Personally, I’d prefer verified sources, as that stops wild speculation, but I concede this post was correct.
A broken clock and all that… but I did check DeepStateMAP (linked in OP).
Considering your reasearch of the Telegram user, I will remember them as unreliable and not use them as a source. Thank you 👍
“he’s the only one telling the truth”.
Names were off
DeepStateMap calls it “Kamianske”, Google Maps calls it “Kam’yans’ke”. I guess it’s different translations, and maybe Ukrainian vs. Russian (possibly another strike against the Telegram user).
Anyway, thanks 👍.
Do you mean the parent and OP won’t be notified of your comment? If they come back to the post it will all be visible to them, right? I personally think that’s best, but I was a forum user (phpBB, vBulletin) and rarely got notifications.
On Mastodon it tries to @ everyone so I presume that causes everyone to be notified. You can @ people on Lemmy too I think.
Do I have to sub to 20 of the same boards?
Yes. And then you get 20 versions of the same post hiding the one unique post that you didn’t want to miss out on.
It would actually be better to share / block comunities across instances instead of duping them and creating this schizophrenia.
The problem is instances were supposed to be specific enough that there wasn’t so much duplication. A gardening instance, a technology instance (even these are broad), a Red Dwarf instance. Not general purpose instances with high duplication. It needed forward planning and instances started from the beginning, even if all run by the same people.
Home feed is only chronological, so you need be careful about who you follow. I.e. if you follow someone that posts important stuff, but only weekly, it will get drowned out by following people that post every hour.
You can create Lists. They are essentially different Home Feeds. You can add any account you follow to any list. There is also a “Hide these posts from home” setting for each list, so if you have a certain account you want to follow but don’t want in your Home Feed (eg. it posts too often), you can put it in it’s own List and exclude it’s posts from the Home Feed.
Journalists are just going to go where the most people are because it’s their job to self-promote.
Then they should go to as many places as possibe. It’s a shame that there isn’t more included by/like press.coop. And easier tools to post to multiple platforms at the same time.
I cannot vouch for the source’s credibility, however
DeepState UA shows no update in this area.
The villiage is at 47.5308, 35.3948 (linked in OP) and DeepStateMAP shows changes (in the grey zone) on the 2023-07-15 15:36 and 2023-07-17 23:05.
So, is this guy just way better connected than ISW and DeepState?
DeepStateMAP is known to only update based on visually confirmed or UA official statements.
Is he compromising opsec?
Possibly.
Seems they’re compiling their own map.
I don’t think they are keeping historical data.
I cannot vouch for the source’s credibility, however
The coordinates for this village are 42.2811, 35.5240. No official update there in weeks. I went all the way to 06/20, no change.
That is not the coordinates for the village. As in the OP, it is at 47.5308, 35.3948 and DeepStateMAP shows changes (in the grey zone) on the 2023-07-15 15:36 and 2023-07-17 23:05. DeepStateMAP is known to only update based on visually confirmed or UA official statements.
Without guidance the CEP is not going to be small. Almost certainly wide area suppression.
Unfortunately, the article is 3 days old.
Well, they are good for attacking concentrations of enemy soldiers.
The FPV drone files over the “Tulip” and then turns 180 degrees to attack it, almost like they wanted to warn them. If not they should choose a better attack path next time.
Plant the seed of doubt early and every time the Ukrainians advance, every time a route to Russia is cut off, every time there’s an drone attack, people will be thinking about leaving for safety. Every time someone leaves, the people around them will think about leaving as well. Whether it works or not…
Bigger EFP and twice as fast. So do you think it’s capable of travelling 200m before penetration?
(CBU-97 Sensor Fuzed Weapon (SFW) with BLU-108 submunition/skeet)
True. It just seems like a waste of the element of surprise. Maybe he was a high value target.
The trench seems to be in the low ground, but it could just be the camera angle. I would have thought it would have been better nearer the tree line for cover. The camera shakes like there might have been an explosion nearby but there’s no smoke or debris. Then when the camera pans at the end it seems to be in some cover/trees/bushes but the excavator seems to be skylined, maybe it’s abandoned.
It could be the same for news companies - you’d know that “@krishnangm@channel4.com” is the real guy, because the domain name is owned by Channel 4, and verified by HTTPS.
This!
This is how Mastodon (and Lemmy, etc.) is supposed to work. The BBC should have their own instance with accounts for every programme, presenter, news area, weather area, genre, etc. B&Q should have their own instance with an account for each store, for trades people, for (categories of) offers, etc. Sports teams/leagues should have their own instance with accounts for each team, players, coaches, etc.
Then I can join any instance (or start my own) and pick local BBC news and weather, gardening offers at B&Q, etc. and you can pick anything you want.
The beauty is that the BBC controls the BBC instance, B&Q controls the B&Q instance, etc. I can even control my instance. There isn’t one company in control. They aren’t giving out blue ticks or letting bots post misinformation. When an account/instance becomes untrustworthy you can mute/block/defederate.
The biggest failing to me is that you can’t click follow on one instance and have it follow on your instance. But it’s a limitation of websites, they’d need something like how advertisers track you across websites with JavaScript. It would have to be centralised.
Probably along the same lines as the Austrian Rotax engines (they are plentiful, commercially available and stolen).
