the synthesis is even funnier, that the Houthis successfully goaded the Americans into shooting down their own aircraft using the 5D chess tactic of flying their drones really close to planes making a landing approach.

Ironically what enabled this was the joint US-UK bombing raid on Sa'ana and Hodeidah port, intended to punish them for a ballistic missile strike on Tel Aviv earlier in the week.

Interesting because most of the Reddit front page is viral marketing nowadays.

Reddit ahh Lemmy instance

Yeah the video I saw seemed to be a MANPADS. Pantsir is probably being hidden somewhere until they can learn how to operate it (I'm sure the Ukrainian officers will help with translation!)

Still, IGLA aren't quite fast enough or long range enough to be a big threat to modern fixed wing aircraft. A Pantsir might be close range, but it definitely does fulfill a dangerous gap in the air defences of HTS.

don't think it's an industrial complex more than the natural self interest of western media companies wanting to dumb down any protest movement for its audience.

There's a lot at play, such as the general subconscious sexism that portrays women as meek and caring over the violent, selfish man. On average (talking out of my ass here) this means media will naturally bias towards using women in imagery portraying protests to evoke positive emotions, the same way we often see women being used to evoke something being a tragedy. Men may be used to make a protest seem scary or violent, or to make a tragic event look menacing - Just think of how we see women Vs men used in news articles about immigration/refugees!

There's also just the sex appeal. Young women with features appealing to white western audiences are going to be featured in protest photography more than the men. This bias is likely at every level - photographers will likely photograph women more, whilst editors will likely select women from that already biased selection of photos. It's compounding; Especially if these choices are actively biased rather than unconsciously so.

There are loads of interacting social forces behind what is filtered down and slapped on an article designed for clicks rather than any amount of deeper thought. You're more than likely picking up on one of the many ways we're fed a skewed version of reality from almost all fronts.

There was gunfire in Damascus too, no idea who between.

Assad is a fucking moron if he thought he could've let half of his share of Syria fall in a few days and not piss off people who just want the government to put up a fight.

Maybe because OPs title implies the fans weren't cheering for the death of Gazan kids, tearing down Palestinian flags, and generally threatening Muslims?

Not to mention many of the fans "attacked" were reservists for the IDF - actual fucking war criminals are being allowed to attend international football matches because the Dutch govt is complicit in genocide.

this rocks, but have you considered that Godot is woke now sir

This is by UK artist Darren Cullen, aka SpellingMistakesCostLives. He also runs the Museum of Neoliberalism in the UK and has done a bunch of anti war/army/MIC pieces. All in all a decent dude.

It was never about replacing C with a new language for the sake of novelty, it was about solving the large majority of security vulnerabilities that are inherent in memory-unsafe languages.

If Rust were to implode tomorrow, some other memory-safe language would come along and become equally annoying to developers who think they're the first and only person to suggest just checking the code really hard for memory issues before merge.
