I’m pretty sure they are literally buying tons of them from China. What are you even on. There aren’t any restrictions there because that’s part of their neutrality. Otherwise I’m done cause this is absurd.

It’s quite easy for people who know what they’re doing to repurpose processors and components in consumer devices? And, you can also buy almost whatever cpu/component you want on Amazon too if you know what you’re looking for?

Otherwise, as I mentioned I don’t like it as a category because it leads to this silliness. At one point Israel was blocking all concrete imports to Gaza under dual use reasoning, and although I don’t like them one bit they kind of had a point. But, you also kinda need it if you want to build modern structures.

I’d assume NATO’s largely talking about machining equipment, electronics, and drones though. But, I don’t think they actually clarified anything? And while Ukraine itself probably doesn’t have much military use for the first two as any military plant would probably get hit, with how prominently drones have featured in this war they definitely fall under dual use.

What do you think dual use means?

I mean, if you explicitly want dual use stuff which is always a weird category: https://www.businessinsider.com/us-drones-glitching-getting-lost-in-ukraine-picking-chinese-ones-2024-4

Also can’t really see China turning off the taps on these exports considering they’re a world leader in it and it’s a pretty key tech.

They’re literally one of Ukraine’s largest trading partners if not the largest. Has even all lead to goofy shit where you’ll see stuff like having both Ukrainian and Russian reviews on (previously?) uncontrolled equipment like night vision goggles on Chinese sites. Otherwise their general policy response to all this has been to tamp down on equipment exports like that for everyone, everywhere.

They also trade on the same terms with literally everyone else. That’s called being neutral.

People are complaining that an advanced fill tool that’s mostly used to remove a smudge or something is automatically marking a full image as an AI creation. As-is if someone actually wants to bypass this “check” all they have to do is strip the image’s metadata before uploading it.

Chatbots passed the Turing test ages ago, it’s not a good test.

Context onwhat the “doxxing” actually entailed and why it happened.

What was shared was a leaked chat transcript demonstrating the coordinated efforts of many working to silence support for Palestinian liberation.

The transcript clearly demonstrates collective actions taken to contact employers, funding bodies, publishers and journalists to censure anyone deemed to be a threat to zionist ideology. Some of these efforts were successful, the firing of Antoinette Lattouf being but one example.

Basically, they were running harassment campaigns out of a chat that used real names and someone leaked it.

This is ass backwards. UNRWA immediately fired the accused employees solely because they were worried about the potential ramifications and figured it wasn’t something worth fighting. They had and have seen zero actual evidence to back it up. Meanwhile, half the west stupidly took this as evidence that the allegations were true and pulled their future funding, while they too have seen zero actual evidence to back up Israel’s claims.

Although these trucks are regularly bought just for vanity, they’re also the go-to trucks for cross country hauling. And regardless of infrastructure, current electric tech doesn’t do so hot there.

Although, part of their draw compared to others in their class was that they had the “best engines”…

So he’s following the one that’s actually an issue. Cool.

The notice itself isn’t malware, but I’m not sure on the cause. For some reason the Lemmy web client occasionally tries to cache a metric fuckton on iOS Safari (and probably elsewhere but it happens silently), which sounds like something for the devs to look into.

Generally, Lemmy’s 100x better in stability and speed than it was a couple months ago when a bunch of new people started working on it, but before then it was the side project of a handful of people and it showed. EG - The infamous, three-year-old Hexbear instance managed to have the entire picture side of it go down for a couple days because someone uploaded an absurdly large, extremely low quality photo of a North Korean soldier on it. So, there are probably still some issues like that kicking around.

That’s literally what concentration camps are. Points where you “concentrate” a population you’re trying to control.

Outright murdering the people you have in them was a Nazi death camp thing, but the Brits were probably most famous for using them before that while attempting to suppress colonial rebellion.
