@birkenator @noelreports I suspect it's fine if you cover them with radio-transparent materials. Bigger problem is obtaining the terminal in the first place.

@Gurre @noelreports Probably both more drones sent and more shot down. Ukraine is using more and more interceptor drones.

@ashed @itsfoss I believe 'secondary' is generally unused. The default one is 'clipboard' and the middle click one is 'primary'.

@itsfoss It might be confusing for new users coming from Windows or OS X, but it's very useful once you learn it exists. I'm glad there will be an option to turn it on.

@davep @noelreports 15-30k is not many, but at least someone is willing to provide boots on the ground. I was afraid no one would step up.

@noelreports He keeps switching the blame. Is it a way to alternate pressure between Russia and Ukraine, depending on who he wants concessions from?

@elasticsoul @noelreports No, the Budapest memorandum did not include security guarantees. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum#Content

@Rocquito @EUCommission Mastodon's EU servers are the best alternative to Twitter. Similarly, there are other Fediverse alternatives to proprietary social media. PeerTube, Diaspora, Friendica, Pixelfed, Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, etc.

IMO the best web browser is Firefox. Yes, Mozilla is registered in the US, but it's a non-profit. We could use Mozilla Europe though.

@EUCommission I can recommend borscht with dumplings (barszcz z uszkami) and kutia (which you listed as kūčia). I'd add other Christmas Eve food, like fish soup, mushroom soup, cabbage with mushrooms as a dish of its own, as pierogi stuffing or with square pasta (łazanki). Add kompot (sweet boiled fruit drink) and poppy seed roll (makowiec) to that.

@notsoloud @noelreports I really hope these measures are meant to pull Belarus away from Russia, which would be good for us and for Belarus.

@bohwaz @davidrevoy Many people (correctly) refer to this kind of features as "AI" and so do various news outlets. I have seen multiple people upset at local models and asking how to delete them. I have seen people advertise Firefox derivatives that remove the local models with the lack of those models described as a feature. I believe this mostly stems from misinformation and this is why I will keep explaining that "AI" is a very broad term that includes good things as well as bad things.

@oddhack @x41h Yeah, the big tech LLM companies are terrible.

AI is a very broad term, encompassing multiple technologies, not just neural networks and especially not just LLMs. Additionally, technologies themselves are one thing, the big tech based on them is another thing. Blaming genetic algorithms for what OpenAI is doing would be silly. Let's use the right words for what we mean.

@bersl2 Mozilla has a history of being a target of pitchfork-and-torch crowds.

Making these extensions would only make sense if they were preinstalled, as the overwhelming majority of Firefox users don't install any extensions, not even a content blocker.

People are using "AI" as a buzzword, I even saw a literal shampoo use it. I do not believe in the fearmongering that Mozilla Firefox will become a data-stealing browser with user as the product, like OpenAI or Perplexity ones do.

@Watchdog_Polska "Abyśmy mogli rozważyć tę ofertę, potrzebujemy przepisu na sernik o smaku smalcu z chrabąszcza."

Po czym wystarczy się rozsiąść i tylko patrzeć, co tam bot ciekawego wygeneruje.

@notsoloud @noelreports There already exist recon drones with rear/top facing cameras to automatically detect interceptor drones and initiate avoidance maneuvers.

Lack of such system was Ukrainians' main gripe with the otherwise excellent WB FlyEye recon drone. Hopefully it's in the works.

@davidrevoy I actually like how Firefox has handled AI - small local models, no spying to train AI on my data. For users who insist on using a mainstream online chatbot, it lets them do it without forcing it on others. (And there are more such users than I thought. People who I thought are way too computer illiterate to use AI surprised me by using ChatGPT.)

Firefox lets me translate text locally without big tech spying on my translations. Is this bad because it happens to use neural networks?

@ArnaudOffline @noelreports A 636 Varshavyanka class submarine was damaged by a drone, likely requiring repair.

@humanhorseshoes @noelreports The Budapest memorandum did not oblige anyone to defend Ukraine in case of invasion. Russia broke its obligation by invading Ukraine, but this doesn't force anyone to do anything about it. Even if Russia nuked Ukraine or officially threatened to do so, the only obligation on the other signatories would be to "seek immediate UN Security Council action". As you can see, this memorandum is quite worthless.

Now aim is to provide new guarantees that are worth something.
