some people aren’t used to it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_opera_effect
there was chrome (and firefox probably?) extension that went through your all fb liked pages and unsubscribed from them so that when it’s done timeline is gone entirely. fb went after its dev, removed that extension and banned him forever because it kept people off fb https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-bans-unfollow-everything-developer-delete-news-feed-2021-10 doing this all manually still worked back then, not sure about today
Facebook’s letter took him by surprise, he said, adding that Unfollow Everything had only 2,500 weekly active users and 10,000 downloads.
“It was definitely growing, but it wasn’t huge,” he said.
“Apart from that I just very much saw it as something that improves the Facebook experience for Facebook users,” he added, saying he got “amazing feedback” from people saying they “were using Facebook in a way that was much healthier for them.”

1·30 days agoand i told you before that it’s officers (pilots are generally officers) that will be doing aerial bombing, and because large force on ground is prerequisite for situations you’re describing, it’s not going to happen

4·30 days agothis multicolored pattern looks like this because thickness of layer of whatever is comparable to light wavelength, mechanism is the same as in oil layers on water being colorful. it didn’t spread from magnet, the layer is thinnest near magnet and becomes thicker near edges, which suggest it might be just dirt/oils that accumulated on it by contact. try wiping it with alcohol or acetone or what have you

2·1 month agoi mean that saudis were somewhat restrained about airstrikes, at least publicly, but this action would cause them to not be so. even if they tried, there are extra air defences dragged to saudi for exactly this purpose; every cargo flight and every extra warship makes odds worse for iran, as more missiles would be intercepted, but even if nobody dies, shooting missiles would have diplomatic consequences. another action that would result in rising oil prices would be iran shooting ships in strait of hormuz, but this would also close access to their own single large oil terminal, and there are american warships nearby anyway, so it’s perhaps unwise decision to make today
at this point, i think that decision to strike already has been made, and they’re just stalling so that more metal can come from across the atlantic. dragging an aircraft carrier out there is not done for no reason, and the second one they want to put out there would need to have some of pre-deployment training shortened and done on the way, which is unusual and avoided because there were accidents that this training was supposed to mitigate

11·1 month agoright, let’s see… they propped up unpopular (some 70% iranians oppose islamic republic rule, source), authoritarian, religious minority rule (only 32% iranians reported to be shia in 2020 survey, so before 2022 protests, it might be even less today), that was in a constant state of crisis and when president nho dinh diem got couped and killed, people danced on the streets (iranians burned down mosques and statue of soleimani during january protests). yeah, maybe iran is like vietnam after all, to be more specific like south vietnam during buddhist crisis
i don’t think that regular iranian population, that protested every year in almost decade and these protests were all met with crackdowns, mostly deadly, would like to see islamic republic rule to continue. neither i have heard anything about ground invasion, so all you’ve got out there is couple of pilots (officers) in the air and some more on ships

1·1 month agoexcept irgc and friends, nobody’s sticking out their neck for theocracy and ayatollah, definitely not majority of iranian population (survey from 2024, and this is before irgc did 4 srebrenicas), and i’m not even sure about allegiances of regular military (artesh, not irgc. i heard that irgc disarmed artesh just before january crackdown, not very sure about it). let alone handful of pilots and marine officers that would conduct bombardment

31·1 month agohave you? vietnam was backed by soviet union and china when these states were at peak performance, and north vietnamese government was genuinely popular. iran today is not it, who’s gonna stand up for them, fucking north korea? mullah’s regime doesn’t seem to be popular either https://gamaan.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/GAMAAN-Iran-Religion-Survey-2020-English.pdf also iranian air defences were already shown to be unable of touching american aircraft last year, and nobody’s talking about ground invasion

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Will carrier drone and mesh nets be the coms of the revolution?
6·1 month agono, because they have separate comms using completely different bands. esp when you’re talking about military
if you switch to different band, probably nonstandard and unlicensed, then there must be someone else to listen
