@hilli.tech @wgallagher.bsky.social Apple maps is generally good for big places, it's good for navigation even in Italy, but it's very poorly served in the Albania for example. things are just missing or out of date in lots of cases.

@hilli.tech I actually am using apple intelligence on the Mac to do useful stuff, helps with pulling useful points of out legislation in writing tools. so far that works well but need to have human intervention to do any drafting properly, but it does save a lot of time.

OTD in 2022 Russian MOD announced that all Russian troops near Ukraine were returning home. And seeing as we weren't lying, you can believe us in negotiations now.

We did the exact same thing right before invading Georgia.

OTD in 1921 Soviet invasion of Georgia began. Less than a year before we signed a treaty with them promising we'd never invade.

Lying & then invading is a tradition I maintain to this day.

@hilli.tech love the map discussion, our first week of cartography course started with "all maps lie, they all have to distort in order to present some aspect accurately. You can preserve area, angle or shape, but not all three"

The perennial “QEC” CIWS question. Tell me I’m wrong but I feel the resolution is available the phalanx points can be fitter with SeaRAM and pop some Bofors 40mm on the other sponsons. Cheap & cheerful

@thinkdefence.bsky.social so the RAF has binned the herc, with the intent to backfill using the Atlas. But unless the MOD start ordering sharpish that line will close. What then? KC390? Good fast lifter slightly wider than the herc I think?
