Already didn't like #Fedorov, when he was appointed Minister of Defense.
His bullshit number of 50,000 killed Russians per month was just inflated blather.
Don't know, where he got his reputation from. But now at least I know, that my feelings were right from the beginning.

But already before, AI prevents contributions. Why should I add anything to a project, when I am not sure, it won't be overwritten by the next unrevised blob of slop.
Slop projects will be discarded, the moment a dev loses interest. Nobody will throw additional money on it. Nobody will contribute. Nobody will take over.
AI make people stop helping.
"#FLOSS works if everyone helps." is outdated.

Actually, you still need help of others. But you pay for it. And the others are companies, who don't have any interest in you becoming a competitor in whatever field they think they want to invest.
In this moment, your slop machine will stop. "It doesn't seem you have the authorization to work on that kind of software."

AI changed that equation.
Half of the "help" is garbage nowadays. Maybe has always been.
But what changed, you can produce the garbage yourselves now. You don't need the help of others for that.
"If everybody helps" is outdated.

So I should waste additonal time to report. Chances are high that the dev will only read an ai summary and answers with more useless slop.
Your reply made it clear to me, that fdroid is just a pile of software with minimal oversight only. I might have had a different picture of the project before.
Thanks for the warning.

Or maybe in the past, planes were shot down close to the frontline.
In the last few weeks, medium range attacks brought additional reports of destroyed aircraft. But those will never be confirmed because you don't go there twice without a reason.
If you visit them, you bring some presents with you. You don't go there just to watch. The journey is too long for that.

Go to the tab "Aircraft & Helicopters".
In the yellow bar on top, use "Select period".
For start date select "Today"
"Minus" "2" "Months"
The last reported was an aircraft on 16.05. and a helicopter on 18.05., so it seems there is a gap which can't easily be explained by delay anymore.
Ukraine has gamified its reporting system. Maybe confirmation has become harder or is just not so important anymore or Russians are cleaning up quicker?

Soldiers are essential to take control over land. #Ukraine has already fought off an army superior in numbers.
More untrained personnel, mobilized against their will, won't change much.
Russia went from large scale attacks, which are not even just inefficient but ineffective, to infiltrations with single soldiers. And they don't have armored vehicles anymore.
In the end, this may decimate the human capacity needed to start a war against the rest of Europe for at least two decades.

Wouldn't that be a little bit late?
My personal feeling(!) is, the tipping point may have been reached for #Russia already end of July.
Mass mobilization after elections seems more comfortable but the situation may not allow to wait that long.
And the worst for Russia, it won't be of much use. Drones will just increase the body count for a while.

I don't have the power to make Trump push away all the lies. I am not a superhero.
Also Jesus wasn't. He was an ordinary human, as he even said himself (Son of Man).
And it is not about power to make someone do something. It is more about letting go.
So Trump can't do it.
I can see for myself, how letting go is one of the hardest obstacles to overcome. But also easy. A lot of stuff is easy to let go.
What about you? Willing to let go? No?

Estimate is between 8 and 10 billion US$ for March.
Today nearly 75% of the value of the equipment losses were UAVs and missiles.
Reason for this disparity?

22:2 Balak wird eingeführt.
22:5 Bileam wird eingeführt.
22:6 Bileam soll für Balak die Israeliten verfluchen.

"Es hängt letzten Endes alles an den Atombomben. Und mit denen kommen extrem viele Probleme."
Also hängt nichts daran, weil sie zu aufwändig sind und ohnehin nicht sinnvoll eingesetzt werden können.

Cannabis prohibition is not supported by evidence. The arguments get widely ignored.

But another option is to start over from behind. Lowering the barriers to gain acceptance. To get rid of the stigma.
Science budgets are equally illogical.
One option is to apply for funds over and over again until you succeed.
Another option is to find better arguments, why your research is important.
