Questy@lemmy.worldto Enshittification@lemmy.world•Smells like the beginning of enshittification24·3 months agoThe article seems to be about Bluesky responding to the finding that user data is being scraped because it is public. They are discussing how best to implement user control, and specifically which system is most widely recognised so that it actually reduces data scraping when you select that option. There’s not much there that seems to indicate enshitification, unless it’s that they are admitting no matter which protocol they use, some actors will always ignore it.
Questy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Ukraine agrees to accept ‘immediate, interim 30-day ceasefire’ in war with Russia – live17·4 months agoThis is true, but currently that is also much needed for the Ukrainian forces as well. Time is needed to consolidate after the withdrawal from Kursk and to get more European integration up and running.
Questy@lemmy.worldto Canada•South Korea wants to sell submarines to Canada as relations sour with U.S.2·4 months agoCanada is facing an existential threat right now. While I agree that a sub building program is ultimately where we want to end up, we don’t have time or finance for that as well as the dozens of other procurements our military is desperate for. The KSS-III batch 2 would be a perfect fit for Canada in a few ways. Firstly, it’s a tested design and is in production. This could mean our forces could train immediately on in-service ROKN boats while new hulls are under construction. That could very much reduce time to deployment from the decade or so we’d need for a fully Canadian program to maybe 2 years. Secondly, the KSS-III is one of the very few conventional boats with VLS capability. It is paired with the Hyunmoo 4-4 ballistic missile, which has been successfully launched from the submerged boat. Since the only real defence Canada will ever have against American aggression is a nuclear deterrent, that capability could be key to deployment. The final point I would make in favour of the KSS-III is the size of the hull. It is already one of the largest conventional boats around. It would be a very solid design platform for an expansion to a nuclear powered platform in the future. That could represent a possible partnership between Canada and ROK going forward as our democracies look to survive against the authoritarian superpowers we are surrounded by.

Questy@lemmy.worldto European Federalists@lemmy.world•US envoy to Ukraine hails Zelenskyy as ‘embattled and courageous leader’3·4 months agoWell, sounds like he’s fired. Also, trump never liked him, always thought he was a moron. Such a bad guy, etc
Questy@lemmy.worldto Canada•U.S. controls key equipment on new warships, putting Canada in a potential 'hostage' situation over military procurement11·4 months agoThe F-35 deal pretty much has go too, we can’t but our frontline equipment from an adversary. The modernization of the Rafale and the Gripen E both say they have an enhanced ability to engage 5th gen jets, both could be a good call for Canada.

Questy@lemmy.worldto news@fedia.io•Trump agrees to pause tariffs on Canada and Mexico after they pledge to boost border enforcement2·5 months agoIt’s worth noting that Canada agreed the funding and security deal in December, nothing new has been promised. Well, except escalating retaliation.

Questy@lemmy.worldto Global News@lemmy.zip•Trump says NATO members should raise defense spending to 5% of GDP2·6 months agoI have to say it’s exactly the opposite. There’s no realistic conventional deterrent we could deploy that would be more than a bump in the road. On the other hand, a couple KSS-3 subs off each coast with several nuclear tipped ballistic missiles puts tens of millions of lives and trillions of dollars of infrastructure on the table. It’s about making invasion unthinkable, not desperately fighting an asymmetrical conventional battle we’re doomed to lose.
Questy@lemmy.worldto Global News@lemmy.zip•Trump says NATO members should raise defense spending to 5% of GDP11·6 months agoI mean, yea, he’s already threatening to annex my country so I would like to see more spending. Specifically on a sovereign nuclear deterrent.
I thought it meant you were classified as a battleship…
Questy@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•[Combat] Behold, an elite warrior of the "2nd best army".6·6 months agoDefinitely hammered. I imagine he’s a low priority target in that condition since he’s a considerable risk to himself and his comrades. Already seen a few videos of shitfaced Russians shooting each other or detonating munitions by accident. Just let him work lol

If he was just looking to murder without it being a big deal he could have just killed a few dozen school children.
Questy@lemmy.worldto World News@quokk.au•'Everything is out of control': Poilievre demands Canadian election before Trump takes office, amid Liberal chaos9·6 months agoI think he also wants to get in before the trade war starts. It will negatively impact his campaign if Canadians are actively pissed with trump, and therefore trump’s admirers.
