Hey I came back to this after we didn’t see Tejas or F-16s lol.

Rafales didn’t seem to like the J-10s though ;)

The operation is over now, if you want the latest details, I begrudgingly suggest following the posts on r/Pakistan because there’s barely a Pakistani community on lemmy.

Still active drones crossing the border, a ton of them shot down with lots of pictures and videos. Several videos of India and Pakistan’s airbases getting targeted and/or hit by missiles.

India lost 3 jets already during their attack, but they seem to be penetrating Pakistan’s airspace well with drones and at the very least reaching close to critical targets.

There’s also a very unconfirmed report of a pilot captured due to a video of what appears to be a parachute, but neither India nor Pakistan has made claims of any shot down jets today.

Dawg that’s how BVR fights work.

It’s still a dogfight, you don’t just sit there and let the missile do all the work.

Even before the crazy new range of China’s PL-15, PAF was using AIM-120s and shot down a MiG-21 5 years ago.

Every airforce hides their tactics but you can open any DCS video using BVR missiles to see how difficult it can get

Fun stuff

They still do.

The nice thing about being on lemmy is that these morons get shredded even in the .world community when they roll in with the “ThIs iS wHaT yOu gEt FOr vOTiNg tRuMp” as if Biden didn’t just full send a 15 month long destruction and killing of Gaza.

UK being satisfactory even though its best journalism is crapload BBC and Sky News which is still a plume of smoke that came out of Murdoch’s bum.

Too lazy to check if actual Zionist or Indian larping as a Zionist lmao

Wait till you try fish or zsh loaded with all the fancy plugins lol

Technically no because this is still 1:1 with the 2019 skirmish events so far.

The only difference is this time the army is in total control in Pakistan after ousting Imran Khan, so there’s actually a chance Pakistan won’t or fail to retaliate in a meaningful manner.

Either way, I hope to see J-10s v Rafales or JF-17s v Tejas or F-16 v everything lol.

I mean its possible they might actually be using them only for surveillance without anything on the hardpoints due to the larger range, but I like how the wikipedia file photo is a reaper carrying two hellfire AGMs and a fat paveway LGB for good measure.

“Surveillance” lol

I said the same thing about Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi negotiating a ceasefire and $50 billion dollar Gaza reconstruction plan as if any of those country governments would spend even a cent on the Palestinians.

Edit: which they did without representation from Gaza

Lol my friends joke Lockheed Martin uses Windows for the F-35 software

In theory yes since they’re essentially sponsored by RedHat. (RedHat is owned by IBM)

Which is funny because the Snowden leaks actually showed the NSA likes using Fedora for their fancy spy tech lol.

I guess a good alternative would be OpenSUSE.

Edit: realized you meant in the sense of hot swapping flavors after I typed out a whole explanation lol. Should start recommending niche distros and collect package managers like trading cards lol.

–

yum = dnf, dnf is just the newer version which was rewritten several times.

apt is a weird attempt to “upgrade” apt-get with better user interface without messing with the compatibility of apt-get used by scripts and whatnot.

Both of these are dependency handling package managers which do all the magic of installing required subpackges when you want something.

rpm is the underlying system package manager which deals with the actual task of installing, removing, and generating packages in the .rpm format. It is analogous to Debian’s dpkg which uses the .deb format. It’s usually not used by the end user unless you need to play with a package directly like with a .rpm or .deb file.

Hence why some distros (or people) have their own dependency package manager, like zypper on OpenSUSE (rpm) or Aptitude on Debian (deb).

Although I think Aptitude might just be a fancy wrapper for apt lol.

Saying this like IWT wasn’t already a barely functioning agreement that was actually enforced lol.

Pakistan has a great airforce but their COAS would sign a surrender so fast it’s not even funny.

It is hilarious seeing the difference in Pakistani public reaction online compared to 2019 when they shot down and captured an IAF pilot. Went from national patriotism to no one caring anymore and making memes about the possible outcomes.

IWT has also been pretty rocky in implementation and has a history of being abused. India can’t permanently cut off the water because it would cause flooding on their side, and notably the Indus River also runs through China first which could make it tricky.

I’m all for another PAF v IAF skirmish, but Pakistan really needs its democratically elected civilian government back.

Believe it or not, NTFS isn’t, but Windows is to keep ye olde DOS compatibility lol.

TIL case insensitive filesystems are still a thing actually in use.

Why lol

Shared this before, but someone I know did a chmod on /bin which nuked all the SUID/GUID bits which borked the system lol.

Surpsingly easy enough to undo by getting a list of the correct perms from a working system, but hilarious nonetheless

Ubuntu, and the experience was crap lol.

Then I got to try Debian on a server and it was much nicer.

Then I saw Torvalds uses Fedora, and given that he also disliked Debian and Ubuntu for their lack of end user ease, I switched and have been happy ever since.

Seriously though, GNOME 40 really should not be the default DE. It made me think Linux UI was years behind Windows when it was actually the opposite with proven DEs like XFCE, KDE, and GNOME 3/2 etc.
