This is true but if it wasn’t intentional Ukraine needs to release a statement if that is the case because:
Russia would never admit to fault and it shows Ukraine is committed to upholding the Geneva convention and therefore has the moral high ground.
That statement to Russian non-combatants would go a long way to winning the hearts and minds of the Russian populace. We can argue ethics and complicity of the Russian population in this war all day and night but the “enemy” treating them with more respect than Putin would make the Kremlin’s propaganda department sweat buckets.

Slap a thermite cartridge into a wing drone airframe that has swivel wings with rotating electric ducted fans and a loudspeaker that can blast a terrifying sound over 140 decibels and you’ve got yourself a dragon.
Sure, we’ll need some target practice before raiding the wealth-hording bunker dwellers.
Plus the desperate and the idiots can go first as bullet sponges.
Well yeah and yeah I get why you are avoiding media that doesn’t have Scientologists (incidentally, fuck Hubbard and fuck Miscavige) but that’s got to be a pretty small pool of film and TV considering the stranglehold they have on not just actors but directors, producers, executives, etc.
Those weren’t artificial intelligences.
But that’s the ONLY difference. The rest is fairly comparable from the hallucinations of stuff that never happened, erasure of stuff that did happen from their data set memories, and completely entrusting due process and justice into a system that was fallible enough to be manipulated by a single bad actor.
Where’s Tom Cruse when you need him?
It is fair to cut her some slack given that she likely was blindsided by the lack of accessibility, not every battle is worth fighting. But any opportunity to embarrass the City Of London Corporation is fair game given the absurdity of pomp and ceremony they surround themselves with.
I can understand not wanting to make a scene but that’s exactly what she should have done. Previous UK disability activists when appearing in TV studios wheeled into the stairs and flop out of their chairs onto the floor to highlight the problem of poor accessibility.
Geopolitics is such a silly but deadly game.
I would guess this is likely to get Russia to dedicate more forces to protecting their nuclear capabilities because without that Putin knows he’s fucked.
The more anti-missile and anti-air are dedicated to protecting nuclear triad infrastructure, the less is protecting other assets like HQs, supply depos, aircraft and other conventional combat systems.
Maybe “Ban this book if you are gay”.
You know, since these pearl clutchers have the intelligence of middle schoolers maybe applying the same deterrence logic.
Time to write a sequel Alan.
And thus the inherent dichotomy of a decentralised social network is revealed: social networks require the network effect for good senses of communities which means one instance will end up hosting most of the bigger communities, therefore true decentralisation can’t occur on Lemmy but it’s a step in the right direction.

I have, I just use it to view Reddit without an account.
I am not going to like the day they remove that.
They think they’re French, that’s why they’re smoking.
Again I agree, and I don’t think NATO should withhold or restrict aid and training if Ukraine don’t issue a statement.
And I agree that looking back over targets hit between Ukraine and Russia it is clear as day that Ukraine IS holding to the high standard in place by NATO members and is targeting only military targets.
The issue is that in the political sphere Russia and their useful idiots and apologists only need one example to try and smear the story into false “well both sides did it” narrative which you then have to pull out the long list and start going through it i.e. it takes more time to disprove a lie than to say it.
If, as it is most likely the case, Ukraine accidentally hit a random tower block then said “whoops, missed the target there, but shit happens in war, it was a guidance failure / got shot down by air defence and crashed / whatever” it provides a quick response to the story the Kremlin will try and spin out of it add to the list of examples you gave how Ukraine treats civilians vastly better than Russia.
I don’t see the downside of doing this. The Kremlin wouldn’t know how to respond.
