A symbolic gesture at best I suppose, but noted war criminal Igor Girkin was sentenced to life in absentia for shooting down MH17. I feel like I haven't seen any vlogs from him bitching out Putin and Shoigu for a while now? Last I heard he was back at the front with the Ukrainians having but a bounty on him. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/mh17-judgment-day-verdicts-due-suspects-trial-93466382

M_Gargantua posted:Direct lay indirect fire for armor penetration That would just be direct fire. Tracking... Set.... Tracking... Set... *pulls string* the three types of direct fire are, direct fire, steel rain and ICM-in-the-wire. I felt something pop typing that and I can taste copper and remember the smell, the taste of cannon fire... Edit: fun fact, ICM In The Wire is when you load an ICM round, a base ejector with 88 bomblets, load your highest charge powder, set the timed fuze, point it straight up, fire and run. Its for when you're being overrun and requires a high degree of compotency to pull off. By which I mean any USMC and most US Army batteries could pull it off. I'm pretty sure if Russia tried they'd kill themselves trying to load the gun. Steezo fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Nov 18, 2022 |

I think Elons just convinced that his success is all due to how brilliant he personally is. So, he just assumed he could ‘fix’ Twitter with a little bing-bam-boom and voila. That fixing Twitter meant showing everyone else that he’s right about his ideas in general and specifically stuff he’s been mocked for like for Ukraine and Russia and his billionaire right wing chums and his ideas on repressing labor and etc.. It’s internet nerd won’t back down from a bad argument as performed by someone who can act out on a vast scale with a healthy dash of, “I could make a ton of money selling space services and electric cars in Russia so, I’ll lean their way when I can”

Everything up to now aligns with his messianic ego and fart huffing about his abilities as a "leader/businessman". 2) There's other methods for OSINT than twitter and it's probably good that it will be forced to not depend on a single company now subject to the whims of a new man-child (the Jack dude before Elon wasn't better in terms of views, only smarter in trying to monetize the platform). 3) Unless the Russians take down the rest of the social media ecosystem and traditional media, I don't think there's much chance they can keep their lovely performance in the war a secret. As if that cat wasn't already out of the bag.

No, actually Twitter was a significant driver of OSINT, not a small time player at all. It will be a significant detriment to the community https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status/1593508571563581440?s=20&t=T-e1V1axC5Nx99hkO9W9qg 3. Twitter was also a significant way to highlight Russian abuses and fight Russian propaganda, so disagree here too: Its a significant blow to open trade of information that Ukraine thrived on to fight that.

But there's nothing inherent about the Twitter platform that allows all that. It's not like it has certain tools that other platforms don't have or could have

It's not like it has certain tools that other platforms don't have or could have Twitter had one of the lowest barriers of entry, and some of the easiest discovery of content out of any platform that has ever existed. It's lightweight, too, so you can view it on anything that can run Doom. Of course, twitter's destruction doesn't mean that it can't be replaced with something essentially identical. The main barrier is the extensive adoptation by the public.

It will be a significant detriment to the community Even if true, that still highlights a weakness with depending solely on a service that is privately owned and not (as it probably should have been) a public utility/good. Russian abuses can be highlighted on any website that allows video uploads and there are sites that get far more eyeballs and traffic than twitter. That's not even getting into the fact that Facebook is by far the biggest pusher of RU propaganda to your average person; hell the whole internet spent years arguing about the effect it had on the 2016 election. Twitter can't even beat Pinterest in monthly active users. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1294865/time-spent-mobile-social-apps-worldwide/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/272014/global-social-networks-ranked-by-number-of-users/ BadOptics fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Nov 18, 2022 |

The Pinterest comment made me chuckle. I don't use it, don't have an account (At least I don't think I do...), yet constantly see it show up in search results. I'm not sure who these Pinner people are, but they post all day every day.

Also, as an aside, I really wish musk would buy Pinterest and kill it like he's doing Twitter but even faster. Not only is image searching a loving nightmare when Pinterest is added, but I work in weddings. Pinterest alone has destroyed more wedding plans and caused more explosions of anger at weddings, then alcohol.

Mastodon is reminding me of why I loving despise the cargo cult around dEcEnTrAlIzEd aPpLiCaTiOnS. Not only are the communities siloed as gently caress, they each have to bear the burden of ramping up their own infrastructure? Anything worth doing is worth doing at scale, but it's absolutely essential they then be protected from clowns like Musk waltzing in and setting them on fire.
