Majority of Reported Drone Incidents in Europe Not Linked to Russia


Out of approximately 60 reported sightings in 11 countries from August to November, only four — in Poland, Romania and Moldova — involved confirmed Russian drones that were either shot down by NATO aircraft or identified through recovered debris, the newspaper reported.

Trouw, which reviewed dozens of incidents using the platform Dronewatch, said the origin of 40 reported sightings could not be verified at all, with no visual, radar or debris evidence to confirm a drone’s presence.

At least 14 reports were later attributed to ordinary aircraft, helicopters, ships or even stars. A map compiled by Trouw showed three hobby or tourist drones and 11 other objects that were ultimately deemed not to be drones.

Can we not pretend? Sometimes hard to definitively identify a drone that was shot down. And a copied Iranian drone could be hard to pin down too. But we all know and can see who sent them.
in reply to Bell

Look at the countries supposed Russian drones where "sighted", if you truly believe Russia sent drones to France, Spain, Norway, or any of the western or northern most countries you are delusional.

What It's Like to Work for the Billionaire Nickel King


in reply to Ghostalmedia

conveniently, a US nickel ways about 5 grams, so that'd be at least 100 million kilograms of nickels. for comparison, the us mint only produced about 566,000 kilograms of nickels in 2024. at that rate, it would take 176 years to produce a billion dollars worth of nickels. i strongly doubt that there exist that many nickels in existence.


Mmm...

Today's protest round up is an epic one ...
Starting in Santiago de Compostela, where thousands are in the street today to protest a giant cellulose factory which will pollute their local environment and use millions of gallons of water.

This makes perfect rational sense, I am going to base my whole identity on curved lines.

Unironically, studying economics while caring about other people is what radicalized me. It's just not that hard

I know the US doesn't allow internal studying of gun violence statistics ~because~ ~reasons~ but I feel like we can start making some disturbing extrapolations based on the extremely disturbingly high number of people who've survived MULTIPLE school shootings at this point.

who wants to bet personal computers will become permanently unaffordable for regular people, and they will sell it back to us through a cloud subscription?

Yeah, honestly that seems like the most likely option. You get a glorified dumb terminal that accesses a compute instance under corporate control.

Old multiplayer


So general solutions are welcome, but a friend and I are both craving the old blizzard RTS games. The problem is: fuck that company, and they probably use a rootkit anti-cheat anyway

So is there a general solution for multiplayer in old PC games without company support, and is there a particular solution for, say, starcraft2?

For all their faults they don't use kernel level anti cheat. Both StarCraft 1 and 2 are free. StarCraft 1 should at least have LAN play.
in reply to cassandrafatigue

Parsec is probably what you need. Me and my brother played through BG1 (for ps2 I believe) with an emulator and parsec. For the most part there was no lag. We simulated us both playing on his computer the same way you would play couch co-op, just in different areas.


Rain and rubble: Gaza families face a double threat in makeshift homes

Rain and rubble: Gaza families face a double threat in makeshift homes


By Ahmed Dremly in Gaza City, occupied Palestine

Since winter began, Saber has lived in constant fear. Their fragile tent offered little protection from rain or wind, and he knew it could collapse at any moment.

Two weeks earlier, rainwater had already flooded the tent, reaching nearly 30cm. His daughters fell ill with colds that lasted for days. Desperate to prevent it from happening again, Saber borrowed money from one of his relatives to buy a plastic tarpaulin and reinforced the tent with wooden poles.

But when the latest storm hit Gaza a few days ago, his efforts proved useless.

“I spent the first night of the rain holding the tent up with my own hands as rain poured in from every direction,” Saber told Middle East Eye.

“It felt like I had done nothing at all. The tent collapsed on us in the first hours of the rain.”
