  • Why aren't we seeing more gun systems vs drones?

    Jump

  • Its a similar problem in the cold war aircraft. They fly low, so the time for detection, identification, targeting and shooting is quite short. The gun can shoot out to a few km, but can only see low flying targets out to a few hundred meters.

    Gun systems only really work if you are defending a position targeting by the drone. Even then, you need a very large number of guns as each gun system only has an effective bubble of a few hundred meters against low flying drones.

    Ukraine has been doing very well with audio based detection to give advanced warning and using man portable weapons to shoot down drones. Russian drones have since started flying higher, which then opens then up radar detection, bigger gun systems and interceptor drones.

  • Only if it is linked to an online service or update service. In the absence of that they need to hard bake their enshitification strategy upfront.

  • ‘Worst nightmare’: anger and frustration as Gulf states bear brunt of war they did not start

    Jump

  • The US started building bases in the region starting in 1946.

    But the thing with bases is they are useful in many ways. There are rarely single purpose.

  • It is conplicated agreed.

    They certainly have enough agency to deal with the minor powers in the region. But Iran and Israel are too powerful to deal with, without some outside superpower.

    Back in the second Bush Era the Saudi's heavily influenced the US and were able to convince them to deal with Saddam

    But this time round it was the Zionists that contributed more. The Arab powers were also a lot more fragmented in terms of their strategy. They are rivals after all.

  • Isaac Asimovs first wave of colonists

  • Also have a look at Adrian Tchaikovsky's dogs of war and Children of time series.

    Its really scratching my Asimov itch of late.

  • As a thought exercise, I was considering what the other countries in the middle east could have done to avoid this conflict.

    I ended up with nothing reliable. They did not have sufficient power to address the problems in the Iranian regime. And even if they could, the US would likely just be attacking the next state on Israel's hit list and cause similar problems.

    The only thing that might have gotten close, is to outspend the Zionists in their interference in US politics.

  • Those bases were originally built to protect them from soviet imperialism

    Now its being used to forward Israeli imperialism.

    The irony.

  • Gay Muslim influencer hosts inclusive Ramadan meal and calls for acceptance across faiths

    Jump

  • Much like people say that in the USA today, Jesus would be killed for his beliefs, you would likey find the same to be true for many of those saints in the middle east.

    I think one needs to draw a distinction between religion as a belief and religion as a institution.

    Its not the belief that is the problem. People should be allowed to find their own meaning to life.

    The institution is where the problems lie.

  • The US are UK are poor examples of progressive western values. Look to Scandinavia and northern Europe for the best examples.

  • Its certainly easier to prevent hegemonic religions from forming if you have a more equal society.

    But hegemonic religion also maintains inequality, so you also need to combat it.

    Islam is certainly not alone in being uncivilized. Any religion that maintains inequality is barbaric.

  • Phone + linux distro with working VoLTE?

  • I know many grandparents that made the effort to stay in touch with Children and Grandchildren.

    They are not incapable of learning, they just need sufficient motivation and support.

    Something like signal is simpler and less likely to push slop their way.

    Also look at some of the simplified launchers available for android. It allows you to setup a locked down UI for them that hides everything they don't need.

    EDIT: I used BIG launcher in the past with my 84 year old grandfather to great success.

  • I also have hope that Europe with its significant immigrant population will transfer more moderate ideas back to their countries of origin.

    The more cultures mix the less chance there is for extreme views to take hold. Its easy to convince someone to attack someone who is different, if you have never met them.

  • I mean one that supports equal human rights, protection of women and children, social justice, outlawing discrimination based on leaving a religion and removes religion from government at all levels.

    So exactly not the christo nationalism, Zionist and Islamic systems that cause so many problems in the world.

    They make as if each is so special, but they are all just different flavours of the problematic system of control by the elite.

    An example to be immitated on mass.

  • Why is VoLTE important for you?

    If you are worried about privacy, you should not use normal phone services.

  • I guess this is the end.
