  • I've experienced this with Merlin BirdID by CornellLabs. My suspicion is that they are using some sort of API to verify email existence but only against aboveentioned "big providers". Of course that wouldn't support any of my selfhosted email domains. On the other hand they didn't verify my ownership of said email, therefore I've registered with birds@gmail.com, that I don't control and I sincirelly apologize to whoever does... For my use the account has no value whatsoever anyway. Also, I've checked and my login information are gone from the app now, so maybe the've fixed it already?

    Anyway, I'd love to know what "valid and recognized" means. The only thing that you need for mail delivery is a valid MX record and a mailserver sitting on the end of that record. As an admin by trade, I suspect this is not malicious by design, it is just a lousy/lazy developer who trusts the statistically probable answers of his AI agent more than he should. ( Oh - it's an AI app - that makes it almost certain 😇.)

  • It's currently a 182nd week of the 2 week police operation, Russians got to be tired of all the winniging by now /s.

    I am glad this exists. How else can people who unlike me didn't live under comminist regime get to appreciate the unique unconstrained by reality logic of a communist newspaper 😂

  • Since English isn't my first language my opinion isn't worth much. Anyway - I would consider Huxley to be much easier to digest than Shakespear. First because of the language, 2nd becase reading a play is IMO more challenging than reading a "regular" novel. It might depend on how "modernized" your version of The Tempest is going to be, but if I was in the process of building my reading habbit, I might aim for slightly lower hanging fruit.

    The first book I've ever read in English was Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. The first "ebook" I've read (those days it was one looong hard to navigate txt file) was the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy. I loved both.

  • AFAIK betaflight (IMO the most coommon fc fw) will only start supporting POSHOLD / ALTHOLD from yet unreleased version 4.6. I've recently seen a video about it from Joshua Bardwell - its far from perfect and relies on GPS module that Ukrainians don't use (according to the article above) to keep the cost as low as possible.

    I agree that there is a difference between learning to fly and learning to fly well.

  • I Fought in Ukraine and Here’s Why FPV Drones Kind of Suck - War on the Rocks

    Jump

  • These drones were originally designed to be toys for rich people. Before they were press-ganged into service as tools of war, they were used either in aerobatic displays or in races where a group of operators would compete in flying through an obstacle course. In either case, the drones were not meant to be easy to fly. They were meant to be highly maneuverable, but also unstable. First-person view drones cannot really hover, fly slowly, or linger above a target. The assumption among hobbyists is that enthusiasts will invest the time and money to become proficient at flying. As a result, training a highly proficient operator can take months. A standard, base-level course for Ukrainian drone pilots takes about five weeks. The quality of operators it prepares is questionable, and graduates of the course need extra on-the-job experience to become truly proficient. Most drone pilots I encountered did not go through this course. Instead, they learned to fly drones on the job. Even experienced operators routinely miss their targets and crash into trees, power lines, or other obstacles.

    This surprised me also. FPVs can't hover (it ain't EZ but I thought I can)? 5 weeks for training? I believe I've learned to fly "acro" (on a computer) inside a month - and I am going to work... I don't know what they mean by "highly profficient" though. There may be complexities I don't appreciate, that aren't mentioned...

  • Inflation slowdown, prospects of key rate reduction: statements by Central Bank chief

    Jump

  • Not sure if it's just the Tass being Tass - but somehow her statements are totally missing the debt crisis.

    Total corporate debt has reached RUB 86.2 trillion (about US$1.1 trillion), up 65% compared to the start of the full-scale war. Nearly half of this debt is owed by Russia’s 78 largest companies. One in six of them spends over a third of profits on interest payments, while 8% of the total debt is owed by companies that cannot even cover their loan servicing costs.
