op: lemmy is so intolerant against my views!

insert untitled goose with a knife chasing op: what views, fucker?

it’s not always like this, but it happens so often i’m not surprised

Yeah and it’s a good signal about what each instance is like, and where to move to

it’s giving a chatbot, your pfp is genai slop, and by now i think you’ve been reliably informed that fedi in general is generally anti-ai. there is a couple of very good reasons why things are this way. if you don’t like this, you are free to fuck off to linkedin, lobsters, hn or some other corporate hellhole

very few instances have it enabled. calculating it from non-home instance is a bit pointless because heavily downvoted stuff tends to be moderated out and therefore inaccessible

if you mean downvotes in general, i think that’s a very good thing, because when you disagree with something, you can just downvote and move on, and when downvotes are out, it’s a shield for trolls and assholes, and additionally when disagreeing you feel compelled to comment instead and end up like hexbear

ferrets are already domesticated, but i think that having more of/some other domesticated weasel would be neat. imagine pet stoat, or mink, or perhaps wolverine

cheetahs were tamed by ancient egyptians, and even today you can find some random gulf sheikh with pet cheetah. the problem with domestication is that they’re very hard to breed in captivity

israel isn’t wedged between france and germany, and operating station like this undetected out of a car would be almost impossible even for professional

it’s all coming from a report of new numbers station popping up. some radio listeners dubbed it V32. it indeed transmits in farsi, and transmissions like this were historically used by spies

however, by now source of transmission was located somewhere between northern italy and netherlands, and iranian jammers try to disrupt its operations. that is, someone is transmitting from western europe towards iran, and iran doesn’t like it, meaning it’s not them. everybody writing “iran might be activating sleeper cells” as a response to this is full of shit or has no idea what they’re talking about (it might be just a psyop targeted at irgc and friends)

variety of guided weapons like jdam or hellfire are generally much cheaper (easily 10x or more) and more available than air defense interceptors, not even mentioning lead times for them (usaf has effectively unlimited jdams). what is happening now is bigger version of desert storm scud hunt. does it work? if you accept proxy measures, according to some randos on twitter that tally them, then missile-related air raid alerts in israel dropped significantly in first four days

your guess is correct. at minimum, truck needs to transport several meter long, couple to couple tens of tons heavy tube without destroying it, then put it upright, at some point input target location and launch, which requires some kind of communication with missile. solid fueled missile can be stored ready for launch, but liquid fueled missiles also require infrastructure to handle incredibly toxic and corrosive fuel
