Casualty figures for Drone Operators are not disclosed
but widely understood to be high
And Ukraine is becoming reliant on civilians to fill roles that once belonged to trained military personnel.
A short but intensive 15-day course is given to a trainee operator for frontline deployment,
a turnaround that reflects the urgent need.

If you're on your way out or into CCH right now, it's a good day to train your Tux-step.
Walk like a penguin to prevent slipping on the ice! 🐧
Wenn du auf dem Weg aus oder ins CCH bist, ist heute ein guter Tag denen Tux-Gang zu üben.

Like all the rest of the nerds, I did a bit of tech support on family computers.
They're all popping up windows from scam virus scanners lying that subscriptions need to be renewed or machines are unprotected. People don't know how to remove these things. Luckily they also don't really know how to pay the subscription.
Their phones are updating on them. Changing where buttons used to be. Removing options. Forcing people to register to use they things they have been doing for years.
They don't know how to register.
Things pop up asking for passwords and they have no idea who is asking or which password to use.
I tell them that I don't really understand why they keep using Windows now it is so shitty and awful. They say they don't know how to use anything else. The fact they don't really know how to use windows either doesn't seem to register.
The tech corporations have given up completely on being user friendly. They are all deliberately user hostile and exploitative now.
Corporate tech is terrible. The industry is failing it's users, abusing them. People don't even know there is any other way. They are just giving up on achieving their tasks until someone can fix the pop-ups and subscription boxes and passwords and 2fa for them.
Tech sucks now. Sucks hard.

PG-rated movies dominate the US Box Office, driven by films like A Minecraft Movie; an NRG study finds kids want a social experience with friends and family (Ben Cohen/Wall Street Journal)

Hollywood Is Reeling—and PG Movies Have Never Been So Popular
The PG rating has become the king of the box office. The entertainment business now relies on kids dragging their parents to theaters.

Lee Miller took this on a holiday in Cornwall, where she had a fling with Paul (right). I love Leonora's wry smile to the camera.
It was 1937, and Leonora would soon have a nervous breakdown after Max was arrested as the war broke out. But this is a moment of bliss.

Israel is the only country in history to regularly occupy UN buildings. The constant defamation against the UNRWA had the nice side effect that such occupations don't lead to any condemnation at all.
The law based order never existed, but whatever legitimacy international laws had in false promises alone is falling apart in front of our very eyes.

/me gets an email newsletter containing the text "smash the link if you want to know more".
I'm feeling the urge to smash something my friend, and it isn't the link.
