just worked(through a live usb stick)! Sometimes I try to use symlinks, but not this time 😀
Thanks everyone!

This is the fun part of social media: you can find monumental idiots who actually push the flat earther bullshit - along with antisemitism and porn. While insisting that porn was invented by Jews and is intended to destroy white people 🤣🤣🤣

Right, @marshajeanfarmandranch

So she got offended when I pointed out that the earth is 100% a planet. She thinks that she is "enlightened" by being stuck in pre-Erastostenes days and she actually thinks that "government is brainwashing us" with the information that we live on a planet 🙄🤦‍♂️

She actually calls it a "New concept". Most common among primitive societies.

She, like most stupid people, thinks that search engines are sources. 🤦‍♂️

Seriously, WTF?

The FACT that people sail RIGHT AROUND THE PLANET doesn't even reach your brain, does it?

The first one was Magellan, but ANYONE with an ocean-going boat can do it!

Lots and lots of people actually did.

britannica.com/biography/Ferdi…

Ferdinand Magellan (born 1480, Sabrosa or Porto?, Portugal—died April 27, 1521, Mactan, Philippines) was a Portuguese navigator and explorer who sailed under the flags of both Portugal (1505–13) and Spain (1519–21). From Spain, he sailed around South America, discovering the Strait of Magellan, and across the Pacific. Though he was killed in the Philippines, one of his ships continued westward to Spain, accomplishing the first circumnavigation of Earth. The voyage was successfully terminated by the Basque navigator Juan Sebastián del Cano.

It si interesting how everyone seem to "know" what fascism is. But rarely anyone bother to go to the source.

Why look up what the actual Fascists said and done when U can just go to Jew controlled wikipedia, perhaps the most anti nationalistic instance there is?

Or why even go that far, why don't just make up Ur own mind and hallucinate something based on feelings?

because according to Jewish plagiarist and pseudoscientist Albbert Einstein "everything is relative and subjective"?

Dream on.

Under Fascism Jews where banned from spreading anti white propaganda in Italy and in Germany

Communist propaganda that was a foreign interference since it was a Jewish political propaganda movement with a very bloody outcome was banned

After witnessing what Communism had done to Russia

But today we mock and laugh about Fascism while we are instead banned from criticizing Jews in politic, media, banking

Now the majority is silenced and retards think it's the same

Yes promoting homosexuality was banned under fascism. Due to Jews pushing for Trans, gender swapping, homosexuality and pedophilia to such an extent that we can hardly imagine today.

Even though they are doing it again.

So yes. Anti Fascism and being a faggot goes hand in hand.

Little children where prostituting themselves.
Fascism put an end to that.

Pedophiles, faggots and Jews hate Fascism.

And those who are too lazy to learn what it is.
