  • You cap out at a very short range. Those police drones are meant to hover really high up, and they’ll often have permissions to fly them above 400ft.

    I don’t know the flock ones much I imagine they’re very similar to the dji drones our police force have. They have a lot of power but its not for flying in acro mode or spending a lot of throttle to zip around its using its energy to fight massive winds you encounter the higher up you go.

    It can be a mildly windy day in your back yard and it dramatically changes your battery time. Most of any of the 100 or sub 100 gram tiny whoops get 3-4 minutes tops when you fly aggressively. I imagine flying full bore just to approach the survalience drone is going to drian the battery to the point its unusable before you reach it. You’ll get major voltage drop and won’t be able to fight the wind which absolutely bullies you.

    And all that is with a 580 battery which those drones kind of cap out at before weight becomes a issue. Most fly best in the 350-480 range which have 2-3 minute flight times. Even if you used fishing line that weighs nothing and try to tangle the props I still think you will have a hard time even reaching it. Just to ensure you have reliable video and ample range on your radio you probably end up spending 600+ dollars you might as well upgrade the drone too.

    I just don’t think its pheasable. I’m sure there’s someone that is god like on the sticks, and knows every single motor manufacturers and their specs could pull off something like this.







  • Those 12 dollar ones are less than 100 grams and are using WiFi and would not really put a dent in that drone. Maybe you fan fly it at the props of the survalience drone, but I doubt you can even reach the altitude the survalience drones where meant to run on. Micro drones are actually the best to learn on because they’re so light its much harder to crash them. Once you are over 100-250 grams the force of the impact of a crash is much higher.

    You need a 5 inch frame, something that can use 4s, or 6s batteries that pull more amps. and you’re gonna want fpv if youre doing dog fights. A decent 5 inch frame you build yourself is around 400 with the camera, transmitter, flight controller, motors, props, battery, etc. The radio and fpv head set you can get for maybe 200, but you really want spend around 600 for those. Youre gonna be over the 250 gram flight limit before you gotta start doing legal shit, but fuck the FAA.

    That and most of the “real” drones that arent just some bullshit dji consumer friendly drone don’t fly easily. You get horizon, level, and acro. Acro is the mode you will actually use to fly, and you want at minimum a good 10-20 hours to be proficient enough to just hover/puts around without crashing. I’d say hitting another moving target is some where between 40-80 hours.


  • Elons response when his csam generator generated deep fakes and csam of kids was " we are looking for the people who did this ". No mother fucker it was you who did this.

    As if he had 0 responsibility for the release of the csam generator, and took absolutely no precautions on trying to prevent it from happening. No other major LLM company has this issue, and the amount of negligence is on par with leaving a loaded gun at the playground in a park.

    What’s even worse is instead of immediately shutting down the csam generator elon instead made it so only paying members can generate csam. When people complained again that people where still actively generating csam he simply removed that function to be available in the united States or the uk. So now when someone generates csam of your kids you won’t even be aware of it.

    Now elon musk is fighting at every instance to fight for his right to be able to generate csam. Including suing states.

    Trump says this is legal, and he has pressured states to not make any laws against ai in any shape or form, essentially making it illegal to stop elon musk from making csam.

    This is what Ai boosters call a modern marvel and amazing life changing technology.


  • You can just use a different distro and benifit off all the work that went into developing steam by using the open source tools they threw money at or directly helped along.

    I can pirate games, buy from gog, use a different distro, run the game through lutris/bottles with proton ge, and never open steam, yet they still kind of help bring the community there.

    Sense the steam deck came out there have been so many github projects for linux and gaming just due to the fact people feel like they are apart of the community. Steam tinkers launcher has been amazing and I wish I had that 8 years ago when I barely knew how to make a wineprefix.

    And that shits happening all over again and we are going to get a lot of improvements with fex, and waydroid with the soon release of the steam frame. Fex and waydroid will be crutial for someone trying to fork android, or make a Linux based arch64 os. The work is already benifiting lots of people. Sadly gamesir seems to be the only one taking advantage of this and they’re rather shitty of a company.

    Say what you will of steam being a monopoly, and still being a evil corperation I’m all for it. But the world is not so black and white and sometimes you gotta side with the bad guys because at this moment it benifits you more. At any time steam can start forcing digital ID to play mature games, or start doing weird shit.

    I can’t say the same for companies like nvidia or epic who are now trying to weasle in. Who are completely closed source and don’t have anything that directly helps the community at large. Steam at least gives you the tools to make your own open source steam deck/steam machine competitor because if despite all odds you make a popular consolex most people are still going to end up putting steam on it. That dynamic can change at any moment, but in the now I’m allowed to pick my favorite corperation and willfully ignore a lot of glaring issues, because to me the benifit outways the down sides. If I’m going to get fucked I at least want it to be comfortable, maybe missionary with some mutual kissing. I don’t want someone just raw dogging me doggy style rough, and I don’t think it’s that wrong to have a preference.

    Despite all the criticism against them that I agree with I still personally like then and click in their videos every now and then.

    What I appreciate the most is the are constantly pushing Linux often even if they are misguided, and they have a large audience of rather normal people.

    I do think they are positively contributing to linuxs growth, and helps normalize devices like the steam deck.

    We need more casual stupid users for Linux to ever hit the year of the desktop.








  • First show me where I said we should ban them.

    Second:

    If you where to leave a loaded gun out on the table, and someone where to steal it off your table you would also be held liable for the crime because it wasn’t locked away in a gun safe unloaded.

    LLMs are the equivalent of handing out a loaded gun to everyone for free, even if they adamantly don’t want one. People like Sam Altmann and elon musk who keep pushing for this garbage to be your therapist and the only way to interact with life should face serious consequences like life in prison, and the companies they run should get a fine that’s impossibly large to pay off just like how infowars got a 500billion dollar fine. Info wars and chatgpt are pretty much the same product.
