Things changing right now too since people are moving in from Twitter so more good accounts may pop up...

(obligatory mentions while posting from mastodon->lemmy: @curryandbeans @ukraine )

Wagner is the only one involved and isn't really a random mercenary group though. Prigozhin is (was) in Putin's inner circle and Wagner was a tool of the Russian government. I don't think this is all that different from a faction in the armed forces trying to stage a coup as happened during Soviet times.

Of course when nukes are fought over it is always scary anyway which is why the USA didn't really want the Soviet Union to fall apart either.

@Jaximus @YellowtoOrange @ukraine

Crazy stuff. They do say that these regimes tend to seem rock solid until they don't.

Unless this is some massive false flag at the very least this should result in some disarray for Russia and that is helpful for Ukraine...

@BombOmOm @ukraine

Haven't watched this in full yet but the "race to the bottom" type comments about how you need to make a device that people actually want I heard about from @davemark here on Mastodon.

#PalmerLuckey said that before too, in the context of the Oculus Quest that time IIRC. It's not entirely wrong that we do need the high end devices that offer the best experience possible to drive things forward. Personally I just think we can and should have the low-end too.

Just note that several large mastodon instances including mastodon.social have blocked bird.makeup so it unfortunately is not available everywhere (personally I find it irreplaceable)

@barsoap @ukraine
Thanks, despite the downvotes this seems informative and helpful to dispel Russian propaganda narratives. It is not useful to deny the existence of right wing Ukrainians but it is to show us how they actually think and what they actually want.

@ukraine

There have been countless accounts of Russian mobiks and people drafted into LPR and DPR forces having to purchase their own gear, getting old and broken stuff etc.pretty much from the start of the war.

Then again Ukrainians are not always able to equip units well either. Donating helps.

@archy does not work through nitter because of the age restriction

I assume this is the same video on mastodon: https://mas.to/@mhmck/110565653781867449

@mike That is interesting, I was curious about whether it is possible to post to lemmy from mastodon... Seems like part of your message ended up becoming the title so I wonder if there is a way to format the message in a way that won't look out of place on lemmy

@c0c0c0 @lesserprophet this is lemmy.world's own Ukraine community. The ban being talked about is https://lemmy.ml/c/Ukraine

@Thorny_Thicket @Eqweytr Gepard can only help to a limited degree because the Russian KA-52s have ATGMs that have a significantly longer range than a Gepard.

@nivenkos Yeah that is correct I believe, still no actual release of it besides system images for Steam Deck.
