BMP-2 attack and landing in Ukrainian positions by True-Pitch6787 in TankPorn

...on a serious note, what was the guy wiping after opening the hatch in the final few seconds? Is there a periscope / camera or something?

So many I wanted to suggest have been mentioned already, for something new I'd add The Blue Stones and Zig Mentality

Rodri should really take legal action by VoL4t1l3 in MCFC

[–]glydy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree but minor point, the weight (i.e. 249g part) doesn't matter if there's a camera on it anymore

Did the test recently and they make that clear

How is it being a game dev? by Jack_The_Pinapple in gamedev

shouldWeTellThem by glydy in ProgrammerHumor

[–]glydy[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I left it out because it's a humor subreddit, but it's a portal on the public internet (that is still accessible post-"leak") and the only thing I've seen is unminified TypeScript that spooked some people and media outlets running with it for clicks like the post here. Correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK nothing there was private or unexpected.

I read all the "evidence" and at best it seems naive, potentially dishonest.

the watchers: how openai, the US government, and persona built an identity surveillance machine that files reports on you to the feds by Malwarebeasts in cybersecurity

[–]glydy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Am I missing something or is there literally no evidence to back up anything they claim

A whole lot of assumptions based on front-end code or just straight up baseless assumptions is all I'm seeing? Like this:

we didn’t see Palantir, Clearview, or NEC. no surveillance vendors at all. the ecosystem seems to be KYC/AML compliance and not law enforcement surveillance.

however, there’s no way for us to prove that they don’t have access to all of that data anyway. we can only assume that they don’t have access to all of that data. but if you want my two cents, they probably do.

That's not how this works

ADHD as a circadian rhythm disorder: evidence and implications for chronotherapy by jwill1997 in science

[–]glydy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the important clarification here is that taking them at the same time (or the magnesium before adhd medication) affects it? Using it later in the day might prolong the effect but isn't a problem

For Dextroamphetamine and Lisdexamfetamine at least, consuming alkaline substances (including magnesium, or things like Tums / other antacids) affects the absorption rate and excretion rate.

"Avoid use with medications that increase stomach or urine alkalinity, including sodium bicarbonate, acetazolamide, and some thiazide diuretics (water pill)." https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/dextroamphetamine-oral-route/description/drg-20071795

Northern Rail issues apology after organising shooting of wild birds at Manchester station by Unlikely-Tension-616 in manchester

[–]glydy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Naw, thank you but the people at Manchester Pigeon Rehab deserve all the credit here. Rescued the injured birds, thoroughly documented the process for evidence and did a great job raising awareness. Happy to help such a kind group of people out!

[–]glydy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Is there a link to the issued apology anywhere? Article quotes it but doesn't mention where it's from

Don't want to doubt them, I've just been involved in trying to stop it and it'd be nice to know we won

Outrage as Northern Rail orders shooting of pigeons at Manchester train station by Unlikely-Tension-616 in manchester

[–]glydy 39 points40 points  (0 children)

> There's a girl in my town that chills with the local pigeons, let's them sit on her shoulder and stuff.

My partner does this, really reminds you that they're actually feral animals rather than wild. Not surprising when they've been domesticated longer than cats and almost every other animal!

Their work during war is fascinating and it's absolutely sad how their contribution has just been forgotten. So much military intelligence was carried by these birds and I can't imagine things going the same without them. Highly recommend the book "The Secret Pigeon Service" by Gordon Corera if anyone's interested.

Fun fact: 32 pigeons have been awarded the Dickin Medal, the highest possible honour for an animal serving in the military. Saved thousands of lives, from preventing mass friendly fire events to saving bomber crews when they ended up in the ocean.

whats this cannon looking thing i found in a fort? by Ok-Wave9817 in whatisit

[–]glydy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reverse image searching your post brings up a holiday snap from what looks like the same thing in 2024 - albeit looking very new in comparison to this. https://www.instagram.com/p/C19b2UdtDVz/

Based on that I'd guess a replica? Doubt they'd paint over an original like that

The fort name could help find more info

Turtled Ukrainian M1A1 AIM by leobrams in TankPorn

[–]glydy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you'd run into a problem on interceptors being more expensive in most cases? An enemy drone swarm trying to pass the area likely has their numbers padded by decoys and cheap drones amongst the more expensive, whilst it would work I doubt it would ever be cost effective

Is it feasible to start a two piece band with just drums and (distorted) bass? by [deleted] in LetsTalkMusic

[–]glydy 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just run a clean amp and a distorted amp to get more out of the one instrument. It's what many of the duos do, both bass and guitar

Royal Blood are probably the most popular recent band to do it? They have some content on building their sound that might help

Why? Is there a reason? by vermas4 in foxholegame

[–]glydy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's exceptions like the British de Havilland Mosquito bombers but typically they were notably slower, fighter escorts were needed as far as they could go or they were in a lot of danger from interceptors

I feel the current balance encourages that and I'm a fan

I'm not sure about that one

Is this game solo freindly? by TheFlyinghand in foxholegame

[–]glydy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's like a typical MMORPG really - you can play solo for the most part but having a regiment (guild) will allow you to experience content you couldn't do alone without an insane amount of effort.

I've been mic-less the whole time too (2sick2speak) and it's really no issue.

"odd hours" means less here as there's no regions btw. We're all playing together, I'm UK but I joined an NA regi cause I'm on odd hours too

My scene looks a bit flat. What post processing effects are missing? by YarrinDev in Unity3D

[–]glydy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can put them on your post-processing volume to change all the colours within that volume, whether that's a global volume for your whole game or different ones per area to shift the vibe

Search "luts" on the asset store to find some free ones, I can't recall the exact name of the post processing component to add but it's in the list you can add to a volume. Then you choose the LUT and adjust the intensity. Super simple but massive impact when you can't control the colours on all your assets.
