DNC normally "3rd parties don’t function in our two party system, there’s no point in voting for them

DNC after losing their own primary: 3rd party it is

Lol I remember Dunkey complaining about this guy and twitch streamers in general showing up to E3 because “The only Twitch streamer that plays games is Pete Dorr, and he wasn’t even on there”

Choice between chemical weapons dictator or literally a former Al-Qaeda member.

Poor Syria

I mean they theoretically can but they’d have to hide one under like a false rock, keep the radar off until they somehow know an F-35 is very close, flick it on and then hope that’s close enough for a track and launch.

Israel has huge intel on where their SAM sites are located in real time, so this already makes it near impossible.

A better solution would be a fully integrated radar system with a modern airforce to run and protect it, but that’s expensive and would require years of buildup.

Then you could use some stacked radar tricks to identify F-35s from further out, and use data link to avoid alerting them on RWR. It would still be hard just due to the low RCS so any non stealth fighters would likely be prime targets as the F-35s slip by.

A military enforced trade blockade is too much for some people to handle who think battling a state responsible for genocide can be done without violence… which is exactly what a military specializes in.

Of course now that the US has gone home, no one is there to intercept all the antiship missiles, so any vessel aiming for Israel should really take the alternative route.

Kind of a lazy question, but are any of these protocols substantial over 802.11, especially if you just use p2p/adhoc/mesh modes?

I haven’t touched mobile networks in a while so I’ve forgotten a lot, but iirc the main concern of mesh networks was efficient routing (which has been solved with some cool algorithms) and power efficiency for devices transmitting (again could have sworn 802.11 and even bluetooth can already achieve this).

Zigby particularly stood out as annoying to me as it includes its own 2.4ghz physical layer stack which uses the same range as WiFI, which is already overcrowded as hell and relies on some CSMA/CA magic to make even the most apartment crowded area of APs function decently.

Pakistan’s Field Marshall: well shit

Mwuahahaha I got so many of these

Edit:

They say the campaign included viral posts on social media, manipulated imagery showing supposed Rafale debris, AI-generated content and video-game depictions to simulate supposed combat. More than 1,000 social media accounts newly created as the India-Pakistan clashes erupted also spread a narrative of Chinese technological superiority, according to French researchers who specialize in online disinformation.

French military officials say they haven’t been able to link the online Rafale-bashing directly to the Chinese government.

This is just internet sledging from actual users lmao

The “pilot error” in question

Also not a Rafale, but you get the idea of IAF’s reputation:

https://x.com/MenchOsint/status/1921608777687560535

Yes 4 jets were confirmed shot down with 1 proven to be a Rafale, 1 Mirage, 1 Su-30MKI, and a MiG-29. US confirmed 2 French origin jets were shot down but didn’t specify which ones, Pakistan still claims they shot down 3 Rafales total on top of the other 3.

There’s several good sources of the entire air battle and the key aspect being the BVR kill chain, meaning the Rafale isn’t necessarily a bad jet.

But Dassault suffered an immediate loss in stock value and potential sale clout right after the battle ended and both sides had their debrief.

As much as I’m going to make fun of the other reply in this thread for trying to cover up getting slammed by a PL-15 as “pilot error”, this really has more to do with the modern methodology of air combat which the IAF was not prepared for due to their lack of a dynamic integrated electronic platform.

Their Rafale purchase was already a knee jerk response to their loss in 2019 when a MiG-21 pilot was shot down by the PAF and captured.

France sold them a guarantee of quality, but they didn’t buy a full package with AWACS, EW, etc because it was already extremely expensive with each jet and armaments coming in at 300 million USD.

Now that Russia is no longer selling big weapons due to their war in Ukraine, India is really stuck in a tight spot because foreign tech will always be very expensive, and their homegrown projects under HAL have never really taken off or been battle proven (ex: their Tejas jet).

Doyee, people called USAID’s NGOs a lazy way for the CIA to fund their operations lol

Pakistan’s ISI:

Does jellyfin do untranscoded video/audio?

Haven’t used it in years but finally building up my media server again and I remember it had some funky settings for hardware encoding back then which I didn’t need because I was connecting to it via a repurposed gaming laptop that could easily handle 4k content and surround sound by itself.

Right there’s actually like a select few applications that support it which is cool, but so many get confused when they see an apng file with frames.

concentration camps and millions being stripped of health insurance and food assistance

So like Gaza?

Because I’m pretty sure this was the logic for people who refused to vote that this very community spent an entire year assuring me was a bunch of tankie bots from ml.

I got banned from one of the NCD communites (not world, different instance) here for insinuating the US doesn’t want Ukraine to join NATO lol

I mean really they don’t, I’m pretty sure 180 just voted against the impeachment of Trump. Literally just waiting to see which shill geriatric they’ll put up for 2028 and pull the same “vote for us or suffer Republicans” bs for the next election.

I keep saying that if progressives in the DNC are being constantly blocked and cheated out of power, they need to split off and make their own party. They’re afraid that if they do, they’ll lose a majority against Republicans, but that’s already true because even bargain basement protection laws barely pass when the Dems do have a majority in congress, and they actively support bs Republican bills when a minority like right now.

Splitting would render the DNC useless and simultaneously tap into the huge block of nonvoters that would turnout like how Mamdani’s voter base was largely a grassroots campaign.

Right, the conclusion that the US can’t resupply missiles fast enough is a fallacy unless you know for sure you can affect the supply chain invovled.

They only have that many because they don’t need that many, but if you think you’re gonna win a war by expecting the US to run out of ammo against even a swarm of cheap drones, you’re in for a rude awakening.

I think only China could output higher production in full wartime scenario, and even they know it’s not much of an advantage if their tech doesn’t stack up.

Actually Pakistan sold the centrifuge technology to Iran and NK, but the US has ensured they are no longer friendly to allow further assistance.

Iran just needs to hunker down and make it quickly like NK did if they want it.
